   The conveyors will be a source of PM and PM10 emissions. The new sources will emit up to 0.59 ton of PM and 0.19 ton of PM10 in any 12 consecutive month period (CMP). The facility will emit less than 100 tons of PM/PM10 in any 12 CMP. The facility will have the potential to emit less than 100 tons of SOx, NOx, CO, 50 tons of VOCs, 10 tons of any individual hazardous air pollutant (HAP), and less than 25 tons of combined HAPs in any 12 CMP. The facility will be considered as a natural minor facility.

   The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by National Limestone Quarry, Inc. indicates that the new sources will comply with all Air Quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the construction of 14 conveyors and installation of a water spray dust suppression system associated with the conveyors.

   The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

   1.  Under the best available technology provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, an operable water truck equipped with a pressurized water spray mechanism shall be kept onsite and filled with water at all times (except when refilling the truck) that the conveyors are in operation. This water truck shall be used, as needed, for the prevention and control of fugitive air contaminant emissions from plant roadways, and the like.

   2.  All conditions contained in State-only operating permit NMOP 55-00010 and Plan Approval No. 55-310-002A remain in effect unless superseded or amended by conditions contained in this plan approval. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in this plan approval and a condition contained in State Only operating permit NMOP 55-00010 or Plan Approval No. 55-310-002A, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained in this plan approval.

   3.  Under the best available technology provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, if at any time it is determined that the operation of any conveyor is resulting in the emission of air contaminants in excess of any applicable limitations specified in 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the company shall immediately install additional water spray dust suppression nozzles and/or take such other control measures as are necessary to reduce the air contaminant emissions to within the applicable limitations.

   4.  Under the best available technology provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the particulate matter emissions from the conveyors shall be controlled by a water spray dust suppression system that shall, at a minimum, incorporate the following spray nozzles:

   (a)  Three nozzles at the discharge of the 30" by 100` Melot conveyor (No. 65),

   (b)  Two nozzles at the discharge of the 24" by 80` LB Smith conveyor (No. 66),

   (c)  Two nozzles at the discharge of the 30" by 100` Melot radial stacker (No. 70),

   (d)  Two nozzles at the discharge of the 36" by 90` Melot conveyor (No. 74),

   (e)  Three nozzles at the discharge of the 36" by 103` LB Smith radial stacker (No. 75).

   More spray nozzles may be added without the necessity of obtaining Department plan approval, but none of those identified herein may be deleted or removed without prior Department approval. In addition, each spray nozzle shall be equipped with a filter/strainer.

   5.  Under the best available technology provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the water spray dust suppression system associated with the conveyors shall be connected to an on-demand water source capable of delivering an adequate supply of water at anytime the conveyors are in operation. On-demand shall be interpreted as meaning that adequate water can be provided to all spray nozzles at anytime with no more effort than turning a valve. The water spray dust suppression system associated with the conveyors shall be operated on any and all occasions that the conveyors are operated, except in those unusual instances where conditions are such that operation of the conveyors without the simultaneous operation of the water spray dust suppression system can take place without creating air contaminant emissions in excess of the limitations specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2. If, however, the water spray dust suppression system associated with the conveyors is incapable of operation due to weather conditions or any other reason, the conveyors may not be operated at all.

   62-017K: United Refining Co. (15 Bradley Street Warren, PA 16335-3481) for modification of the Distillate Hydrotreater 2 (DHT2), the Reformer unit and increase sulfur recovery in the City of Warren, Warren County.

   Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval for their plant in the City of Warren, Warren County. This plan approval will authorize the applicant to modify the DHT2, the Reformer unit and increase sulfur recovery. These units will be modified to meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel requirements of 40 CFR Part 80. The current sulfur content of the diesel produced by United is in the range of 390-500 ppm. By June 2006, United is required to reduce the average to 15 ppm. This will be accomplished with a change of the catalyst in DHT2 and the existing reformer unit will be utilized to create more hydrogen in a process known as reduced pressure reforming. These changes will be accomplished by June 1, 2006. The new DHT2 catalyst will consume more hydrogen and will allow for more aggressive sulfur removal that will be processed through SRU2. The result will be a reduction of sulfur in on-road diesel. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the company's Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

   Based on the information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis, the project will increase NOx, CO, PM10 and SOx emissions by 39.8 TPY, 31.6 TPY, 12.7 TPY, 10.9 TPY and 36.3 TPY, respectively. The increases are less than the significant emission thresholds. The permit will incorporate monitoring requirements for the fuel and analysis of the heat content to ensure compliance with the emission limits. In addition, the facility will be required to keep records of the fuel and emission rates. The permit also incorporates the Federal MACT requirements for the heaters as well as the reformer and the sulfur recovery unit (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts DDDDD and UUU, respectively). The permit will also incorporate conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements as well as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

   Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation are available for public inspection between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at the Air Quality Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
