For applications for new NPDES permits and renewal applications with major changes in Section II, as well as applications for MS4 individual permits and individual stormwater construction permits in Sections IV and VI, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, has made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications. These determinations are published as proposed actions for comments prior to taking final actions.
Unless indicated otherwise, the EPA Region III Administrator has waived the right to review or object to proposed NPDES permit actions under the waiver provision in 40 CFR 123.24(d).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before an application within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Persons wishing to comment on a WQM permit application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before the application within 15 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within the respective comment periods will be considered in the final determinations regarding the applications. Comments should 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 for a public hearing on applications. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. The Department will postpone its final determination until after a public hearing is held.

35-315-035B: The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Co. (PA Route 87, Mehoopany, PA 18629) for construction and operation of two paper machines in Washington Township, Wyoming County.
The company submitted to the Department an application for approval for a modification to an existing plan approval issued for the construction and operation of two paper machines. The proposed change would occur at the sources in Washington Township, Wyoming County. The application was submitted under 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 and has been reviewed in accordance with all applicable air quality regulations.
The proposed modification and changes are not subject to the requirements of PSD regulations. A preliminary review of the information submitted by The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company indicates that the construction and operation of the proposed two paper machines will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modification of two paper machines.
The information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis indicates that after modification emissions from these paper machines will either remain the same or have an expected decrease in the NOx emissions. Particulate emissions will be reduced to 54.9 tpy from 63.9 tpy; CO emissions will remain the same at 306 tpy; VOCs will remain the same at 380.2 tpy; and NOx emissions will increase from 162.2 tpy to 206.9 tpy. The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. A decreasing of NOx emissions from the existing boilers by installing low NOx burners will offset NOx emission increases from these two paper machines. No net increase will occurs in NOx emissions from this project, therefore, the modification is not subject to the NSR requirement.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.
1. Stack test shall be performed in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 to show compliance with the applicable standards.
2. NOx emissions from boilers 1, 2 and 4 shall be recorded continuously.
Persons who wish to provide the Department with additional information they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval should submit the information to the following address. Written comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment, identification of proposed Plan Approval 35-315-035B and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or any objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.
Request for a public fact finding conference or hearing should also be made by writing the Department at the following address. A public conference may be held if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a conference is warranted on the basis of the information received. Persons who have submitted comments or have requested a conference will be notified of the decision to hold a conference by publication in a newspaper, in the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines notification by telephone is sufficient. Comments and requests must be received by the Department by 30 days after final publication date and should be sent to Mark J. Wejkszner, P. E., Chief of Engineering Services, Air Quality Program, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, (570) 826-2511.

The proposed water spray dust suppression system will replace an existing water spray dust suppression system currently used for the control of fugitive particulate matter from a number of pieces of existing stone crushing, and the like, equipment operating under Plan Approval 41-310-012. It will also be used to control the fugitive particulate matter from a primary crusher and associated feeder and conveyor, the construction of which was approved by Plan Approval 41-310-012 but which have not yet been constructed. Following the installation of the proposed water spray dust suppression system, the emission of fugitive particulate matter from the existing stone crushing, and the like, equipment is expected to decrease from the level now occurring but the magnitude of the decrease in unknown. The installation of the proposed water spray dust suppression system is expected to help better assure compliance with applicable fugitive air contaminant emission requirements on a consistent basis.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. indicates that the air contaminant emissions from the respective stone crushing, and the like, equipment will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the proposed water spray dust suppression system, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676.

(625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3199) for installation of an air cleaning device, a high pressure fuel injection system, on a 2,000 horsepower natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion compressor engine (Engine 6) at their Sabinsville Compressor Station in Clymer Township, Tioga County. The Sabinsville Compressor Station is a major facility which has been issued a Title V Operating Permit 59-00005.
