Plan Approval Application and Operating Permit for a Portable Source No. AQ-SE-0001
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.632 the DEP intends to issue a Plan Approval and Operating Permit for a portable source to Glasgow, Inc., P. O. Box 1089, Glenside, PA 19038-1089 to construct a portable stone crushing plant and associated wet suppression system as described in the applicant's application of October 10, 1995. The plan approval and operating permit will allow the source to be relocated any where within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with 30 days prior notice to the Department. The duration of the operating permit is limited to 5 years but may be reissued.
Based on the information provided by the applicant's and DEP's own analysis, this plant will not emit in excess of 6.2 tons/yr of particulate at any site where it is located.
The plant is regulated under 25 Pa. Code § 127.631. It requires that the source be regulated using standardized specifications and conditions.
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, the DEP will place the following conditions on the Plan Approval and operating permit.
1. Source Components
Primary Feeder
Primary Impact Crusher
42" × 41` Conveyor
5` × 12` Screen
18" × 31` Conveyor
42" × 18` Conveyor

2. Dust from paved roads including 250 feet of public highway on either side of the access road shall be controlled through daily cleaning by a pressurized water truck or a vacuum road sweeper. Dust from unpaved roads shall be controlled through the use of water sprays or dust suppressants applied on a preventative basis.
3. The portable stone crushing plant shall only be operated at quarry or along the right-of-way of a road construction project. The portable stone crushing plant shall not be operated within 300 feet of an occupied building. The Department retains the right to limit the operation's operating hours at any site in a residential area.
Nothing in this plan approval and operating permit shall relieve the owner or operator from complying with any county or local ordinances or requirements.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] 4. The portable stone crushing plant shall be limited to the processing of:
virgin aggregate
asbestos free recycled aggregate
asbestos free recycled asphalt products (RAP)
concrete
glass
other highway aggregate paving materialsThe portable stone crushing plant shall not be used to process any materials contaminated with waste oils, hazardous waste or asbestos.
5. The water spray dust suppression system associated with the aforementioned sources shall be operated on any and all occasions that the respective sources are operated, except in those unusual instances where conditions are such that operation of the sources without the simultaneous operation of the water spray dust suppression system can take place without creating air contaminant emissions in excess of the limitations specified in any applicable Department rule or regulation and any applicable New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) requirement. If, however, the water spray dust suppression system associated with the aforementioned sources is incapable of operation due to weather conditions or any other reason the aforementioned sources may not be operated at all.
6. The source shall install a water spray dust suppression system at all material stockpiles, aggregate transfer points, crushing and screening systems, and other surfaces which may give rise to airborne dusts. Spray nozzles shall be located at all transfer points of the portable plant.
7. All trucks transporting crushed aggregate or materials listed in Condition 4 above shall be covered when using roads in public use.
8. If at any time it is determined that the use of any roadways and/or any material stockpiling operations associated with the sources is causing the emission of fugitive particulate matter in excess of the limitations specified in section 123.2 of Chapter 123 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection or if it is determined that all reasonable actions to prevent fugitive particulate matter resulting from the use of such roadways and/or material stockpiling operations from becoming airborne are not being taken the company shall take immediate steps, including the use of additional fugitive particulate matter control techniques, to correct the situation.
9. Prior to initial startup the portable stone crushing plant shall meet the requirements of the New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR 60, Subpart 000 for nonmetallic mineral processing plants.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP or Department) hereby announces the availability of grants under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190) for the remediation of waste tire piles in Pennsylvania. Act 190 provides a grant program, tax credits and enforcement provisions to reduce the waste tires that are stockpiled and generated annually in the Commonwealth. The Waste Tire Pile Remediation Grant Program is funded through the creation of the Used Tire Pile Remediation Restricted Account, which may receive up to $1 million annually from the Recycling Fund established by Act 101, the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. Grants totaling $1,000,000 may be awarded annually from this account for up to 5 years.
In order to be considered for a grant, an applicant: 1) must propose to remediate a waste tire pile that is on DEP's list of priority waste tire piles (copies of this list are available from the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, (717) 787-7381, or may be obtained electronically via the DEP Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us under the Municipal and Residual Waste page); 2) must not have contributed, in any manner, to the creation of a noncompliant waste tire pile; and 3) must have an identifiable end-use for the remediated waste tires.
Grant funds are intended to be used for activities directly related to the remediation of priority waste tire sites (such as employe wages, operation of equipment, transportation, processing costs, and the like).

The Department of Environmental Protection announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904).
Municipalities eligible for the grants include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. Authorities are not eligible to apply for the grants, but may be sponsored by a county or muncipality.
This solicitation is not for projects to be considered under the public/private partnership grant program.
The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority in the order they are listed. Intergovernmental cooperative recycling projects within any category will receive higher priority.
1. Projects implemented by a municipality, mandated by Act 101 to have a curbside recycling program, that establish or maintain compliance with the recycling requirements of the Act including:
a) semi-annual public information and education programs required under Act 101 section 1501(d) concerning recycling program features and requirements for the residential, commercial, institutional and municipal sectors; and,
b) programs for the collection of recyclables and leaf waste from residential, and/or commercial, institutional and municipal establishments.
2. Implementation of a curbside or drop-off recycling program by a nonmandated municipality.
3. Replacement equipment for the collection or processing of recyclables or leaf and yard wastes.
4. Leaf or yard waste collection and composting projects.

Municipalities and counties are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act (53 P. S. §§ 11701.101--11701.501), are eligible to receive funding for an additional 10% of approved costs.
Eligible recycling program development costs include: recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; development of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts or procuring equipment and services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.
Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: vehicles used to collect or transport recyclable materials to processing or storage facilities, or in the operation of a materials recovery facility, or in the transport of recyclable materials to market; reusable containers for household recyclable materials storage and collection; the cost of acquisition and/or renovation of buildings for the processing or storage of recyclable materials; equipment used for the processing of recyclable materials; and land improvements for a recycling facility. Yard waste composting programs as defined by the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 75, will be considered as recycling programs.
Before a municipality can submit an application to the Department for the funding of mechanical processing equipment, it must first publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation describing in detail the kinds of processing equipment that it proposes to purchase and the intended use of the equipment. The municipality must allow 30 days for responses from interested individuals. When the municipality submits the recycling grant application to the Department, it must include proof of compliance with the notification requirements, a description of any responses received to the notice, and an explanation of why the municipality has concluded the mechanical processing equipment is not available to the program from the private sector.
Applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. May 15, 1997. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with two copies submitted to the appropriate DEP Regional Office.
