REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) Public Hearing Reasonably Available Control Technology
and Emission Reduction CreditsCyprus Cumberland Resources Corporation and United Coaters (Centria) Ambridge Plant The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) reviewed the RACT plans and ERC application and made a preliminary determination to approve these plans and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above listed facilities.
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
Cyprus Cumberland Resources Corporation (Cyprus)
Cyprus chose a case-by-case approach to meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.92 for the thermal dryer, the frothing operations, solvent cleaning operation, storage tanks and fuel dispensing. Cyprus proposed low NOx burners as add-on controls for the thermal dryers as they were determined to be cost effective through a top-down analysis. Cyprus proposes there are no additional control technologies available for the frothing and degreasing operations. Cyprus proposes to meet the presumptive RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93 for all other sources at this facility.
Cyprus has applied for ERCs for the reduction of 64 tons/year of NOx and 15 tons/year of VOC emissions generated through the shutdown of the thermal dryer at the Cumberland Mine as provided for in 25 Pa. Code § 127.207(5)(I).
United Coaters (Centria) Ambridge Plant
The proposed RACT permit for the Ambridge Plant is for the application of presumptive RACT to the three Cleaver Brooks Steam Boilers, and the operation of an incinerator on the emissions from the coil coating operation. This incinerator will perform with an efficiency adequate to reduce the VOCs emitted from the coating materials employed to a level meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52. Based upon information supplied by United Coaters and the Department's analysis of that information, the current work practices in the cleanup and paint mixing areas limit solvent emissions to a level for which further environmental benefit will require expenditures beyond the RACT guidelines.
A public hearing will be held to receive comments on the RACT plan and ERC approval. The hearing date is April 8 for Cyprus Resources Corporation and for United Coaters (Centria) at the Department of Environmental Protection Island Conference Room, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh. Deadline to register to speak is April 6.
A 30-day comment period from the date of publication will exist for the submission of written comments.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety Request for Variance The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance from Cyprus Emerald Resources Corporation. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Matthew A. Bertovich by calling (724) 439-7469.
Summary of the Request: Cyprus Emerald Resources Corporation requested an increase in shelter hole distances to 150-foot centers for all mains development at the Emerald Mine.
The basis for the Bureau's approval can be summarized in the following statements:
1. Pedestrians will have the right-of-way. All vehicle operators must stop until workers are able to enter shelter hole.
2. Locomotives used to transport supplies or equipment must be of sufficient size (tonnage) to be able to stop their loads within a safe distance.
3. All vehicles will be operated at speeds that will allow controlled stops under prevailing track conditions.
4. Signs shall be posted stating the shelter hole spacing distance.
5. A means of identifying shelter hole locations shall be provided using a reflective indicator/marker which will be visible from along the track haulage travelway. Markers will be of standardized color and design.
6. Crosscuts which are used as shelter holes shall be maintained free of obstructions and debris, other than normal roof-to-ground supports. Clearance will be maintained for a depth of at least 15 feet and the entire width except for roof support.
7. Shelter holes will be maintained at all switch throws and doors.
8. Supply cars and equipment will be pulled by a locomotive in the direction of travel. When it is necessary to push nonpropelled (supply cars, and the like) track haulage equipment, it shall be done only from the last track switch. Trip lights shall be used on the end that does not have locomotive coupled.
9. Workers performing tasks, that is track repair, block repair, and the like, along track haulage roads shall be provided with flashing warning lights. These devices shall be placed in clear view of approaching haulage equipment, but as close as practicable to the work site.
10. All employes and persons entering the mine shall be trained concerning shelter hole procedure and safety precautions.
This approval is limited to a variance from the distance requirements for shelter holes contained in section 268(b) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. All other terms and requirements of section 268 shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the approved plan.

Hazle Township, Luzerne County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has completed its review of the Airport Road Act 537 Special Study (Special Study), dated July, 1997 and revised January, 1998 (received by the Department on January 13, 1998), with additional documentation dated October 13, 1997 (received by the Department on October 16, 1997), as prepared by Schumacher Engineering Inc., on behalf of Hazle Township.
The Department's review has found that the Special Study is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.
The Hazle Township Municipal Authority (Authority), on behalf of Hazle Township, proposes to implement Alternative No. 1 of the Special Study. Alternative No. 1 proposes the construction of a new wastewater collection and conveyance system to serve limited, specific portions of Hazle Township. The areas to be served by the proposed system are limited to those shown on Drawing No. 1 of the Special Study: the Village of Hollywood including the Woodcrest Estates Subdivision and Holly-Lynn Mobile Home Park, properties adjacent to a portion of the Airport Beltway (SR3026) from SR0309 west to the area of the Wal-Mart Super Center, properties adjacent to Old Airport Road (T-470) and Hess Road (T-499) and the Hazleton Municipal Airport. Construction of the proposed system will occur in two phases. Phase 1 will include all areas except for the Old Airport Road and Hazleton Municipal Airport Areas. Phase 2 will include only the Old Airport Road and Hazleton Municipal Airport Areas.
The wastewater collection and conveyance systems proposed will consist of approximately 13,300 lineal feet of gravity sewer lines and force main along with associated appurtenances. The conveyance system will also include the construction of a 460 gpm wastewater pumping station. The pump station's equipment will be housed in a 45 foot by 25 foot aboveground structure to be constructed along the Airport Beltway. The proposed pump station's force main will discharge its wastewater to an existing manhole located on Liberty Avenue in the Park Crest Subdivision located within Hazle Township. Wastewater will then be conveyed through existing collection and conveyance system lines to the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge.
Due to the project's construction, the Authority will abandon the existing Hollywood Pump Station. Wastewater from the Hollywood Collection System will be conveyed to the proposed pump station to be constructed adjacent to the Airport Beltway. The project's construction will also allow for the abandonment of the Holly-Lynn Mobile Home Park's Wastewater Treatment Facility. Several commercial establishments, including Lagana's Corporate Center, Affordable Dentures Inc., Rex TV and Appliance Inc, and the Hazleton Municipal Airport, which currently utilize holding tank facilities as their method of wastewater disposal, will be required to properly abandon their holding tanks and connect to the proposed wastewater collection system.
The proposed project will be financed through commercial and residential tapping fees, a capital contribution from the Authority's Capital Improvement Fund and a commercial bank loan obtained by the Authority.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a) (Act 537), and 25 Pa. Code Ch. 71, the Department will hold Hazle Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Special Study's chosen wastewater disposal alternative. Implementation of the Special Study's chosen wastewater disposal alternative must be performed within the time frames indicated in the Special Study's Schedule of Implementation.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Special Study must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
This approval covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the proposed construction project as it relates to Hazle Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Before construction of the proposed project may commence, the Authority must obtain a Part II--Water Quality Management Permit from the Department. A copy of the Special Study's approval correspondence must accompany the permit application when it is submitted to the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
