Public Notice
Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Non-major Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application and at one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits have 30 days to submit protests or comments. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC); Public Hearing; and Intent to Revise Operating Permit for Large Municipal Waste Combustors
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan as amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the two municipal waste combustors owned and operated by Montenay Energy Resources of Montgomery County, Inc. (Montenay), located at 10 Highland Avenue, Plymouth Township, Montgomery County. The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approvals for the facility to comply with current regulations. The preliminary determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Montenay's Operating Permit and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determinations for Application No. OP-46-0010A:
Sources Emission Limit Control Technique Implementation (tons/year/unit) Schedule Two Municipal Waste Combustors 615 NOx Source Monitoring and Recordkeeping Pending on the Issuance of Operating Permit Also note that under section 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) to control the emission of combustor gases from existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs). (See 60 FR 65382, Dec. 19, 1995 and 62 FR 45116, Aug. 25, 1997). The guidelines are codified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb (relating to emission guidelines and compliance times for large municipal waste combustors that are constructed on or before September 20, 1994). The Subpart Cb requirements apply to any existing large MWC unit that is capable of combusting more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.
The Department intends to submit a section 111(d)/129 State Plan for large MWCs to the EPA as soon as practical. In accordance with the plan, the Department will implement the EG by incorporating the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb into Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPs). The revised FESOPs will serve as the legally enforceable mechanism to implement these Cb requirements.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revision and implementing of the emission guidelines. The hearing will be held on May 19, 1998, at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA from 7 p.m. until all scheduled comments are received. The hearing will represent the opportunity for oral comment to the Department on these proposals and will not be a question and answer session. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing are requested to contact Clarke Rupert, the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6020 to register prior to the hearing. Written comments or suggestions concerning the proposals should be submitted to Francine Carlini, Air Quality Program Manager, DEP, Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428 on or before May 19, 1998. Written comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. Commentators should also include a concise statement of objections to the issuance of the revised permit and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
