AIR POLLUTION Public Notice Notice of 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 and at 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.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits have 30 days to submit protests or comments. 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 to 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.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, April 21, 1998, beginning at 1 p.m. in the main floor conference room at the Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
The hearing is for the Department to accept testimony concerning its decision to approve, with conditions, a modification to Owens-Brockway Glass Containers, (Route 219 North, Brockway, PA 15824), Plant #19, Crenshaw, Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Operating Permit, No. OP 33-002. Owens-Brockway has applied to the Department, based on high maintenance and replacement costs, for revision of the operating permit, to remove the requirement for a NOx Continuous Emission Monitor (CEM). The CEM is used for showing compliance with NOx RACT emission limitations on Glass Melting Furnace A. Annual stack testing will be a condition of the revision, and will be required for NOx emission compliance monitoring.
The RACT Operating Permit was issued to meet the requirements under 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 (RACT), concerning the emissions of nitrous oxides (NOx), from various air contamination sources. The modified RACT proposal will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan. This facility is located in Jefferson County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. The revision incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for this facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facility and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the above proposed modified Operating Permit, and the proposed SIP revisions. The public hearing is scheduled on April 21, 1998, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

Sugarloaf Township, Conyngham Borough, Luzerne County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has completed its review of the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision (Plan Update) dated August 28, 1997 (received by the Department on October 6, 1997), with additional documentation dated: December 17, 1997 (received by the Department on December 22, 1997), December 29, 1997 (received by the Department on December 30, 1997) and January 28, 1998 (received by the Department on January 30, 1998) as prepared by George R. Nelson Associates.
The Department's review has found that the Plan Update is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. The approval of this Plan Update is conditioned upon ultimate compliance with the provisions of the History Code (37 Pa.C.S. § 507). The costs of conducting any required survey work related to compliance with the History Code must be included in the cost of the proposed sewerage facilities project. If recovery work or system redesign is required as a result of attaining compliance with the requirements of the PA Historical and Museum Commission, Sugarloaf Township must notify the Department immediately.
Sugarloaf Township proposes to implement Alternative No. 1 of the Plan Update. Alternative No. 1 proposes the installation of a new wastewater collection and conveyance system to serve 61 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) in the immediate Village of Sybertsville Area. The areas and structures to be served by the proposed system are shown on Drawing No. 94-00-D-08-SA found in Exhibit 10 of the Plan Update.
The wastewater collection system proposed will consist of approximately 4,935 linear feet of gravity and low-pressure sewer lines along with associated appurtenances. The conveyance system will include the construction of a wastewater pumping station and approximately 855 linear feet of 4" force main. The force main will convey the service area's wastewater to a tie-in point in the existing Sugarloaf Township/Conyngham Borough Authority's wastewater conveyance system. Wastewater will then be conveyed through the existing conveyance system's lines to the Conyngham Borough Authority's (Authority's) Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge.
Since the Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility is currently under a sewer connection prohibition, the 61 EDUs proposed to be connected must be accounted for from the sewer connection allocation available for Sugarloaf Township. Upon connection of the proposed Sybertsville system to the Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility, Sugarloaf Township and the Authority shall show, in the appropriate Quarterly Sewer Allocation Status Report, that the 61 EDUs have been deducted from the appropriate sewer connection allocation.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold Sugarloaf Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update's chosen wastewater disposal alternative. Implementation of the Plan Update's chosen wastewater disposal alternative must be performed within the timeframes indicated in the Plan Update's Schedule of Implementation.
Please be advised that any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update 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 Sugarloaf Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Before construction of the proposed project may commence, the Township must obtain a Part II--Water Quality Management Permit from the Department. Please remember to include a copy of this approval correspondence with the permit application when it is submitted to the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
Plan Disapproval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (717) 826-2553.
Rice Township, Luzerne County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has reviewed the Prospect Road Area Act 537 Special Study (Special Study), dated June 1996 and revised July 1997 (received by the Department on September 10, 1997), as submitted by Milnes Engineering, Inc., on behalf of Rice Township.
During the review of an Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update or Special Study, the Department must ensure that various, relevant issues are addressed in both an adequate and comprehensive manner. The Special Study, currently under review for the Prospect Road Area of Rice Township, continues to have several issues which have not been adequately addressed.
The major issue which remains to be adequately addressed is:
The user costs for the proposed Prospect Road Area Sewer Construction Project (Project) appear to be unusually expensive in comparison to wastewater collection system projects for similar communities. The Township's current proposal indicates that homeowners have the choice of two financing options: either purchasing or financing a grinder pump. If the homeowner initially purchases the grinder pump, the initial cost is estimated to be $5,375 per household with the monthly user fee being approximately $40 per household. If the homeowner elects to finance the purchase of the grinder pump, the initial cost is estimated to be $2,875 with the monthly user fee being approximately $70 per household. Under either of these scenarios, the estimated user costs are high. If the grinder pump is purchased upfront, the initial cost is high. If the grinder pump is financed, the monthly user fee is high.
