AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The 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 to schedule an appointment.
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 the Department's 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.

Action: Preliminary determination to approve the plan approval application for the installation of two baghouse control devices to control particulate emissions from a woodworking process. The public notice is required for sources required to obtain a plan approval at Title V facilities, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44.
Summary: Ethan Allen, Inc., Cherry Hill Division (77 South Main Street, Union City, PA 16438), has submitted an application to install two baghouses to control particulate matter emissions from a woodworking process. The baghouses will not be required to run concurrently. The permit will be subject to the following conditions:
1. This Plan Approval authorizes temporary operation of the sources covered by this Plan Approval for purposes of shakedown, startup and compliance verification tests.
2. The source shall comply with 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 for fugitive emissions, § 123.13 for particulate matter emissions, § 123.31 for odor emissions and § 123.41 for visible emissions.
3. Magnehelic gauges or equivalent shall be installed on the baghouses, in accessible locations, to monitor pressure drop. The gauges shall be maintained and operated in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. The gauges shall be maintained in working, readable condition at all times.
4. The facility shall maintain sufficient replacement baghouse bags onsite, or shall have immediate access to sufficient spare bags, at all times.
5. The facility shall comply with 25 Pa. Code § 127.25 as follows:
a) No person shall cause or permit the operation of the source unless the source and air cleaning devices are operated and maintained in accordance with specifications in the Plan Approval application, and condition Nos. 1--4, listed above. A person may not cause or permit the operation of this source in a manner inconsistent with good operating practices.
6. Visible emissions from the baghouse stacks may be measured using either of the following:
a) A device approved by the Department and maintained to provide accurate opacity measurements; or
b) Observers, trained and qualified to measure plume opacity with the naked eye or with the aid of devices approved by the Department.
7. The permittee shall conduct daily monitoring of the source while it is in operation to observe for the presence of fugitive, visible and odor emissions being emitted into the outdoor atmosphere. All detected fugitive, visible and odor emissions shall be reported to the appropriate person.
8. The permittee shall maintain records of deviations to the above defined conditions, and corrective actions taken. The recordkeeping shall include a listing or notation of any and all sources of fugitive, visible and odor emissions; the cause of the emissions; the duration of the emissions; and the corrective action taken to abate the deviation and prevent future occurrences. Records shall be maintained onsite and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
The above conditions will satisfy requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b (pertaining to plan approval terms and conditions), and will demonstrate the Best Available Technology for the source.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the plan approval for the installation of the baghouses, subject to the conditions listed previously. Based on the information in the application and the requirements of the plan approval, the Department has determined that the modifications are not subject to New Source Review (NSR) requirements of 25 Pa.

The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States 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 facility:
Source Nitrogen Oxides Emission Limits Wellons creosoted woodwaste-fired boiler 160 ppmv corrected to 7% oxygen, dry basis (24-hour average) and
