AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department regional offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan approval or operating 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 at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

The company will operate the facility and maintain the systems in accordance with the good engineering practices to assure proper operation of the equipment. The Plan Approval and resulting operating permit will contain recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
48-309-124: Keystone Cement Co. (Route 329, P. O. Box A, Bath, PA 18014) for modification of their cement manufacturing operations and associated air cleaning devices in East Allen Township, Northampton County.
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Keystone Cement Co. (Permittee), Route 329, P. O. Box A, Bath, PA 18014, East Allen Township, Northampton County for the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at the Bath facility as described in the Permittee's January 31, 2005, Plan Approval Application and subsequent supplemental submissions.
The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at Keystone's Bath facility to satisfy four conditions before approval to modify and operation may granted by the Department. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by best available control technology. Second, PM10, NOx and SO air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable short-term and long-term air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause violation of either the National primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation and visibility in the vicinity of the proposed plant site.
A review of the information submitted by Keystone Cement Company indicates that the modification and operation of the Bath facility will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four previously stated. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modifications of the Bath facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the modified and affected units at the facility according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis.
Pollutant Emission limit Tons/year PM10 515.9 PM 276.9 SO2 2363.4 NOx 1,724.6 CO 2,235.6 VOC 47.9 Lead 0.64 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NOx, SO2, PM10, VOC and lead emissions from the proposed modification will not increase at a significant rate as these emissions are netted out by the emissions decrease from the proposed shut down of two existing cement kilns and other associated emissions units at the Bath facility. The only pollutant that will experience a PSD significant net emissions increase is CO. Therefore air quality dispersion modeling was performed and demonstrated that the proposed net emissions increase in CO will not have a significant impact. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved Industrial Source Complex Short-Term 3 (ISCST3 Version 02035) air dispersion model was used in the analysis.
The proposed new kiln at the Bath facility will continue to use fossil fuels and other Department approved alternative fuels including waste derived fuels. The facility will continue to be limited to firing waste derived fuels at the same levels currently permitted for the existing kilns that will be taken out of operation when the new kiln becomes fully operational.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.

The issuance of this plan approval shall not be construed to limit the Department's enforcement authority.
#003 (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b)
This plan approval authorizes temporary operation of the sources covered by this plan approval provided the following conditions are met.
(a) When construction, installation, modification or reactivation is being conducted, the permittee should provide written notice to the Department of the completion of the activity approved by this plan approval and the permittee's intent to commence operation at least 5 working days prior to the completion of said activity. The notice shall state when the activity will be completed and when the permittee expects to commence operation. When the activity involves multiple sources on different time schedules, notice is required for the commencement of operation of each source.
(b) Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b(d), temporary operation of the sources is authorized to facilitate the shakedown of sources and air cleaning devices, to permit operations pending the issuance of a permit under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F and G (relating to operating permits; and Title V operating permits) or to permit the evaluation of the air contaminant aspects of the source.
(c) This plan approval authorizes a temporary operation period not to exceed 180 days from the date of commencement of operation, provided the Department receives notice from the permittee under paragraph (a)
(d) The permittee may request an extension of the 180-day shakedown period if further evaluation of the air contamination aspects of the sources is necessary. The request for an extension should be submitted, in writing, to the Department at least 15 days prior to the end of the initial 180-day shakedown period and shall provide a description of the compliance status of the source, a detailed schedule for establishing compliance, and the reasons compliance has not been established. This temporary operation period will be valid for a limited time and may be extended for additional limited periods, each not to exceed 120 days.
