2. The permittee shall comply with the applicable monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements pertaining to the boilers as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.203a(a)(5)(iii)(B).
3. (a) The quantity of natural gas combusted in each primary boiler shall not exceed 13,000 MMscf per boiler in any 12 consecutive month period. (b) The heat input provided by natural gas to each primary boiler shall not exceed 35% of total heat input to the boiler, on an hourly basis.
4. To satisfy the New Source Review requirements, the permittee shall be in possession of 50.95 tons of volatile organic compound (VOC) emission reduction credits prior to the startup of any modified source included in this plan approval.
5. The natural gas used to operate the boilers shall meet pipeline quality natural gas specifications.
6. No later than 180 days from the date of startup after the completion of the natural gas burner installations, the permittee shall perform EPA reference method stack testing for volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 microns (PM10), and particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5), including condensable particulate, on the primary boilers to determine site-specific VOC, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 emission rates and verify compliance, while the source is operated within 5.0% of its maximum natural gas combustion capacity at routine maximum operating conditions.
7. No later than 180 days from the date of completion of the modifications to Auxiliary Boiler 11A, the permittee shall perform EPA reference method stack testing for NOx, VOCs, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 to determine site-specific emission rates and verify compliance, while the source is operated on natural gas at routine maximum operating conditions.
8. The permittee shall continuously monitor the hourly heat input (MMBtu/hr) to the primary boilers for each type of fuel combusted.
9. The permittee shall obtain and maintain records of the current, valid purchase contract, tariff sheet, or transportation contract from the natural gas supplier that certify the natural gas supplied to the facility meets pipeline quality specifications. The permittee shall create and maintain records of the combined VOC emissions on a monthly basis from the boilers to ensure that the emissions from all three units do not exceed the continuous 12-month rolling limitation. The permittee shall create and maintain records of the fuel mix combusted in the primary boilers, as a percentage of total heat input to the boiler, on an hourly, daily, and monthly basis. All records generated to verify compliance with the conditions of this plan approval shall be kept for minimum of five (5) years and shall be available upon request by the Department.
10. No later than 90 days from the date of completion of the modifications to Auxiliary Boiler 11A, a revised NOx Emissions Predictive System Monitoring Plan which includes natural gas-firing scenarios, shall be submitted to the Department for approval.
The facility is a major (Title V) facility.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. 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.

E41-685. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Engineering District 3-0, PO Box 218 Montoursville, PA 17754-0218. S.R. 2013 Section 007, Laurel Run Bridge Replacement Moreland Township, Lycoming County, Baltimore ACOE (Lairdsville, PA Quadrangle N: 41° 10` 15"; W: -77° 36` 56").
PA DOT Engineering District 3-0 proposes to replace a single span concrete slab bridge with a single cell precast concrete box culvert. The existing bridge has a span of 20.0 Ft., a skew of 69 degrees, an underclearance of 5.0 Ft., and a low chord of 742.12 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 100 Ft2. The proposed box culvert has a span of 22 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 5.4 Ft., and a low chord of 741.75 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 118.6 Ft2. The proposed box culvert will be depressed twelve inches and include standard baffles to accommodate aquatic passage in accordance with the BD-632M and PA Fish and Boat Commission recommendations. In addition, the project will include approximately 120 L.F. of channel grading at the culvert outlet to remove channel deposition and provide a consistent channel grade. No upstream channel grading is proposed and the proposed box culvert will prevent channel head cutting. The project will temporarily impact 0.24 acre and permanently impact 0.03 acre of jurisdictional wetlands. The wetland impact is considered Deminimis and does not require mitigation. Laurel Run is classified as a Cold Water Fishery by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards.
