The air contaminant emissions from Source IDs P104 and P105 will be controlled by independent Miratech model SP-RESIGA-72S3624x41-20x2/30-XH4B0 oxidation catalysts (IDs C104 and C105). The air contaminant emissions from Source ID P302 will be controlled by an 11.45 million Btu per hour enclosed flare (Control Device ID C302). This is a State Only facility for which an operating permit has not been issued.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application submitted by EQT Gathering, LLC, indicates that the sources will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the particulate matter emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the sulfur oxide emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 and the visible emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. Additionally, the Department has determined that the proposed engines satisfy best available technology (BAT) requirements, under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 as well as the Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines specified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ. Under the requirements of BAT, the compressor engines are restricted to emit emissions for the following pollutants at a rate above; 0.50 g/bhp-hr for nitrogen oxide (NOx), 0.14 g/bhp-hr for carbon monoxide (CO), 0.23 g/bhp-hr for volatile organic compounds (VOC, expressed as NMNEHC), and 0.04 g/bhp-hr for formaldehyde. To demonstrate compliance with these limitations, EQT Gathering, LLC will be required to conduct EPA reference method testing on each engine-compressor's exhaust for NOx, CO, VOC, and formaldehyde emissions. EQT Gathering, LLC will be required to perform periodic testing of each engine, every 2,500 hours of operation to verify continuous compliance with the NOx and CO emission limitations. Continuous compliance demonstration will include monitoring of operational parameters of the catalyst. The compressor-engines are also required to use only pipeline quality natural gas as fuel for operation. The plan approval, if issued, will subsequently be incorporated into the state only operating permit via an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date.
Based on the findings above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval with annual emission restrictions for all sources at the Tioga Compressor Station as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to verify compliance with the annual emission restrictions.
In addition to the emission limitations above, the following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in Plan Approval 59-00025B to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Initial and subsequent testing at the exhaust of each engine-compressors using Department-approved methods on an approximate annual basis.
Monitoring requirement on the inlet and outlet exhaust temperature and differential pressure of catalysts to demonstrate continuous compliance with the destruction efficiency of the catalyst.
Recordkeeping requirement for engine-compressors' gas usage and operational hours including the records of all required monitoring.
Work practice requirement to construct and operate in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and good air pollution control practices, minimize blowdowns and limit the emission of malodors to level undetectable outside the property.
The potential air contaminate emissions from all sources at the Tioga Compressor Station will be 74.36 tons per year (tpy) for NOx, 26.23 tpy for CO, 38.83 tpy for VOC, 0.29 tpy for sulfur oxide, 4.37 tpy for particulate matter (PM) including PM-10 and PM-2.5, 4.94 tpy for formaldehyde, and 6.88 tpy for hazardous air pollutants (HAP).
A person may oppose the proposed plan approval, or may provide the Department with additional information to consider in its review, or may request a public hearing, by filing a written protest with the Department at the address listed above. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit by the permit number listed above and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.

10-001O: AK Steel Corporation—Butler Works (1 Armco Drive, Butler, PA 16045) for modifications to Plan Approval 10-001M, at their facility in Butler Township, Butler County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Plan Approval 10-001O to AK Steel Corporation for modifications to Plan Approval 10-001M at their Butler Works facility located at 1 Armco Drive, Butler Township, Butler County. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the facility's Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
Plan Approval No. 10-001O is for modifications to Plan Approval 10-001M, which was issued by the Department on February 22, 2010 for construction of the Melt Shop Modernization Project, consisting of the #5 Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), Ladle Metallurgical Facility (LMF), and various ancillary sources. On March 22, 2010, AK Steel filed a Notice of Appeal with the Pa. Environmental Hearing Board with regards to Plan Approval 10-001M. Under this Notice of Appeal, and ongoing discussions between the Department and AK Steel, the Department has developed Plan Approval 10-001O as a proposed modification to Plan Approval 10-001M, which addresses a number of the issues raised by the appeal and subsequent discussions between AK Steel and the Department.
Proposed Plan Approval 10-001O will reestablish carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission limits associated with the #1/2 Baghouse, through a three (3) year program of stack testing. Final limits will be based on values observed during stack testing, and will not exceed the values used by AK Steel in the PSD/NSR netting analysis previously performed in conjunction with Plan Approval 10-001M (0.05 lb NOx/ton steel produced, 1.0 lb CO/ton steel produced, 50 tpy NOx, 1000 tpy CO). Additionally, the Plan Approval authorizes a 10.8 ton per year increase in allowable emissions of particulate matter; increases short-term VOC emission limits associated with operation of the existing #2 EAF; incorporates changes affecting the applicability of 40 CFR 60 Subpart AAa to the #2 EAF and AOD; control device mapping related to the #1/2 Baghouse; permit language related to production rate requirements for stack testing; requirements related to the simultaneous operation of the #2 and #5 EAFs; monitoring requirements related to natural gas consumption for various sources; monitoring requirements for new and existing cooling towers; recordkeeping requirements for paved and unpaved roads; testing requirements for truck dump stations; and compliance dates for various conditions. The Department has determined that the proposed changes are of minor significance with regards to the PSD/NSR netting analysis previously performed by AK Steel in conjunction with Plan Approval 10-001M.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY PERMITS The Department has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1—721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 document to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following plans and reports:

