This facility is a manufacturer of printed flexible packaging material for the coffee, pet food and agricultural industries.

The Title V Operating Permit was modified to reduce the volatile organic compound (VOC) limit for Ink Mixing Process—Source ID No. 310 to 2.70 tons per year to address compliance with Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) III conditions for the Ink Mixing Process since the facility-wide emissions of VOC exceed the 50 tons per year threshold for RACT III applicability. RACT III is addressed through this minor modification for Source ID 901 & miscellaneous source indigo press since the Potential to Emit VOC is less than 2.7 tons per year of VOCs and subjects these sources to the presumptive RACT III requirement of installing, maintaining and operating the source in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and with good operating practices. Source IDs 202, 203, 204 and 205 are not subject to the RACT III requirements because a RACT requirement has been established for these sources in 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.64—129.69.
