Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a manganese steel castings foundry owned and operated by The Frog, Switch & Manufacturing Company in Carlisle Borough, Cumberland County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Plan Approval No. 21-2011 for the existing foundry to comply with current regulations. Upon final approval of the company's case-by-case analysis, the plan approval will contain limits on the VOC content of molding and coring formulations. Additional conditions will require verification of these limits through recordkeeping and reporting of operational data, including VOC emissions.
An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 541-7937 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on June 11, 1996, at the Carlisle Community Center, 415 Franklin Street, Carlisle from 1 p.m. until all scheduled comments are received.
Those wishing to comment are requested to contact Sandra Roderick at (717) 541-7969 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to schedule their testimony. Commentators are requested to provide two written copies of their remarks at the time of the hearing. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual. Organizations are requested to designate an individual to present testimony on behalf of the organization. Written comments may be submitted to Gary Lenz, Air Pollution Control Engineer, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 on or before June 30, 1996.

Notice of Proposed Revisions to the State Implementation Plan for 1990 Emission Inventory; Public Hearing
DEP proposes to amend the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) by including the emission inventories of the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company, Lancaster East Plant (City of Lancaster, Lancaster County). The emission inventory is for 1990, which is considered a base year since all future reductions mandated by the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments are based on that year's inventory.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations or add new requirements. The proposed inventory, if finally approved, will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revisions. The hearing will be held at 10 a.m. on June 20, 1996, at the Department of Environmental Protection Lancaster District Office, 1661 Old Philadelphia Pike, Lancaster, PA. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Sandra Roderick at (717) 541-7969 by June 18, 1996, to register. Those unable to attend the hearing, but wish to comment, should send their comments to Leif Ericson, Air Quality Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southcentral Regional Office, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 on or before June 20, 1996.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the hearing should contact Sandra Roderick at (717) 541-7969 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Notice of Plan Approval Application Minor Source
The following stationary sources have filed a request for a plan approval with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Air Quality. Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval have 30 days to submit the protest or comments to the Regional Office at the address listed below. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the plan approval application by filing a request with the Regional Office stating the reason for the request.
The Department will evaluate and consider all protests and comments received. The Department will, where appropriate, modify the proposed plan approval based on the protests and comments received.
The final plan approval will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operated in compliance with the Department's regulations contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143 and the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. A notice of the Department's final decision on the proposed plan approval will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Air contaminants emitted from these sources are less than the amounts that would trigger major new source review requirements. For additional information on the following applications, contact Devendra Verma, Engineering Services Chief, (814) 332-6940.
Regional Office: Northwest Regional Office, Bureau of Air Quality Control, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
37-309-050. The Department received a plan approval application for construction of a cement grinding operation (40,000 tons/year) by ESSROC Materials, Inc. (P. O. Box 5250, Poland, OH 44514) in Bessemer Borough, Lawrence County. This source is subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart F.
Preliminary determination to approve application for plan approval
General Electric Transportation Systems (GETS), Grove City Plant (1503 West Main Street Extension, Grove City, PA 16127) has filed an application with the Department of Environmental Protection (230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335) to modify the diesel engine test cells. GETS currently employs engine retardation, split cooling and electronic fuel injection, where feasible. The engines being tested range from 2,000 HP and greater. The performance testing conducted on the diesel engines consist of a series of idle speeds and power settings which increase throughout the test. The performance test usually consists of one complete uninterrupted test cycle requiring approximately 10 hours of total run time. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations (40 CFR 52.21). The application is also subject to the New Source Review (NSR) regulations (Subchapter E of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127).
Sources subject to PSD and NSR regulations must meet certain conditions prior to the issuance of a preconstruction/modification approval. These conditions are briefly described below. For exact text, please refer to the regulations.
1. The best available control technology must be utilized to limit the emissions of all pollutants regulated under the ACT which are emitted in ''significant'' amounts. This determination is made on a case by case basis taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs.
2. A source impact analysis must be performed to demonstrate that the proposed emissions would not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of any National Ambient Air Quality Standard or any maximum allowable increase over baseline concentrations.
3. An analysis of the impairment to visibility, soils and vegetation that would occur as a result of the source operation and associated growth in commercial, residential and industrial activity must be performed.
4. Lowest Achievable Emission Rate must be utilized to limit the emission of all pollutants in nonattainment areas which are emitted in ''significant'' amounts. This determination is made on a case by case basis. The rate of emissions is based on the following, whichever is more stringent.
