AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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 DEP received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, DEP'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 DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and telephone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Individuals 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 DEP'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.
Any individual wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, 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 DEP determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP 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.

67-05006B: York County Solid Waste & Refuse Authority, 2651 Blackbridge Road, York, PA 17406-7901, Manchester Township, York County. Application received: August 1, 2023.
For the installation of SNCR technology and the incorporation of presumptive RACT 3 requirements for the three (3) municipal waste combustors at the York County Resource Recovery Center.
NOx emissions from the facility are expected to decrease as a result of the project, and no other pollutants are expected to increase. The facility is a Title V facility. DEP's review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the modification of the air contamination sources will enable the sources to comply with applicable regulatory requirements. Based on this finding, DEP proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed activity. If DEP determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specifications 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.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.111—129.115 (relating to additional RACT requirements for major sources of NOx and VOCs for the 2015 ozone NAAQS), the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department, DEP) has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT 3 plan for the previously mentioned facility.
The RACT 3 plan approval incorporates provisions and requirements for the control of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and/or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These provisions and requirements are intended to address the Commonwealth's RACT obligations under section 184 of the Clean Air Act for the 1997, 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The RACT 3 plan approval does not adopt any new regulations. If approved by the Department, this RACT 3 plan approval will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval as a revision to the Commonwealth's State Implementation Plan (SIP). Requirements that are not part of the RACT 3 plan approval will be excluded from the SIP revision submittal.
The following is a summary of the RACT 3 plan approval requirements for this facility that are proposed to be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP:
I. 129.112(f): Upon completion of startup and a subsequent 90 day optimization testing period for each of the municipal waste combustors following the installation of an air pollution control technology (such as SNCR) on the affected combustor, each modified combustor shall comply with the presumptive RACT 3 emission limit of 110 ppmvd NOx at 7% oxygen on a daily average, as per 25 Pa. Code § 129.112(f), and shall follow the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.115 in demonstrating compliance with the limit.
II. 129.112(n): Prior to the installation of an air pollution control technology (such as SNCR) and 90-day optimization testing period on each MSW combustor, the combustors shall comply with the following interim limits:
(1) Source ID 101—135 ppmvd NOx at 7% O2;
(2) Source ID 102—155 ppmvd NOx at 7% O2;
(3) Source ID 103—155 ppmvd NOx at 7% O2.
III. 129.115:
(b): [T]he owner and operator of an air contamination source subject to a NOx RACT requirement or RACT emission limitation or VOC RACT requirement or RACT emission limitation, or both, listed in § 129.112 (relating to presumptive RACT requirements, RACT emission limitations and petition for alternative compliance schedule) shall demonstrate compliance with the applicable RACT requirement or RACT emission limitation by performing the following monitoring or testing procedures:
(3) For a municipal waste combustor with a CEMS, monitoring and testing in accordance with the requirements in Chapter 139, Subchapter C, using a daily average. The daily average will be considered valid if it contains at least 18 valid hourly averages reported at any time during the calendar day as required in the quality assurance section of the continuous source monitoring manual.
(f): The owner and operator of an air contamination source subject to this section and §§ 129.111—129.114 shall keep records to demonstrate compliance with §§ 129.111—129.114 and submit reports to the Department or appropriate approved local air pollution control agency in accordance with the applicable regulations in 25 Pa. Code Part I, Subpart C, Article III (relating to air resources) and as specified in the operating permit or plan approval for the air contamination source as follows:
(1) The records shall include sufficient data and calculations to demonstrate that the requirements of §§ 129.111—129.114 are met.
(2) Data or information required to determine compliance shall be recorded and maintained in a time frame consistent with the averaging period of the requirement.
(3) The records necessary to determine compliance shall be reported to the Department or appropriate approved local air pollution control agency on a schedule specified in the applicable regulation or as otherwise specified in the operating permit or plan approval for the air contamination source.
(k): The records shall be retained by the owner or operator for 5 years and made available to the Department or appropriate approved local air pollution control agency upon receipt of a written request from the Department or appropriate approved local air pollution control agency.
IV. In installing, operating, and maintaining an air pollution control technology (such as SNCR) on each of the three combustors, the permittee shall do so in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and with good operating practices.
V. 129.112(n): As a moderate nonattainment area, Pennsylvania is required to attain the 2015 ozone NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than 6 years after the initial designation as nonattainment (83 FR 10376). The initial nonattainment designation occurred on August 3, 2018 (83 FR 25776) meaning Pennsylvania is required to attain the 2015 ozone NAAQS no later than August 3, 2024. Attaining the 2015 ozone NAAQS includes the complete implementation of RACT which means all RACT measures, including the installation and operation of all RACT control devices, must occur before August 3, 2024 unless otherwise specified in an approved compliance agreement.

