PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING
PERMIT APPLICATIONSThe Department has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.

43-309C: Deist Industries, Inc., dba Bucks Fabricating (3550 Perry Highway, Hadley, PA 16130), the Department intends to issue an Air Quality Plan Approval for the proposed installation and operation of a third surface coating booth, a heated air make-up unit, a source modification, and an increase in the facility-wide potential to emit (PTE) for their facility located at in Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County.
Notice is hereby given, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(b), for actions taken on an application for plan approval for sources located within a Title V facility.
This facility currently operates two (2) surface coating operations under authority of Operating Permit NM-43-00309. The proposed new sources include: One (1) Colmet Spray Booth, XDS series, Model XDS-20-14-50-P-DT (Source 114) equipped with Binks Receptor Filter, or equivalent, panel/blanket type filter, and one (1) natural gas-fired Comet Spray Both Heated Air Make-up Unit, Model CT-227 NG HRH H.O.T. (Source 115) rated at 5.5 MMBtu/hr.
Installation and operation of the proposed new equipment increases the facility-wide PTE for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), combustion emissions identified as Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulfur Oxides (SOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Particulate Matter (PM, PM10, PM2.5), VOC, HAP, and Greenhouse gases (GHG). The modification to Source 102, Assembly Cleaning Process (Hand Wipe), increases the potential VOC and HAP emissions. The combined emissions increase resulting from installation and operation of the new sources, Sources 114 and 115, and the modification to Source 102 are estimated to be 37 tons of VOC per consecutive 12-month period and 6.74 tons of HAP per consecutive 12-month period.
The surface coating operation is subject to the 25 Pa. Code § 129.52d Table 1, VOC content limits for Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating for Extreme Performance Coatings and is limited to:
(i) Air-dried—3.5 lbs/gal coating, less water & exempt compounds, as applied (0.42 kg VOC/liter coating, less water & exempt compounds, as applied)
(ii) Baked—3.0 lbs/gal coating, less water & exempt compounds, as applied (0.36 kg VOC/liter coating, less water & exempt compounds, as applied)
The following proposed emission increases for the new sources (Sources 114 and 115) and the modified source (Source 102) are summarized:

0 The facility-wide VOC emission limitation will increase to 67 tons in any consecutive twelve (12) month rolling period. As a result of this increase, the facility is now a major VOC emitting facility and meets the definition of a Title V facility. After the new equipment construction is complete and the temporary operation period commences, the owner/operator shall submit a complete Title V operating permit application, including all sources (new and existing) and controls, for authorization to continue operation at the facility.
This action is subject to State regulations including 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127—Construction, Modification, Reactivation, and Operation of Sources and Compliance Assurance Monitoring Plan. These modifications will result in facility-wide criteria pollutant emission increases to levels above the major source threshold for VOC but remain below the significance levels for Nonattainment New Source Review under 25 Pa. Code Subchapter E and Prevention of Significant Deterioration under 40 CFR 52.21.
The emissions from the new and modified sources have been evaluated and determined, through a five (5)-step, ''top down'' analysis approach, to meet the minimum attainable emissions through the use of best available technology as required 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(a)(5). The facility will demonstrate compliance with emission limitations through air pollution control devices, monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice requirements, as applicable.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44, the public notice provisions, the Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, has made a preliminary determination to approve this Plan Approval.
