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.

   Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.

   60-318-012: Q-E Manufacturing Co., Inc. (805 Market Street, New Berlin, PA 17855) for construction of a spray booth and modification of a surface coating operation at 315 Cherry Street in New Berlin Borough, Union County. The facility in which the respective surface coating operation is located is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.

   The surface coating operation previously consisted of one spray booth (No. 1) in which cast iron and aluminum wood pellet stove parts are coated with a solvent-containing coating, one spray booth (No. 2) in which powder coating occurs and a 1.5 million Btu per hour propane-fired drying/curing oven. Q-E Manufacturing Company, Inc. proposes to construct a third spray booth (No. 3) in which solvent-containing coatings will be applied and increase the amount of coating used in the surface coating operation such that the resultant VOC emissions will be in excess of the level (2.7 tons per year) which is considered to be of minor significance by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department).

   The PM emissions from spray booth Nos. 1 and 3 will be controlled with spray booth filters and the PM emissions from spray booth No. 2 will be controlled with canister filters.

   The air contaminant emissions from the modified surface coating operation are not expected to exceed 6.09 tons of VOCs, 2.01 tons of volatile HAPs, 44.8 tons of volatile solvents which are neither VOCs nor volatile HAPs, 1.01 tons of NOx and negligible amounts of PM, CO and SOx per year.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Q-E Manufacturing, Inc. indicates that the modified surface coating operation will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of Spray Booth No. 3 and the modification of the surface coating operation.

   The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:

   1.  The only coating that shall be applied in Spray Booth Nos. 1 and 3 is Forrest Paint Company High Temperature Satin Black Paint (Product Code 250H231) with a maximum VOC content of .74 pound per gallon of coating and a maximum volatile HAP content of .24 pound per gallon of coating (or alternate coating determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential). This coating shall be used as received from the vendor or supplier. Nothing shall be added to it onsite.

   2.  No more than 16,200 gallons of Forrest Paint Company High Temperature Satin Black Paint (and/or alternate coatings determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) shall be used in any 12-consecutive month period.

   3.  No more than 15 gallons of cleanup solvent shall be used in, or in association with, the surface coating operation in any 12-consecutive month period.

   4.  The only coatings that shall be applied in spray booth No. 2 shall be powder coatings which contain no VOCs, volatile HAPs or other volatile solvents.

   5.  Only electrostatic air assisted airless spray guns (or alternate spray technology determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or better, transfer efficiency) shall be used to apply coating in spray booth Nos. 1 and 3.

   6.  Spray booth Nos. 1 and 3 shall be equipped with spray booth filters at any time coating is occurring in the booths. Spray booth No. 2 shall be equipped with canister filters at any time powder coating is occurring in the booth. Extra filters shall be kept onsite. No spray coating is to occur outside of a spray booth.

   7.  The PM emissions from the exhaust of spray booth Nos. 1--3 and the associated drying/curing oven shall not exceed .005 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent gas volume. Additionally, at no time shall there be any visible air contaminant emissions from the exhausts of any of the three spray booths or the oven (other than water vapor or steam).

   8.  The only fuel that shall be used in the drying/curing oven shall be propane or natural gas.

   9.  All containers of materials containing VOCs, volatile HAPs or volatile solvents other than VOCs and volatile HAPs (acetone, and the like) shall be closed except when adding material to, or removing material from, the containers. Spray guns and lines shall be cleaned by either flushing a solid stream of cleaning solvent through them into a closed container in a nonatomized manner or by soaking them in a container of cleaning solvent. At no time shall cleaning solvent be flushed or sprayed into the atmosphere or sprayed into a container as an atomized spray. Used cleaning rags shall be stored in closed containers when not in actual use. Use cleaning rags and coatings, cleaning solvents, and the like shall never be treated in any manner which would unnecessarily promote the evaporative loss of organic compounds, volatile HAPs or other volatile solvents to the atmosphere.

   10.  The surface coating operation shall comply with all applicable requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52.

   11.  The total combined VOC emissions from the surface coating operation shall not exceed 6.09 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the total combined volatile HAPs shall not exceed 2.01 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the total combined amount of volatile solvents other than VOCs and volatile HAPs shall not exceed 44.8 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the total combined NOx emissions shall not exceed 1.01 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   12.  Comprehensive, accurate records shall be maintained of the information needed to determine compliance with the limitations and requirements specified herein. Records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   14-399-016: Spectrum Control, Inc. (1900 West College Avenue, State College, PA 16801) for construction of a ceramic capacitor manufacturing facility in Ferguson Township, Centre County.

   The plan approval was actually already issued for the construction of this facility on April 18, 2006, but because of numerous changes in facility design, the Department has determined that a new plan approval should be issued.

   The facility is as described in the notice of the Department's intent to issue the original plan approval (also numbered 14-399-016) which was published in the 36 Pa.B. 1263 (March 18, 2006), except for the following changes:

   *  The addition of two ball mills.

   *  The addition of two scales.

   *  The addition of one solvent dip tank.

   *  The addition of four solvent cleaning hoods.

   *  The addition of eight drying ovens.

   *  The addition of three kilns.

   *  The addition of one manual termination machine.

   *  The addition of one solvent dispensing hood.

   *  The addition of one epoxy mold curing hood.

   *  The addition of two screen printers.

   *  The removal of three drying ovens.

   Additionally, the natural gas-fired burner incorporated in a regenerative thermal oxidizer (an air cleaning device) is 1.3 million Btu/hour rather than the originally-approved 1.2 million Btu/hour and the amount of solvent used in a batch vapor degreaser will be greater than originally proposed and approved (250 gallons per year instead of 106 gallons per year).

   The air contaminant emissions from the ceramic capacitor manufacturing facility are not expected to exceed 23.2 tons of VOCs per year, of which no more than 5.3 tons are expected to be volatile HAPs, and 8.1 tons of PM (including PM10), .6 ton of NOx, .5 ton of CO and .003 ton of SOx per year. This constitutes an increase of .7 tons of VOCs, .1 ton of NOx and .1 ton of CO per year from the emission rates originally approved and a decrease of 1.2 tons per year of PM (including PM10). The volatile HAPs and SOx emission rates remain unchanged.

   The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Spectrum Control, Inc. indicates that the ceramic capacitor manufacturing facility should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a new plan approval for the construction of the respective ceramic capacitor manufacturing facility.

   The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:

   1.  Conditions contained in the plan approval issued on April 18, 2006, remain unchanged and in effect unless superseded or modified by a condition contained herein.

   2.  The total combined VOC emissions from the entire facility, excluding those from the batch vapor degreaser, shall not exceed 21.9 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
