PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.

46-00186: Tri Valley Crematory (667 Harleysville Pike, Telford, PA 18969; Attn: Mr. Patrick Taylor) for a non-Title V Facility, State-Only Natural Minor Operating Permit in Franconia Township, Montgomery County. This renewed operating permit reflects the continued operation of Source ID 101 (Crematory). The facility also operates three (3) identical air conditioning and heating systems that operate on propane. There are no other sources of emissions at this facility. The potential to emit of the permitted sources at the facility are less than 1.0 TPY for NOx, SOx, and VOC; 1.54 TPY for PM; and 2.25 TPY for CO. Emissions of PM from the Crematory are expected to be less than 0.08 grains per dry standard cubic feet, corrected to 7% O2. Emissions of SOx from the Crematory are expected to be less than 500 ppmv. The permit will continue to contain monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice standards designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
23-00102: Brandywine Veterinary Hospital (1270 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford, PA 19317) for operation of their veterinary hospital in Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County. The permit is for a non-Title V (State only) facility. The source of air emissions is an animal crematory unit with an integral afterburner.

47-00014D: United States Gypsum Company (60 PPL Road, Danville, PA 17821-7963) to revise certain volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions restrictions applicable to the wallboard kiln dryer incorporated into Source ID P114, which is located at the Washingtonville Plant in Derry Township, Montour County. Specifically, the maximum allowable VOC emission rate for the wallboard kiln dryer incorporated into Source ID P114, while the source is producing wallboard with the water resistant additive (WRA), is to increase to 42.72 pounds per hour (lb/hr) from 25.9. In addition, the company specified that the maximum allowable VOC emission rate for Source ID P114, while the source is producing wallboard without the WRA, is to decrease to 3.0 lb/hr from 4.6. Additionally, the Potential to Emit VOC for Source ID P114 will increase to 32.1 tons per year (tpy) from 30.4. Compliance with the revised emission and throughput restrictions will be evaluated on a 12-month rolling basis. The WRA is largely composed of a siloxane-based raw material (95—100%).
The modification to produce wallboard with a siloxane-based raw material at the source was initially permitted under the terms and conditions of Plan Approval No: 47-00014A. Since issuance, the increase in the Potential to Emit VOC of the source, due to the above modification, has been reportedly capped by limiting the amount of additive used on a 12-month rolling basis. However, as indicated above, compliance with the current maximum allowable VOC emission rate applicable has been intermittent since the modification commenced on or around 2010, based on the previous stack test performances. The company based on the most recent 2016 stack test performances shows that the source is not meeting the 25.9-lb VOC/hr emission restriction during certain WRA wallboard production operations. As was done in the previous plan approval applications (No. 47-00014A through 47-00014C), the company specified that combined total VOC emissions from the source due to the modifica-tion are to capped with a new WRA throughput restriction of 1,100,000 pounds in any 12 consecutive month period, in lieu of the WRA throughput restriction as specified in Plan Approval No: 47-00014C. As such, the Potential to Emit VOC for the Washingtonville Plant on a source wide basis reportedly show that the modification is not to exceed the major modification threshold of 50 tpy. The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the proposal to comply as submitted by the company indicates that each of the revised emission specifications, above will satisfy all applicable regulatory requirements, including the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. In addition, the plan approval includes terms and conditions to comply with Federal and State air regulatory requirements. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the modification of the source.
Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the following is listing a brief description of the conditions which the Department intends to place in the plan approval with reference to the applicable underlying regulatory requirements: a requirement to use no more than 1,153 lb/hr of water resistant additive, along with monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements; a requirement to use no more than 1,100,000 lb/12 CMP of water resistant additive, along with monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements; a requirement to monitor the kiln speed to verify MAX Kiln Capacity; a requirement to use only the water-resistant additive as specified in the plan approval application submittal and this raw material shall contain zero hazardous air pollutants (HAPs); emission restrictions for nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), VOC, HAP and PM-10 emission from Source ID P114, along with testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to verify compliance.; emission restrictions carried forward from previous plan approval for NOx, CO, SO2, HAPs, formaldehyde and PM-10, applicable to Source ID P114; a requirement to use no more than 33,600 pounds of chain lube oil, 500,000 pounds of soap and 20,000,000 pounds of waste water in any twelve consecutive month period, along with monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting; operation of the burners associated with Source ID P114 in accordance with good combustion and maintenance practices consistent with the manufacturer's specifications; annual work practice requirements to prevent a buildup of material from reoccurring inside the board kiln dryer incorporated into Source ID P114; and pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 127.35, emission limitations/restrictions for combined total emissions volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and combined total individual HAP emissions from the source (the Washingtonville Plant), along with recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
The Washingtonville Plant is a Title V facility. If the Department determines that the source is modified in compliance with the plan approval as well as the specifications as provided by the company, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Permit No: 47-00014 pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450. All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

43-270L: CCL Container (1 Llodio Drive, Hermitage, PA 16148), the Department intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the installation of a replacement Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer. This control device is used to control VOC and HAP emissions. VOC emissions from the facility are not expected to increase as result of this project. This existing Synthetic Minor facility is located in Hermitage Township, Mercer County. The sources controlled are considered new sources (post 1972) and are subject to BAT requirements. Public notice is required for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
The sources' emissions will be captured and controlled via a previously installed bag house for particulate matter filtration and then ducted to the proposed RTO for VOC control. The use of this control equipment, which achieves the required emission rates, is consistent with current best available technology (BAT).
The source shall comply with conditions, which will satisfy the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b (pertaining to plan approval terms and conditions) and will demonstrate Best Available Technology for the source. Emission rates will be verified via stack testing.
The Plan Approval will contain testing, recordkeeping, emission restriction, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(e)(1), all the pertinent documents regarding this application (applications, review memos, and draft approvals) are also available for review from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Meadville Regional DEP office (Air Quality).

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a 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 (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
