   The proposed approval is for the immediate implementation of manual control of air-to-fuel ratios on Furnaces #1, #2, and #3 for a 15 percent reduction in NOx emissions. Additionally, Anchor shall install Combustion Staging on Furnaces #1 and #2 by May 31, 1998, to reduce NOx emissions for these sources by approximately 50 percent.

   RACT for all sources at this facility will include their operation and maintenance in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and accepted air pollution control practices.

   Those wishing to present testimony during the hearing should contact Community Relations Coordinator, Betsy Mallison, at (412) 442-4182 by October 21, 1997, to register.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Betsy Mallison or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   Those who are unable to attend the hearing, but wish to comment, should provide written comments to Barbara Hatch, Air Pollution Control Engineer, DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Comments must be submitted within 30 days of the appearance of this notice.

Proposed revision to the State Implementation Plan for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), and notice of public hearing.

   Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plans for: Department of the Air Force Air Reserve Station (Horsham Township, Montgomery County); Ford Electronics & Refrigeration Company (Worcester Township, Montgomery County); Transwall Corporation (West Goshen Township, Chester County); Finnaren & Haley, Inc. (Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County); Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base (Horsham Township, Montgomery County).

   DEP has made a preliminary determination to approve RACT plans as amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above facilities. The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in RACT approvals for these facilities to comply with current regulations.

   These preliminary determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's SIP.

   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.

   Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa.

   Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. The NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

   Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
