Preliminary Determination to Approve an Air Quality Application to Expand the Lanchester Landfill (Application Number 36-322-001B)

   Chester County Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA), P. O. Box 476, Honey Brook, PA 19344, has filed an application with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Southcentral Regional Office, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 to expand the existing Lanchester Landfill. The expansion (Overfill Area) is located in Caernarvon Township, Lancaster County. Overfill Area will be controlled by a gas extraction system, consisting of 45 wells. The extracted gas will be vented to the existing enclosed ground flare.

   Conditions will be imposed in the plan approval under the authority granted to the Department by section 6.1 of the Air Pollution Control Act (35 § 4006.1) and 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b). Such conditions are deemed necessary to insure compliance with the following regulations:

40 CFR Part 60Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources
35 P. S. § 4000Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act
25 Pa. Code § 122National Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources
25 Pa. Code § 127Construction, Modification, Reactivation, and Operation of Sources
25 Pa. Code § 139Sampling and Testing

   Based on DEP's analysis of the information provided by the applicant, the following are predicted emissions from the facility after the expansion:

Pollutanttpy
PM1082.0
SO210.4
NOx36.7
NMOC37.9

   The plan approval would be subject to the following conditions:

   1.  The design capacity of the landfill is as follows:
-2,340,000 tons
-3,350,000 cubic yards

   2.  The landfill and its gas collection system are subject to 40 CFR, part 60, subpart WWW--Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.

   3.  Sources subject to Subpart WWW of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources shall comply with all applicable requirements of this subpart. 40 CFR, § 60.4 requires submission of copies of all requests, reports (as outlined in 40 CFR § 60.757), applications, submittals and other communications required under Subpart WWW to both EPA and the Department. The EPA copies shall be forwarded to Director, Air, Toxics and Radiation Division, U. S. EPA, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, PA 19107-4431.

   4.  The landfill gas collection system shall be operated in a manner to minimize the occurrence of positive pressure events in components not designed to operate under positive pressure. The components designed to operate under positive pressure are the mechanical blower, the flare and all piping connecting those components.

   5.  An unanticipated positive pressure event is any positive pressure reading in equipment not designed to operate under positive pressure, except that attributable to routine equipment maintenance. Routine equipment maintenance includes the following enumerated items and all similar activities:

   a.  Gas collection header repairs

   b.  Well head repairs or modifications

   c.  Well valve repairs or replacements

   d.  Temporary well shutdowns or vacuum reductions to minimize or prevent the introduction of excess air into the landfill

   e.  Flare station blower repair or replacement

   f.  Flare relight system testing or repair

   g.  Flare thermocouple or temperature switch repair or replacement

   h.  Flare liner inspection, repair or replacement

   i.  Flare actuator valve repair or replacement

   j.  Flare flame arrestor basket cleaning

   k.  Flare control panel timer adjustment or replacement

   l.  Condensate trap pump repair or replacement

   m.  Condensate tank pumpouts

   n.  Electrical service repairs

   6.  In addition to the monitoring requirements of Subpart WWW, routine leak monitoring of gas collection equipment designed to operate under positive pressure shall be performed monthly utilizing an instrument detector type meeting the specifications and performance criteria contained in Section 3 of 40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A, EPA Method 21. The measured level of 1.25% v/v (12,500 ppmv) of total organic compounds measured as methane or higher constitutes a leak. Following detection of a leak, secondary testing consisting of application of a soapwater solution must be conducted to suspect equipment to precisely locate the leak.

   Detected leaks of gas collection equipment designed to operate under positive pressure shall be repaired as soon as practicable. The Department shall be provided a tentative schedule for completing the repair of any leak not repaired within 72 hours of detection.

   7.  The existing flare shall be operated to either reduce the nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC) by 98% (by weight) or reduce the outlet NMOC concentration to less than 20 ppmdv (as hexane at 3% oxygen).

   8.  Compliance with Condition 9 may be demonstrated by maintaining a 3-hour average flare operating temperature of 1,650F (899°C) at a temperature monitoring location which represents a flue gas retention time of 0.5 second. This 3-hour average flare operating temperature shall not deviate by more than 50°F (28°C) as specified in 40 CFR, § 60.758(c)(1)(i).

   An alternative flare operating temperature may be authorized provided additional performance testing has demonstrated that compliance with Condition 9 has been achieved.

   9.  Except as otherwise stated in this condition, the flare shall be operated with a flame present at all times. The flare shall be equipped with an automatic shut-off mechanism designed to immediately stop the flow of landfill gas when a ''flame-out'' occurs. During restart or start-up, there shall be sufficient flow of auxiliary fuel to the burners to light the pilot and maintain a stable flame before landfill gas is delivered to the burners, such that unburned landfill gas is not emitted to the atmosphere. This condition does not apply to the timed ''air purge'' sequence (for removal of fugitive hydrocarbons from the flare enclosure) during restart or start-up.

   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.

   One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposals. The hearing will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on August 29, 1996 at the Caernarvon Fire Hall.

   Persons wishing to present testimony at the public hearing should contact Sandy Roderick at (717) 541-7969 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to 10 minutes and two written copies of the oral testimony shall be provided. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.

   Persons interested in submitting written comments should send their comments to Scott Werkheiser, Air Pollution Control Engineer, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, 30 days after this notice appears or before September 9, 1996, whichever is longer.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing scheduled for August 29, 1996, at the Caernarvon Fire Hall and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Sandy Roderick directly at (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.
