The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Kerrico Corporation indicates that the facility should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart WWWW of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.5780--63.5935 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the cast polymer bathroom and kitchen countertop manufacturing operation.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. The two gelcoat spray booths shall be equipped with a complete set of overspray filters any time the booths are in use and, additionally, shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the filters.
2. Gelcoat applied in the facility shall be applied in the two gelcoat spray booths with HVLP or high volume low pressure spray technology (or an application technique determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential) only. The air pressure of each HVLP spray system shall be set such that the air pressure at the tip of the spray gun is between .1 psig and 10.0 psig.
3. Each HVLP spray gun used at the facility shall be tested at least once each calendar quarter using ''test gauge air caps'' or ''air cap test kits'' to determine the air pressure at the tip of the gun.
4. ''Clear gelcoats'' and ''white/off-white gelcoats'' (as those terms are defined in Subpart WWWW) are the only gelcoats that shall be used at this facility. The clear gelcoats shall contain no more than 44% (by weight) volatile HAPs and no more than 44% (by weight) VOCs. The white/off-white gelcoats shall contain no more than 30% (by weight) volatile HAPs and no more than 30% (by weight) VOCs.
5. The two batch mixing machines shall be equipped with covers having no visible gaps except that gaps up to one inch are permissible around mixer shafts and any required instrumentation. The covers shall be closed at any time mixing is occurring except when adding or removing materials.
6. ''Marble or cultured resins'' and ''solid surface resins'' (as those terms are defined by the Department) are the only resins that shall be used at this facility. The marble or cultured resins shall contain no more than 32% (by weight) volatile HAPs and no more than 32% (by weight) VOCs, as supplied by the resin supplier. The solid surface resins shall contain no more than 17% (by weight) volatile HAPs and no more than 17% (by weight) VOCs as mixed. To determine the as-mixed volatile HAP or VOC, content of a batch of solid surface resin, the weight of resin used in the batch shall be divided by the sum of the weight of the resin used and the weight of the filler (such as aluminum silicate) used in the batch. This value shall then be multiplied by the volatile HAPs or VOC, content of the as-supplied resin expressed as a percentage.
7. The mold release agents used at the facility shall not contain any volatile HAPs. Additionally, the vapor pressure of any mold release agent shall not exceed 6.0 millimeters of mercury at 20°C.
8. The only materials that shall be used at the facility to clean cured and uncured gelcoats and/or resins from gelcoat application equipment and resin mixing and pouring equipment shall be acetone and Superior Oil Company ''Super Blue LF Resin Cleaner'' (or an alternate material determined by the Department to have an equivalent, or lower, air contaminant emission potential). Additionally, the Super Blue LF Resin Cleaner shall not contain any volatile HAPs and shall contain no more than 6.3% VOCs (by weight).
9. Containers of gelcoat, resin, cleaning solvents/materials and any other VOC-containing material, volatile HAP-containing material or acetone-containing material used at this facility shall be kept closed except when in actual use. Spray lines and guns shall be cleaned either by flushing cleaning solvent/material through the spray line/gun into an appropriate container in a solid liquid stream or by soaking the lines/guns in a closed container of cleaning solvent/material. Under no circumstances shall cleaning solvent/material be flushed or sprayed directly into the atmosphere or flushed into a container in an atomized spray. Any solvent-wet cleaning cloths shall be kept in a closed container when not in actual use.
10.

