REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Public Hearing
Clark Filter
Lancaster County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and proposes to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Clark Filter located at 3649 Hempland Road in West Hempfield Township, Lancaster County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Operating Permit No. 36-2040 for the existing facility to comply with current regulations. The preliminary VOC RACT determination for the paper coating facility is the use of compliant coatings and/or catalytic incineration in the reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
The preliminary RACT determination, when finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States 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) 705-4732 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on April 28, 1999, at the Lancaster District Office, 1661 Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA 17602 from 1 p.m. until all scheduled comments on the proposal are received.
Those wishing to comment are requested to contact Karen Sitler at (717) 705-4904 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to schedule their testimony. Those wishing to provide testimony are requested to provide two written copies of their remarks at the time of the hearing. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual. Organizations are requested to designate an individual to present testimony on behalf of the organization. Written comments may be submitted to Rick Millard, Air Pollution Control Engineer, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200 on or before April 28, 1999.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing scheduled for April 28, 1999, at the Lancaster District Office and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Karen Sitler directly at (717) 705-4904 or through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
