55-399-007A: Kerrico Corp. (R. R. 1, Box 131H, Selinsgrove, PA 17870) for modification of a cast polymer bathroom and kitchen countertop manufacturing operation in Penn Township, Snyder County.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for HAPs but a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The respective modifications consist of using methylene chloride, a HAP which Kerrico is currently not permitted to use, for certain select cleaning operations and increasing the amount of acetone used for cleaning purposes. Kerrico has also requested approval to use pigmented gelcoats in addition to the clear gelcoats and white/off-white gelcoats which were previously approved by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). The use of methylene chloride is expected to result in an increase of up to 1.43 tons per year in the amount of HAPs emitted by the facility. The increase in acetone usage is expected to result in an increase of up to 5.0 tons per year in the amount of acetone emitted by the facility. The use of pigmented gelcoats in addition to clear gelcoats and white/off-white gelcoats is not expected to result in an increase in the emission of any air contaminant.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Kerrico Corporation indicates that the use of methylene chloride for certain select cleaning operations, the increased usage of acetone and the use of pigmented gelcoats should comply with all applicable regulatory 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 and the requirements of Subpart WWWW of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.5780--63.5935 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Reinforced Plastic Composites Production). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modifications.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Conditions contained in Plan Approval 55-399-007 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by a condition contained herein. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in Plan Approval 55-399-007 and a condition contained herein, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained herein rather than the conflicting condition contained in Plan Approval 55-399-007.
2. Pigmented gelcoats applied in this facility shall be applied in conformance with all conditions contained in Plan Approval 55-399-007 which have applicability to gelcoats except as specified herein.
3. ''Clear gelcoats,'' ''white/off-white gelcoats'' and ''pigmented gelcoats'' (as those terms are defined in Subpart WWWW) are the only gelcoats that shall be applied at this facility.

10-001J: AK Steel Corporation (Route 8 South, Butler, PA 16003-0832) for modification to an existing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) in Meadville, Clarion County.
Notice is hereby given under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44, 127.521 and 40 CFR 52.21 (1)(2), that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for AK Steel Corporation to modify existing EAF sources at AK Steel Corporation. This modification will allow the three EAFs to increase production from 1.2 million tons to 1.31 million tons of steel per year.
AK Steel has filed an application with the Department (230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335) to modify three EAFs. The project includes installation of combination side-wall burners/lances on all three EAFs. These burners, which are produced by a variety of manufacturers, are capable of firing a mixture of gas/oxygen, pure oxygen or inert gas from either traditional burner ports or as a supersonic coherent jet. The side-wall burners will use natural gas during the initial melting phase. The lances will inject carbon and oxygen during the melting and refining stages of the steel making process.
Applicable requirements for the proposed application include the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations (40 CFR 52.21). This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis, the proposed modifications to the EAFs would emit: NOx 351.4 tpy; CO 3484.7 tpy; VOCs 39.2 tpy; SOx 66.5 tpy; PM less than 10µm, 165.7 tpy; and, Total Suspended Particulates, 165.7 tpy. Based on the information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis, the proposed modifications to the EAFs will have a net emission increase of: NOx 9.4 tpy; CO 2638.6 tpy; VOCs 23.6 tpy; SOx 34.5 tpy; PM less than 10 µm 9.2 tpy; and, Total Suspended Particulates 16.8 tpy.
According to 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (relating to Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves the substitute model. Use of the substitute model is subject to notice and an opportunity for public comment.
As an alternative to EPA Guideline Models, ISC-Prime was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed EAF project. Specific approval for the use of ISC-Prime in this analysis was granted by the EPA Region III Administration on October 18, 2005. Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44, 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice is hereby given that the Department is soliciting written comments on the use of the ISC-Prime, non-guideline model.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as required by the PSD regulations. The facility will only trigger PSD for CO. The preliminary analysis results for CO indicate 11,429 µ/m3 for a 1-hour averaging period and 8,000 µg/m3 for an 8-hour averaging period. The Class II Area Significance Level is 2000 µg/m3 for a 1-hour averaging period and 500 µg/m3 for an 8-hour averaging period.
The results of the NAAQS analysis for CO indicates a total value of 13,693 µg/m3 for a rural 1-hour averaging period and a total value of 9,963µg/m3 for a rural 8-hour averaging period. The NAAQS for a rural 1-hour averaging period is 40,000 µg/m3 and a rural 8-hour averaging period is 10,000 µg/m3.