The proposed air cleaning device will supplement existing air pollution controls on the respective engine and will help better assure compliance with NOx emission limitations previously established for the engine under the reasonably available control technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. This installation will not result in any change in the amount of NOx or any other air contaminant allowed to be emitted from the engine but may result in a reduction in the emission rate of one or more air contaminants from the levels now actually occurring.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Dominion Transmission, Inc. indicates that the proposed installation will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the installation of the proposed high pressure fuel injection system on the respective engine. Additionally, if the Department determines that the engine is operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements following the installation of the high pressure fuel injection system, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 59-00005 by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Following the installation of the high pressure fuel injection system on Engine 6, NOx, expressed as NO2, emissions from the respective engine shall not exceed 13.23 pounds per hour at full load/full speed and 26.4 pounds per hour at any time. Additionally, the emission of VOCs and CO from the engine shall not exceed 3.5 and 11.96 pounds per hour, respectively.
2. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the high pressure fuel injection system, stack testing shall be performed for NOx, VOCs and CO.
3. Semiannual NOx portable analyzer testing shall be performed on the engine.
4. Records shall be maintained of the number of hours per month that the engine is operated per month and the amount of fuel used per month.
5. The engine shall only be fired on pipeline quality natural gas.
18-315-001: First Quality Tissue, LLC (599 South Highland Street, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for construction of a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The respective facility, if constructed, will be a major facility for which a Title V operating permit will have to be obtained.
The facility will consist of no. 1 and no. 2 paper machines, each of which will consist of a pulper area, a wet end area, a first stage dryer, a glue containment area, a second stage dryer, a dry end area and a converting area. The facility will also incorporate additional scrap paper pulpers, printing presses, additive storage tanks, a wastewater treatment system, various small natural gas/propane-fired unit heaters and makeup air units and a 300 horsepower diesel-fired fire pump.
The PM emissions, including PM10, from each of the paper machine wet end areas will be controlled by a cyclone collector. The PM, including PM10, from each of the paper machine dry end areas will be controlled by a venturi scrubber system. The NOx emissions from the combustion of fuel in the paper machines' first stage dryer burners, second stage dryer burners and second stage boilers will be minimized by the use of low NOx burners.
The paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility will emit up to 167.55 tons of NOx, 269.73 tons of CO, 335.52 tons of VOCs, 36.44 tons of PM, including PM10, 1.64 tons of SOx and 2.35 tons of HAPs in any 12 consecutive month period.
The facility's VOC and NOx emissions are subject to the New Source Review (NSR) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217. The Department has determined that the proposed level of VOC and NOx emission control will satisfy the lowest achievable emission rate requirement of these regulations and also, under 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(5), that the benefits of the proposed facility will significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs associated with the facility. The Department has also determined that First Quality Tissue, LLC must obtain 192.68 tons of NOx emission reduction credits as well as 385.85 tons of VOC emission reduction credits before the facility may begin operation. First Quality Tissue, LLC has committed to obtaining these emission reduction credits in a timely fashion.
The facility's NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emissions are subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83. The Department has determined that the proposed level of NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emission control will satisfy the best available control technology requirement of these regulations and that the emission of these air contaminants will not endanger the maintenance of any applicable National Ambient Air Quality Standard or result in the consumption of more ambient increment than is available in the Castanea Township area.
The maximum annual NOx ambient concentration is projected to be 69.3 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 100 micrograms per cubic meter), the maximum annual PM10 ambient concentration is projected to be 39.5 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 50 micrograms per cubic meter) and the maximum 24-hour PM10 ambient concentration is projected to be 113.5 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 150 micrograms per cubic meter). The total amount of increment consumed at the respective site, including the impact of the proposed facility, is projected to be 20.9 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 25 micrograms per cubic meter of annual NOx increment, 5.3 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 17 micrograms per cubic meter of annual PM10 increment and 26.3 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 30 micrograms per cubic meter of 24 hour PM10 increment. This will leave 4.1 micrograms per cubic meter of annual NOx increment, 11.7 micrograms per cubic meter of annual PM10 increment and 3.7 micrograms per cubic meter of 24-hour PM10 increment available for future industrial, and the like, growth in the Castanea Township area.
The PSD regulations also require an analysis of the impact of the facility's projected NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emissions on visibility, soils and vegetation. The Department has determined that there will be no adverse impact on local visibility and minimal impacts on soil and vegetation.
All of the air contaminant emissions to be emitted from the facility are also subject to the best available technology (BAT) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department has determined that the proposed level of control for all air contaminants will satisfy these requirements.
