Air Quality Plan Approval Application No. 03-000-180

   The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public hearing on July 7, 1998, at 10 a.m. in the Department's Allegheny Conference Room, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. The hearing is for the Department to take testimony concerning Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for the Consolidated Natural Gas Transmission Corporation's (CNGT) South Bend Compressor Station in South Bend Township, Armstrong County.

   The purpose of the hearing is to issue a RACT Operating Permit for Air Quality Plan Approval No. 03-000-180.

   CNGT has complied with RACT requirements by retrofitting six Clark HLA-8 internal combustion engines driving natural gas compressors with lean emission combustion technology. Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions from these engines have been reduced to 3 g/bhp-hr at full load/full speed conditions.

   CNGT has retarded the ignition timing by four degrees relative to standard timing on an Ingersoll Rand JVG-6 internal combustion engine used for moving natural gas through the facility's dehydration system. In addition, an operating limit of 500 hours per year has been accepted for the company's Caterpillar G3512 internal combustion engine which is used for auxiliary electric power generation. These actions satisfy the presumptive RACT requirements pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 129.93 for these engines.

   Those wishing to present testimony during the hearing should contact community relations coordinator Rita Zettelmayer at (412) 442-4183 to register.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Rita Zettelmayer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   Those unable to attend the hearing, but who wish to comment, should provide written comments to Nicholas J. Waryanka, Air Pollution Control Engineer, DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Comments should be submitted by July 2, 1998.

   Copies of the RACT application, the Department's analyses and other documents used in evaluation of the application are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
