[Continued from previous Web Page] 17-00001A: Reliant Energy Mid-Atlantic Power Holdings, LLC (1001 Broad Street, Box 1050, Johnstown, PA 15907-1050) for modification of an existing ash disposal facility at the Shawville Generating Station in Bradford Township, Clearfield County. The proposed modification will consist of an 86 acre expansion of the disposal facility. Additionally, ash generated by coal-fired boilers other than those at the Shawville Generating Station will be disposed of in the respective disposal facility.
The Shawville Generating Station is a major facility which has been issued a Title V Operating Permit (#17-00001). The proposed modification is expected to result in actual emission increases of 14.06 tons per year total particulate matter of which 3.11 tons per year will be particulate matter sized at 10 microns or below (PM-10).
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1. The amount of ash disposed at the ash disposal facility identified in condition 2 herein shall not exceed 261,000 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
2. The total amount of soil transferred from the facility property to the ash disposal facility and soil transported from offsite locations to the ash disposal facility (soil borrow) shall not exceed 18,121 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. All disposal areas shall be covered with soil and/or bottom ash and vegetated upon cessation of active use.
4. The Shawville Generating Station's raw water supply system shall provide an adequate supply of water to the ash unloaders and paddle mixer associated with the Station's ash silos under all plant operating conditions.
5. The only wastes to be disposed of at the ash disposal facility shall be ash from the Shawville Generating Station or ash from offsite coal-fired power generation plants unless prior Department approval is obtained to dispose of additional wastes.
6. All ash disposed of in the ash disposal facility shall be properly conditioned with water prior to disposal. All ash from the Shawville Generating Station shall be conditioned with water in the ash unloaders and paddle mixer associated with the ash silos.
7. The trucks transporting ash from all offsite locations shall be fully tarped (affixed with a tarp covering the entire truck bed opening) during all times of transport.
8. All ash hauled to the ash disposal facility during the course of a day shall be dumped, spread and compacted by the end of that day.
9. There shall be no fugitive emissions from the loads in the trucks serving the Shawville Station other than what the Department determines to be of minor significance.
10. A water truck equipped with both a pressurized spray bar and a pressurized hose or spray nozzle shall be maintained onsite at all times. The water truck shall be used as necessary to minimize fugitive particulate matter emissions from all roadways. The permittee shall implement all winterization measures necessary to render this water truck capable of use under all weather conditions.
53-00005B: Dominion Transmission Corp. (625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3199) for construction of a 4,735 horsepower, four-stroke lean burn, natural gas-fired, internal combustion compressor engine, the air contaminants from which shall be controlled by an LEC system and a catalytic exhaust silencer, at their Greenlick Compressor Station located in Stewardson Township, Potter County.
Dominion Transmission Corporation's Greenlick Compressor Station is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (53-00005) has been issued.
The information provided by the applicant, as well as the Department's own analysis, indicates that construction of the compressor engine will increase the facility's potential emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) by 22.34 tons per year, the emission of carbon monoxide by 6.98 tons per year and the emission of VOCs by 6.98 tons per year, as well as increase the facility's potential emission of hazardous air pollutants by 2.20 tons per year, of which 1.42 tons will be formaldehyde. The potential increase of all other air contaminants will be insignificant.
The de minimis accumulation of NOx and VOC emission increases at this facility has been 38.38 tons and 0.13 ton per year respectively to date. To prevent the total accumulation of de minimis NOx emission increases from equaling or exceeding 40 tons per year when the NOx emission increase associated with the proposed engine is added to the 38.38 ton per year NOx value, the company requested that 20.73 of the 39.94 tons per year of NOx emission reduction credits (ERCs) generated from the earlier shutdown of sources at this facility be applied towards internal netting, thereby escaping the need for emissions offsets as required by the New Source Review provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217. The company did not request that any VOC ERCs be applied. As a result, the total de minimis accumulation of NOx and VOC emission increases at this station will now be 39.99 and 7.11 tons per year respectively. Additionally, the total NOx and VOC ERCs remaining will be 19.21 tons and 0.60 ton per year respectively. Since the potential emissions from the engine are under the significance threshold for all pollutants, prevention of significant deterioration also has no applicability.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed engine will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue a plan approval.
To ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
1. The compressor engine shall not emit air contaminants in excess of the following limitations:
Pollutant Emission Rates (hourly) (annual) NOx 8.35 pounds per hour 22.34 tons per 12 consecutive month period CO 2.61 pounds per hour 6.98 tons per 12 consecutive month period VOCs 2.61 pounds per hour 6.98 tons per 12 consecutive month period HAPs 0.82 pound per hour 2.20 tons per 12 consecutive month period Formaldehyde 0.53 pound per hour 1.42 tons per 12 consecutive month period PM Less than 1.0 ton per 12 consecutive month period SOx Less than 1.0 ton per 12 consecutive month period 2. Operation of the compressor engine shall not exceed 5,350 hours in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. The compressor engine shall only be fired on pipeline quality natural gas.
4. The permittee shall maintain accurate, comprehensive records of the number of hours the compressor engine is operated each month.
5. The permittee shall perform concurrent nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2), carbon monoxide, VOC (expressed as methane) and formaldehyde testing using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. The testing shall be performed while the engine is operating under maximum load conditions. The permittee shall submit a test report containing the results of the testing to the Department for review.
6. Six months after the performance of the initial compliance testing and every 6 months thereafter, the permittee shall perform nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) testing using portable NOx testing equipment. Additionally, 4 years after the performance of the initial compliance testing, the permittee shall perform concurrent nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2), carbon monoxide, VOC (expressed as methane) and formaldehyde testing using reference test methods. All testing shall be performed while the engine is operating under maximum load conditions using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. The permittee shall submit a test report containing the results of the testing to the Department for review.

These applications will be the subject of a public hearing to be held at 7 p.m. on June 13, 2002, at the North Brandywine Middle School, 256 Reeceville Rd., Coatesville, PA 19320.
On April 18, 2002, the Department issued a water allocation permit to Philadelphia Suburban Water Company (PSW) that will allow the company to withdraw water from the East Brandywine Creek. The Delaware River Basin Commission also approved this water withdrawal on April 3, 2002.
Comments on the issued water allocation permit will not be taken at the June 13, 2002, hearing.
The withdrawal was requested by PSW as part of a proposed project that would use water from the East Brandywine Creek to serve customers in East and West Brandywine Townships.
