23-00040: Laurel Pipeline Co., L. P. (3398 Garnet Mine Road, Bethel Township, PA 19061) for an administrative amendment to the Title V Operating Permit at their Boothwyn Breakout Station in Bethel Township, Delaware County. The facility operates as a refined petroleum products transportation pipeline. The permit is being amended to incorporate changes approved under Plan Approval PA-23-0040A for storage tanks nos. 18 and 19. Plan Approval PA-23-0040A was issued to the facility for the modification of Operating Permit 23-312-054C to include VOC emissions associated with landing losses in floating-roof tanks. The revised Title V operating permit will contain additional monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice standards to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
The conditions that have been addressed in the amended Title V Permit as follows:
Section D, Source Level Requirements, Sources 118 and 119--Establish a total VOC emission limit of 17.5 tons per year (tpy) as a 12-month rolling sum, calculated monthly. This emission limit includes 13.48 tpy as roof landing losses. The roof landing losses are not considered a net emission increase from the facility
* Section D, Source Level Requirements, Sources 118 and 119, Condition No. 003.
* Omitted the Throughput Restrictions condition for these sources:
* Section D, Source Level Requirements, Section III. Sources 118 and 119--Monitor and record the following on a monthly basis:
(1) The throughput from the tank, in gallons.
(2) The type and vapor pressure of the product stored and throughput.
(3) The total VOC emissions, calculated on a monthly basis.
Administrative amendment of the Title V Operating Permit issued under the Air Pollution Control Act and 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

33-00055: Glen-Gery Corp. (Route 28, Summerville, PA 15864) for the reissuance of a Title V permit to operate a brick and tile manufacturing facility in Summerville Borough, Jefferson County. The facility's major emission sources include raw material stockpiles, primary crushers for shale and clay, hammermill for shale, grinding and screening operation with storage, transportation fugitives and miscellaneous natural gas usage. The facility is a major facility due to its potential to emit PM10, SOx, NOx and CO. The facility is also currently operating under a plan approval for the modification of several brick kilns at the facility. This permit will be administratively amended at a later date to incorporate the kilns and all applicable requirements that apply to the kilns.
