PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONSThe 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.
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.

58-329-037: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, for construction and operation of a natural gas fired simple cycle combustion turbine for 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 (DEP) intends to issue Plan Approval No. 58-329-037 to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, for their facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. The facility currently is minor facility operating under Permit No. 58-00001. This plan approval will be incorporated into the 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. 58-329-037 is for the construction and operation of a natural gas fired simple cycle combustion turbine at the facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. This combustion turbine will be used to move gas through the pipeline system. The proposed new turbine will be manufactured by Solar having model no. Taurus 70 capable of producing maximum output of 9,565 horsepower at ISO conditions (sea level elevation, 60% humidity, and 59 degrees F) with a corresponding heat input rating of 99.2 MMBtu/hr (at 1,050 Btu/Scf HHV natural gas). This turbine is a simple cycle gas combustion turbine and will utilize natural gas as a fuel.
The company has proposed to use Solar's lean-premixed dry low emissions system (SoLoNOx) to provide the lowest NOx emissions possible during normal operating conditions as a best available technology (BAT). The combustion and fuel systems are designed to reduce NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons to attain NOx emission level of 15 PPM and CO emission level of 25 PPM, corrected to 15% oxygen, and hydrocarbon at 25 PPM when burning natural gas. The company will operate the turbine for 8,760 hours annually.
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, DEP plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the turbine according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Total Project
(TPY)
NOx 20.45 CO 27.81 VOC 11.85 SO2 1.19 PM/PM10 2.31 Formaldehyde 0.5 Total HAPs 0.56 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, DEP 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, DEP'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 18701.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times.
In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
* The parameter is applicable at all times.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are 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 (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit 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 § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and 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. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

E17-470. Lawrence Township, PO Box 508, Clearfield, PA 16803. Mon 40, 41, and 42 Abandoned Mine Drainage Passive Treatment System and Reclamation Project, Lawrence Township, Clearfield County, ACOE Baltimore District (Clearfield, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 41° 1` 16"; Longitude: 78° 29` 24").
The applicant proposes to treat Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) from three seeps (Mon 40, 41, and 42) that are tributary to Montgomery Creek (Cold Water and Migratory Fishery). Montgomery Creek in this location is impaired due to low pH and high metals. As proposed, the system will collect the flows from the seeps in a mixing/equalization basin prior to flowing through a limestone channel. The water will then be treated in a sulfate reducing bioreactor, a settling basin, a horizontal flow limestone cell, and a final settling basin before being discharged to a mitigation wetland. The system will have a design flow of 125 gallons per minute and is designed to remove 280 lbs/day of acidity, 1 lb. /day of iron, and 55 lbs/day of aluminum. The metals removed will be retained in the settling ponds and treated water should be able to support an aquatic community. The project is anticipated to result in downstream water quality improvements by reducing acidity, iron, and aluminum loadings. The project, as it stands, will result in 1.93 acres of wetlands to be permanently impacted during the construction of the system. Mitigation proposed includes onsite wetland creation and restoration totaling 0.13 acre. The total impact to the AMD channels is estimated to be 2,677 linear feet. Mitigation for the stream channel impact is improved water quality downstream of the treatment system. There will be approximately 9.54 acres of total earth disturbance. Reclamation of an un-reclaimed highwall will take place upgradient of the Mon 40 discharge. Excess material from the construction of the treatment system will be used in the reclamation area resulting in a balance of cut and fill.
