   Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Eric Gustafson, Facilities Permitting Chief, (814) 332-6940.

   37-00023: Orion Power Midwest, LP (2189 Route 168 South, West Pittsburg, PA 16160) for re-issuance of the Title V Operating Permit for their facility in Taylor Township, Lawrence County. The facility generates and distributes electricity. The facility's major emission sources include Babcock & Wilcox boilers (3), electromotive diesel engines A & B, fly ash disposal, plant roadways and fly ash storage silos. The facility is a major facility due to its potential to emit of PM10, NOx, SOx and CO. Therefore, the facility is subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The facility is also subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring Rule (CAM) found in 40 CFR Part 64. Appropriate permit conditions to address the applicable CAM requirements have been included in the permit.

This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

   Sections I--VI contain actions related to industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater and discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
