This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.

40-00129A: Moxie Freedom LLC (612 Center Street South, Vienna, VA 22180). Notice is hereby given under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21, that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval 40-00129A for Moxie Freedom LLC (Permittee), (612 Center Street South, Vienna, VA 22180) for the proposes to construct, own, and operate a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Salem Township, Luzerne County and is soliciting comments on the above plan approval.
The Project will consist of two identical 1 x 1 power blocks, each consisting of a combustion gas turbine (CT) and a steam turbine (ST) configured in single shaft alignment, where each CT and ST train share one common electric generator. The turbine to be used for this project are Two General Electric (GE) 7HA.02 CTs, each in 1 x 1 single shaft combined-cycle power islands.
Duct burners (DB) will be installed in the heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) of the proposed new units. Each CT and duct burner will exclusively fire pipeline-quality natural gas. The HRSGs will be equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to minimize nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and oxidation catalysts to minimize carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the CTs and DBs.
The Project will also include several pieces of ancillary equipment. The list of equipment includes:
One fuel gas dew-point heater—natural gas fired, common for all CTs
Two CT inlet evaporative coolers—one for each CT (not emissions sources)
Two air-cooled condensers—one for each HRSG (not emissions sources)
One auxiliary boiler, natural gas-fired
One diesel engine powered emergency generator
One diesel engine powered fire water pump
Diesel fuel, lubricating oil, and aqueous ammonia storage tanks
The proposed facility will be a ''major source'' of criteria air pollutants. Moxie Freedom is applying to the Department for a Plan Approval addressing Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review and non-attainment New Source Review (NSR).
The Project, Moxie Freedom Generation Plant, once fully operational will have the capability to produce 1,050 Mega Watts (MW) of electricity which will then be distributed to the power grid for use.
The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed Moxie Freedom Generation Plant, to satisfy four conditions before approval to construct and operate may be granted by DEP. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by best available control technology (BACT). Second, particulate and sulfur dioxide (SO2) air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable annual, 24-hour, or 3-hour air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause violation of either the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation, and visibility in the vicinity of the proposed plant site.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by Moxie Freedom, LLC indicates that the construction and operation of the plant will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four stated above. Based upon these findings, DEP plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the construction and operation of the Moxie Freedom Generation Plant.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted for the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Emission limit Tons/year PM10 118.00 TSP 118.00 SO2 33.00 NOx 215.00 CO 218.00 VOC 78.00 Fluoride 6.30 Total Hazardous (HAPs) 15.30 As shown in the table above Moxie Freedom LLC proposed project potential emissions of NOx and VOC exceed the NNSR major source thresholds. NNSR requirements for NOx and VOC include Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) and purchasing Emission Reduction Credits (ERC). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 121.1, LAER is defined as:
(i) The rate of emissions based on the following, whichever is more stringent:
(A) The most stringent emission limitation which is contained in the implementation plan of a state for the class or category of source unless the owner or operator of the proposed source demonstrates that the limitations are not achievable.
(B) The most stringent emission limitation which is achieved in practice by the class or category of source.
(ii) The application of the term may not allow a new or proposed modified source to emit a pollutant in excess of the amount allowable under an applicable new source standard of performance.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.205(4) and 127.210, Moxie Freedom LLC will be required to purchase ERCs to offset the NOx and VOC emission increases associated with this project at a ratio of 1.15:1. Based on the PTE, the following table represents the required ERCs to be purchased:
ERC Calculation
Pollutant PTE Ratio ERCs NOx 214 1.15 246.1 VOC 77.9 1.15 89.6 In accordance with the PSD rules in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Moxie Freedom LLC (Moxie Freedom) has conducted an air quality analysis which utilizes dispersion modeling. Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis satisfies the requirements of the PSD rules and is consistent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Guideline on Air Quality Models (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W) and the EPA's air quality modeling policy and guidance.
In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(k), Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis demonstrates that the proposed emissions from Moxie Freedom's facility will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM-2.5), or particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM-10). Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis demonstrates that the proposed emissions from Moxie Freedom's facility will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the increments for NO2, PM-2.5, or PM-10. The degree of Class II and Class I increment consumption expected to result from the operation of Moxie Freedom's facility is provided in the following tables:

Plan Approval No. 48-00021A is for the revision of permit limit for lead emissions (Pb) to address the variability of lead (Pb) content in fuel inherent with the multiple coal refuses piles that the plant currently uses in their circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler. The company has sampled and tested approximately 21 refuse coal piles for lead content in order to determine the base line for lead. The results were varied, ranging from 4.3 ppms to 140 ppms. NGC has used 140 ppms (highest lead found in the sample) in re-developing the lead emissions limit. Based on these sampling and findings the company has requested the Department to revise the lead (Pb) limit, when burning Tire Derived Fuel (TDF), from 0.0027 pounds per hour to 0.0588 pounds per hour. A Health Risk Assessment Model was provided to justify the revised lead emissions limit. No other operational changes were proposed by the company.
The Department's Central Office Air Quality staff reviewed the Health Risk Assessment results and concluded that for the increased lead emissions (0.0588 lb/hr = 0.00742 g/sec), the cancer risks for the baseline and TDF scenarios is 1.22 E-06. The non-cancer risks for the baseline and TDF scenarios have gone up slightly to 0.14 and 0.19, respectively, which are still below the acceptable level of 0.25.
Based on 8,760 hour per year operation and maximum of 140 ppm of lead content in coal refuse, following potential emissions are expected from the boiler.
Pb—0.258 Ton/year
No other emissions changes are expected due to this change from the facility.

