PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW 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 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.

   Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. 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 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 the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   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 (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

   41-00013B: Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc. (2475 Trenton Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701) for construction of a coil coating line in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County. Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc. is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 41-00013 has been issued.

   The coil coating line will incorporate three coating stations, each with an associated curing oven, which will be used to surface coat foil gauge metal substrate, typically aluminum, with various VOC and volatile HAP (VHAP)-containing coatings. Each of the coating stations will be equipped with an enclosure to capture VOCs/VHAPs. The captured VOC/VHAP emissions from these enclosures will be controlled by a regenerative thermal oxidizer, at a destruction efficiency of 98%, as will the VOC/VHAP emissions emitted from the three curing ovens. The resultant VOC emissions will be no more than 3.0 tons per year, all of which could also be VHAPs. There could additionally be up to .05 ton per year of VOC emissions, all of which could also be VHAPs, from associated cleanup operations. In addition to the VOC and VHAP emissions resulting from the application of coatings and the use of solvents for cleanup purposes, the coil coating line is expected to emit up to 1.75 tons of NOx, 1.18 tons of CO and .09 ton of VOCs per year from combustion occurring in the ovens and regenerative thermal oxidizer.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc. indicates that the proposed coil coating line will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed coil coating line. Additionally, if the coil coating line is subsequently determined to be operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements after it is constructed, the conditions of the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 41-00013 though administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
