SPECIAL NOTICES
Air Quality; Application for Initial Acid Rain Permit Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790.
Contact: Norman Frederick, PE, Environmental Engineer Manager—Telephone: (570) 826-2409.
TIV 40-00129: Moxie Freedom, LLC (Moxie Freedom, LLC, 565 Fifth Avenue, 29th Floor, New York, NY 10017) has submitted an application to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for the initial Acid Rain Permit, TIV 40-00129, for the Moxie Freedom Power Project located in Salem Township, Luzerne County. This Title V facility is subject to the Acid Rain Requirements of Title IV of the Clean Air Act. The application is subject to the regulatory requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 72. The Acid Rain Permit will cover the two combined cycle combustion turbine units at the facility. The Acid Rain Permit incorporates the applicable requirements to the units, as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.531 and 40 CFR Parts 72—80. The S02 allowance allocated by the Acid Rain Program pursuant to 40 CFR Part 73 for this facility is zero. The Title IV permit includes special permit conditions for the allowance tracking system. The units are not subject to the NOx emission limitations of 40 CFR Part 96 since they are only authorized to combust natural gas for operation. Based on the information previously presented and included in the application for the initial Acid Rain Permit, TIV 40-00129, the Department intends to issue TIV 40-00129 for the Moxie Freedom Power Project. The proposed permit will become effective 180 days from the commencement of commercial operation date and expire 5 years from the issued date. The Acid Rain Permit will be incorporated into the initial Title V operating permit for the facility.
All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional office, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling (570) 826-2511.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to the Department at the address shown in the preceding paragraph. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments; identification of the proposed permit (specify TIV 40-00129); and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information 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 by the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where the Department determines the notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Raymond Kempa, Chief, New Source Review Section, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, (570) 826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.

Revision to the Registered ERCs in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has approved the following Emission reduction credits (ERC) and entered into ERC registry system. ERCs are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of criteria pollutants. The Department maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206—127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements.
The certified ERCs shown as follows, in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206—127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the over control of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency.
For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact the Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.
