PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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 DEP received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, DEP'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 DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and telephone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.

Individuals 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 DEP'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.

Any individual wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, 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 DEP determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP Regional Office.

Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

54-00004, Gilberton Power Co./John B. Rich Memorial Power Station, 81 Eleanor Avenue, Frackville, PA 17931-2301, Mahanoy Township, Schuylkill County. Application received: December 23, 2022. The Department intends to issue a renewal Title V Operating Permit for the electric generation facility located in Mahanoy Township, Schuylkill County. As a major source, the facility is subject to the Title V permitting requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments as adopted by the Commonwealth under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The main sources at this facility consist of two (2) fluidized bed boilers, an auxiliary boiler, ash handling system, and a diesel fire pump. The sources are controlled by baghouses. These sources have the potential to emit major quantities of regulated pollutants above Title V emission thresholds. On April 23, 2016, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) published 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, Additional RACT Requirements for Major Sources of NO_x and VOC, also known as Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II). Gilberton Power Co./John B. Rich Memorial Power Station qualifies as a major source of NO_x emissions because facility-wide potential NO_x emissions are above the RACT II major source threshold (i.e., 100 tons per year). As a result, the NO_x emitting operations at the facility will be subject to the provisions of the RACT II rule. The NO_x emitting sources at the facility are Source ID # 031 and Source ID # 032, the Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boilers, Source ID # 033, an Auxiliary Boiler, and Source ID # 200, a Diesel Fire Pump. The Presumptive RACT II requirements are included in the TV operating permit. Chapter 129 §§ 129.111—129.115—Effective on November 12, 2022, upon its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) amended Chapter 129 to establish additional presumptive reasonable available control technology (RACT) requirements and RACT emission limitations for certain major stationary sources of oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions in existence on or before August 3, 2018. These additional requirements and limitations, collectively known as RACT III, address the Federal requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Gilberton operates several sources subject to RACT, including Source ID # 031 and Source ID # 032, the Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) Boilers, Source ID # 033, an Auxiliary Boiler, and Source ID # 200, a Diesel Fire Pump, however, the requirements for these sources were previously incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit under RACT II. The Presumptive RACT III requirements are included in the TV operating permit. The proposed Title V operating permit contains applicable requirements for emission limitations, work practice standards, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting standards used to verify facility compliance with Federal and State air pollution regulations.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS

This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (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 (DEP) 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:

Parameter 30-Day
Average Daily
Maximum Instantaneous
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 must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0.

Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity.

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 § 77.522 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters DEP 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.