This project is not acceptable because there are other less costly alternatives which are easier to administer and which provide a more comprehensive approach to water quality management and wastewater disposal in the Prospect Road Area. On several occasions within the past year, the Mountaintop Area Joint Sanitary Authority (MAJSA) proposed other more cost-effective, alternative projects which they agreed to both administer and construct. The most recent proposal was forwarded by the Department to Rice Township on February 10, 1998. Also, the Township can expand the scope of the proposed project to address the present and future sewer needs of the Prospect Road Area in a manner that would further decrease costs.
In addition to the major issue listed above, the following questions/comments must be adequately addressed by Rice Township before the Department may approve any subsequent Special Study. The questions/comments listed are arranged according to the order specified in the Department's Act 537 Plan Content and Environmental Assessment Checklist (Checklist). Listing of the question or comment in this correspondence does not limit or prevent the Department from requesting further information or clarification based on the responses supplied or additional information obtained, in future submissions, to answer the questions/comments provided:
Completeness Checklist
Item No. 7--Item 3, of the Schedule of Implementation, and its subsequent items, should be based upon the approval date of the Special Study by the Department. A Part II--Water Quality Management Permit Application will not be accepted by the Department for review until after the appropriate Official Sewage Facilities Plan Approval is issued. The implementation schedule in the Special Study must be revised, in an appropriate manner, to address this issue.
General Plan Checklist
Item No. III.B.2--The Smolenak Residence, located at 349 Prospect Road, was previously identified by the Department as having a malfunctioning onlot wastewater disposal system. This Special Study indicates that a possible malfunction currently exists at this residence. Given the Department's and the Township's observations of the onlot system and the severe soil limitations for onlot wastewater disposal systems in the are of this residence, this structure should be required to connect to the central sewer system currently available in front of the property.
The Department has also learned that the owners of the Davis and Haydt properties (located at 331 and 319 Prospect Road respectively), are considering connecting to the MAJSA line located in the vicinity of these residences. The Davis property is identified in the Special Study as a possible malfunction (lush grass over the drainfield with no wet spots). The Haydt property's onlot system was not inspected as part of the Special Study. The desire of these properties' owners, to connect to the existing sewer system, must be considered when developing a comprehensive solution which addresses the poor physical conditions and onlot system problems in the Prospect Road Area.
Item No. VI.D&E--Please see the comments concerning the major issue remaining to be resolved earlier in this correspondence regarding the project scope/financing offer of the MAJSA.
Item No. VI.F.2.a--This item should be further addressed in the Special Study since both the Township's current proposal and the MAJSA proposal allow the option of not immediately connecting into the existing and proposed wastewater collection systems until an onlot wastewater disposal system malfunction occurs. Please indicate how often Rice Township will continue to inspect the Jacob's and other onlot wastewater disposal systems in the planning area to determine their malfunction status and insure that a public health hazard does not develop.
Item No. VI.C.2--Section V.A.1, found on page 12 of the Special Study, indicates that Rice Township will need to enact a mandatory connection ordinance to require the various properties on the north side of Prospect Road to connect to the central sewer system in the area. The Department disagrees with the Township's assertion that a new mandatory connection ordinance is required. A review of the Township's existing mandatory connection ordinance appears to indicate that it is worded in a fashion that its requirements apply to all portions of Rice Township accessible to a municipal, central sewer system.
Item No. VIII.A&B--This entire section, especially Item VIII.A.5 will need to be revised since it appears that MAJSA proposal has not been seriously evaluated (technically-considering the poor soils and age of the installed onlot systems in the area and financially) and considered.
Conclusions
Due to the deficiencies listed above, the Department hereby disapproves the Special Study comprised of the submissions listed in the first paragraph of this correspondence.
Rice Township has a continuing obligation, under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to revise its Official Sewage Facilities Plan to address existing and future sewage disposal needs in the vicinity of Prospect Road and provide for adequate sewage treatment facilities. The Department requests that Rice Township immediately take all actions necessary to revise its Official Sewage Facilities Plan in consideration of the above comments.
Over the past year, the Department has been working closely with both the municipal officials and the engineering consultant of Rice Township to ensure the development of a Special Study which addresses the current and future wastewater disposal needs of the Prospect Road Area in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner. On numerous occasions, the Department has informed municipal officials and the engineering consultant that the current proposal and its predecessors are unduly expensive in light of other available alternative projects. This position has been communicated by telephone, meetings at the Rice Township Municipal Building and Department correspondence dated March 13, 1997, May 30, 1997, July 3, 1997 and February 10, 1998.
In response to Rice Township's failure to address the deficiencies of the proposed project, the Department intends to initiate an enforcement action against Rice Township. This action will compel the Township to adequately address the wastewater disposal needs of the Prospect Road Area using a cost-effective and comprehensive wastewater disposal alternative which meets the requirements of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act.
