PA-63-00922B: Robinson Power Co., LLC (PO Box 127, 563 Route 18, Burgettstown, PA 15021) for construction of a Gas Turbine Power Generating Facility, in Robinson Township, Washington County.
In accordance with 25 PA Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.45, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) intends to issue an Air Quality Plan Approval to Robinson Power Company LLC to authorize the construction of a Gas Turbine Power Generating Facility, in Robinson Township, Washington County.
The proposed facility will consist of: a gas-fired, combined cycle, GE frame 7EA gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) with a duct burner, a steam turbine generator, condenser, and auxiliary equipment- a diesel powered fire water pump and a cooling tower. The gas and steam turbines will generate 82.3 MW and 65.5 MW, respectively, for a total of 147.8 MW. Robinson proposes to utilize locally available Marcellus Shale gas consisting of a mixture of methane and ethane.
The proposed facility is subject to the applicable requirements of 25 PA Code, Chapters 121 through 145, 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts KKKK and IIII, (related to standards of performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines and Stationary Compression Internal Combustion Engines), 40 CFR Parts 72 through 78 (related to acid rain), and 25 PA Code Chapter 145 (related to the NOx budget program). The Department believes that the facility will meet these requirements by complying with the emission limitation, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice standards established in the proposed Plan Approval
Annual emissions from this facility will not exceed 30 tons oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 80 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 30 tons of non-methane organic compounds (NMOCs), 5 tons or sulfur dioxide (SO2), 30 tons of particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10), 0.4 tons formaldehyde, 5 tons of all HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) and 620,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e).
In accordance with PA Code Title 25 § 127.1, the Department has determined that best available technology (BAT) for the turbine/HRSG/duct burner includes the use of gas as a fuel, good combustion practices, dry low NOx combustors, low NOx burners, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and catalytic oxidation (CatOx). BAT for the diesel-fired fire water pump is the use of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, limitations on hours of operation and compliance with 60 CFR 60, Subpart IIII. BAT for the cooling tower is the use of a source designed to minimize drift to less than 0.0005%, and control of the solids content of the cooling tower fluid through testing and appropriate purge/makeup.
Application and other supporting documentation are available at the address shown below. Any person wishing to either object to issuance of the plan approval or a proposed condition thereof, or to provide the Department with additional information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the plan approval, or to request a hearing may submit the information in writing to the Department. Written comments should be mailed to the Department at the address shown below. A comment period of 30 days from the date of publication of this notice shall exist. All comments must be received within thirty days of the date of this public notice. In accordance with PA Code Title 25 § 127.46, comments shall include the following:
1. Name, address, and telephone number of the person filing the comment.
2. Identification of the proposed plan approval issuance being opposed (PA-63000922B).
3. Concise statement of the objections to the plan approval issuance, and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based

26-00590: Carlisle Construction Materials (PO Box 7000, Carlisle, PA 17013) for installation and initial temporary operation of an Insulfoam expanded polystyrene block molded product line at their Hunter Panels LLC facility in Georges Township, Fayette County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval No. 26-00590 to Carlisle Construction Materials to allow the installation and initial temporary operation of an Insulfoam expanded polystyrene block molded product line at the Hunter Panels LLC facility located off of Summit View Drive in the Fayette Industrial Park, Georges Township, Fayette County. The proposed system will include collection and control of emissions of pentane released during the manufacturing process from the pre-expansion and molding process; a permanent total enclosure with capture from the bead aging process; and destruction of captured emissions via a regenerative thermal oxidizer. Emissions that escape the collection system as well as those from product storage areas will be emitted as fugitive emissions.
Annual potential emissions from the project are estimated to be 49.3 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 5.5 tons of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), 3.5 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 4.2 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), less than 1.0 ton of particulate matter (PM), and less than 1.0 ton of sulfur dioxide (SOx). Hunter Panels, LLC as a subsidiary (which is shared ownership with Insulfoam) of the parent corporation Carlisle Construction Materials. Neither the Hunter Panels, LLC facility nor the proposed project by Carlisle Construction Materials is major by itself. This review has been conducted considering Carlisle Construction Materials and Hunter Panels, LLC as a single facility as defined by Title 25 Pa Code Section 121.1 and as a result of the proposed project the facility will become major for Title V purposes. The project does not trigger the requirements of Title 25 PA Code Subchapters D or E. The Plan Approval has been conditioned to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and will include federally enforceable emission limitations on allowable, visible, fugitive, and malodorus emissions, as well as, requirements for stack testing, monitoring, proper maintenance, record keeping, and emission reporting. Once compliance with the Plan Approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently apply for a Title V Operating Permit in accordance with Title 25 PA Code Subchapter G.
Those who wish to provide the Department with additional written information that they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to: Mark Gorog, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222.

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. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
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 BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 77 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 *The parameter is applicable at all times. 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 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. 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.

