AIR RESOURCES Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.
OPERATING PERMITS
Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the following facilities. These facilities are major facilities subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F and G (relating to operating permit requirements; and Title V operating permits).
Copies of the Title V application, proposed permit and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the regional office noted.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Title V permit to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing.

Notice of Intent to Issue Synthetic Minor State-Only Operating Permits for Certain Gasoline Distribution Facilities
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.424, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice of its intent to issue synthetic minor State-only Operating Permits to the gasoline distribution facilities shown. These facilities have the physical and operation capacity to emit major source amounts of regulated pollutants, but are not considered major sources because the owners or operators of these facilities have taken Federally enforceable emission limits below major source thresholds to avoid requirements of Title III and/or Title V of the Clean Air Act. The Federally enforceable emission restrictions apply to the gasoline throughput for each facility.
In order to qualify as an area source for Title III purposes or a nonmajor source under Title V in moderate ozone nonattainment areas, the maximum allowable emissions (after controls) shall be less than 50 tons per year or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and 10 tons of a single hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. The HAP emissions from these facilities include benzene, hexane, toluene, xylene and methyl-tertiary butyl-ether (MTBE). For purposes of Title V, other pollutants including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and PM-10 must also be emitted below the major source thresholds (see Title V facility definition in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1).
The Department will issue the synthetic minor permits no later than June 15, 1998. As a result the gasoline distribution maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standard in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R will not apply to the gasoline bulk terminals and/or pipeline breakout stations listed in this notice. Title V operating permits will not be issued to these facilities. Copies of the synthetic minor application, the proposed permit and other relevant documents are available for public inspection during normal business hours in the Department regional offices identified in this notice.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of these synthetic minor permits may submit the information to the appropriate Department Regional Office. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of protests or comments on the proposed permits. Each written protest or comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the commentator, the proposed permit number and a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a public hearing, a notice of the date, time and location of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
The final synthetic minor State-only operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that these facilities comply with applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
