OPERATING PERMITS


Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§  4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   Northcentral Region:  Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Contact:  Muhammad Zaman, Facilities Permitting Chief, (570) 327-3637.

   19-00003:  Bloomsburg University (400 East Second Street, Bloomsburg, PA 17815) for their state university in Bloomsburg, Columbia County. The facility's major air contamination sources are five anthracite coal fired boilers used to provide steam and heat for the entire university campus. This facility has the potential to emit major quantities of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Particulate Matter (PM) and Sulfur Oxides (SOx). As a result of the potential emissions, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The facility has taken restriction on fuel throughput to limit Nitrogen Oxide emissions below major emission thresholds and avoid Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for NOx emissions. The facility has the potential to emit Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) below the major emission thresholds. This Title V operating permit contains all applicable regulatory requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting conditions.

   53-00005:  Dominion Transmission Corp.--Greenlick Station (625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3199) for their Natural Gas Transmission facility in Stewardson Township, Potter County. The Title V Operating Permit revision is to incorporate conditions from Plan Approval 53-0003B for operation of a 26.5 MMBtu/hr natural gas pipeline heater. The installation of the heater increases the facility's potential to emit nitrogen oxides by 4.20 tons per year, carbon monoxide by 42.18 tons per year and volatile organic compounds by 6.61 tons per year. This Title V operating permit contains all applicable regulatory requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting conditions.

   Certification Request Initiated by:  Consolidation Coal Company, 1800 Washington Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15241.

   Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice:  June 19, 1999

   Project Description:  Consol proposes to construct and maintain passive treatment facilities in approximately 21 acres of existing wetlands (PEM) to treat mine drainage that currently flows into the wetlands from the former Hutchinson and Angelcyk Mines. The proposed project will enhance the existing wetlands with recontouring and berm construction to increase detention time and thereby to improve the quality of the discharges to Little Sewickley Creek (TSF). The existing wetlands which are to be enhanced were created and are sustained by the discharges from abandoned Pittsburgh and Redstone coal seam mines.

   Location:  The site is located approximately 0.5 mile east of Cowansburg (Irwin, PA Quadrangle N:  05 inch; W:  17.0 inches) (the discharge from the wetland is located at Latitude 40°15`07" Longitude 79°45`00") in Sewickley Township, Westmoreland County.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT, SECTION 401

Initial requests for 401 Water Quality Certification will be published concurrently with the permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 or to the issuance of a Dam Permit or Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit, or the approval of an Environmental Assessment must submit any comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice as well as any questions to the office noted before the application. Comments should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person commenting, identification of the certification request to which the comments or objections are addressed and a concise statement of comments, objections or suggestions including the relevant facts upon which they are based.

WATER OBSTRUCTIONS AND ENCROACHMENTS

   Southeast Region:  Water Management Program Manager, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   E51-190. Sun Pipe Line Company, #4 Hog Island Road, North Pier, Philadelphia, PA 19153, City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, ACOE Philadelphia District.

   To perform maintenance work along a 25-foot reach of two 24-inch existing Sun Pipe Lines. The utility lines convey crude oil across the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge from the Hog Island Wharf to the Darby Creek Tank Farm. The project area will have a disturbance to 0.06 acre of wetlands immediately adjacent John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge impoundment along Darby Creek (WWF-MF). The project site is located 2,000 feet southwest of the intersection of 86th Street and Lyons Street (Lansdowne, PA Quadrangle N:  1.85 inches; W:  0.78 inch).

   E51-191. City of Philadelphia, Dept of Streets, Bridge Unit, 830 Municipal Services Building, 1401 JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19102, Philadelphia County, ACOE Philadelphia District.

   To replace, construct and maintain the Germantown Avenue Bridge crossing the Wissahickon Creek (TSF). The project involves the removal of the existing 9-span concrete T-beam bridge. The bridge replacement is part of a larger project to rehabilitate Germantown Avenue from Northwestern Avenue to Hillcrest Avenue. The proposed bridge will be a 3-span, continuous steel I-beam bridge. It will be approximately 313 feet long, consisting of three continuous spans of approximately 102 feet, 109 feet and 102 feet respectively. The proposed bridge will contain an associated stormwater management drainage-way and outfall and will include pedestrian sidewalks on the east and west side. The bridge will be shifted approximately 75 feet upstream from where it is presently located. The shifting of the bridge will alleviate the sharp curve and facilitate better traffic patterns. The project site is located 100 feet southeast of the intersection of Northwestern Avenue and Germantown Avenue (Germantown, PA Quadrangle N:  15.3; W:  14.4).

   E15-672. West Vincent Associates, 707 Eagleview Road, Box 562, Exton, PA 19341, West Vincent Township, Chester County, ACOE Philadelphia District.

   To install and maintain four utility line crossings of an unnamed tributary of Birch Run Creek (EV), associated with the Weatherstone Development. The utilities will be placed in the bed of Fellowship Road and bored under an existing 30-inch RCP culvert. This site is located along Fellowship Road approximately 1,500 feet north of Conestoga Road (S.R. 0401)), (Downingtown, PA Quadrangle N:  21.0 inches; W:  9.0 inches).

   Northcentral Region:  Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, (570) 327-3636.

   The permit application proposes to remove the existing single span arch structure and replace it with a single span adjacent box beam concrete bridge. This structure is proposed to have a span of 40 feet and a design underclearance of 6.5 feet. This project also proposes to install a temporary roadway constructed of four 48 inch culvert pipes and associated fill.
