Plan Approval Application Minor Source
The following stationary sources have filed a request for a plan approval with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Air Quality. Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval have 30 days to submit the protests or comments to the Regional Office at the address listed below. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the plan approval application by filing a request with the Regional Office stating the reason for the request.
The Department will evaluate and consider all protests and comments received. The Department will, where appropriate, modify the proposed plan approval based on the protests and comments received.
The final plan approval will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operated in compliance with the Department's regulations contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143 and the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. A notice of the Department's final decision on the proposed plan approval will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Air contaminants emitted from these sources are less than the amounts that would trigger major new source review requirements. For additional information on the following applications contact Devendra Verma, Engineering Services Chief, (814) 332-6940.

Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology Plan for Defense Distribution Region East, Fairview Township, York County. Public Hearing.
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan, and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for combustion units and combustion sources at Defense Distribution Region East, DDRE-W, New Cumberland, PA 17070.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Plan Approval No. 67-2041 for the existing facility to comply with current regulations. The RACT plan for the facility includes fuel switching of boilers no. 1 through no. 4 from no. 6 fuel oil to no. 4 fuel oil. This will reduce the potential NOx emissions by approximately 199 tons per year. Additional conditions require monitoring, testing, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the combustion sources at the facility.
An appointment to review the RACT plan, plan approval and other pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 540-5018 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on April 15, 1997 at Room 215L in Southcentral Regional Office of the Department, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, from 1 p.m. until such a time as all scheduled comments on the proposal are received.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed plan and SIP revision. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing; and they should contact Mary Ann Fischer (717) 541-7969 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Commentators are requested to provide a written copy of their remarks at the time of the hearing. Persons interested in submitting written comments should send their comments to Ranjan Roy, Air Pollution Control Engineer, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 on or before April 28, 1997.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the above hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Mary Ann Fischer (717) 541-7969 or through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
