22-05007A: The Harrisburg Authority (One Keystone Plaza, Suite 104, Harrisburg, PA 17101) has submitted an application to the Southcentral Regional Office for construction at the Harrisburg Materials, Energy, Recycling and Recovery Facility (HMERRF), 1670 South 19th Street, City of Harrisburg, Dauphin County.
The proposed construction will modernize the facility in accordance with the current air quality requirements. These requirements include 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Eb--Standards of Performance for Large Municipal Waste Combustors for Which Construction is Commenced After September 20, 1994 or for Which Modification or Reconstruction is Commenced After June 19, 1996 and the best available technology (BAT) provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.1.
The major new equipment consists of:
(A) Two 400-TPD Barlow municipal waste combustors.
(B) Fans, piping, boilers and economizers.
(C) Steam turbine, condenser and cooling tower.
(D) Flue gas recirculation and selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) for NOx control.
(E) Dry lime injection for acid gas control.
(F) Carbon injection for mercury, heavy metals and dioxins/furans control.
The proposed combustors and emissions control systems are designed for independent, parallel operation. They will share a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) and exhaust stack. The existing stack height meets the EPA good engineering practice stack height requirement and will be retained.
The plan approval includes the following limits on annual emissions from the facility:
Pollutant Annual Limit NOx 264 tons per year PM10 32 tons per year SOx (as SO2) 116 tons per year CO 141 tons per year These limits were established during the project's netting analysis and include emissions generated during all start-up and shutdown periods as well as those from normal operation.

Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.521 and 127.541, the Department intends to issue a revised Title V Operating Permit to Dominion Transmission Inc. for their Leidy natural gas transmission facility in Leidy Township, Clinton County. The Dominion representative to contact regarding this application is J. Darrell Bowen, Consulting Engineer, 625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3199.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.541, this Title V Operating Permit revision is to modify and clarify various reasonably available control technology (RACT) determinations made by the Department for the Dominion Leidy facility on June 15, 1999.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a previously-submitted RACT plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for various air contamination sources at the Leidy facility.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amendment of the RACT approval for the facility which are intended to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Title V Operating Permit 18-00006 and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Title V Operating Permit 18-00006, as a revision to that permit, for three 40 million Btu per hour boilers, four 6.5 million Btu per hour salt bath heaters, a 0.07 million Btu per hour boiler, two hot water heaters and two space heaters:
1. All of the respective sources shall only be fired on natural gas.
2. All of the respective sources shall be maintained and operated in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and good air pollution control practices. This requirement shall be considered as RACT for the VOC emissions from the respective sources as well as for the NOx emissions.
3. The VOC emissions from each of the three 40 million Btu per hour boilers shall not exceed 0.946 ton in any 12 consecutive month period.
4. An annual tune-up shall be performed on each of the 40 million Btu per hour boilers.
5. Records shall be maintained of the amount of natural gas burned in each of the 40 million Btu per hour boilers each month as well as the dates and results of each tune-up performed on any of the respective three boilers.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed Title V operating permit revision, RACT revision and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on July 22, 2003, at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
