Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings

   Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.

   The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a truck van chassis manufacturing facility (Danville Facility) owned and operated by Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.

   The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.

   The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.

   The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for this operation:

   *  Continued compliance with the requirements previously established in operating permit #47-399-012A for the cleanup operations existing at the respective facility (restrictions on specific cleanup solvents to be used for specific cleaning activities, restrictions on cleanup solvent usage practices and a 7.5 ton per year volatile organic compound emission limitation).

   One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on August 12, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.

   Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for such certification.

   Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa.

   Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. Such NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chs. 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

Request for Variance

   The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Canterbury Coal Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.

   The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to James J. Brahosky, Acting Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.

   Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.

   Section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Mine Foreman; Ventilation, requires that in case of accident to a ventilating fan or its machinery, or if the fan stoppage is a planned interruption whereby the ventilation of the mine is interrupted, the mine foreman shall order the power to be disconnected from the affected portions and withdraw the men immediately from the face areas. In mines employing the use of multiple fans equipped with self-closing doors which operate automatically when the fan is stopped, such action need not be taken provided the minimum requirements are met by other fans of the system. If the fan has been stopped for a period of time in excess of 15 minutes in a gassy mine, and 30 minutes in a nongassy mine, the mine foreman shall order the men withdrawn from the mine. If the mine foreman shall deem it necessary, he may withdraw the men from a gassy mine in less than the said 15 minutes and from a nongassy mine in less than the said 30 minutes. He shall not allow the men to return to their work until ventilation has been restored, and the mine has been thoroughly examined by certified personnel and reported safe. A record shall be made of said examination.

   Summary of the request: Canterbury Coal Company requests a waiver of section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. This waiver will provide accommodations for the evacuation of men from the mine by way of battery powered personnel carriers and/or mantrips.

   The following permit applications and requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for water quality certification have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection.

   In addition to permit applications, the Bureau of Dams, Waterways and Wetlands (BDWW) and the Regional Office Soils and Waterways Sections have assumed primary responsibility for processing requests for certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), for projects requiring both a Dam Safety and Encroachments Permit, and a United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) permit. Section 401(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act requires the State to certify that the involved projects will not violate the applicable provisions of 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1301--1303, 1306 and 1307, as well as relevant State requirements. Initial requests for 401 Certification will be published concurrently with the BDWW permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 or to the issuance of a Dam Safety or Encroachment Permit, or the approval of Environmental Assessments must submit any comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice as well as any questions to the Bureau or Field Office indicated as the responsible office.
