AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The 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 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 received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule appointments.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall 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 listed before the application. TDD users may 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 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.441, 127.425, and 127.521, the Department intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit and Phase II Acid Rain Permit for continued operation of a coal refuse-fired power plant, known as the Seward Generating Station, located in East Wheatfield Township, Indiana Fayette County.
The main sources at the facility are two (2) circulating fluidized bed (CFB) waste coal-fired boilers (Source IDs 034 and 035), with maximum fuel heat inputs of 2,532 MMBtu/hour, each, which power a single electrical generator. Net electrical output from the twin boiler system is 521-MW. Emissions from the CFB boilers are controlled by limestone fed into the fluidized bed, selective non-catalytic reduction systems (SNCR) and low combustion temperatures to control NOx emissions, flash dryer absorber (FDA), coarse particulate cyclone separation with reinjection into the bed, followed by pulsejet cleaned fabric filters to control PM emissions and further control SO2 emissions. Low grade virgin coal is also burned in the boilers as necessary, and No. 2 fuel oil is combusted during startup and emergencies. Collection of SO2 and acid gases, including hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, by calcium in the limestone takes place in the boiler, FDA, cyclone, and fabric filter. Supporting equipment at the site includes one 600-bhp emergency diesel generator engine, one 685-bhp emergency diesel firepump engine, one 600-bhp emergency diesel boiler feedwater engine, one 265-bhp emergency diesel firewater pump engine, two diesel air compressor engines (440-bhp & 300-bhp), a 100,000 gas fuel oil storage tank, coal handling and conveying equipment including a fuel barn, four, fuel oil-fired limestone dryers, with a total heat input capacity of 68 MMBtu per hour, and plant roads. The facility is limited to a maximum opacity from any processing equipment of 20 percent. This facility has the potential to emit the following type and quantity of pollutants: 312 tons per year of PM10, 3,361 tons per year of NOx, 3,346 tons per year of CO, 113 tons per year of VOC, 13,385 tons per year of SO2, 144 tons per year of ammonia, 0.15 tons per year of lead, 0.28 pounds per year of mercury, and 5,417,000 tons of CO2e greenhouse gases. No equipment or emission changes are being approved by this action. The facility is subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart Da—Standards of Performance for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, Subpart Y—Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants, Subpart OOO—Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants, Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, and 40 CFR, Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines and Subpart UUUUU—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Steam Utility Steam Generating Units, as well as 40 CFR 64—Compliance Assurance Monitoring, and state requirements. The permit includes emission limitations and operational, monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the facility.
Those who wish to provide the Department with additional written information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this Major Source Operating Permit may submit the information to Martin L. Hochhauser, P.E., Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Operating Permit (specify Operating Permit OP-32-00040) and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the Operating Permit.
