FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL ACT SECTION 401The Department has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P.O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen, Volatile Organic Compounds, Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Intent to Issue Revised Air Quality Operating Permit TVOP-65-00016 In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424, 127.425 and 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is providing notice that it intends to issue a renewal Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) to Carpenter Latrobe Specialty Metals Company, LLC to authorize continued operation of the stainless and alloy steel manufacturing facility located in the city of Latrobe, Westmoreland County.
The name and address of the applicant is Carpenter Latrobe Specialty Metals, LLC, 2626 Ligonier Street, Latrobe, PA 15650. Air emission sources at this facility include an electric arc furnace, an argon oxygen decarburization vessel, numerous heat-treating furnaces, vacuum induction melting processes, various rolling, grinding, welding, and sawing operations, scarfing and descaling machines, a boiler, miscellaneous heating units, a precision forging machine, several small emergency generators, and slag handling activities.
The Latrobe Specialty Metals plant is a major facility subject to the operating permit requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F (relating to operating permit requirements) and G (relating to Title V operating permit requirements). In 2018, the company reported the following type and quantity of actual emissions: CO—128.08 tons per year (tpy); NOx—121.93 tpy; PM10—10.25 tpy; SOx—2.42 tpy; VOC—3.11 tpy, total HAPs—0.73 tpy, Chromium—0.56 tpy; Formaldehyde—0.006; Hexane—0.16 tpy; Nickel—0.006 tpy; Ammonia—2.20 tpy; and greenhouse gases (GHGs)—84,585 tpy.
The emission restrictions and testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions of the TVOP have been derived from the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, 63, and 70, and 25 Pa. Code Article III, Chapters 121—145.
As part of this action, the Department also intends to approve a significant permit modification application to revise the NOx and CO emission limits for Source 101, Electric Arc Furnace (Furnace B), in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.541. The limits are being changed back to those found in the original Title V Operating Permit as follows:
NOx—6.7 lbs/hr is being increased to 19.5 lbs/hr
CO—17.4 lbs/hr is being increased to 44.1 lbs/hr
NOx—29.3 tons/yr is being increased to 60.4 tons/yr
CO—76.1 tons/yr is being increased to 162.6 tons/yrThe Department has evaluated the effect of these changes and has determined that this project is not considered a major modification under either the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 or the Nonattainment New Source Review provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 Subchapter E.
Additionally, as part of this action, the Department intends to issue approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan for Carpenter Latrobe Specialty Steel, LLC. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania 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 stainless and alloy steel manufacturing facility owned and operated by Carpenter Latrobe Specialty Steel, LLC located at 2626 Ligonier Street, Latrobe, PA 15650 in the city of Latrobe, Westmoreland 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, 2008, and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. Other sources at the facility meet the presumptive RACT II requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.97.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit (65-00016) 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:
Source RACT II Requirement TVOP 65-00016 Cond. No. 101, Electric Arc Furnace
(Furnace B)
102, AOD
Vessel Refining
In accordance with the case-by-case RACT determination procedures of 25 Pa. Code § 129.99, RACT for Sources 101 and 102 is the maintenance and operation of this source in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and the continued use of good operating practices and techniques to limit the availability of free nitrogen to limit NOx formation. Section E, Group G13 Condition