The PTJMA's WWTP discharges wastewater to the Wiconisco Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River. The project is subject to nutrient cap loads due to the Chesapeake Bay requirements.
The Department's review of the Plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts from the proposal. Any required NPDES permits or WQM permits must be obtained in the name of the Porter-Tower Joint Municipal Authority.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Public Notice of First Modification to the January 28, 2009 Consent Order and Agreement DuPont/New Castle Junk Site City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County Pursuant to Section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (''HSCA''), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''Department'') has agreed to modify the January 28, 2009 Consent Order and Agreement (''2009 CO&A'') with CJLM Real Estate, L.P. (''CJLM'') regarding the transfer of a certain parcel of property known as ''Riverview Parcel 3'' located on a portion of the DuPont/New Castle Junk Site (''Site'').
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department and some of the responsible persons for the Site conducted a response action at the Site between 1992 and 2002. This response action included treatment of wastes and soils contaminated by hazardous substances, followed by placement of a soil cap on one portion of the treated wastes at a portion of the site referred to as the ''Battery Property''. Upon completion of the response action, the Battery Property at the Site was acquired by the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation (''LCEDC'') and made available for re-development. CJLM intends to purchase an additional 0.19 acre parcel from LCEDC and add it to Riverview Parcel 3, altering the previous definition as specified in the 2009 CO&A. The provisions in the Approved Management Plant contained in the 2009 CO&A shall apply to the additional parcel and an environmental covenant will be recorded for the additional parcel. CJLM is not a ''responsible party'' as defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the Department and LCEDC. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for sixty (60) days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with CJLM shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies CJLM, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mr. Gary Mechtly, Environmental Group Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mr. Mechtly, at 814-332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at 800-645-5984.
Notice of Interim Response T.P. Corporation Site
Duryea Borough, Luzerne CountyThe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. § 6020.101 et seq. (''HSCA''), has initiated a prompt interim response action at the T.P. Corporation Site (''Site''). This response has been undertaken pursuant to Sections 505(b) & (c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) & (c). The Site is located at 620 Foote Avenue in Duryea Borough, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
The Site contains abandoned chemical containers within a large building and one outbuilding. A site visit was conducted by the Department on February 9, 2011. Approximately 100-150, 55-gallon drums, 50-100, 35 gallon drums and 100, 5 gallon containers were observed within the building and one out building at the Site. The following chemical classes were documented as observed from labels on the drums: Flammable Solids and Liquids, Acids (Sulfuric Acid), Potassium Hydroxide, paint and acetone.
These containers were stored in proximity to each other without any secondary containment to prevent the mixing of incompatible chemicals should they leak. Mixing of incompatible chemical could cause a fire and/or an air release that could pose a threat to nearby residential occupants and recreational area users. Although the building has been secured by the owner, it appears the building has been vandalized and the abandoned chemicals present a potential threat and pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. Some of the chemical pose threats from direct contact, toxicity, flammability, or reactivity.
The Department has determined that the following hazardous substances as defined by HSCA have been abandoned and therefore, released as defined by HSCA, or present a threat of release at the Site: Sulfuric Acid (Acids) and Potassium Hydroxide (Base)—(Corrosive Hazardous Waste—D002), Paint, Acetone and other Flammable Liquids and Solids (Flammable Liquids and Ignitable Hazardous Waste—D001).
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred and that the threat of a release of hazardous substances exists and that an ongoing release is likely if no actions are taken, the Department is authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a).
A Prompt Interim Response is justified at this Site for the following reasons: Characterization and removal of the hazardous substances and wastes is needed in a time frame that prohibits developing and closing an administrative record prior to response initiation given the condition of the building and the potential threats to public health and the environment. This prompt interim response action will cost less than $1 million and take less than 1 year to implement.
The Department is undertaking a prompt interim response at the Site pursuant to its authority under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). Prompt action is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) No Action
2) Waste Removal and Off-Site Reuse, Recycling, or Disposal: This alternative includes the testing and classification of abandoned wastes and other materials in drums and smaller containers. After classification and lab-packing or consolidation of these chemicals, the containers will be prepared for shipment and staged and stored properly until they can be removed for reuse, recycling, or disposal at facilities approved by the Department.
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence, and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative 2 as the proposed interim response for the Site.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA 35 P. S. § 6020.501(b). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Duryea Borough Municipal Office, 315 Main Street, Duryea, Pennsylvania and is available for review Monday through Friday from 9 am to 12 pm and 1 pm to 3 pm. The administrative record will be open for comment from June 11, 2011 through September 9, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Jeremy Miller, Compliance Specialist, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for July 27, 2011 at 10 AM at the Duryea Borough Building, 15 Main Street, Duryea. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves removal and off-site reuse, recycling, and/or disposal of the hazardous substances and waste. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the July 27, 2011 hearing regarding this prompt interim response should register with Jeremy Miller before July 15, 2011 by telephone at (570) 826-2511, or in writing to Jeremy Miller at the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the July 27, 2011 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Jeremy Miller or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the
Potato Valley Run Watershed in Snyder County PennsylvaniaThe Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Potato Valley Run Watershed in Snyder County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation from agriculture.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Potato Valley Run Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, low intensity development and stream bank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the
Silver Creek Watershed in Snyder County PennsylvaniaThe Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Silver Creek Watershed in Snyder County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation from grazing related agriculture.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Silver Creek Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and stream bank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
