AIR QUALITY 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 to schedule an appointment.
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 Department 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.

In accordance with § 127.541, this Title V Operating Permit revision is to incorporate conditions of an amendment of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for CNG Transmission Corporation.
In accordance with §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a natural gas compressor facility (Finnefrock Compressor Station) in Leidy Township, Clinton County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amendment of the RACT approval for the facility which are intended to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Title V Operating Permit TVOP-18-00005 issued on February 16, 2000, and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Title V Operating Permit TVOP-18-00005, as a revision to that permit, for a 4,200 horsepower natural gas-fired internal combustion engine (Engine 6), a 4,000 horsepower natural gas-fired internal combustion engine (Engine 4), a 778 horsepower natural gas-fired auxiliary generator and a 2.75 million BTU per hour natural gas-fired boiler:
Source RACT Engine 6 Nitrogen oxides emissions not to exceed 18.5 pounds per hour and 81.0 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and volatile organic compounds not to exceed 4.58 pounds per hour and 20.06 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. Engine 4 Nitrogen oxides not to exceed 35.24 pounds per hour and 154.35 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and volatile organic compounds not to exceed 2.43 pounds per hour and 10.63 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. Auxiliary generator Nitrogen oxides not to exceed 3.43 pounds per hour and volatile organic compounds not to exceed .68 pounds per hour. Additionally, the generator shall be operated for emergency purposes only except that it may be operated for nonemergency purposes for up to 250 hours in any 12 consecutive month period. Boiler The combined potential to emit volatile organic compounds from this boiler and the other boiler existing at the facility shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on July 6, 2000, at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
