The hearing is for the Department to accept testimony concerning its decision to approve, with conditions, a modification to Owens-Brockway Glass Container's (Route 219 North, Brockway, PA 15824) Plant #19, Crenshaw, Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Operating Permit, No. OP 33-002. Owens-Brockway has applied to the Department, based on high maintenance and replacement costs, for revision of the operating permit, to remove the requirement for a NOx Continuous Emission Monitor (CEM). The CEM is used for showing compliance with NOx RACT emission limitations on Glass Melting Furnace A. Annual stack testing will be a condition of the revision, and will be required for NOx emission compliance monitoring.
The RACT Operating Permit was issued to meet the requirements under 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 (RACT), concerning the emissions of nitrous oxides (NOx), from various air contamination sources. The modified RACT proposal will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan. This facility is located in Jefferson County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. The revision incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for this facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facility and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the above proposed modified operating permit, and the proposed SIP revisions. The public hearing is scheduled on April 21, 1998, 1 to 3 p.m., at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
