The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) provides notice of a complete application for a permit amendment for the following listed Chapter 102 Permit, issued for the Pennsylvania Pipeline Project (PPP)/Mariner East II.
Ch. 102 Permit No. Applicant Name & Address Counties DEP Regional Office ESG0100015001 Sunoco Pipeline, LP (SPLP)
535 Fritztown Road
Sinking Spring, PA 19608Chester Southeast Region
This request, determined to be Complete on January 23, 2024, is a Major Permit Amendment Request entitled Pennsylvania Pipeline Project—West Goshen PCSM, West Goshen Township, Chester County.
This Major Amendment is described as follows: The purpose of the proposed Major Amendment is for the installation of PCSM BMP's on property owned by SPLP in order to comply with the West Goshen Township Stormwater Ordinance (''ordinance'').
According to the permittee, SPLP has restored the site in accordance with the approved site restoration drawings and currently meets Ch. 102 permanent stabilization criteria. However, the ordinance considers earth disturbances greater than 5000 sq. ft. a regulated activity requiring more stringent peak flow rate reduction criteria to be met beyond Ch. 102. As such, PCSM BMP's are necessary to achieve the rate reduction criteria required by the township. To meet the criteria, a 125 ft long and 3 ft high retention berm with emergency spillway and outlet control structure requires installation.
For more detailed information regarding the Southeast Regional Office Chapter 102 permit (ESG0100015001) related to this project, which is available in the Department's Regional Office, contact the Southeast Regional Office, (484) 250-5160 to request a file review.
Comments on the applications can be emailed to RA-EPWW-SERO@pa.gov or sent via postal mail to the Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, Waterways and Wetlands Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Intent to Issue Revised Air Quality Operating Permit 35-00002.
Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915, 570-826-2511.
Contact: Mark Wejkszner, Air Quality Program Manager, 570-826-2528.
Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT III) plan for PEI Power Corp. (PEI), located in Archbald Borough, Lackawanna County. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.111—129.115, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT III plan and an amendment to the SIP for the electric utility generating facility owned and operated by PEI Power Corp.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT III approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
The proposed conditions for the alternative RACT III determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into a revised operating permit (35-00002) for the facility. The relevant RACT III requirements will be submitted to U.S. EPA as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 and approval by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Requirements that are not part of the RACT III determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal. The following is a summary of the proposed conditions for the alternative RACT III determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:
PEI has requested the following alternative case-by-case RACT III emissions limits for the following sources through this significant operating permit modification:
A continued NOx emissions limit of 0.1174 lb/MMBtu for the 450 MMBtu/hr natural gas-fired turbine.
Other sources at the facility which are not included in the alternative RACT III determination include air contamination sources subject to a presumptive RACT requirement or RACT emissions limitation in 25 Pa. Code § 129.112, air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—129.114 because they have the PTE of less than 1 tpy of NOx and/or less than 1 tpy of VOC, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(c), and air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—129.114 because they are already subject to certain Chapter 129 RACT requirements (i.e., 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.51, 129.52(a)—(k) and Table I categories 1—11, 129.52a—129.52e, 129.54—129.63a, 129.64—129.69, 129.71—129.75, 129.77, and 129.101—129.107), in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(a).
The operating permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915.
Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Permit No. 35-00002 and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Mark Wejkszner, Air Quality Program Manager, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915, phone number 570-826-2528 within 30 days after publication date.
