    Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing

       Approval of Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) Plans for:  U.G.I. Utilities, Inc., Hunlock Township, Luzerne County, PA.

       The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve RACT plans and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the U.G.I. Utilities, Inc.

       The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in RACT approvals for this facility to comply with current regulations.

       The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.

       The main source in U.G.I. facility are three boilers: No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8. The following is the summary of preliminary RACT determination for this facility:

       A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the above proposed Operating Permit and the proposed SIP revisions. The hearing will be held on December 4, 1996, at 1 p.m. in the conference room at Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast Regional Office, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

       Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Thomas A. DiLazaro, Hearing Examiner at (717) 826-2511 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes and two written copies of the oral testimony. 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 accommodations, should do so by contacting Richard Shudak at (717) 826-2060, or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

       Those unable to attend the hearing, but who wish to comment, should provide written comments to Thomas A. DiLazaro, Program Manager, DEP, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790. Comments should be submitted within 30 days of the date of this publication notice.

       Approval of Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) Plans for:  Procter & Gamble Paper Products Co., Washington Township, Wyoming County, PA.

       The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve an amended RACT plan and proposes amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company.

       The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in RACT approvals for this facility to comply with current regulations.

       The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into a RACT Operating Permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.

       A re-evaluation of emissions has determined that VOC emissions from the wastewater treatment plant should be amended to 348 tons per year from the previous estimate of 276 tons per year. Although control costs will decrease, controls remain economically infeasible. RACT for the wastewater treatment has been determined to be operational as presently designed.

       Technical problems encountered in the routing of the pulp plant vents to the No. 4 boiler have made this control option economically infeasible. RACT for the pulp plant vents has been determined to be operational as presently designed.

       Installation and testing of the auxiliary boiler, steam injection to the turbine, and low NOx burners in the 4M paper machine have been completed and determined to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of Plan Approval 66-0001A and Compliance Permit CP-66-0001A. These sources will be incorporated into the RACT Operating Permit.

       A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the above proposed Operating Permit and the proposed SIP revisions.
