The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management, and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.

AIR QUALITY

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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.

   DEP 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 DEP 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 DEP 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Notice of Intent to Revise Operating Permit for
Large Municipal Waste Combustors

   Under section 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) to control the emission of combustor gases from existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs). (See 60 FR 65382, December 19, 1995, and 62 FR 45116, August 25, 1997). The guidelines are codified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb (relating to emission guidelines and compliance times for large MWCs that are constructed on or before September 20, 1994). The Subpart Cb requirements apply to any existing large MWC unit that is capable of combusting more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to submit section 111(d)/129 State Plan for large MWCs to EPA as soon as practicable. In accordance with the Plan, the Department will implement the EG by incorporating the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb into Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPs). The revised FESOPs will serve as the legally enforceable mechanism to implement the Subpart Cb requirements.

   Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Department's Southeast Regional Office at (610) 832-6003.

   Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the Regional Office at the address below within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period should include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. the commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the issuance of the revised permit and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based. Any written comments should be sent to: DEP Southeast Regional Office; Air Quality, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, Attn: Thomas McGinley.

   The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of the hearing at least 30 days prior to the hearing. The hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.

   The following designated MWC facility must comply with the Subpart Cb requirements: 46-340-002: Montenay Montgomery Limited Partnership, Montenay Energy Resources of Montgomery County, Inc. (1155 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, PA 19428) in Plymouth Township, Montgomery County.
