19-304-008D: Benton Foundry, Inc. (5297 SR 487, Benton, PA 17814) for construction of a phenolic urethane cold box foundry core-making machine at their iron foundry in Sugarloaf Township, Columbia County.
The proposed core-making machine is a Gaylord Model 24VTSB core-making machine. The VOC and VHAP emissions from this machine will be controlled by an existing packed bed scrubber which utilizes a sulfuric acid solution as the scrubbing medium. The resultant VOC and VHAP emissions from the machine will be a maximum of 5.055 tons and .479 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period. The VOC and VHAP emissions from the foundry will not increase however as the proposed core-making machine will replace two existing core-making machines.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Benton Foundry, Inc. indicates that the proposed core-making machine will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed core-making machine.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The VOC and combined VHAP emissions from the Gaylord Model 24VTSB core-making machine shall not exceed 5.055 tons and .479 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period nor shall the total combined VOC and total combined VHAP emissions from the two existing Gaylord Model 19-VSTB-RD core-making machines constructed under Plan Approval 19-304-008C exceed 5.055 tons and .479 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period nor shall the total combined VOC and total combined VHAP emissions from all phenolic urethane cold box core-making machines at this site, both existing and new, exceed 5.055 tons and .479 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
2. The Gaylord Model 24VTSB core-making machine shall not process more than 10,000 tons of sand in any 12 consecutive month period nor shall the two Gaylord Model 19-VSTB-RD core-making machines constructed under Plan Approval 19-304-008C process more than a combined total of 10,000 tons of sand in any 12 consecutive month period nor shall all phenolic urethane cold box core-making machines at this site, both existing and new, process more than a combined total of 10,000 tons of sand in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. The packed bed scrubber shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the differential pressure across the scrubber, the pH of the scrubbing solution and the pressure of the scrubber's recirculation system.
4. The pH of the scrubbing solution shall not exceed 5.0.
5. The flow rate of the packed bed scrubber's recirculation system shall be equal to or greater than 120 gallons per minute. Compliance with this condition shall be verified by ensuring that the pressure of the recirculation system is equal to or greater than 25 psi.
6. Comprehensive, accurate records shall be maintained of the amount of sand processed through the Gaylord Model 24VTSB core-making machine each month, the amount of sand processed through the two Gaylord Model 19-VSTB-RD core-making machines each month, the total combined amount of sand processed through all of the core-making machines each month, the pH of the scrubbing solution, the identity of the binders and catalyst used in the core-making process and the resin to sand ratio and the catalyst to binder ratio for all sand processed.

The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
