Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b) that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Plan Approval # 45-00005C to Sanofi Pasteur, Inc, Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370 for their facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit # 45-00005 through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan approval # 45-00005C is for the installation and operation of two (2) natural gas fired boilers (#13 & #14) at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The designed rated heat input to boiler #13 & #14 will be 49.00 MMBtus/hr each. Each boiler will fire natural gas as a fuel using a forced draft low NOx burner with internal flue gas recirculation.
The following emission limitations are set for each new boiler.
NOx emissions—From BAT, 30 @ PPM 3%O2 when firing with natural gas.
CO emission—From BAT, 100 PPM at 3% O2.
The facility is located in an area designated as a marginal nonattainment area for 03. The project area is also included in the northeast Ozone Transport Region (OTR). The facility is currently a major source for NOx emissions only. The NA NSR PAL chosen by the company for the NOx emission will keep the proposed emission increase from the facility below the NSR applicability triggering thresholds from the proposed new sources. Thus, the addition of sources will not subject the facility to the provisions of NA NSR for NOx. Emissions of SO2, CO, NOx,, TSP, PM10, lead, asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, fluorides, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, total reduced sulfur, and reduced sulfur compounds associated with the proposed projects will be below the PSD significant emission rates as the company will maintained the emissions from the entire facility below the PSD PALs level and thus are not subject to PSD review.
Copies of the applications, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the applications are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701.
Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit No.: 45-00005C and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Raymond Kempa, P.E., Environmental Group Manager, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, Phone 570-826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.

A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