18-315-0001A: First Quality Tissue, LLC (904 Woods Avenue, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for installation of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system incorporating a 2.0 mm/Btu per hour natural gas/propane-fired flue gas reheat burner, on seven 11.56 mm/Btu per hour natural gas/propane-fired boilers (and possibly on an eighth such boiler which is yet to be constructed) associated with a paper machine (Paper Machine No. 1) at a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The proposed SCR system is intended to ensure that the NOx emissions from the boilers will comply with the emission limits established in Plan Approval 18-315-001 (issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) on August 20, 2004, under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, the New Source Review (NSR) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217 and the best available technology provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The respective NOx emission limits are 15 parts per million, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, one hour average, 1.93 pounds per hour and 8.45 tons per 12-consecutive month period.
The Department's review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed SCR system should be capable of ensuring compliance with the 15 ppm NOx emission limitation as well as with the revised hourly and 12 consecutive month period emission limitations of 1.69 pounds and 7.40 tons the Department proposes to establish for the boilers as a result of a proposed SCR system design which will, at any given time, accommodate only seven of the eight possible boilers to be associated with Paper Machine No. 1. The Department also proposes to similarly adjust the allowable hourly SOx emission limitation and allowable hourly and 12-consecutive month period CO, VOC and PM, including PM10 emission limitations for the boilers. These adjustments will result in decreases of 3.21, .22 and .27 ton per 12-consecutive month period in the allowable CO, VOC and PM/PM10 emissions from the boilers.
The use of a SCR system will result in the emission of a new air contaminant, ammonia. The ammonia emissions are not expected to be greater than 10 ppm, dry volume basis at 15% oxygen. The Department has determined that this level of emission complies with the BAT provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Based on the finding discussed, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the SCR system on the boilers associated with Paper Machine No. 1.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. Only seven of the eight boilers potentially associated with Paper Machine No. 1 shall be operated at any given time following the installation of the SCR system.
2. The burner incorporated in the SCR system shall be fired on natural gas or propane only.
3. The temperature of the boiler flue gas at the inlet to the catalyst incorporated in the SCR system shall be maintained between 400° and 500°F at any time any of the eight boilers are operating unless none of the eight boilers are being exhausted to the SCR system.
4. The SCR system shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record the temperature of the flue gas at the inlet of the catalyst as well as the ammonia injection rate and the boilers shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record their combined steam load. Records generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
5. Following installation of the SCR system, the SCR system may be bypassed and the boilers exhausted directly to atmosphere only during periods of scheduled SCR system maintenance when the boilers are operating at low steam demand or during emergencies to prevent unsafe conditions. The NOx emission limitation, however, remains applicable at all times.
6. The ammonia emissions from the exhaust of the SCR system shall not exceed 10 ppm, dry volume basis at 15% oxygen.
7. Following the installation of the SCR system, the NOx emissions from the boilers, measured at the outlet of SCR system if the SCR system is in use and measured at the outlet of the boilers if the SCR system is not in use, shall not exceed 15 ppm, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, one hour average, 1.69 pounds per hour, and 7.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the CO emissions shall not exceed 100 ppm, dry volume basis at 3% oxygen, 6.48 pounds per hour and 28.37 tons in any 12 consecutive month period, the VOC emissions shall not exceed .45 pound per hour and 1.97 tons in any 12 consecutive month period, the SOx emissions shall not exceed .054 pound per hour and .24 ton in any 12-consecutive month period and the PM emissions (including PM10) shall not exceed .59 pound per hour and 2.58 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
8. Within 120 days of completion of installation of the SCR system, the permittee shall perform NOx CO and VOC stack testing on the exhaust of the SCR system while the boilers are operating at their normal maximum rate of production as well as on the exhaust of the boilers when the SCR system is not being used and the boilers are operating at the maximum steam load considered by the permittee to be the ''low steam load'' at which the boilers will operate during scheduled SCR maintenance. A test protocol shall be submitted to the Department at least 60 days prior to the performance of this testing.
The permittee shall additionally perform such other stack testing as may be required to calibrate the SCR system or which may be deemed necessary by the Department to determine compliance with any emission limitation contained herein or in Plan Approval 18-315-001.
9. Within 120 days of completion of installation of the SCR system, and at least annually thereafter, the permittee shall calibrate the system in accordance with procedures which have been approved by the Department to ensure that the NOx and ammonia emission rates will not exceed the NOx and ammonia limitations specified at any boiler steam load or ammonia injection rate. A protocol for performing this calibration shall be submitted to the Department at least 60 days in advance of each occurrence of calibration.
10. Comprehensive accurate records shall be maintained of the following during each period of scheduled SCR system maintenance during which the boilers are exhausted directly to atmosphere:
a. The date and time the maintenance was commenced.
b. The date and time the maintenance was completed.
c. The combined boiler steam load. This information is to be recorded at least once per hour for the duration of the maintenance period.

Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483.

For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site is located at the intersection of River Hill Road and Malerie Lane in Forward Township, Allegheny County.
The Site consists of approximately 30,000 cubic yards of ash that was dumped into a ravine on the property in the 1940's. The purpose of the deposition of the ash material is unknown, but it may have been used as fill material. On January 25, 2005, several tons of this ash slid into the channel of Perry Mills Run below. The slide resulted in blockage of the stream channel, the flooding of Rostosky Ridge Road and nearby residences and the deposition of ash in the affected area. In January of 2005 the Department funded a response to relocate the stream channel to prevent undercutting the waste pile and to remove heavy ash deposits along Rostosky Ridge Road.
The ash pile continues to present an eminent and substantial threat to the environment and to the public at large. The slide resulted in the waste pile having a 40 to 50 foot high near-vertical face wall of questionable stability. The pile's current condition poses the likelihood that an additional failure could occur that would release additional ash to the air, surface water and surrounding community.
The objective of this response action is to remove the human health threats associated with the ash pile by excavating the ash and removing the ash offsite to an approved disposal facility.
The following response actions were considered:
1. No Action: This alternative would involve no response by the Department to stabilize or cover the ash slide slope.
2. Removal and offsite disposal of the ash and stabilizing the slope: This alternative involves excavating into the existing slope and removing the ash to be taken offsite for proper disposal. The slope remaining after the ash is removed will be graded, mulched and seeded to stabilize it. Prior to the work, engineering studies will be done to determine the most effective method of stabilizing the area. Monitoring and maintenance of the Site will take place for at least 1 year after seeding. Reseeding will be done, as needed, to maintain a stabilizing growth of vegetation, and repairs would be made of any areas of erosion or instability.
3. Removal and onsite disposal of ash and stabilizing slope with borrow material: This alternative involves excavating into the existing slope and removal of ash from this excavation and from the base of the slope for temporary storage. Borrow material would be removed from another area on the property to be placed, compacted and graded to design specifications on the slope to stabilize it. The slope would be seeded and mulched. The temporarily stored ash would be placed in the excavated borrow area on the property, covered with soil, seeded, and mulched. Prior to the work, engineering studies will be done to determine the most effective method of stabilizing the area. Monitoring and maintenance of the Site will take place for at least 1 year after seeding. Reseeding will be done, as needed, to maintain a stabilizing growth of vegetation and repair any areas of erosion or instability.
The Department has determined that alternative No. 2 is the most protective of human health and environment and has begun work at the site to prepare to remove the ash to an offsite disposal facility. This work is being conducted as an emergency response under section 501(g) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(g)).
This notice is being provided under section 505(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for pubic review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's regional office at 400 Waterfront Drive in Pittsburgh and is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will open for comment from January 7, 2006, to April 7, 2006. Persons may submit written comments to the record during this time only by sending them to Terry Goodwald, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments for inclusion in the administrative record at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on February 9, 2006, at 7:30 p.m. at the William Penn Elementary School, 392 William Penn Road, Forward Township. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Helen Humphreys before 12 p.m. on February 9, 2006, by telephone at (412) 442-4183 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
