SPECIAL NOTICES

Registered and Certified Emission
Reduction Credits

   The following emission reduction credits (ERCs) have been approved, registered and certified by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. ERCs are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants:  carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.

   The Department has established a computerized ERC registry system, under 25 Pa. Code § 127.209, to provide for the registration, certification and tracking of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. Following certification of the ERCs, they may be used for either of the following purposes:

   (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements;

   (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities;

   (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.

   The certified ERCs shown below, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

   For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325. A copy of this notice is also posted on the DEP World Wide Web Site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Environmental Subjects/Air Quality/Permit Information/ERC Registry files).

Status Report for Emission Reduction Credit (ERC) Registry Applications

   The following Emission Reduction Credit (ERC) Registry Applications and requests for ERCs have been received by the Bureau of Air Quality, Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In addition to ERC Registry Applications submitted directly to the Department, ERC Registry Applications reviewed and approved initially by the Allegheny County Health Department (Allegheny County), and Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Air Management Services (Philadelphia County) are also submitted to the Department for review and approval to verify compliance with applicable ERC requirements in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208 prior to registration of the ERCs in the Statewide ERC Registry system.

   The ERC Registry Applications, requesting ERCs primarily for VOCs and NOx, are currently under review by the Department unless otherwise indicated in the ''Status of ERC Registry Application'' column. For New Source Review (NSR) purposes, the entire Commonwealth is considered nonattainment for ozone because of the Commonwealth's inclusion in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). Southeastern Pennsylvania (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties) is classified as a ''severe'' ozone nonattainment area and the remainder of the Commonwealth is considered a ''moderate'' ozone nonattainment area. VOC and NOx credits generated in a moderate ozone nonattainment area can not be traded to a facility located in a severe ozone nonattainment area. However, VOC or NOx credits generated in a severe ozone nonattainment area may be traded to a facility located in a moderate ozone nonattainment area which is either within 200 kilometers or 2 days upwind of the ERC-generating facility.
