PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS 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 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.

18-00033B: Renovo Energy Center, LLC (12011 Sunset Hills Road, Suite 110, Reston, VA 20190-5919) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for plan approval to construct a natural gas/ultra-low sulfur diesel-fired (ULSD) combined-cycle power plant to produce 1,240 MW or less of electricity in Renovo Borough, Clinton County. The project consists of two (2) identical 1 x 1 powerblocks where each powerblock consists of a combustion turbine and steam turbine with a natural gas-fired duct burner and a heat recovery steam generator. The maximum heat input rating of each combustion turbine is 3,541 MMBtu/hr firing natural gas and 3,940 MMBtu/hr firing ULSD. The maximum heat input rating of the duct burners is 1,005 MMBtu/hr (HHV) firing on natural gas. The duct burners are not used when the combustion turbines fire ULSD. The air contaminants from each power block will be controlled by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system and an oxidation catalyst. Ancillary equipment for the facility also being proposed by Renovo Energy Center, LLC include: one (1) 2,206 brake horsepower (bhp) diesel-fired Caterpillar model 3512C emergency generator engine, one (1) 237 bhp diesel-fired Clarke/John Deere model JU6H-UFAD88 fire pump engine, two (2) 66 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired auxiliary boilers, three (3) 15 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired water bath heaters, one (1) 3 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired dew point gas heater, one (1) 3,500,000-gallon ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD) storage tank, two (2) 20,000-gallon lube oil storage tanks, two (2) 26,000-gallon aqueous ammonia storage tanks, one (1) 2,500-gallon ULSD storage tank (emergency generator engine), one (1) 350 gallon ULSD storage tank (fire pump engine), twelve (12) sulfur hexafluoride-containing high voltage circuit breakers. The proposed project is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21, the Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—27.218, and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The facility's total particulate matter (PM) including PM10 and PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The facility's nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emissions are also subject to the NNSR requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The facility is also subject to the following Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS): 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Dc—Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units codified in 40 CFR 60.40c through 40.48c. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines codified in 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart TTTT—Standards of Performance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Electric Utility Generating Units codified in 40 CFR 60.5508 through 60.5580.

However, as a result of federal court ruling, a facility that exceeds the major source threshold for CO2e only, is still considered a minor source for air permitting. Sources at the Buffalo Compressor Station are subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A—General Provisions, Subpart JJJJ—Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, and Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines. Sources are also subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145. The permit includes emission limitations, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, for the plant.
