Final Technical Guidance—Substantive Revision

 DEP ID: 270-0810-006. Title: Guidance for Performing Single Stationary Source Determinations for the Oil and Gas Industry. Description: The Department announces the availability of its final technical guidance for performing single source determinations for the oil and gas industries. This guidance will assist the Department's air program permitting staff in making single source determinations for the oil and gas industries.

 There are significant natural gas exploration and extraction activities occurring in the Commonwealth within the Marcellus Shale formation and other formations. Single source determinations arise when stationary air contamination sources belong to the same industrial grouping, are located on one or more contiguous or adjacent properties and are under the control of the same person. These determinations will be made in this Commonwealth on a fact specific and case by case basis, applying the applicable regulatory criteria. This final guidance applies to case by case analyses conducted by the Department's air program permitting staff when determining whether stationary sources should be considered a single source for permitting requirements applicable to programs including the Prevention of Significant Deterioration, Nonattainment New Source Review and the Title V permitting programs. Copies of this technical guidance document and the comment and response document are available on the Department's public participation web site at www.depweb.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: Participate) and on the Bureau of Air Quality's web site at: http://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/View/Collection-8629.

 Contact: Krishnan Ramamurthy, Chief of the Division of Permits, Bureau of Air Quality at Division of Permits, Bureau of Air Quality, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, kramamurth@pa.gov or (717) 787-4325.

 Effective Date: October 6, 2012

Draft Technical Guidance—Substantive Revision

 DEP ID: 383-2127-103. Title: Permitting of Bulk Water Hauling Systems Guidance. Description: This guidance document establishes procedures that the Department staff will follow in the implementation of permitting activities for bulk water hauling systems. Recognizing that the number of bulk water hauling customers is more likely to vary from year to year than those served by a piped system, discretion in maintaining a bulk water hauling permit is provided to account for systems that may periodically drop below the required number of connections or people served.
