AIR QUALITY 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 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.

Weston, FL 33326Laboratory Availability of Revised NPDES Permit and Related Permit Handbooks for Municipal, Nonmunicipal and Industrial Wastewater Dischargers The Department of Environmental Protection's Process Improvement Team (PIT) comprised of individuals from public and private interests has completed review and proposed revisions to the Department's NPDES permit and developed two detailed explanatory NPDES Permit Handbooks to be distributed with all new and renewed NPDES permits.
A notice requesting public comments on the proposed permit revisions and handbooks was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on July 25, 1998 for a 30-day comment period. The Department requested comments on the following PIT proposed revisions and/or additions to NPDES documents.
1. NPDES Permit for Wastewater Discharges (3620-PM-WQ0003 Rev 10/98). Final draft of a one permit format system that will be used for municipal, nonmunicipal and industrial discharges. This new permit document will replace the current permit (3600-PM-WQ0003 Rev 8/95).
2. Permittee Handbook for POTW and Nonmunicipal Wastewater Dischargers. (2000-0300-005 Rev 10/98). This handbook contains information related to POTW dischargers.
3. Permittee Handbook for Industrial Wastewater Dischargers (2000-0300-006 Rev 10/98). This handbook contains information related to industrial dischargers.
Before publishing these documents, PIT made extensive efforts to carefully prepare and review them internally within the Department, EPA and some outside groups through a special NPDES Advisory Committee set up by SRBC under contract to the Department to help write the documents. In addition, PIT set up a display booth at the June 14--17, 1998, WEF/PWEA Annual Conference at Seven Springs, PA and distributed over 125 permits and handbooks to the conference attendees to provide exposure of these documents to municipal government officials and consultants.
The 30-day comment period ended on August 24, 1998. All comments received were reviewed and considered. Many useful suggestions and editorial changes have been incorporated. Several of the comments dealt with clarifying the terminology used in the revised permit or permit handbooks. The revised documents are simple, easy to read and understand while providing detailed explanations and regulatory citations within the permit handbooks.
The final permit documents package will be available for downloading from the Department's Web Site at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us. The documents are also available by contacting the appropriate Department Regional Office having jurisdiction over the county with the proposed discharge.
Implementation of New Permit Documents
Three training sessions are being scheduled for the Department central and field office staff on processing and use of the new permit documents. Use of the new documents will not begin until this training is completed. The tentative date for implementation of the new documents is January 1, 1999, with a full transition to the new forms by April 1, 1999.

The general permit was initially issued on February 4, 1994, and is scheduled to expire on February 4, 1999. The current general permit is valid until revised and issued in final after reviewing and addressing comments from this public notice.

The NOI and instructions have been reformatted to the standard of other general permits used by the Department. No technical or substantive changes have been made to the documents.
