Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan for KME Corporation located in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT II plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the mobile equipment manufacturing solvent cleaning operations owned and operated by KME Corporation in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT II approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 2008 NAAQS for ozone.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination have been incorporated into the revised operating permit (13-00008) for the facility. The relevant RACT II requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal.
The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the RACT II determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation—Roystone Compressor Station (1878 Route 6, Sheffield, PA 16347) located in Sheffield Township, Warren County, for approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan.
The facility has potential emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) above major source thresholds and is subject to RACT II requirements. Plan approval No 62-141H is for the proposed replacement of the existing in-stack flares in the dehydrator units (Source 049 & Source 050) with a new thermal oxidizer for RACT II compliance.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT II plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the natural gas compression station owned and operated by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation—Roystone Compressor Station.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT II approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 2008 NAAQS for ozone.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into the facility operating permit. The relevant RACT II requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal.
