14-00014B: Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (711 East College Avenue, Bellefonte, PA 16823) for construction of a vertical shaft impact crusher and two conveyors in a primary stone crushing operation, installation of an air cleaning device (a fabric collector) on a secondary stone crushing operation, construction of a recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) crusher and two associated conveyors, construction of a screen in a drum mix asphalt concrete plant and construction of a railcar unloading operation at their Pleasant Gap facility on State Route 64 in Spring Township, Centre County.
The vertical shaft impact crusher will replace an existing cage mill crusher and is expected to have essentially zero emissions of particulate matter (including PM10) due to the saturated nature of the stone being crushed. The two conveyors to be constructed in the primary crushing operation will not be equipped with an air cleaning device but will process stone which was previously subjected to a water spray dust suppression system. The resultant PM10 emissions from these two conveyors are not expected to exceed .13 ton per year.
The fabric collector to be installed on the existing secondary stone crushing operation will replace a smaller fabric collector now in use. The emission of neither particulate matter nor PM10 from the new fabric collector is expected to exceed 6 pounds per hour.
The RAP crusher and two associated conveyors will not be equipped with any air cleaning devices due to the inherent lack of particulate matter emissions associated with RAP processing.
The PM10 emissions from the new asphalt plant screen are not expected to exceed .70 ton per year.
The railcar unloading operation will involve the unloading of stone from railcars and will consist of two hoppers and four associated conveyors. The conveyors will be equipped with a water spray dust suppression system. The railcar unloading operation is not expected to emit more than 3.97 tons of PM10 per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. indicates that the air contamination sources to be constructed and controlled will comply with all Air Quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and 40 CFR 60.670--60.676, the applicable particulate matter emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 and the BAT requirement 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 vertical shaft impact crusher and two conveyors, RAP crusher and two associated conveyors, asphalt plant screen and railcar unloading operation as well as for the installation of the proposed fabric collector on the secondary stone crushing operation.
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. All conditions of State Only Operating Permit 14-00014 and Plan Approval 14-00014A remain in force unless amended or superseded by a condition contained herein.

(g) A notification of a shut down of any monitoring system, whether the shut down was permanent or temporary, the reason for the shut down, the anticipated date that the monitoring system will be fully operational or replaced with another monitoring system and whether the emission unit monitored by the system continued to operate and the calculation of the emissions of the pollutant.
(h) A signed statement by the responsible official (as defined by the Title V permit) certifying the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information provided in the report.
15. Any violation of an emission limitation shall be reported (by phone call or facsimile transmission) to AMS within 24 hours of detection and followed by written notification within 31 days. For any deviation or exceedances of the FEEC and PAL, the report shall identify the PAL/ FEEC condition, and the emissions resulting from the deviation or the exceedance, and include a signed statement by the responsible official (as defined by Title V) certifying truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information provided in the report. (40 CFR 52.21(aa)(14)(ii))
16. The PAL is effective on the date of issuance of this plan approval and expires 10 years after the issue date. NSWCCD-SSES shall submit an application to renew the PAL at least 6 months prior to, but not earlier than 18 months from, the date of expiration of the PAL. If the renewal application is submitted within the time period, the PAL shall not expire at the end of the PAL effective period. It shall remain in effect until AMS issues a revised PAL permit. The renewal application shall be submitted in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(10).
17. If the PAL expires and is not renewed, each emission unit (or each group of emission units) that existed under the PAL shall comply with an allowable emission limitation under a revised permit. NSWCCD-SSES shall submit to AMS an application within the time frame specified for renewal in condition 16, with proposed allowable emission limitation for each emission unit (or each group of emission units) by distributing the PAL allowable emissions. 40 CFR (52.21(aa)(9)(i)).
18. AMS shall decide whether and how the PAL allowable emissions will be distributed and issue a revised permit incorporating allowable limits for each emission unit, or group of emission units, as AMS determines is appropriate.
(a) Each emission units shall comply with the allowable emission limitation on a 12-month rolling basis. AMS may approve the use of monitoring systems (source testing, emission factors, and the like) other than CEMS, CERMS, PEMS or CPMS to demonstrate compliance with the allowable emission limitation.
(b) Until AMS issues a revised permit, NSWCCD-SSES shall continue to comply with a source-wide, multi-unit emissions cap equivalent to the PAL.
(c) Any physical change or change in the method of operation will be subject to major NSR requirements if such change meets the definition of major modification.
(d) NSWCCD-SSES shall continue to comply with any Federal, State and City of Philadelphia requirements that may have applied either during the FEEC and PAL effective period or prior to the FEEC and PAL effective period except for those emission limitations that had been established under 40 CFR 52.21(r)(4). (40 CFR 52.21(aa) (9)(ii))
19. During the effective period AMS may reopen this plan approval to:
(a) Correct typographical/calculation errors made in setting the PAL or FEEC or to reflect a more accurate determination of emissions used to establish the PAL and the FEEC.
(b) Reduce the PAL and FEEC and create creditable emission reductions for use as ERCs.
(c) Reduce the PAL and FEEC to reflect newly applicable regulatory limits.
(d) Reduce the PAL and FEEC if AMS determines that a reduction is necessary to avoid causing or contributing to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation, or if an adverse impact on an air quality related value that has been identified in a Federal Class 1 area by a Federal Land Manager.
(e) Reduce the PAL or FEEC consistent with any other requirement that is enforceable as a practical matter and that AMS may impose.
(f) Increase the PAL and FEEC in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(11)
Except for plan approval reopening for the correction of typographical/ calculation errors, all other reopening shall be carried out in accordance with the public participation requirements of 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(5).
