OPERATING PERMITS
Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, Janine Tulloch-Reid, Facilities Permitting Chief, (484) 250-5920.
46-00035: SmithKline Beecham Corp.--d/b/a Glaxo SmithKline (709 Swedeland Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County. The facility is primarily involved in pharmaceutical research and development. SmithKline Beecham Corp., d/b/a Glaxo SmithKline operates boilers, generators, incinerators and other lab equipment. The renewal incorporates plan approval 46-0035D for the installation of a scrubber system and fabric filter. The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting. The operation is subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64 and NSPS regulations.
46-00038: Exelon Generation Company--Limerick Generation Station (3146 Sanatoga Road, Pottstown, PA 19464) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in Limerick Township, Montgomery County. The initial permit was issued on February 8, 2000. The facility is primarily used for electric power generation and operates three boilers and eight emergency generators, which mainly produce NOx, SOx and PM emissions. The facility also operates two cooling towers and an emergency spray pond, which mainly produce PM emissions. As a result of potential emissions of NOx emissions, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Renewal does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting.
Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, Ray Kempa, New Source Review Chief, (570) 826-2531.

The facility's major source of emissions is attributed to the operation of paint spray booths, which primarily emit VOCs. The Title V operating permit will contain monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. This is a renewal of the Title V Operating Permit issued in 2003.
Intent to Issue Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter F.

44-05017: Overhead Door Corp. (23 Industrial Park Road, P. O. Box 110, Lewistown, PA 17044) for operation of a sectional and rolling steel door manufacturing facility in Granville Township, Mifflin County. The operating permit is not being renewed as a Title V operating permit, but rather a State-only operating permit since the permittee is no longer a major source of VOCs and HAPs emissions.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
47-00010: Kurt Weiss Danville, LLC, (223 PPL Road, Danville, PA 17821) for the renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a greenhouse facility in Anthony and Derry Townships, Montour County.
The facility incorporates nine No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers (with rated heat inputs of 13.86, 13.86, 2.888, 2.888, 7.201, 6.276, 10.758, 4.18 and 5.675 mmBtu/hr, respectively) and 160 No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters, each of which has a rated heat input of .4 mmBtu/hr.
The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 21.6 tons of SOx, 15.0 tons of NOx, 4.65 tons of PM/PM10, 3.75 tons of CO, .15 ton of VOCs and .05 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 47-00010. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 47-00010 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of monthly inspections of the facility to detect the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of the results of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at the facility do not emit fugitive air contaminants and are unlikely to emit visible air contaminants or malodorous air contaminants except under equipment malfunction conditions which would be likely to be detected, and corrected, long before the once per month inspection would be performed.
2. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been changed to exempt malfunctions which are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation or are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, noncompliance with a permit condition.
3. Conditions requiring the permittee to perform an annual tune-up on most of the facility's boilers, and maintain records of these tune-ups, have been removed from the permit as such requirements are overly burdensome for No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers of the size of the facility's boilers.
4. Conditions requiring most of the facility's boilers to be operated at least 5 hours each year at a minimum of 75% of maximum operating capacity, and the maintenance of records of the hours of operation and the % capacity for each boiler, are being removed from the permit as the Department has determined that it does not have the authority to establish such requirements.
5. 160 No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters, which exist at the facility but which were not previously incorporated in the permit, have been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 SOx emission limitation and restricting the fuel fired in the space heaters to No. 2 fuel oil and gas (natural or LP).
Southwest Region: Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, Barbara Hatch, Facilities Permitting Chief, (412) 442-4174.
11-00516: Fiberblade, LLC (100 Commerce Drive, Ebensburg, PA 15931) to allow the operation of a windmill blade manufacturing facility located in Cambia Township, Cambria County. The facility is a synthetic minor facility. The operating permit will contain general and special conditions developed under Plan Approval number 11-00516A which require that applicant to meet all applicable regulatory requirements and limit the potential to emit from the facility on an annual basis to be less than the major source thresholds for NOx at 99.0 tons, VOC at 49.0 tons, single HAP 9.0 tons and aggregate HAP 24.0 tons. The potential to emit of all other pollutants (CO, SOx, PM10, PM) will be less than the major source thresholds.
Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Matthew Williams, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
42-00095: Georgia Pacific Corp. (One Owens Way, Bradford, PA 16701) for re-issuance of a natural minor permit to operate a corrugated and solid fiber boxes manufacturing plant in the City of Bradford, McKean County. The major sources included: 1) Boiler (350 HP), uses dual fuel, natural gas and fuel oil No. 6; 2) Boiler (500 HP), uses dual fuel, natural gas and fuel oil No. 6; 3) Miscellaneous process equipment; 4) Outdoor starch silo; 5) Metal parts washer; and 6) Miscellaneous VOC (printing and gluing). The facility is natural minor because the emission of pollutants from the facility is less than the Title V emission threshold.
