General Plan Approval and
General Operating Permit
BAQ-GPA/GP-2
Storage Tanks for Volatile Organic LiquidsThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to issue general plan approvals and operating permits for storage tanks for volatile organic liquids Storage Tank General Permit). This general plan approval and operating permit, authorized under section 6.1(f) of the Air Pollution Control Act, will apply to certain stationary storage tanks with a rated capacity of 2,000 gallons or greater which store volatile organic liquids as defined in 40 CFR 60.111b with a storage vapor pressure of 11.1 psia or less. The general plan approval and operating permit was designed for many of the storage tanks found in gasoline distribution facilities, petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities in the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry (SOCMI). It allows for quick approval of standard above ground tank replacement. It does not attempt to cover every possible tank installation or regulatory requirement.
The proposed general plan approval and operating permit contains conditions which prescribe applicable performance standards, emission limits, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. It is based largely on Pennsylvania storage tank regulations, 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.56 and 127.57, and on Federal New Source Performance Standards for tanks, 40 CFR 60, Subparts K, Ka and Kb. It does not attempt to reproduce those standards in all cases. It does not exempt an applicant from obtaining all other necessary tank permits from Federal, State or local authorities.
The general plan approval and operating permit considers the application of best available technology (BAT) for the distant future. In general, small storage tanks larger than 2,000 gallons in capacity will be expected to use conservation vests regardless of the vapor pressure of the stored liquid. Tanks larger than 40,000 gallons will be expected to employ a floating roof, either internal or external. If an applicant does not agree with the implied BAT in the general plan approval and operating permit, the regular plan approval application can be filed as required under 25 Pa. Code § 127.11. The regular application allows for case by case BAT determinations with the only penalty being that of a longer processing time.
Vapor recovery systems are sophisticated control devices compared to conservation vents and floating roofs. The Department will still require a regular plan approval for the installation of a vapor recovery systems. The only exemption is for replacement tanks where the Department had previously approved the control and its installation.
Many tanks store hazardous organic compounds. Major facilities which emit 10 tons per year of a hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year of combined hazardous air pollutants, compounds are subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). At this time, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not written standards for all the major sources of hazardous air pollutants. This general plan approval and operating permit has therefore been limited to facilities which are not major emitters of hazardous air pollutants or who are regulated under the provisions of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories established under section 112 of the Federal Clean Air Act and promulgated under 40 CFR 63, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories, Subparts F, G and CC. These Subparts are for the synthetic organic chemical manufacturing industry and for petroleum refineries.
Any tank approved under this general plan approval and operating permit is required to employ maximum achievable control technology (MACT). Existing tanks using this general plan approval and operating permit must meet the implementation schedules included under the appropriate Subparts listed above.
Other source categories not covered above must still file regular plan approvals and operating permit applications until such time as the Department revises this general permit or develops new a general plan approval and operating permit for other source categories.
Prior to constructing or operating storage tanks under the Storage Tank General Permit, the owner or operator must notify the Department and receive prior written approval from the Department before commencing construction or operation of the affected storage tank. Notification of the facility's intent to use the general permit and plan approval must be submitted on a form provided by the Department. Storage tanks operating under this general permit shall comply with the terms and conditions of the general plan approval and general operating permit.
The Storage Tank General Permit may not be used to construct a source that would be subject to the requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D (relating to prevention of significant deterioration) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E (relating to new source review).
The Storage Tank General Permit will be issued for a term of 5 years. The Department proposes to establish application and permit renewal fees as follows:
(a) $250 during the 1995-1999 calendar years.
(b) $300 during the 2000-2004 calendar years.
(c) $375 beginning in the calendar year 2005.
Annual administrative fees will not be charged. Within 30 days of the expiration date of the general plan approval and general operating permit, the permittee must renew the general permit if the facility intends to continue to operate tanks under the Storage Tank General Permit.
A complete copy of the Storage Tank General Permit for storage tanks may be obtained by contacting Kimberly Maneval, Division of Permits, Bureau of Air Quality Control, 12th Floor Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, telephone (717) 787-9256. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service, 1 (800) 654-5984. Internet users can access a copy of the general permit at http:\\www.dep.state.pa.us.
The Department requests written comments on the proposed general plan approval and operating permit. Notice and opportunity for comment will also be provided to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and the States of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections to John F. Slade, Chief, Division of Permits, Bureau of Air Quality Control, 12th Floor Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-9256. The Department will also consider written requests that a public hearing be held concerning this proposed general plan approval and operating permit. Public comments must be submitted to the Department within 45 days of the date of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments received by facsimile will not be accepted.
Registered and Certified Emission Reduction Credits
The following emission reduction credits (ERCs) have been approved, registered and certified by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. An ERC is a surplus, permanent, quantifiable and Federally enforceable emissions reduction used to offset emission increases of the following criteria pollutants: oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), PM-10, particulate, carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb) and oxides of sulfur (SOx).
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.209, the Department has established a computerized registry system to provide for the registration, certification and tracking of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, the Department reviews and approves ERC registry applications which meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. Certified ERCs may be used for the following purposes: (1) To satisfy new source review (NSR) offset ratio requirements; (2) To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities; or (3) To sell or trade the ERCs to major facilities to offset proposed increases in emissions of criteria pollutants from proposed new or modified major facilities.
The ERCs shown below expressed in tons per year (tpy) satisfy the applicable requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.

Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plans for:
Metropolitan Edison Company, Portland Generating Station, Upper Mt. Bethel Township, Northampton County.
Bethlehem Structural Products Corporation, Bethlehem Plant, City of Bethlehem, Northampton County.
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve RACT 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 approvals for the facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into operating permits and plan approvals for the facilities and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
Metropolitan Edison Company, Portland Generating Station
Metropolitan Edison Company operates a stream generating station identified as the Portland Generating Station. The main sources, Units 1 and 2 have been previously issued RACT Plan Approval No. 48-0006A. The proposed RACT plans serve as a revision to the RACT Plan Approval No. 48-0006A. The revisions to the RACT are to delete the daily and annual heat input limitations for both Units 1 and 2 along with the daily NOx emission limits for both units due to the purchase of Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) for the operation of Unit 5 at the Portland Generating Station. The following is the summary of the preliminary nitrogen oxides (NOx) RACT determination for these sources as the result of the RACT Plan Approval No. 48-0006A:

Bethlehem Structural Products Corporation operates sources known as Coke Making. These sources have previously been issued RACT Operating Permit No. 48-0013. The proposed RACT plans serve as a revision to the RACT Operating Permit No. 48-0013. The revisions are to delete the NOx continuous emission monitor for the Battery ''A'' combustion stack since the Department has determined the source is a process and does not require a continuous emission monitor; and, a revised RACT for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for coke pushing operations and for the coal chemical process sources. The revised RACT for the coal chemical process sources will result in the approval of Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) of VOCs from these sources. The following is the summary of the preliminary nitrogen oxides (NOx) RACT determination for the Coke Making sources as the result of the RACT Operating Permit No. 48-0013:

Location:
Blue Mountain Ski Area, on the east side of S. R. 2009, 1,800 feet south of intersection with S. R. 2006. Lower Towamensing Township, Carbon County.
Project Description:
This proposal modifies the approval granted for this project by the Department on March 3, 1995. The scope of the project remains the same, however, the location of the sewage treatment plant and discharge point have been changed.
Blue Mountain Ski Area is proposing to construct a ski lodge at the base of Blue Mountain, Lower Towamensing Township, Carbon County, PA. The total property area is approximately 1,050 acres.
The ski area has an existing top of the mountain ski lodge which is served by an existing in-ground septic system. The highest daily recorded flow meter reading for the top of the mountain ski lodge is 25,000 gpd. The National Ski Patrol building is served by an in-ground septic system with a capacity of 1,000 gpd. The ski area operates from December to April.
The proposed ski lodge is to be located on the east side of S. R. 2009, 1,800 feet south of the intersection with S. R. 2006. The ski lodge will have a ski rental area, ticket sales area, offices, bathrooms, changing areas, kitchen and dining area, bar, club rooms, ski supplies store and ski school lounge. The proposed commercial facility is expected to generate sewage flows of 23,000 gpd or 57.5 EDUs. The flow for the proposed ski lodge is projected to be 22,582 gpd.
Sewers will be installed to collect sewage from the existing ski lodge and National Ski Patrol building at the top of the mountain and from the proposed base of the mountain ski lodge. The existing in-ground septic systems will be abandoned. The total flow for the property is estimated to be 50,000 gpd. The proposed sewage treatment plant will be designed to accommodate 50,000 gpd or 125 EDUs.
The proposed discharge point for the treatment plant will be the Buckwa Creek, approximately 1,500 feet upstream from its confluence with the Aquashicola Creek.
Water supply will be provided by wells on-site.
Plan revision approval granted March 13, 1996 under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.1--750.20).

Notice of Settlement
In the matter of: Stonebank Property, Exton, Chester County, PA
Relating to: Foote Mineral Site, Exton, Chester County, PA
The Department of Environmental Protection, under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), hereby gives notice that it has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) with the Key West Connection Corp. (KWCC) associated with the purchase of the Stonebank Property in Exton, Chester County, PA.
The Stonebank Property is located across Swedesford Road from the Foote Mineral Site, a National Priority List Superfund Site in Exton, PA. Environmental investigations have revealed that groundwater contamination from the Foote Mineral Site has migrated beneath the Stonebank Property. KWCC, the prospective purchaser of the Stonebank Property, is not presently a responsible person with regard to contamination from the Foote Mineral Site. KWCC has resolved any potential liability to the United States which may be associated with the purchase of the Stonebank Property through a similar prospective purchaser agreement.
Through the PPA, KWCC would resolve any potential liability to the Department and become eligible for protection from contribution claims relating to the Foote Mineral Site that may stem from the purchase and ownership of the Stonebank Property. Under the terms of the PPA, KWCC will remit certain response costs to the Department, provide access to the Department, cooperate with any response actions, and agree not to exacerbate any contamination from the Foote Mineral Site.
This Notice is being provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will provide for a 60 day public comment period on the proposed PPA from the date of publication of this Notice. Under section 1113 of HSCA, the PPA will become final when the Department files its response to any significant public comments received during the comment period. The PPA may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Department's Southeast Field Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Interested persons may contact Thomas Sheehan at (610) 832-6149 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (610) 832-6300. Persons may submit written comments to Thomas Sheehan at the above address.

Small Water Systems Regionalization Grant Program
The Department of Environmental Protection's Technical Assistance Center for Small Water Systems is accepting applications under the Small Water Systems Regionalization Grant Program. This grant program provides grants to eligible applicants to assess the feasibility of the formation of a regionalized water system. The proposed regionalized water system must involve at least one small water system (a system serving 3,300 people or fewer).
Eligible applicants include any community water supplier, county, township, borough or authority to which a small water system has issued a letter of intent to develop a water system regionalization study.
Grant awards are limited to 75% of all approved project costs related to the water system regionalization study or $75,000, whichever is less. The grantee must provide local share in the form of matching funds or in-kind services at a minimum of 25% of the total project costs.
The application period runs from May 1 to July 31, 1996. Based on the availability of funding, applicants that submit a final work plan and budget which are approved by DEP will be given preference to receive a grant based on a first-come, first-served basis.
