23-00044: Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) (Commerce Drive, Interstate I-95 Industrial Park, Aston, PA 19014) in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware county. The facility's major emission points include: 12 Petroleum Storage Tanks which emit major levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and also emits some hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Southwest Regional Office: Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4174.
TV-06-00100: Highland Tank & Mfg. Co. (One Highland Road, Stoystown, PA 15563) for their tank manufacturing and coating facility in Stoystown, Somerset County. As a result of the potential levels of HAPs emitted from this facility it is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V Permitting Requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
TV-63-00080: Allegheny Ludlum, Houston Facility (Route 519 North, Western Avenue, Houston, PA 15342) in Chartiers Township, Washington County for operation of an integrated steel mill and includes sources such as two EAFs, an AOD, a continuous caster and a rolling mill. As a result of the levels of the emissions, the center is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is there subject to the Title V Permitting Requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Northwest Regional Office: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, (814) 332-6940.
43-00036: Svedala Industries, Inc. (43 Leech Road, Greenville, PA 16125) in Hempfield Township, Mercer County. Hodge's facility is primarily used for the production of gray and ductile iron products. The facility's air emission sources include material handling equipment, melt and holding furnaces, pouring, cooling, shakeout, surface coating operations and miscellaneous natural gas fired furnaces. The facility is a major facility due to its potential to emit Volatile Organic Compounds from the molding binders and surface coating operations.
42-00158: Temple Inland Forest Products Corp. [Formerly Allegheny Particleboard, L.P.] (Hutchins Road, Mt. Jewett, PA 16740) in Sergeant Township, McKean County. The facility's major emission sources include reduction of green wood material, drying, material transport, blending, reforming, pressing, cooling, sanding and cutting. The reconstituted wood products are manufactured with the urea-formaldehyde or melamine resin processes. The facility is a major facility due to its potential to emit of Nitrogen Oxides and Volatile Organic Compounds.
Proposed Revisions to Title V/State Only Operating Permits to include conditions relating to NOx allowance requirements in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to revise existing Operating Permits to include revised allocations under the provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120 (relating to NOx allowance requirements). These regulations establish a NOx budget and a NOx allowance trading program for NOx affected sources for the purpose of achieving the health-based ozone ambient air quality standard. A NOx affected source is defined as a fossil fuel fired indirect heat exchange combustion unit with a maximum rated heat input capacity of 250 MMBtu/hour or more and all fossil fuel fired electric generating facilities rated at 15 megawatts or greater or any other source that voluntarily opts to become a NOx affected source.
The operating permits require the owner or operator of each NOx affected source to hold a quantity of NOx allowances meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.110(a) by December 31, of each calendar year. One NOx Allowance is the limited authorization to emit 1 ton of NOx during the NOx Allowance Control Period, which begins May 1 of each year and ends September 30 of the same year. The NOx allowances held in the source's current year NOx Allowance Tracking System (NATS) account must be equal to or greater than the total NOx emitted from the source during the year's NOx allowance control period. The initial NOx allowance control period began on May 1, 1999.
The operating permits also include emission monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for each NOx affected source. NOx emissions from each NOx affected source shall be monitored in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 123.108 and the procedures contained in the document titled ''Guidance for Implementation of Emission Monitoring Requirements for the NOx Budget Program.''
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed revised operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed permits. Any comments or protests filed at the following address must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation, where the facility is located, at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
