[36 Pa.B. 1758]
[Continued from previous Web Page] A plan approval application (No. 53-00001B) has been submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for the construction and operation of a natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engine, rated at 3,785 brake-horsepower (Source ID P114) equipped with low NOx electronic control system to control NOx emissions and installation of an oxidation catalyst (ID C114) to control the CO, VOC and formaldehyde emissions from the engine at their Coudersport facility (Station 313) located in Hebron Township, Potter County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit 53-00001 has been issued.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company indicates that the engine with an oxidation catalyst will meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The proposed source is subject to the requirements of Subpart ZZZZ of the National Emission Standards for HAPs for Source Categories, 40 CFR 63.6580--63.6675 and will meet all applicable requirements of this Subpart. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the construction of the natural gas-fired engine with the installation of an oxidation catalyst. Additionally, if the Department determines that the proposed source and the air cleaning device are operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V operating permit No. 53-00001 via an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

17-00051A: New Enterprise Stone and Lime Co., Inc. (P. O. Box 77, New Enterprise, PA 16664) for installation of a fabric collector to control PM emissions from the asphalt plant at their Clearfield Asphalt facility in Lawrence Township, Clearfield County. The facility is a synthetic minor facility.
The proposed fabric collector is a replacement for the existing fabric collector to control PM emissions from the asphalt plant (Source ID P101 in State-only operating permit SMOP 17-00051). The potential PM emissions from the proposed fabric collector associated with the asphalt plant will be 5.3 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (CMP). No other emission increases will result from the installation of the proposed fabric collector.