The Department's review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility will meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the respective facility.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Remedial Response Chem Fab Site, Doylestown Borough, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is proposing a remedial response at the Chem Fab Site (Site), 300 N. Broad St., Doylestown Borough, Bucks County.
Contamination from the Site extends into neighboring properties in Doylestown Township. The Site consists of a 1-acre parcel of land with three buildings currently in existence and the area of contamination associated with the parcel. There was once an aboveground storage tank farm and a large underground tank that contained waste chromic acid on the 1-acre parcel. The Site includes both soil and groundwater contamination and an area of intermittent surface water contamination in a drainage swale. The population of Doylestown Borough, the county seat, is approximately 9,000 and the population of Doylestown Township is over 15,000. The current land use of the 1-acre parcel is as offices and commercial space. The neighboring affected properties, also included in the Site, are commercial/light industrial, residential and municipal. Cooks Run, a tributary of the Neshaminy Creek, is to the west of the Site and flows across residential property. It is a Chapter 305 nonattaining stream. Cooks Run's FEMA 100-year floodplain is along the western edge of the Site. Doylestown Municipal Water Authority's Well No. 13 is within 1/4 mile of the Site. The plume of groundwater contamination at the Site is within the designated Wellhead Protection Area of Doylestown Municipal Authority Well No. 13.
There is significant soil and groundwater contamination at the original 1-acre Chem Fab parcel and on a parcel now owned by Extra Space, Inc. The plume of groundwater contamination at the Site extends onto properties owned by Ms. B. Henning and the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority. The groundwater plume is moving towards a public water supply well owned by Doylestown Water Authority.
The soils are contaminated with a number of chlorinated solvents and metals, including hexavalent chromium. The groundwater is contaminated with chlorinated solvents, other organics and a number of metals, including hexavalent chromium. In certain monitoring wells installed by the Department, the groundwater varies in pH from 2 to over 12 and is bright yellow in color due to extremely high concentrations of chromium.
The Site has been listed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for remediation.
The Department has considered seven alternatives for conducting groundwater remediation at the Site.
Alternative 1--No Action: A ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be prepared and/or judged. Had the Department selected the ''No Action'' alternative, any actual or potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site would have remained the same.
Alternative 2--Groundwater Monitoring: This alternative consists of quarterly monitoring of the existing well network. Fate and transport analysis of the contaminant plume would be evaluated numerically and the potential for continued migration would be determined. This alternative could provide a warning to downgradient users, but would not comply with ARARs for removal or treatment of contaminants. No capital costs would be involved and the technology to implement this remedy is readily available. Risks to human health and the environment would remain at the current levels.
Alternative 3--Groundwater Monitoring, Extraction, Ex-Situ Treatment and Re-Injection: This alternative would include the following components: (1) groundwater monitoring--quarterly monitoring of the existing well network, as in Alternative 2; (2) groundwater extraction using three new extraction wells, to be near the former tank farm and former UST on the Chem Fab property and near MW-05 on the Extra Space property; (3) ex-situ treatment of extracted water to remove hexavalent chromium, other metals and chlorinated organic compounds; and (4) reinjection of treated water through a network of approximately ten new wells to be placed using numerical ground water flow analysis. This remedy would minimize the continued offsite migration of the contaminant plume and reduce risks to human health and the environment. It would be easy to implement using standard technologies.
Alternative 4--Groundwater Monitoring, Ex-Situ Treatment, In-Situ Groundwater Treatment and Re-Injection: This alternative would include the following components: (1) groundwater monitoring--quarterly monitoring of the existing well network, as in Alternative 2; (2) groundwater extraction using five new extraction wells, to be near the former tank farm and former UST on the Chem Fab property and near MW-05 on the Extra Space property and near MW-20 on the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority property; (3) ex-situ treatment of extracted water to remove hexavalent chromium, other metals and chlorinated organic compounds; (4) a reducing agent would be added to the treated groundwater prior to reinjection; and (5) reinjection of treated water through a network of approximately 15 new wells to be placed using numerical ground water flow analysis. This remedy would minimize the continued offsite migration of the contaminant plume and reduce risks to human health and the environment. It would be easy to implement using standard technologies. Addition of the reducing agent would enhance conversion of chromium to a lower solubility trivalent hydroxide salt and promote the reduction of chlorinated organic compounds.
