UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.

The Department issued a renewal of the State Only Natural Minor Operating Permit for the graphite processing facility. The 2022 site estimated potential emissions, in tons per year (TPY) of the primary pollutants are as follows: 0.01 TPY SOx, 1.86 TPY NOx, 1.56 TPY CO, 0.23 TPY VOC, 0.02 TPY HCl, 0.0 TPY HF, 0.18 TPY Cl, and 4.98 TPY PM. Natural gas combustion sources at the facility are the only reported sources of CO, SOx, and NOx. The graphite purification furnaces emit 95% of the PM. The Cl emissions are shared by the graphite purification and vacuum outgas furnace processes. The chemical vapor deposition reactors are the only emitter of HCl. Wet scrubbers are used to control emissions for most of the processes except the machining operations that use high efficiency baghouses to control PM. The renewal permit contains emission restrictions, recordkeeping, work practices, and additional requirements to ensure compliance with the Clean Air Act and the Air Pollution Control Act.

DEM-63-01040A: Range Resources Corporation, 3000 Town Center Boulevard, Canonsburg, PA 15317, Mount Pleasant Township, Washington County.
On October 7, 2024, Range Resources Corporation (3000 Town Center Boulevard, Canonsburg, PA 15317), submitted a notice of a de minimis increase which would result in an emission increase at its Stuart Nancy 11327 Well Pad. This Notice is published per 25 Pa. Code Section 127.449(i). The Stuart Nancy 11327 Well Pad is an unconventional natural gas well pad. This facility is regulated by General Permit GP-5A-Unconventional Natural Gas Well Site Operations and Remote Pigging Stations (2700-PM-BAQ0268), GP5A-63-01040A, authorized for use on July 24, 2020. The project is the installation of a 195-watt, Thermoelectric generator (TEG). The well pad will comply with requirements in DEM-63-01040A. Installation of this TEG will not change potential air emissions from any other source at the facility.
Per Section 15 of BAQ-GPA/GP-5 for Natural Gas Compression Stations, Processing Plants, and Transmission Stations which requires compliance with the emission limits in 25 Pa. Code § 127.449 (d) among other requirements, the Department has determined this change is exempt from Plan Approval as a de minimis emission increase. Also, this project is not exempt from Operating Permit. At the time of Operating Permit renewal, the constructed equipment and these requirements will be incorporated into the State Only Operating Permit at a later time.
The following list displays the change in potential emissions from the facility during the current permit term:

43-00182: Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) 3 plan for the Wheatland Tube LLC, Council Avenue Plant, located in City of Hermitage, Mercer County, as a significant modification to its applicable Title V operating permit.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.111—129.115 (relating to additional RACT requirements for major sources of NOx and VOCs for the 2015 ozone NAAQS), the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department, DEP) has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT 3 plan for the Wheatland Tube LLC Council Avenue Plant. The RACT 3 plan, if approved by the Department, will be issued as a significant modification to the facility's Title V operating permit (43-00182).
The RACT 3 plan incorporates provisions and requirements for the control of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) provisions and requirements are intended to address the Commonwealth's RACT obligations under section 184 of the Clean Air Act for the 1997, 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The RACT 3 plan does not adopt any new regulations. If approved by the Department, this RACT 3 plan will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as a revision to the Commonwealth's State Implementation Plan (SIP). Requirements that are not part of the RACT 3 plan will be excluded from the SIP revision submittal.
The following is a summary of the RACT 3 plan requirements for this facility that are proposed to be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP:
Source ID 101 Continuous Weld Furnace: NOx emission shall not exceed 47.18 tpy. The permittee shall perform an extended annual shutdown of the source for major overhaul and maintenance including burner adjustment/tuning, refractory repair/replacement, and refractory re-alignment. The independent oxygen supply used by the furnace shall be continuously maintained to ensure optimum combustion efficiency. The oxygen supply shall be inspected daily. All burners shall undergo maintenance as needed to ensure proper tuning and air fuel ratios. The burners shall be inspected monthly at a minimum.
Source ID 102 # 1 Galvanizing Kettle NOx emission shall not exceed 3.97 lb/hr and 17.41 tpy.
Source ID 103 # 2 Galvanizing Kettle NOx emission shall not exceed 6.01 lb/hr and 26.32 tpy.
Source ID 102 and 103 shall perform an annual source inspection and burner tune up and all burners shall undergo maintenance as needed to ensure proper tuning and air-fuel ratios. The burners shall be inspected monthly at a minimum.
