Code § 129.52d, and the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The emission increases because of the increased production capacity will not result in change to the Forum US, Inc/Clearfield Plant facility with respect to Title V permitting, and this facility is required to stay below the thresholds for a Title V facility or major stationary source as it is subject to synthetic minor limitations on coating volume used, and VOC and HAP content limitations under the applicable BAT and miscellaneous metal part coating regulations, as identified previously. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction.
The emission from each proposed source will not exceed the following limits: paint spray booth (Source ID P101B)/overspray panel filters (ID C101B)—0.01 grain/dscf of particulate matter; all coatings used in Source ID P101B—15.75 tons in any 12 CMP for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 6.30 tons in any 12 CMP for any combination of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs); facility wide VOC and Xylene emissions from organic clean-up solvents will be limited with throughput restrictions that effectively limits VOCs and HAPs emitted from cleaning solvents to 1.36 and 0.6 ton in any 12 CMP, respectively; facility wide Xylene emissions from ''as applied'' coating, thinner and organic clean-up solvents—9.9 tons in any 12 CMP. The gas heated air make-up unit (Source ID P102B) is subject to a work practice requirement to operate and maintain in accordance with manufacturer recommended specifications and with good operating practices. The potential to emit for the new and existing welding stations (Source ID P400) is equal to 1.8 tpy of PM-10 and 1 tpy of HAPs, based on the restriction to use consumable electrodes with the same or less potential emissions as the FCAW process E71T electrode type.
In addition to the emission limitations, the following is a brief description of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval in order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements.
Volume used limitations on coatings, as applied, and on organic clean-up solvents used for cleaning of paint application, storage, mixing and conveying equipment for Source IDs P101, P101B and P103, as well as testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, work practice requirements, and reporting conditions to verify compliance with the emission limitations and all applicable regulatory requirements.
As discussed previously, the facility is a State Only facility. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for Plan Approval 17-00066B, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into State Only Operating Permit 17-00066 pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code section 127.450.
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, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-3693.

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.
