SPECIAL NOTICES

Department of Environmental Protection Extends Deadline for CAIR Permit Applications

   To facilitate the submission of permit applications to both Federal and state agencies, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is extending the deadline for electric generating units (power plants) to submit applications under the new Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) from July 1, 2007, until January 1, 2008. Once Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan for CAIR is approved by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Commonwealth will become the permitting authority for this program.

   On May 12, 2005, the EPA promulgated CAIR to address the interstate transport of NOx and SO2. In its initial finding, the EPA determined that 28 states (including the Commonwealth) and the District of Columbia contribute significantly to nonattainment of the National ambient air quality standards for fine particles and/or 8-hour ozone in downwind states. Based on this finding, revisions to State Implementation Plans were due to the EPA in September 2006 requiring SO2 and/or NOx emission reductions from electric generating units (EGUs) in two phases. Phase One (covering 2009-2014) of the NOx reductions must begin in 2009; the first phase (2010-2014) of the SO2 reductions must start in January 2010. The second phase of CAIR must be implemented by January 2015. (70 FR 25162).

   On April 28, 2006, the EPA promulgated Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs), which affect EGUs in each CAIR-covered state. (CAIR) (71 FR 25328). The CAIR FIP amended Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan in 40 CFR Part 52, Subpart NN to add ''interstate pollutant transport provisions.'' The owners and operators of each NOx and SO2 source located within the Commonwealth for which requirements are set forth in the federal CAIR NOx Annual Program, Federal Ozone Season Trading Program and the Federal CAIR SO2 Trading Program in 40 CFR Part 97 must comply with applicable requirements.

   The owners and operators of each CAIR-affected EGU subject to the Title V Operating Permit Program must submit a CAIR permit application to the permitting authority at least 18 months before the later of January 1, 2009 or the date on which the CAIR unit commences commercial operation, unless the permitting authority extends the deadline. In accordance with 40 CFR 97.121 (relating to submission of CAIR permit applications), the Department is extending the deadline for submission of CAIR permit applications to January 1, 2008. The Department also may request additional information in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.414 (relating to supplemental information) after Pennsylvania's proposed CAIR is adopted as a final-form regulation.

   For questions about permitting issues, contact Virendra Trivedi at (717) 787-4325, vtrivedi@state.pa.us. For questions concerning the proposed CAIR, contact Randy Bordner at (717) 787-9495, ranbordner@state.pa.us.

Notice of Certification to Perform Radon-Related Activities in Pennsylvania

   In the month of June 2007, the Department of Environmental Protection, under the authority contained in the Radon Certification Act (63 P. S. §§ 2001--2014) and regulations promulgated thereunder at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 240, has certified the persons listed to perform radon-related activities in this Commonwealth. The period of certification is 2 years.
