Title V Operating Permit #33-00007

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to Doverspike Brothers Coal Company (Doverspike) for their Dora coal preparation facility. Doverspike's Dora coal preparation facility is located in Ringgold Township, Jefferson County. Doverspike's represenative to contact concerning this application is Bradley Parker, Plant Engineer, P. O. Box 271, Punxsutawney, PA 15767.

   Doverspike's Dora coal preparation facility is primarily used for processing, sizing and preparing raw coal for sale. The facility's air emission sources include two storage silos, various coal transfer and screening operations, a thermal dryer, two finished coal stackers, a rail loadout station and unpaved roadways. The facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments due to the facility's potential to emit of Nitrogen Oxides, Sulfur Oxides and Particulate Matter less than 10 microns (PM10). The facility is therefore subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

   Any persons wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the Department at the address shown above.
