AIR POLLUTION
Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

OPERATING PERMITS
Notice of Intent to Issue Synthetic Minor State-Only Operating Permits for Certain Gasoline Distribution Facilities
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.424, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice of its intent to issue synthetic minor State-only operating permits to the gasoline distribution facilities shown below. These facilities have the physical and operation capacity to emit major source amounts of regulated pollutants, but are not considered major sources because the owners or operators of these facilities have taken Federally enforceable emission limits below major source thresholds to avoid requirements of Title III and/or Title V of the Clean Air Act. The Federally enforceable emission restrictions apply to the gasoline throughput for each facility.
To qualify as an area source for Title III purposes or a nonmajor source under Title V in moderate ozone nonattainment areas, the maximum allowable emissions (after controls) shall be less than 50 tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 10 tons of a single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. The HAP emissions from these facilities include benzene, hexane, toluene, xylene and methyl-tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE). For purposes of Title V, other pollutants including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and PM-10 must also be emitted below the major source thresholds (see ''Title V facility'' definition in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1).
The Department will issue the synthetic minor permits no later than June 15, 1998. As a result the gasoline distribution maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standard in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R will not apply to the gasoline bulk terminals and/or pipeline breakout stations listed in this notice. Title V operating permits will not be issued to these facilities. Copies of the ''synthetic minor'' application, the proposed permit and other relevant documents are available for public inspection during normal business hours in the Department's regional offices identified in this notice.
Any person wishing to provide the Department with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of these synthetic minor permits may submit the information to the appropriate Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of protests or comments on the proposed permits. Each written protest or comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the commentator, the proposed permit number and a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a public hearing, a notice of the date, time and location of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
The final synthetic minor State-only operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that these facilities comply with applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Southeast Regional Office: Air Quality Program, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, Attn: Edward Brown, (610) 832-6242.
15-00043: Sun Company, Inc. (R&M)--Malvern Terminal (41 Malin Road, Malvern, PA 19355) located in East Whiteland Township, Chester County. This is a Bulk Gasoline Terminal consisting of five Gasoline Storage Tanks and one Loading Rack. This is a major facility for volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions and Synthetic Minor for hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The VOC emissions occur mainly during the gasoline loading operation.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Public Hearings
Cyprus Cumberland Resources Corporation
Allegheny Ludlum Corporation, Washington Plant The Department reviewed the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plans and Emission Reduction Credits (ERC) application and made a preliminary determination to approve these plans and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the listed facilities.
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
Cyprus chose a case-by-case approach to meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.92 for the thermal dryer, the frothing operations, solvent cleaning operation, storage tanks and fuel dispensing. Cyprus proposed low NOx burners as add-on controls for the thermal dryers as they were determined to be cost effective through a top-down analysis. Cyprus proposes there are no additional control technologies available for the frothing and degreasing operations. Cyprus proposes to meet the presumptive RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93 for all other sources at this facility.
Cyprus has applied for ERC's for the reduction of 64 tons/year of NOx and 15 tons/year of VOC emissions generated through the shutdown of the thermal dryer at the Cumberland Mine as provided for in 25 Pa. Code § 127.207(5)(i).
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the RACT plan and ERC approval on July 7, at 10 a.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection Allegheny Conference Room, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh. Deadline to register to speak is July 6, 1998.
Allegheny Ludlum Corporation (Allegheny) Allegheny chose a case-by-case approach to meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.92 for the electric arc furnaces, two annealing furnaces and the batch pickling operation. Allegheny proposes no additional controls as they were determined to be not cost effective through a top-down analysis. Allegheny proposes to meet the presumptive RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93 for all other sources at this facility. The conditions of the RACT permit as proposed limit facility wide NOx emissions to 191.6 tons/year and facility wide VOC emissions to 4.5 tons/year.
Allegheny has applied for ERC's for the reduction of 7.78 tons/year of NOx and 8.7 tons/year of VOC emissions generated through the shutdown of three electric are furnaces at the Washington Plant as provided for in 25 Pa. Code § 127.207(5)(i).
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the RACT plan and ERC approval on July 7, 10 a.m. for Allegheny Ludlum at the Department of Environmental Protection Allegheny Conference Room, 500 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh. Deadline to register to speak: July 6.
A 30-day comment period from the date of publication will exist for the submission of written comments on both facilities.
The public is invited to comment on the proposed plan and SIP revision. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearings should contact Community Relations Coordinator Rita Zettelmayer at (412) 442-4182 by July 6, 1998.
Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes and two written copies of the testimony should be provided. 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 accommodation to do so, should contact Rita Zettelmayer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate your needs.
Those unable to attend the hearings, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Air Quality Program Manager Joseph Pezze, The Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Comments should be submitted within 30 days of the date of this publication notice.
All pertinent documents are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the DEP Regional Office in Pittsburgh. Appointments for scheduling a review may be made by calling (412) 442-4000.
United Coaters (Centria), Ambridge Plant The Department reviewed the RACT plan and made a preliminary determination to approve this plan and amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above listed facilities.
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The proposed RACT permit for the Ambridge Plant is for the application of presumptive RACT to the three Cleaver Brooks Steam Boilers and the operation of an incinerator on the emissions from the coil coating operation. This incinerator will perform with an efficiency adequate to reduce the VOCs emitted from the coating materials employed to a level meeting the requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52. Based upon information supplied by United Coaters and Department's analysis of that information, current work practices in clean-up and paint mixing areas limit solvent emissions to a level for which further environmental benefit will require expenditures beyond the RACT guidelines.
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the RACT plan on July 7, at 10 a.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection Allegheny Conference Room, 500 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh. Deadline to register to speak is July 6, 1998.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearings should contact Community Relations Coordinator Rita Zettelmayer at (412) 442-4183 by July 6, 1998.