No visibility impairment analysis was performed since CO is not associated with degradation in visibility. No significant impact on soils and vegetation is anticipated. There is no expected impact on air quality from residential, commercial, and industrial growth associated with the project. There is no consumption of increment, because there is no increment for CO.
Sources subject to PSD regulations must meet certain conditions prior to the issuance of a preconstruction/modification approval. These conditions are briefly described below. For exact text, please refer to the 40 CFR 52.21.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701.
49-00020B: Truck Accessories Group, Inc. d/b/a Leer East (3560 Housels Run Road, Milton, PA 17847) for construction of a mold maintenance area, a wet-out reinforcement area, a secondary lamination area, a base rail lamination area, a truck cap and tonneau cover headliner adhesive process, fiberglass reinforced plastic truck cap and tonneau cover assembly and final finish operations, an aluminum welding operation and an aluminum truck cap assembly, final finish and installation operation in an existing fiberglass reinforced plastic and aluminum truck cap manufacturing facility in Milton Borough, Northumberland County.
The respective facility is a major facility for both VOCs and volatile HAPs and one for which a Title V operating permit (49-00020) has been issued.
The operation of the proposed air contamination sources, all of which actually already exist onsite, will result in the emission of up to 34.883 tons of VOCs, 25.71 tons of volatile HAPs (most of which will be styrene), 1.284 tons of PM including PM10 and .62 ton of metallic HAPs), 4.8 tons of acetone and .49 ton of ammonia per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Truck Accessories Group, Inc. indicates that the proposed air contamination sources should 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, the New Source Review requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217, the Reasonably Available Control Technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 and Subpart WWWW of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.5780--63.5935 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed air contamination sources. Additionally, if the Department subsequently determines that the respective air contamination sources are being operated and maintained in accordance with the conditions of the plan approval as well as with all applicable regulatory requirements, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 49-00020 by means of administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:

No other volatile HAP-containing materials shall be used in these areas. No other VOC-containing materials shall be used in these areas other than ISP Technologies Shipshape-resin cleaner (or alternate material determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) and, in the base rail lamination area only, Xtend 19SAM with a VOC content no greater than 5.71 pounds per gallon (or alternate material determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential).
8. The total combined amount of neat resin used n the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area shall not exceed 158,199 gallons in any 12-consecutive month period, except as may be allowed by condition 46 herein, and the total combined VOC emissions shall not exceed 26.2 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (excluding those from the use of cleanup solvent).
9. The total combined volatile HAP emissions from the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area shall not exceed 24.31 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
10. The amount of Xtend 19SAM (or alternative material determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) used in the base rail lamination area shall not exceed 660 gallons in any 12-consecutive month period, except as may be allowed by condition 46 herein.
11. The volatile HAP emissions from the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area shall each not exceed 66.94 pounds per ton of neat resin (weighted average over 12-consecutive months). Records shall be maintained to demonstrate compliance with this limitation and this data is to be reported to the Department on a quarterly basis.
12. The total combined monthly neat resin usage in the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area may be determined by subtracting the amount of neat resin used in the primary lamination area each month from the total amount of neat resin used in the facility each month. Records shall be maintained of the maximum amount of filled resin delivered in a single pump stroke for the primary lamination area pump, the number of pump strokes occurring in the primary lamination area each month, the total amount of neat resin used in the entire facility each month, the volume percent of resin contained in the filled resin each month, the amount of filled resin used in the primary lamination area each month and the total combined amount of neat rein used in the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area each month.
13. Records shall be maintained of the identities, amounts, VOC contents, volatile HAP contents, styrene contents and methyl methacrylate contents of the neat resin and any other materials used in the wet-out reinforcement area, secondary lamination area and base rail lamination area each month as well as of the total VOC and total volatile HAP emissions from each of these areas and the weighted 12-consecutive month average combined styrene and methyl methacrylate content of the neat resin. This data shall be reported to the Department on a quarterly basis.
14. The VOC contents of the CASA 246-DB adhesive, Quick Clean No. 6 cleanup solvent and Dupont 99K black paint (or alternate materials determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) used in the truck cap and tonneau cover headliner adhesive process shall not exceed .57, 1.32, and 5.3 pounds per gallon, respectively.
