Preliminary Determination to Approve an Air Quality Application to Construct a Printing Press

   R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company, 1375 Harrisburg Pike, Lancaster, PA 17601 has submitted an application to the Department of Environmental Protection, Southcentral Regional Office, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 for the construction of a four-unit, two-web non-heatset printing press at their Lancaster West facility in Lancaster, Lancaster County.

   Based upon the Department's analysis of the information provided by the applicant, this project is subject to the Subchapter E--New Source Review regulations for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. These provisions require applicants (1) to secure offsets for emissions from the proposed project and (2) to apply emission control technology that provides the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) for the respective emissions. Emissions offsets for this project's 8.6 tons per year of VOC emissions and other facility VOC emissions increases since 1991 and will be obtained from the company's East plant in Lancaster under Approval No. ER-5027.

   The plan approval will include those conditions deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations:

25 Pa. Code 127Construction, Modification, Reactivation, and Operation of Sources--Subchapter E
25 Pa. Code 135Reporting of Sources

Conditions:

   1.  Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions generated from the operation and maintenance of the LDM-673 press shall not exceed 8.6 tons/year based upon a consecutive 12-month period and 13.0 lb/hour based upon a daily average.

   2.  Records shall be maintained for a period of 5 years at the facility and made available to the Department upon request.

   3.  The following data shall be collected and recorded on a monthly basis:

   a.  Press run time (hours or impressions for the press)

   b.  Materials containing VOCs and (for the press)

   (1)  Manufacturer

   (2)  Product number and type

   (3)  Usage (by weight or volume)

   (4)  Density (s.g. or lb/gal)

   (5)  VOC content (% by weight) as applied

   (6)  Vapor pressure

   (7)  Hazardous Air Pollutants (type and % by weight)

   c.  VOC emissions (for the press)

   (1)  the highest lb/hour based upon a daily average

   (2)  tons/year

   d.  For VOC emission calculation purposes, the total quantities of each pollutant shall be determined from the actual VOCs in each material and the quantities of each of those materials used rather than using overall averages.

   4.  The company shall keep all containers containing VOCs and HAPs tightly closed when not in use. This includes containers for clean-up solvents, used liquids and solvent-laden wipes.

   5.  Press LDM-673 shall not commence operation until the Emission Reduction Credits (ERC), Application ER 36-5027, are entered into the Department's ERC registry system.

   An appointment to review the 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.
