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.
PLAN APPROVALS
Plan Approval Applications Received under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B that may have special public interest. These applications are in review and no decision on disposition has been reached.

Intent to Issue Plan Approvals and Intent to Issue or Amend Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B. These actions may include the administrative amendments of an associated operating permit.
Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, Sachin Shankar, New Source Review Chief, (484) 250-5920.
09-0173: P & R Industries, Inc. (3826 Old Easton Road, Doylestown, PA 18901) for modification of an existing paint spray booth to exhaust to an existing afterburner at their Arbonite facility in Buckingham Township, Bucks County. The facility is a non-Title V facility.
The modification is being performed to reduce the overall weight of VOCs emitted into the outdoor atmosphere from the usage of a noncompliant coating to below the applicable standard specified in 25 Pa. Code § 129.52, Table I. The VOC emissions from usage of the noncompliant coating figure to be approximately 300 lbs/yr. The plan approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
09-0204: Biofuel Advanced Research and Development, LLC (Sinter Road, Fairless Hills, PA 19030) for installation and operation of a biodiesel processing plant in Falls Township, Bucks County. BARD is in the business of producing biodiesel as an alternative fuel. A chemical process is employed to extract oil from soybeans and process the soybean oil for production as biodiesel. The pollutants of concern from the proposed operation include PM, hexane and methanol emissions. These emissions will have the potential to exceed Title V thresholds, however, the facility will utilize air pollution control devices to maintain emissions below major levels. The Plan Approval will contain recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within the allowable emissions and all applicable air quality requirements.
Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, Ray Kempa, New Source Review Chief, (570) 826-2531.
48-309-130: Hercules Cement Co. (501 Hercules Drive, P. O. Box 69, Stockertown, PA 18083) for installation of a selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) system for the No. 1 cement kiln at their Stockertown Plant in Stockertown Borough, Northampton County. The facility currently has a Title V Operating Permit No. 48-00005. 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.
Plan Approval No. 48-309-130 is for the installation of a SNCR system for the No. 1 cement kiln. The plan approval also includes the SNCR system previously installed on the No. 3 cement kiln that was approved through a Request for Determination several years ago. The SNCR system for each kiln will be used to trim NOx emissions from the kiln. Since both kilns exhaust their emissions from a common fabric collector through a single stack, total NOx emissions are limited to 492 lbs/hr (30-day rolling average) and an annual limit of 2,155 tpy. Both emission limits remain unchanged from the current Title V operating permit.
The Plan Approval will include emission restrictions and testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. The company will be required to continue to operate and maintain a Continuous Emission Monitoring System, which is certified by the Department, for NOx.
