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 Services 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.

18-00024: Excel Homes, LLC (P. O. Box 420, Avis, PA 17721) for renewal of a State-only Operating Permit for operation of a modular home manufacturing facility in Pine Creek Township, Clinton County.
The facility incorporates various work stations/areas in which VOC-emitting materials (paints, adhesives, and the like) are used as well as woodworking operations, 68 natural gas-fired furnaces and space heaters (with a total combined heat input of 10.33 mmBtu/hr), three propane-fired space heaters (with a total combined heat input of .18 mmBtu/hr), two No. 2 fuel oil-fired furnaces (with a total combined heat input of .25 mmBtu/hr), 20 kerosene-fired salamander heaters (with a total combined heat input of 2.2 mmBtu/hr), an 85 horsepower diesel fuel-fired sprinkler system pump and a solvent parts washer.
The PM emissions from the facility's woodworking operations are controlled by two outside-exhausting fabric collectors/cartridge collectors and five inside-exhausting fabric collectors/cartridge collectors and the PM emissions from two paint spray booths are controlled by spray booth filters.
The facility is not expected to emit more than 22.29 tons of VOCs, 12.98 tons of PM/PM10, 9.25 tons of SOx, 5.93 tons of NOx and 4.22 tons of CO per year.
The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 18-00024. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 18-00024 with these additions, changes and exceptions:
1. Condition requiring a monthly inspection of the facility for the presence of excessive visible air contaminants, excessive visible fugitive air contaminants and malodorous air contaminants, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the facility does not incorporate the types of sources that are likely to produce these emissions.
2. Conditions requiring the permittee to obtain a fuel certification report, or perform a sulfur analysis, for each load of No. 2 fuel oil delivered to the facility, and to maintain records of this information, have been removed from the permit as the only sources that use No. 2 fuel oil in the facility are two extremely small furnaces with a total combined heat input of only .25 mmBtu/hr.
3. A condition limiting the sulfur content of the diesel fuel used in the facility to .5%, by weight, has been removed from the permit as there is no regulatory basis for this limitation.
4. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been revised to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
5. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the HAP content, density and VOC (minus water) content of the VOC-containing materials used at the facility are being removed from the permit as the respective information is not needed to determine compliance with any permit condition.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and semi-annual reporting, of ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable facility-wide VOC emission limit have been replaced with conditions requiring the maintenance, and annual reporting, of records of the identity, VOC content and amount of each VOC-containing material used at the facility each month as well as the amount of VOCs emitted from the facility each month.
7. Nebulous conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the VOC-containing materials used in the facility's two paint spray booths, paint area D and adhesive operations ''to verify compliance with the VOC content restrictions'' specified for the respective sources have been replaced with more specific conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the identity, VOC content and amount of each VOC-containing material used in each of the sources each month, as well as records of the component mix ratio for each batch of paint or adhesive to which an additive is added or which is mixed from multiple components.
8. A condition has been added to the permit requiring the maintenance of records of the identity, VOC content and amount of each VOC-containing material used in the facility's miscellaneous solvent usage operations each month as well as records of what each such VOC-containing material was used for.
9. A condition has been added to the permit requiring the maintenance of records of the identity, VOC content and amount of each VOC-containing material used in the facility's foamseal operations each month.
10. A condition requiring the pressure differential across the fabric collector associated with the facility's outside mill woodworking operations to be reported at least once per month has been removed from the permit as this is too infrequent to be of any value and the source isn't large enough to warrant the burden of more frequent reporting.
11. Conditions have been added to the permit requiring the maintenance of records of the amount of solvent added to the facility's parts washer each month and prohibiting the use, in the parts washer, of any solvent containing methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1,1 trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or any combination of these in excess of 5%, by weight.

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91--96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation-Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