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

Code Chapter 92a to issue the NPDES permit to meet the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1387) and Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001).
i. Chemical additives will be evaluated in the review of the NPDES permit application for the Project. Use of chemical additives will be limited to the maximum safe usage rate for the chemical based on toxicity levels that will not be inimical or harmful to the water uses to be protected or to human, animal, plant or aquatic life.
ii. The Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy nutrient monitoring and load limits will be evaluated in the review of the NPDES application for the Project. Use of chemical additives that are measurable in effluent discharge and contain nitrogen or phosphorus could require nutrient monitoring or load limits in the permit.
iii. The Final Susquehanna Rivers Metals Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), dated February 19, 2009 addresses three primary metals: total iron, total aluminum, and total manganese, which are associated with abandoned mine drainage in the watershed. The inclusion of monitoring requirements and/or permit limits for these TMDL metals in the NPDES permit will be determined during the review of the NPDES permit application for the Project.
iv. Heated wastewater discharges for the proposed facility will be evaluated in the review of the NPDES permit application for the Project. The inclusion of monitoring requirements and/or thermal effluent limitations limits will be determined during the review of the NPDES permit application for the Project.
b. PPL Bell Bend, LLC shall obtain and comply with a Water Quality Management Permit for construction and operation of industrial wastewater treatment facilities associated with the Project from PADEP in accordance with the requirements of Section 308 of Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.308.
c. PPL Bell Bend, LLC shall obtain and comply with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Individual Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Construction Activities at the Project.
d. PPL Bell Bend LLC shall obtain and comply with the terms and conditions of a Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit for the construction, operation and maintenance of all water obstructions and encroachments associated with the project in accordance with Section 6 of the Pennsylvania Dams Safety and Encroachments Act, 32 P. S. § 693.6.
e. The location, design, construction and capacity of the cooling water intake structure shall reflect the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact in accordance with Section 316(b) of the federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1326). The proposed cooling water intake structure is subject to requirements in the Phase I Rule for New Facilities (40 CFR 122.21(r)(1)(i), 40 CFR 125.80—125.89) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92a.34. The proposed cooling water intake structure shall employ closed-cycle recirculating cooling and dual flow traveling screens and shall maintain a maximum through-screen velocity of 0.5 feet per second to minimize adverse environmental impacts due to impingement mortality and entrainment. Modified fine mesh screens and a fish return shall be evaluated and submitted as part of the NPDES permit application to determine the technical feasibility and site-specific effectiveness of further entrainment reduction at the cooling water intake structure.
f. PPL Bell Bend, LLC elected to conduct special project-specific aquatic studies, as provided for under Susquehanna River Basin Commission's Policy 2012-01 Low Flow Protection Policy Related to Withdrawal Approvals, to support alternate passby flow requirements. PPL Bell Bend, LLC shall obtain and comply with all conditions of a docket approval issued by the Susquehanna River Basin Commission pursuant to its Project Review Regulations, codified at 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 806—808, including, but not limited to, those related to passby flow requirements and consumptive use mitigation.