06-05106B: SFS Group USA, Inc., 41 Dennis Drive, Reading, PA 19606, Exeter Township, Berks County. Application received: July 19, 2023. For the installation of a dip and spin electrostatic coating line equipped with a 2.5 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired curing oven at the Exeter plant. The project which includes the new dip coating process and use of clean-up solvents has the potential to increase VOC emissions by approximately 12.5 tpy. The facility operates under a Synthetic Minor permit and the proposed construction and potential increase in VOC emissions will not exceed the emission limits as stated in their current operating permit. 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 requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1, 127.12 and 129.52. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. As part of the proposed construction, DEP proposes to authorize the removal of two scrubbers on the existing dip coating line. 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.

15-00154, Jabil, Inc., 1303 Goshen Parkway, West Chester, PA 19038, East Goshen Township, Chester County. Application received: July 20, 2022. This action is for the renewal of a non-Title V, Natural Minor Operating Permit. The facility is a manufacturer of various medical products including implants and biomaterials for surgical fixation, correction, and regeneration of the human skeleton and its soft tissues. Permitted sources consist of four (4) vapor degreasers, and one (1) diesel-fired, 315 BHP emergency generator. During this renewal two (2) cold cleaning machines, subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.63, have been moved from the miscellaneous section of the permit to section D of the permit and the Surface Cleaning operation has also been moved to Section D to ensure the VOC emissions do not exceed 2.7 tons per year. The primary pollutant of concern is volatile organic compounds (VOC). The potential total VOC emissions for the processing plant are 3.30 tons per year. Jabil, Inc. is categorized as a natural minor facility and will not exceed any major source thresholds. The permit includes monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to address all applicable air quality requirements.

09-00028, Neenah Northeast, LLC—Quakertown, 45 N. 4th Street, Quakertown, PA 18951, Quakertown Borough, Bucks County. Application received: October 5, 2022. This action is for the initial issuance of a State Only (Synthetic Minor) Operating Permit to replace current Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) No. 09-00028 for the facility. The facility's main sources consist of a saturator (with natural gas-fired drying ovens), two coaters (each with natural gas-fired drying ovens), two graphic arts lines (each with natural gas-fired dryers), a solvent cleaning operation, and a strip-coating operation. In addition, the facility operates and maintains two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers, two natural gas-fired emergency generator sets, four natural gas-fired make-up air units, and a parts washer to support the facility. Since DEP last renewed the TVOP in May 2018, no physical changes have occurred at the facility. The two graphic arts lines and one of the coaters are subject to volatile organic compound (VOC) emission rate restrictions of 12.0, 12.3, and 10 tons/yr, respectively. In addition, the solvent cleaning operation and strip-coating operation are each subject to VOC emission rate restrictions of less than 2.7 tons/yr. However, Neenah Northeast, LLC (Neenah), has requested that the facility be subject to a site-level VOC emission restriction of less than 25 tons/yr, so that the facility is no longer considered a major facility. Based on the facility's changed status as an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and the rescission of EPA's ''Once in, Always In'' policy, DEP did not carry over the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts KK, JJJJ, and OOOO for the surface coating operations at the facility. The average annual VOC and HAP emissions from the facility over the previous 5 calendar years are 4.73 tons/yr and 1.80 tons/yr, respectively. Therefore, the SOOP will reflect the changes mentioned previously. All other requirements in the TVOP will be carried over to the SOOP, including the applicable MACT requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, for the emergency generator sets at the facility. As such, the SOOP will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. Anyone wishing to request information regarding this action can do so by contacting the Southeast Regional Office through the contact person previously listed in the header. Comments on the draft permit can be submitted through the Air Quality resource account at RA-EPSEROPUBCOM@pa.gov.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (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 (DEP) 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:
Parameter 30-Day Daily Instantaneous 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 must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0. Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity. 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 limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 77.522 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters DEP may require.
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.
