UNDER ACT 2, 1995

PREAMBLE 1


Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the Background Standard, Statewide Health Standard, the Site-Specific Standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, a combination of the cleanup standards or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a Site-Specific Standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a Site-Specific Standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality within which the site is located may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.

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

   08-00003F: CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 311, Towanda, PA 18848) for installation of two regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs); one to control the air contaminant emissions from the existing line I pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and one to control the air contaminant emissions from the existing line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers at the Towanda facility in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The control devices are proposed to be installed to reduce HAP emissions to comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD (National Emission Standards for HAPs: Plywood and Composite Wood Products). The plan approval application was also submitted to request the installation of two additional refiner reject cyclones on line I and line II to operate in parallel with the existing cyclones to improve air flow and particulate removal efficiency. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (08-00003) has been issued. Potential emissions of NOx and CO are as specified in the conditions listed; potential increases in SOx and PM will be insignificant. VOC emission will decrease as a result of this installation. The de minimis emission increase in NOx emissions resulting from the RTOs, summed with the past net NOx emission increase exceeds the significant emission threshold for NOx emissions; CraftMaster must therefore purchase emission reduction credits, as specified herein, to offset the net emissions increase as specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203a, 127.205 and 127.210.

   The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed RTOs and refiner reject cyclones will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available control technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the new source review requirements of Chapter 127, Subchapter E, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD and 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.13, 123.21, 123.31 and 123.41. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed installations. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the operating permit by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

   The Department proposes to place in the plan approval the following conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:

   1.  Under the BAT provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the NOx and CO emissions from the line I RTO shall not exceed the following:

   a) For NOx; 85 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 4.8 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   b) For CO; 250 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 8.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   2.  Under the BAT provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the NOx and CO emissions from the line II RTO shall not exceed the following:

   a) For NOx; 85 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 5.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   b) For CO; 250 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 9.9 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   3.  Under the emission reduction provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.207, the VOC emissions from the line I pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTO shall not exceed 7.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (as propane by Method 25A). This limit may be revised based on the results of the stack testing required in this plan approval.

   4.  Under the emission reduction provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.207, the VOC emissions from the line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTO shall not exceed 8.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (as propane by Method 25A). This limit may be revised based on the results of the stack testing required in this plan approval.

   5.  Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, no person may permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of PM from the exhaust of each RTO associated with the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers in a manner that the concentration of PM in the effluent gas exceeds 0.04 grain per dry standard cubic foot.

   6.  Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.21, no person may permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of SOx, expressed as SO2, from the exhaust of the each RTO associated with the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers in a manner that the concentration of the SOx in the effluent gas exceeds 500 parts per million, by volume, dry basis.

   7.  Each RTO shall only be fired on natural gas and/or propane/air mix.

   8.  Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(a)(3), the permittee shall install, operate and maintain a pressure monitoring device that shall accurately measure and record the pressure drop across each RTO media at least once every 15 minutes. This information shall be used to monitor material buildup and to take appropriate corrective action to prevent excessive material buildup on the RTO media. The records shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   9.  Under 40 CFR 63.2269 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.12 (a)(3), the permittee shall install, operate and maintain a temperature monitoring device (two type K thermocouples as shown in the plan approval application) that shall accurately measure and record each RTO's combustion chamber temperature at least once every 15-minutes. The permittee shall comply with the installation, accuracy, inspection, maintenance, calibration and recordkeeping requirements specified in 40 CFR 63.2269(a) and (b) and the data availability requirements of 40 CFR 63.2270. Records shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   10.  Under 40 CFR 63.2262(k) and 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the permittee shall monitor the RTOs' combustion chamber temperature during the stack testing required in this plan approval. The permittee shall establish a minimum combustion chamber temperature as the average of the three minimum 15-minute combustion chamber temperatures monitored during the three test runs. Additionally, the established minimum combustion chamber temperature shall assure compliance with the NOx and CO emission limits contained in this plan approval. The permittee shall maintain the 3-hour block average combustion chamber temperature above the minimum combustion chamber temperature established during stack testing. However, the minimum 3-hour block average combustion chamber temperature shall not be less than 1,550° F.

   11.  By October 1, 2009, the permittee shall perform stack testing on the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTOs to demonstrate compliance with the NOx, CO and VOC emission limitations contained in this plan approval. The permittee shall also perform stack testing to determine the total HAP emissions (ppmvd as carbon dry basis by Method 25A) from the refiners, dryers and associated RTOs, or that the total HAPs are being reduced by at least 90% by the RTOs. Stack testing shall be performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 (relating to sampling and testing) and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. Testing must be performed under representative operating conditions as defined in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD. In addition, NOx and CO testing shall be performed with and without the fuel enhancement system (FES) (that is, one set of tests with only the RTO burner and another set of tests with only the FES).

   By August 2, 2009, the permittee shall submit two copies of a test protocol to the Department's Northcentral Region for review and approval. This protocol shall describe the test methods and procedures to be used in the performance of testing, and shall include dimensioned sketches of the exhaust systems showing the locations of all proposed sampling ports. The protocol shall also identify all process and control device parameters, which will be monitored and recorded during testing, including the parameters monitored to verify representative operating conditions.

   At least 14 days prior to stack testing, the permittee shall notify the Department (Northcentral Regional Office and Central Office, Source Testing Section) of the actual dates and times that testing will occur so that Department personnel can arrange to be present during testing. The Department is under no obligation to accept the results of the testing without having been given proper notification.

   Within 60 days following the completion of the stack testing, the permittee shall submit two copies of a test report to the Department's Northcentral Region for review and approval. The test report shall contain the results of the testing, a description of the test methods and procedures actually used, copies of all raw test data with sample calculations and copies of all process data recorded during testing, including, combustion chamber temperatures and the established minimum combustion chamber temperature as required in this plan approval. The results of the testing shall be expressed in units identical to the units of the limitations identified in this plan approval and expressed in units of the limitations identified in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD.

   12.  The permittee shall keep accurate records of the amounts of CO, NOx and VOCs emitted each month from the Line I and Line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTOs to determine compliance with the annual CO, NOx and VOC emission limitations. The records shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   13.  For each RTO, the permittee shall follow the maintenance schedule as specified in the document titled ''R-RL-1009 Durr System Special Maintenance Instructions.'' A copy of the instructions shall be readily visible near the RTO operators in the RTO operations room. Records shall be kept of the maintenance performed (that is, date of inspection, components inspected and maintenance/calibration performed) on a continuous basis, a monthly basis, a 3 month basis, annually and every 2 years. The records shall be maintained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   14.  Under the new source review requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203a, 127.205 and 127.210, the permittee shall purchase and apply 55.3 tpy of NOx emission reduction credits (ERCs) prior to the start of operation of the RTOs to offset the total of the net increase in emissions. The purchase and application of the NOx ERCs shall be tracked in the Department's ERC registry system. Failure to purchase and apply 55.3 tpy of NOx ERCs prior to the start of operation of the RTOs shall make this plan approval null and void.
