   09-00009: Webcraft, LLC (4371 County Line Road, Chalfont, PA 18914-1805) for renewal of their Title V Operating Permit in New Britain Township, Bucks County. The initial permit was issued on 8-1-2001. The facility is a direct mail printer consisting of six commercial lithographic printing presses and one flexographic printing press. As a result of potential emissions of HAPs and VOCs, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Renewal does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The facility is not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under to 40 CFR Part 64. The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting.

   Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, Mark Wejkszner, New Source Review Chief, (570) 826-2531.

   40-00002: Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Corp. (Route 115, Bear Creek, PA 18602) in Buck Township, Luzerne County. The facility's major source of emissions is the operation of a natural gas transmission station, which primarily emits NOx.

   E14-488. Curtin Township Supervisors, 351 Orviston Mountain Road, Howard, PA 16841. Marsh Creek Culvert, in Curtin Township, Centre County, ACOE Baltimore District (Howard, PA Quadrangle N:  8 inches; W:  14.2 inches).

   The Curtin Township Supervisors is requesting permit authorization for operation and maintenance to a twin cell culvert crossing in Marsh Creek (CWF). The Crossing was installed under Emergency Permit (EP14055003) during the summer of 2005. Obtaining the Joint Permit authorization was a final action of the Emergency Permit. This crossing consists of two 72" by 96" corrugated culvert pipes placed side by side with rock headwalls. The project impacted 700 square feet of Marsh Creek and is located just of Summit Hill Road.

Cove Point DTI Pipelines and Centre County Compressor Station, in Potter Township, Spring Township, Boggs Township, Snowshoe Township, Curtin Township, Centre County, ACOE Baltimore District (from Barrville, PA Quadrangle N:  18.87 inches; W:  13.97 inches to Snow Shoe NE, PA Quadrangle N:  7.88 inches; W:   10.13 inches).

   To construct, operate and maintain a 24-inch gas transmission pipeline with the following encroachments: 1) Temporary wetland impacts totaling 7.54 acres with 3.91 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM), 2.99 acres of palustrine forested open water wetlands (PFO) and 0.15 acre of palustrine scrub shrub wetlands (PSS) for construction of the pipeline and 0.45 acre of (PEM) and 0.04 acre (PFO) for construction of temporary access roads. Impacts to EV wetlands associated with this project total 5.65 acres. The applicant proposes to replace the functions and values of palustrine forested open water wetlands (2.99 acres) and palustrine scrub shrub wetlands (0.15 acre) that will be permanently converted to palustrine emergent wetlands because of the right of way maintenance requirements; and 2) Temporary stream impacts from the construction of pipeline crossings will total 4,730 linear feet and construction of temporary access roads will impact 1,447 linear feet of a variety of streams classified as CWF, HQ or EV watersheds.

   There are a total of 63 individual stream crossings and 66 wetland crossings. Stream crossings for access roads and pipelines would normally qualify for a general permit or waiver except for three stream crossings with a total impact of 395 linear feet. Temporary wetland crossings for access roads would normally qualify for a general permit, but 21 pipeline wetland crossings require separate authorization because they would not meet the conditions of a general permit.

   Gas line crossings shall be constructed with a minimum of 3 feet of cover. Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every gas line crossing a waterway or wetland to ensure the hydrology of the streams or wetland is not altered. The project will impact 365 linear feet of jurisdictional wetlands and 157 linear feet of waterway. The project is located between the western right-of-way of SR 0220 and right-of-way of SR 2051 eastern approximately 3 miles north of Pennsdale.

Dike and pothole construction will permanently affect 1.0 acre of PEM wetland, including 0.7 acre of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), and water level manipulation will seasonally influence another 1.75 acres of PEM wetland. Final wetland acreage on the property will be increased from 5.2 to 6.6 acres.
