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.

PA 58-329-002: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. (1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002) for construction and operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine at their facility in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Plan Approval No. 58-329-002 to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, for their facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. The facility currently has Title V Permit No. 58-00001. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval No. 58-329-002 is for construction and operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine at their facility. Currently the company operates primarily three natural gas fired Solar Centaur recuperative turbines each rated at 3,333 hp at Station 321 under Title V operating permit No. 58-00001 in Clifford Township. These three combustion turbines used to move gas through the pipeline system. Natural gas used as a fuel for the turbines. The company has submitted this application to replace existing turbine Source ID 103 with a newer more efficient turbine. This project does not impact emissions from other sources at the site.
The proposed source is subject to the various State and Federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements.
A review of the information submitted by the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable State and Federal NSPS air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions increases from maximum operation of the turbine according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Tons Per Year NOx 7.36 VOCs 6.84 SO2 0.67 CO 25.13 Total PM 1.15 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place conditions in the plan approval.
The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the following:

60-00014: Evangelical Community Hospital (1 Hospital Drive, Lewisburg, PA 17837) for renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a hospital facility in Kelly Township, Union County.
The facility consists of two 12.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers, a 9.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, a .145 mmBtu/hr No. 2 fuel oil-fired furnace, a 5.95 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired absorption chiller, four No. 2 fuel oil-fired emergency generators (390 hp, 750 hp, 750 hp and 135 hp), a 368 hp No. 2 fuel oil-fired fire pump engine, a 1.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired engine-driven chiller, an ethylene oxide sterilizer and two aboveground No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks (20,000 gallon capacity and 2,000 gallon capacity).
The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 79.3 tons of SOx, 37.8 tons of NOx, 16.4 tons of CO, 5.0 tons of PM/PM2.5/PM10, 2.2 tons of VOCs and .8 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 60-00014. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 60-00014 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of weekly 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 these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at the facility are not likely to generate visible air contaminant, visible fugitive air contaminant and malodorous air contaminant emissions except under equipment malfunction conditions which would be likely to be detected, and corrected, long before the once per week 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. An 8.4 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler has been removed from the permit as it no longer exists at the facility and a 9.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler has been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.11 PM emission limitation and 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 SOx emission limitation as well as a condition limiting the fuels used in the respective boiler to natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil.
4. A condition containing an erroneously-stated CO emission limitation for the facility's two 12.55 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers has been corrected.
5. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the calculations used to verify compliance with the NOx and CO emission limitations for the facility's two 12.55 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers and the PM and SOx emission limitations for the facility's emergency generators have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to demonstrate compliance with the respective NOx, CO and PM emission limitations by means of calculations alone and compliance with the respective SOx emission limitation can be determined by monitoring the sulfur content of the No. 2 fuel oil used in the generators, the maintenance of records of which are required by a condition contained elsewhere in the permit.
6. A 135 hp No. 2 fuel oil-fired emergency generator has been added to the permit.
7. Conditions specifying erroneous PM and SOx emission limitations for one of the facility's two chillers, a 1.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired engine-driven chiller, have been corrected.
8. Conditions prohibiting the storage of any VOC-containing liquid with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia in the facility's 20,000 gallon capacity and 2,000 gallon capacity aboveground No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks and requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the liquids stored in the tanks have been removed from the permit and replaced with conditions prohibiting the storage of anything other than No. 2 fuel oil in the respective tanks and requiring the maintenance of records of the identity of the materials stored in the tanks.
9. Conditions requiring the submission of semi-annual reports of the number of hours each emergency generator and the fire pump engine are operated each month are being changed to require the submission of annual reports.
10. Conditions have been added to the permit specifying the applicable requirements contained in Subpart WWWWW of the National Emission Standards for HAPs, 40 CFR 63.10382--63.10448 (National Emission Standards for HAPs for Hospital Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers) for the facility's ethylene oxide sterilizer.
