Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Operating Permit
Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). A MSW landfill is considered an existing MSW landfill if the facility began construction, modification or reconstruction before May 30, 1991; or received waste on or after November 8, 1987; or has additional capacity available for the future deposition of waste control of landfill gases from existing landfills using best demonstrated technology.
The Commonwealth's State Plan for implementing the EG was submitted to the EPA on July 1, 1997. In accordance with the 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will enforce the requirements of the EG through the issuance of Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPS) to designated MSW landfills. Therefore, in accordance with the plan, the operating permit issued to the landfills identified will be revised to incorporate the requirements of the EG. This revised permit will serve as the enforcement mechanism for the EG 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 Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the persons submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
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 any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.

Proposed revision to the State Implementation Plan for oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds and notice of public hearing
On June 15, 1995, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) conducted a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposed nitrogen oxides Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determination and proposed operating permit issuance for various combustion sources (boilers, and the like) owned and operated by American Home Foods, Inc. (now I.H.F.P., Inc.) in Milton Borough, Northumberland County. The Department subsequently issued an operating permit, identified as OP-49-0010, to American Home Foods, Inc. (now I.H.F.P., Inc.) on July 7, 1995.
I.H.F.P., Inc. found, via stack testing, that it was unable to meet the nitrogen oxides emission limit of .15 pound of nitrogen oxides per million BTU of heat input which was established in Operating Permit OP-49-0010 for one of its combustion sources, a 116 million BTU per hour natural gas and #2 fuel oil-fired boiler identified as Boiler #7, while that source was burning its standby or backup fuel, #2 fuel oil. This failure is attributed to the use of estimated nitrogen oxides emission rate data in the company's RACT plan rather than empirical data which was unavailable at the time the plan was submitted to the Department.
I.H.F.P., Inc. has now identified the respective boiler's true nitrogen oxides emission potential while burning #2 fuel oil and has requested a revision of Operating Permit OP-49-0010 to reflect this true potential. After evaluating the company's request, the Department has made a preliminary determination that the proposed revision should be approved.
The revised nitrogen oxides emission limit to which the Department has preliminarily determined Boiler #7 should be subject when burning #2 fuel oil is .20 pound of nitrogen oxides per million BTU of heat input. The Department also proposes to limit the respective boiler from operating on #2 fuel oil for more than 500 hours in any 12 consecutive month period.
If approved, the revised nitrogen oxides emission limit and the 500-hour operating restriction will be incorporated into a revised operating permit and submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed revised operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on November 19, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the PA Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 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 per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. 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 to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to David Aldenderfer, Air Quality Environmental Program Manager, Pennsylvania DEP, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448. Comments should be submitted by December 4, 1997.
All pertinent documents are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling (717) 327-3693.
Public Hearing
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public hearing on Thursday, November 13, 1997, at 10 a.m. in the Monongahela Conference Room at its Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh.
The hearing is to take testimony concerning the Department's intent to issue NOx and VOC Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) to Koppers Industries, Inc. ERCs result from the shutdown and dismantling of four combustion units (boilers) at the Monessen Boiler House in Westmoreland County (ER-65-853). Creditable emissions from the shutdown amount to 129 tpy NOx and 1.6 tpy VOC.
The Department also intends to take testimony concerning our intent to issue a Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) Operating Permit 65-000-853 to Koppers Industries, Inc. for the Monessen Coke Plant in Westmoreland County. The Department intends to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) to include these proposed Operating Permit requirements. The facility is a major emitter of Nitrogen Oxides and Volatile Organic Compounds. RACT for this site has been determined to be operation and maintenance of all sources in conformance with manufacturer's specifications, guidelines and procedures and good air pollution control practices.
The Department will also take testimony concerning the RACT proposal submitted by Anchor Glass Container for Plant #5 located in Connellsville, Fayette County, PA. The proposed RACT Plan Approval (26-000-119) is for the immediate implementation of manual control of air-to-fuel ratios on Furnaces #1, #2 and #3 for a 15 % reduction in NOx emissions. Additionally, Anchor shall install Combustion Staging on Furnaces #1 and #2 by May 31, 1998, to reduce NOx emissions for these sources by approximately 50 %. RACT for all sources at Anchor's facility will include their operation and maintenance in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and accepted air pollution control practices.
Those wishing to present testimony during the hearing should contact the Community Relations Coordinator, Betsy Mallison, at (412) 442-4182 by November 12, 1997 to register. Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Betsy Mallison or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. Those who are unable to attend the hearing, but wish to comment, should provide written comments to Mark Wayner, Acting Chief, Title V Section, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Comment period is open for 30 days after the appearance of this public notice.
Copies of the ERC Application, the proposed ERC Registration, the RACT Proposal and the proposed RACT Operating Permit are available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Appointments for scheduling a review may be made by calling (412) 442-4000.