40-00129A: Moxie Freedom LLC (612 Center Street South, Vienna, VA 22180). Notice is hereby given under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21, that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval 40-00129A for Moxie Freedom LLC (Permittee), (612 Center Street South, Vienna, VA 22180) for the proposes to construct, own, and operate a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant in Salem Township, Luzerne County and is soliciting comments on the above plan approval.
The Project will consist of two identical 1 x 1 power blocks, each consisting of a combustion gas turbine (CT) and a steam turbine (ST) configured in single shaft alignment, where each CT and ST train share one common electric generator. The turbine to be used for this project are Two General Electric (GE) 7HA.02 CTs, each in 1 x 1 single shaft combined-cycle power islands.
Duct burners (DB) will be installed in the heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) of the proposed new units. Each CT and duct burner will exclusively fire pipeline-quality natural gas. The HRSGs will be equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to minimize nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and oxidation catalysts to minimize carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the CTs and DBs.
The Project will also include several pieces of ancillary equipment. The list of equipment includes:
One fuel gas dew-point heater—natural gas fired, common for all CTs
Two CT inlet evaporative coolers—one for each CT (not emissions sources)
Two air-cooled condensers—one for each HRSG (not emissions sources)
One auxiliary boiler, natural gas-fired
One diesel engine powered emergency generator
One diesel engine powered fire water pump
Diesel fuel, lubricating oil, and aqueous ammonia storage tanks
The proposed facility will be a ''major source'' of criteria air pollutants. Moxie Freedom is applying to the Department for a Plan Approval addressing Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review and non-attainment New Source Review (NSR).
The Project, Moxie Freedom Generation Plant, once fully operational will have the capability to produce 1,050 Mega Watts (MW) of electricity which will then be distributed to the power grid for use.
The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed Moxie Freedom Generation Plant, to satisfy four conditions before approval to construct and operate may be granted by DEP. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by best available control technology (BACT). Second, particulate and sulfur dioxide (SO2) air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable annual, 24-hour, or 3-hour air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause violation of either the national primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation, and visibility in the vicinity of the proposed plant site.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by Moxie Freedom, LLC indicates that the construction and operation of the plant will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four stated above. Based upon these findings, DEP plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the construction and operation of the Moxie Freedom Generation Plant.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted for the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Emission limit Tons/year PM10 118.00 TSP 118.00 SO2 33.00 NOx 215.00 CO 218.00 VOC 78.00 Fluoride 6.30 Total Hazardous (HAPs) 15.30 As shown in the table above Moxie Freedom LLC proposed project potential emissions of NOx and VOC exceed the NNSR major source thresholds. NNSR requirements for NOx and VOC include Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) and purchasing Emission Reduction Credits (ERC). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 121.1, LAER is defined as:
(i) The rate of emissions based on the following, whichever is more stringent:
(A) The most stringent emission limitation which is contained in the implementation plan of a state for the class or category of source unless the owner or operator of the proposed source demonstrates that the limitations are not achievable.
(B) The most stringent emission limitation which is achieved in practice by the class or category of source.
(ii) The application of the term may not allow a new or proposed modified source to emit a pollutant in excess of the amount allowable under an applicable new source standard of performance.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.205(4) and 127.210, Moxie Freedom LLC will be required to purchase ERCs to offset the NOx and VOC emission increases associated with this project at a ratio of 1.15:1. Based on the PTE, the following table represents the required ERCs to be purchased:
ERC Calculation
Pollutant PTE Ratio ERCs NOx 214 1.15 246.1 VOC 77.9 1.15 89.6 In accordance with the PSD rules in 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Moxie Freedom LLC (Moxie Freedom) has conducted an air quality analysis which utilizes dispersion modeling. Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis satisfies the requirements of the PSD rules and is consistent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Guideline on Air Quality Models (40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W) and the EPA's air quality modeling policy and guidance.
In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(k), Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis demonstrates that the proposed emissions from Moxie Freedom's facility will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for CO, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM-2.5), or particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in diameter (PM-10). Moxie Freedom's air quality analysis demonstrates that the proposed emissions from Moxie Freedom's facility will not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the increments for NO2, PM-2.5, or PM-10. The degree of Class II and Class I increment consumption expected to result from the operation of Moxie Freedom's facility is provided in the following tables:

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must 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 or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following plans and reports:

PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
