SPECIAL NOTICES
AIR QUALITY Northwest Region: 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, 814-332-6945.
Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Volatile Organic Compounds, Notice of Intent to Issue Modified Title V Operating Permit, and Notice of Public Hearing for the Air Quality Operating Permit 61-00011 Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan for Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC located in Cornplanter Township, Venango County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve an alternate Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan and seeks approval of an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC in Cornplanter Township, Venango County. And in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department intends to modify the Title V Operating Permit for the facility. The facility is located at 292 State Route 8, Oil City, PA 16301. The facility's representative to contact concerning this application is Mr. Lee Wilson, Safety, Health, Environmental, and Security Manager. His phone number is 814-677-2028 Ext. 6217.
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.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into the modified operating permit (61-00011) 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 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; this includes the provisions of the Department's presumptive RACT II requirements in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.97, as they apply to existing sources at the facility.
The facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments due to its potential to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The facility is therefore subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. Permitted sources at the facility include a gas-fired/oil-fired boiler, furnaces, dryers, distillation columns, process vessels, storage tanks, fired pump engines, and miscellaneous chemical process manufacturing equipment.
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 Krystal Unit North & South Dryers, Source 102: • VOC bypass emission limit of 8.9 tons per year, based on a 12-month rolling total.
• Emergency atmospheric bypass time shall not exceed 292 hours per year (based on a 12-month rolling total).314 & 340 Distillation Column Vents, Source 107: • VOC bypass emission limit of 13.2 tons per year, based on a 12-month rolling total.
• Emergency atmospheric bypass time shall be limited to 5% of distillation operating hours.
• Annual out-of-service inspections and periodic in-service inspections. Based on these inspections, perform maintenance to reduce air leaks into the system to reduce high oxygen concentrations that can cause atmospheric bypass.Public hearing. A public hearing will be held if requested by February 3, 2020 to accept oral comments on the proposed operating permit revision and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held, if requested, on February 6, 2020 at 10 a.m. at the DEP Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.
