Notice of Action To Be Taken
Plan Approval Application No. PA-15-0002A Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval to Quebecor Printing Atglen, Inc. (Quebecor), P. O. Box 465, Atglen, PA, to construct a publication rotogravure at the Quebecor printing facility, located in West Sadsbury Township, Chester County. The rotogravure press with carbon adsorption system are described in the Quebecor plan approval application of March 5, 1997, and subsequent submissions.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis, this operation will emit 150 tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The VOC emissions increase will be offset at a ratio of 1:1.3 resulting in no net increase of VOC to atmosphere. Offsets are available from internal emission reduction credits generated within the printing facility.
Copies of the application, technical review by the Department, and other supporting documents used in the evaluation are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address shown.
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department has placed the following conditions in the Plan Approval:
Operating and Monitoring Requirements
A. Rotogravure press No. 7 shall be constructed within a permanent total enclosure. The captured emissions from the source shall be directed to the Dedert solvent recovery system SRS2 with a minimum of 98% overall control efficiency. In order to insure the 98% overall control efficiency is maintained, the company shall calculate the overall control efficiency based on Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEM) of solvent vapor concentrations on the inlet side of solvent recovery verses the solvent concentration on the outlet side of solvent recovery system.
B. The total combined airflow to SRS2 shall not exceed 225,000 SCFM at any time.
C. The press shall be equipped with a flow meter to measure and record the airflow from the source. The airflow from the source shall be recorded on a daily basis and shall be reported in SCFM to demonstrate compliance with conditions 4.A.
D. QPA shall operate rotogravure press No. 7 under the following conditions:
1. The total VOC throughput for press 7, including ink VOC, solvent VOC and cleaning solvent shall not exceed 15,000,000 pounds of VOC per year.
2. The total potential VOC emissions to be captured from the source and directed to the solvent recovery system shall not exceed 7,500 tons per year.
3. Rotogravure press No. 7 covered under this Plan Approval shall be operated and maintained in a manner consistent with good operating and maintenance (O&M) practices.
Emission Limitations and New Source Review Requirements
A. The total VOC emissions from the press shall not exceed:
1. Maximum Peak Hourly Rate of 43 pounds per hour.
2. Annual rate of 150 tons per year as a 12 month rolling sum calculated monthly.
B. The facility net emission increase of 73.7 tons VOC per year, calculated as follows, shall be offset at a ratio of 1:1.3.
Five year net VOC emission increase, as it pertains to 25 Pa. Code § 127.203(c)
Source/Activity Plan Approval # Date Net Emission Increase (tons/yr) Presses 21 and 22 installed PA-15-0002B 08/15/97 + 21.0 Press 7 installed PA-15-0002A Upon issuance + 150.0 Press 6 removed 02/1998 -97.3 Total Net Increase from Contemporaneous Modifications 73.7
In order to offset the facility net emission, QPA shall use the emission reduction credits (ERC) generated from the overcontrol of fugitive emissions in the facility press room.
C. Prior to start-up of Press 7, the company shall provide an appropriate ERC credit from the Department's ERC Registry.
Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements
A. The company shall maintain a VOC emission tracking system to document compliance with the total VOC throughput and emission limitation requirements of this Plan Approval. The system shall quantify emissions from the source by accounting for the amount, in pounds, of all VOC materials used for each job.
B. The company shall record the following information for the source to demonstrate compliance with the total VOC throughput and emission limitation requirements of the Plan Approval:
1. Daily ink usage in gallons and pounds of material as applied per job.
2. The materials composition:
* Percent solids by volume
* Percent organic solvent by volume
* Percent water by volume
* Pounds of VOC per gallon minus water
* Pounds of VOC per pound of material
* Density of solvents
3. Hours of operation:
* Number of production runs per day (runs/day)
* Duration of each run (time/run)
C. The company shall generate a summary of the actual VOC emissions. Emissions shall be calculated monthly based upon time and run averages.
D. Records required under this Plan Approval shall be kept for a period of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
NSPS Requirements
Rotogravure press No. 7 is subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart QQ--Standards of Performance for the Graphic Arts Industry and shall comply with all applicable requirements of this Subpart. Under 40 CFR 60.4, the company shall submit copies of all requests, reports, applications, submittals and other communications to both the EPA and the Department.
Special Permit Requirements
A. The facility's net emission increase of 73.7 tons VOC per year exceeds the emission threshold specified in § 127.203 and shall be offset at a ratio of 1:1.3, as required by 25 Pa. Code § 127.210.
B. In order to offset the 73.7 tpy increase QPA shall use the ERC generated by the overcontrol of fugitive emissions from Presses No. 1,2,3,4 and 4A.
Required VOC Emission Reduction
Net VOC Emission Increase Offset Ratio Reduction Required Tons/Yr Tons/Yr 73.7 1.3:1 95.8 ERC Available: 260.0 tpy Reduction Required: 95.8 tpy ERC Available after Transaction 164.2 tpy C. In order for the 260 ton ERCs to be certified under 25 Pa. Code § 127.207, the company shall reduce the potential to emit (PTE) of presses 1-4A. The new PTE of the presses 1-4A shall be equal or less than 1410 tons VOC per year as a 12 month rolling sum.
D. In order to make the ERC permanent and Federally enforceable, the company shall comply with the following conditions:
Permit Source Control System Allowable Emissions, tpy 15-320-007C Presses 1,2,3,4, and 4A Solvent Recovery System (SRS) 1 828 PA-15-0002B Presses 21 and 22 Thermal Oxidizer 21.0 PA-15-0002A Press 7 SRS2 150.0
1. The VOC emissions from presses 1-4A shall be controlled by SRS1 at a minimum of 85% of capture/control efficiency. The facility, as a whole, shall maintain an overall control efficiency of 91% or higher.
2. The company shall not operate presses 1-4A whenever the SRS2 is out of service.
3. Press 6 shall be permanently shut down prior to start-up of press 7.
Testing Requirements
A. The company shall perform a VOC emission stack test on the source covered by this Plan Approval in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 139 of the rules and regulations. The stack test shall be performed while the source is operating at the maximum rated capacity as stated on the application. The test shall be conducted at the inlet and outlet of the solvent recovery to demonstrate compliance with the VOC control requirement and VOC emission limitations of the Plan Approval.
B. At least 60 days prior to the test, the company shall submit to the Department for approval the procedures for the test and a sketch with dimensions indicating the location of sampling ports and other data to ensure collection of representative samples. A test protocol shall be approved by the Source Testing Section of the Department prior to testing.
C. The test shall be performed within 60 days from protocol approval. At least 30 days prior to the test, the Regional Air Pollution Control Engineer shall be informed of the date and time of the test.
D. Within 30 days after the source test, two copies of the complete test report, including all operating conditions, shall be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Manager for approval.
