Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915, 570-826-2511.
Contact: Mark J Wejkszner, Air Quality Program Manager, (570) 826-2511.
Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b) that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is soliciting comments and intends to issue Plan Approval # 13-00003B, to Panther Creek Power Operating, LLC (the Permittee) 4 Dennison Road, Nesquehoning, PA 18240 for their facility located in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County. This plan approval will be incorporated into the facilities Title V operating permit # 13-00003 through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Panther Creek submitted the application to combust tire derived fuel (TDF) as a supplemental fuel as described in the Permittee's June 15, 2023 Plan Approval Application and any other subsequent supplemental submissions.
Plan Approval No. 13-00003B is to allow the two existing Panther Creek Power Operating, LLC (Panther Creek) circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustors (Pyropower Unit # 1, Source 031 and Pyropower Unit # 2, Source 032), which are both currently permitted to combust culm and No. 2 fuel oil, to also combust tire derived fuel (TDF) as a supplemental fuel up to 15% by weight on a monthly basis. The TDF will be chipped and processed prior to delivery to Panther Creek, by other non-affiliated parties to meet the definition of a fuel under EPA's Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials Rule (NHSM).
While a change in fuel can trigger Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) applicability, the facility operates under a Plantwide Applicability Limit (PAL) permit (13-00003A, issued May 25, 2023) and since the PAL limits will not be exceeded by this modification, PSD is not applicable.