Alternative 5--Groundwater Monitoring, Extraction from Hydrofactured bedrock, Ex-Situ Treatment and Re-Injection: This alternative would include the following components: (1) groundwater monitoring--quarterly monitoring of the existing well network, as in Alternative 2; (2) groundwater extraction using three new wells, to be near the former tank farm and former UST on the Chem Fab property and near MW-05 on the Extra Space property; (3) hydrofracturing--the shallow bedrock, extending to 50 feet below ground surface, would be hydrofractured in the collection and reinjection zones to increase the permeability of the rock and the interception of existing fracture zones; (4) ex-situ treatment of extracted water to remove hexavalent chromium, other metals and chlorinated organic compounds; and (5) reinjection of treated water through a network of approximately ten new wells to be placed using numerical ground water flow analysis. This remedy would minimize the continued offsite migration of the contaminant plume and reduce risks to human health and the environment. It would be easy to implement using standard technologies. Hydrofracturing would enhance the system operation relative to Alternative 3.
Alternative 6--Groundwater Monitoring, Extraction from Hydrofractured bedrock, Ex-Situ Treatment, Re-Injection and In-Situ Groundwater Treatment: This alternative would include the following components: (1) groundwater monitoring--quarterly monitoring of the existing well network, as in Alternative 2; (2) groundwater extraction using three new wells, to be near the former tank farm and former UST on the Chem Fab property and near MW-05 on the Extra Space property; (3) hydrofracturing--the shallow bedrock, extending to 50 feet below ground surface, would be hydrofractured in the collection and reinjection zones to increase the permeability of the rock and the interception of existing fracture zones; (4) ex-situ treatment of extracted water to remove hexavalent chromium, other metals and chlorinated organic compounds; (5) a reducing agent would be added to the treated groundwater prior to reinjection; and (6) reinjection of treated water through a network of approximately 15 new wells to be placed using numerical ground water flow analysis. This remedy would minimize the continued offsite migration of the contaminant plume and reduce risks to human health and the environment. It would be easy to implement using standard technologies. Hydrofracturing would enhance the system operation relative to Alternative 3. Addition of the reducing agent would enhance conversion of chromium to a lower solubility trivalent hydroxide salt and promote the reduction of chlorinated organic compounds.
Alternative 7--Groundwater Monitoring, Extraction from Hydrofractured bedrock, Ex-Situ Treatment, Re-Injection and In-Situ Groundwater Treatment and a Permeable Reactive Barrier: This alternative would include the following components: (1) groundwater monitoring--quarterly monitoring of the existing well network, as in Alternative 2; (2) groundwater extraction using five new wells, to be near the former tank farm and former UST on the Chem Fab property, near MW-05 on the Extra Space property and near MW-20 on the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority Property; (3) hydrofracturing--the shallow bedrock, extending to 50 feet below ground surface, would be hydrofractured in the collection and reinjection zones to increase the permeability of the rock and the interception of existing fracture zones; (4) ex-situ treatment of extracted water to remove hexavalent chromium, other metals and chlorinated organic compounds; (5) a reducing agent would be added to the treated groundwater prior to reinjection; (6) reinjection of treated water through a network of approximately 15 new wells to be placed using numerical ground water flow analysis; and (7) a permeable reactive barrier around the major source areas, established in a zone of hydrofractured bedrock, where reductant would be injected to treat groundwater moving off the site. This remedy would minimize the continued offsite migration of the contaminant plume and reduce risks to human health and the environment. It would be easy to implement using standard technologies. Hydrofracturing would enhance the system operation relative to Alternative 3. Addition of the reducing agent would enhance conversion of chromium to a lower solubility trivalent hydroxide salt and promote the reduction of chlorinated organic compounds. The exact location and extent of the reactive barriers necessary has not been determined and it is questionable whether the barriers would enhance remediation.
The Department has selected Alternative 4, Groundwater Monitoring, Ex-Situ Treatment, In-Situ Groundwater Treatment and Re-Injection. This alternative is technically feasible, implementable and would reduce risks to human health and the environment. The Department feels that hydrofracturing would be problematic at this Site and is choosing a remedy that does not employ this technology. The Department will consider methods of enhancing groundwater capture in the future based upon the effectiveness of the selected alternative.