* Most stringent emission limitation which is contained in the implementation plan of a state for the class or category of source, unless the owner/operator demonstrates the limitations are not achievable.
* Most stringent emission limitation which is achieved in practice by the class or category of source.
5. Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) must be obtained to offset the change in allowable NOx emissions. Because the region is classified as moderate non-attainment for NOx, the quantity of the change in allowable NOx emissions must be offset by a ratio of 1.15 to 1.
Information submitted by General Electric Transportation Systems indicates that the emissions from the source shall comply with all applicable requirements of PSD and NSR regulations and any applicable requirements contained in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) as approved for Pennsylvania by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The permit would be subject to the following conditions.
1. Fuel consumption will be restricted to 2,224,500 gal/yr for the diesel engine test cells and the turbocharger test cell based on a 12 month rolling average.
2. NOx emissions shall be limited to 492.2 ton/yr for the diesel engine test cells and the turbocharger test cell based on a 12 month rolling average.
3. Annual emissions and fuel consumption shall be calculated monthly and reported on a quarterly basis to the Department. Engine production volume, type and horsepower rating, fuel consumption and emission factors shall be recorded and made available to Department personnel upon request for a period of at least 1 year. Compliance with the emission limitations contained in the permit for NOx will be determined by calculating emissions from engine and turbocharger testing using the reported emission factors.
4. Within 90 days of the manufacturing and testing of a new engine type, a source test shall be conducted to refine estimated emission factors. A pretest protocol complying with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 86 shall be submitted to the Department for approval. The Department may approve the test procedure as it deems fit.
5. Within 60 days of the approval of the test protocol, stack emission tests will be conducted in accordance with the pre-approved test protocol to determine compliance with the emission limits specified in condition no. 2.
6. GETS shall notify the Department at least 2 weeks prior to the tests.
7. Within 60 days after completion of the tests, two copies of the complete test report including all operating conditions shall be submitted to the Department for approval.
General Provisions:
1. The plan approval shall become invalid if modification is not commenced within 18 months after receipt of the approval or if the modification is discontinued for a period of 18 months or more, or if modification is not completed within a reasonable period of time.
2. Issuance of an operating permit is contingent upon compliance with the above conditions, upon the sources being modified and operated as stated in the application and follow-up correspondence and upon demonstration that the emissions from the sources shall comply with all applicable Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Federal Clean Air Act and the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015).
The Department has determined that the above application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as well as Lowest Achievable Emission Rate as required by the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and New Source Review (NSR) regulations. GETS has a contract to obtain Emission Reduction Credits from Pennsylvania Power Company, New Castle Plant.
The facility will trigger PSD and NSR for NOx pollutants only. The maximum annual impact due to an increase in NOx emissions from the GETS facility is 3.23 ug/m3. Since the maximum impact NOx concentration is below 14 ug/m3, this facility is exempt from the preconstruction ambient monitoring requirement.
The analysis also indicates that the overall maximum annual impact from the proposed facility and other major sources in the area will result in a total increment consuming annual concentration of 4.51 ug/m3. This is well below the allowable annual NOx PSD increment of 25.0 ug/m3 for Class II areas.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] The project will have no significant industrial growth, therefore no commercial or industrial air pollution impacts are expected. The project is also not expected to adversely impact local soils, or vegetation. A visibility impairment analysis was performed using VISCREEN--plume visual impact screening model. VISCREEN was used to perform a Level 1 screening for Class I areas nearest the facility. The results indicated that the maximum anticipated visual impacts both inside and outside the Class I Area do not exceed the screening criteria. Therefore the source will not cause adverse visibility impairment.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the plans submitted by General Electric Transportation Systems subject to the conditions listed above. A final determination will be made based on any additional inputs received.
The Department will consider any written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Any person may oppose this preliminary determination by filing a written notice with the Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, Attn.: Devendra Verma.
Each protest shall include the following:
1. Name, address and telephone number of the person filing each protest.
2. Identification of the proposed plan approval issuance being opposed.
3. Concise statement of the reasons for objection to the issuance of the plan approval and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
If sufficient public interest is generated, the Department, prior to the issuance of the plan approvals, may in its discretion, hold a public meeting or fact-finding conference, at which time any person may appear and give testimony. If it is decided to hold a public hearing, then a notice to this effect shall be published in the local newspaper giving the place the time of such a hearing.
For any additional information regarding the above, please contact Devendra Verma or Larry Wonders at (814) 332-6940 or by writing the Department at the Meadville address given above.
