AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING
PERMIT APPLICATIONSThe 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—-7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.
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.

Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Contact: James Beach, New Source Review Chief, (484) 250-5920.
46-0008A: Coopers Creek Chemical Corporation (884 River Road, West Conshohocken, PA 19428) for the addition of equipment that will add flexibility to produce a product called high melt-point pitch at their non-Title V facility, located in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County. The facility brings in crude bituminous, crude coal tar, and crude petroleum tar as feedstock and distills it into coal tar distillate and refined coal tar pitch. Coopers Creek Chemical Corporation proposes to produce high melt-point pitch as a new product. To make the new product, Coopers Creek Chemical Corporation will be installing the following equipment: Still # 18, Still # 19, Still # 19 Condenser, Lower Receiver 5, Lower Receiver 6, and Plant Boiler 2. To avoid being a major facility for NOx, the facility is taking a restriction on the total heat input of all combustion sources at the facility. Total potential emissions from the facility are: 10.82 TPY for NOx, 23.13 TPY for VOC, 6.08 TPY for CO, 3.25 TPY for SOx, 1.63 TPY for PM, 13.96 TPY for Total HAP, and 11,221 TPY for CO2e. The Plan Approval will contain monitoring, recordkeeping, and operating conditions designed to keep the facility operating within the allowable emissions and all applicable air quality requirements.
15-0041E: Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company—Daleville Compressor Station (604 Street Rd., Cochranville, PA 19330) to revise a testing requirement condition requiring compliance with the proposed minimum destruction efficiency for CO, VOC and HCHO for the existing natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engine for a natural gas compressor at their facility in Londonderry Township, Chester County. The facility is a State-Only, Synthetic Minor facility. The existing permit limits the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the facility to less than or equal to 24.9 tons per year on a 12-month rolling sum basis. The provisions of this plan approval will subsequently be incorporated into a State Only Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450. The Plan Approval will contain recordkeeping requirements and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Contact: Thomas Hanlon, Facilities Permitting Chief, (717) 705-4862, Thomas Bianca, New Source Review Chief, (717) 705-4863, or William Weaver, Regional Air Quality Manager, (717) 705-4702.
36-05014K: Arconic Lancaster Corp. (1480 Manheim Pike, Lancaster, PA 17604-3167) for the replacement of the burners in two melting furnaces at their secondary aluminum production facility in Manheim Township, Lancaster County. Specifically, the project is for the replacement of the current burners in melting furnaces No. 5 & 6 (Source IDs 133 & 134) with new 40 MMBtu/hr natural gas fired regenerative burners. The actual melt rate of each furnace is expected to increase from 22,500 pounds per hour to 32,000 pounds per hour. Along with the increase in melt production, actual material throughputs of Source IDs C01A, C01B and 107 are also expected to increase, although no physical modification will take place to the emission units. The capacities of downstream operations (i.e. rolling operations) will not increase due to the project since the increased ingot production will replace ingot that has been historically purchased. Since this modification and the modification authorized under PA 36-05014J (replacement of No. 7 & 8 melting furnace burners) are considered the same project, the emissions from both will be aggregated for PSD/NNSR applicability purposes. As such, emission increases due to the project are estimated to be: 23.5 tpy CO, 20.3 tpy NOx, 1.9 tpy PM, 4.8 tpy PM10, 4.5 tpy PM2.5, 0.3 tpy SOx, & 3.0 tpy VOC. DEP's review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the air contamination sources as constructed or modified will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If, after the project has been implemented, the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for plan approval, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into an operating permit pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

SR 0339, Section 06A Safety Improvement Project in Mifflin Township, Columbia County, ACOE Baltimore District (Mifflinville, PA Quadrangle; Latitude: 41° 02` 13"; Longitude 76° 16` 10").
PA DOT Engineering District 3-0 proposes a two-mile-long safety improvement project along SR 0339, from Smith Hollow Rd to the Luzerne County Line. The project includes structure replacements and roadway widening for the SR 0080 detour route. The project includes several replacements or widening of structures with drainage areas less than 100 acres. These activities could be waived under Chapter 105.12(a)2, however they were included for project completeness. The project includes 14 pipe outfall structures with Rip Rap outlet aprons. The project includes the replacement of a Single Span Concrete Slab Bridge with a Single Span Precast Concrete Slab Bridge on Geo-Reinforced Soil Abutments (GRS) over an Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River. The existing bridge has a span of 14 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 3.0 Ft., and a low chord of 493.90 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 26 Ft2. The proposed single span bridge has a span of 14 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 8.1 Ft., and a low chord of 499.89 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 102 Ft2. The existing abutments will remain in place as part of the GRS abutments. Grouted R-8 Rip Rap choked with native streambed material will be utilized as scour protection around the abutments and wingwalls. The project will utilize half width construction to convey traffic during construction. The project will utilize a sandbag diversion and clean water pump to convey the stream during construction. The project includes the replacement of a Single Span Concrete Slab Bridge with a Single Span Precast Concrete Box Culvert over an Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River. The existing bridge has a span of 12 Ft., a skew of 30 degrees, an underclearance of 2.0 Ft., and a low chord of 497.72 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 21 Ft2. The proposed single span concrete box culvert has a span of 16 Ft., a skew of 10 degrees, an underclearance of 3.0 Ft., and a low chord of 498.90 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 48 Ft2. R-8 Rip Rap choked with native streambed material will be utilized as scour protection at the inlet and outlet. The project will utilize half width construction to convey traffic during construction. The project will utilize a sandbag diversion and clean water pump to convey the stream during construction. The project will include 24 inches of culvert depression for future maintenance if the culvert has a debris or deposition issue in the future. The box culvert will include baffles and native material on the box culvert floor. The project includes roadway widening. This widening will extend into a Detailed FEMA floodplain for the Susquehanna River. The fill will be placed in the floodplain, no fill will be placed within the floodway. The roadway widening will result in a 375 L.F. realignment of the Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River at the outlet of the proposed structure replacement.
