Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing
The Department of Environmental Protection has made preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and proposes to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Conestoga Wood Specialties, Inc. at 245 Reading Road, East Earl Township, Lancaster County.

The preliminary RACT determination, when finally approved, will be incorporated into a Plan Approval/Operating Permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary Disanto at (717) 540-5018 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
