45-302-076: Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. (Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370) for installation and operation of two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil fired Johnston boilers (Nos. 11 and 12) at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Plan Approval Nos. 45-302-076, 45-399-016 and 45-329-001 to Sanofi Pasteur, Inc, Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370 for their facility in Pocono Township, Monroe County. These plan approvals will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit No. 45-00005 through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan approval No. 45-302-076 is for the installation and operation of two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil fired Johnston boilers (Nos. 11 and 12) at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The designed rated heat input to boiler Nos. 11 and 12 will be 30.98 mmBtu/hr for No. 2 oil and 32.3 mmBtu/hr for natural gas. Each boiler will fire No. 2 fuel oil as a primary fuel and natural gas as a backup and using a forced draft low NOX burner with internal flue gas recirculation. Also the company will convert three existing boilers, boilers 1--3 from No. 6 fuel oil to No. 2 fuel oil with low NOx burners and internal flue gas recirculation (IFGR). One additional fuel oil storage tank is also proposed.
The following emission limitations are set for each new boiler.
NOx emissions-- From BAT, 30 PPM @ 3% O2 when firing with natural gas.
90 PPM @ 3% O2 when firing with No. 2 fuel oil.CO emission-- From BAT, 100 PPM at 3% O2.
Plan Approval No. 45-399-016 is for the installation and operation of Influenza Vaccine Manufacturing Process equipment at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The influenza vaccine manufacturing process uses eggs. The eggs are inoculated with influenza virus, incubated and refrigerated and processed through various steps to produce vaccine products. The eggs residue from the vaccine production area is processed through jacked ribbon blender and dryer. The dried egg waste is packed and sent off site for disposal. The egg waste processing area is expected to generate certain odorous, predominantly sulfur-bearing compounds and minor amount of VOCs. Waste processing area hood, the ribbon blander and dryer will be exhausted through a thermal oxidizer to destroy malodors. The largest quantities of VOC emissions results from alcohol used to wipe surfaces for the disinfections and building wastewater. Only one area in the building handles buffering reagent, which is solids that may create dust. The area will be designed to perform all material handling activities under hoods that will be vented through a cartridge type Torit, or equivalent dust collector.
The following emissions will occur when operating the sources at a maximum rated capacity.
Process VOC PM10 Lb/hr Tons/yr Lb/hr Tons/yr Waste water 0.31 1.37 IPA wipe solvent use 0.22 0.96 Buffer preparation 0.6 2.63 Egg waste processing 0.0061 0.026 0.0044 0.02 Plan approval No. 45-329-001 is for the installation and operation of three diesel or No. 2 fuel oil fired emergency generators with internal combustion engines at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The generators will ensure that production in progress and stored product are not lost in the event of a power failure. Presently two of three generators are operating under a general permit and one emergency generator installed and operates under minor source exemption. This plan approval request that the existing three generators increase potential operation from 100 to 500 hours per year for operational flexibility.
The company has chosen a voluntary limitation for operation of each generator set to 500 hours per year based on 12-month rolling sum. The following emissions will occur from emergency generators based on 500 hour/yr operation limitations.
Pollutant Engine F-1 N-7 E-1 G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy PM 0.036 0.29 0.07 0.026 0.17 0.04 0.215 0.52 0.13 NOx 5.05 41.1 10.2 5.39 34.0 8.71 7.17 17.5 4.37 THC 0.10 0.81 0.2 0.11 0.71 0.18 0.25 0.61 0.15 CO 0.410 3.33 0.8 0.29 1.88 0.47 1.34 3.27 0.82 SOx 0.88 7.19 1.8 0.89 5.77 1.44 0.93 2.27 0.57
The facility is located in an area designated as a marginal nonattainment area for 03. The project area is also included in the northeast Ozone Transport Region. The facility is currently a major source for NOx emissions only. The Federally enforceable limit chosen by the company for the NOx emission will keep the proposed emission increase from the facility below the NSR applicability triggering thresholds from the proposed new sources. Thus, the addition of sources will not subject the facility to the provisions of NA NSR for NOx. Emissions of SO2, CO, NOx, TSP, PM10, lead, asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, fluorides, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, total reduced sulfur and reduced sulfur compounds associated with the proposed projects will be below the PSD significant emission rates as the company will maintained the emissions from the entire facility below the PSD PALs level and thus are not subject to PSD review.
Copies of the applications, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the applications are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

38-03051A: Grace Alloys (200 East Richland Avenue, Myerstown, PA 17067) for installation of a secondary aluminum sweat furnace in Myerstown Borough, Lebanon County. Annual facility emissions are estimated as 1.08 tons for PM, 2.19 tons for NOx and 1.84 tons for CO. The furnace is subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary Aluminum Plants. The plan approval and operating permit will include emission restrictions, testing requirements, work practice standards, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure the facility complies with the applicable air quality requirements.
67-03136A: Service Tire Truck Center, Inc. (3403 Concord Road, York, PA 17402) for installation of a truck retreading process in Springettsbury Township, York County.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
18-315-001B: First Quality Tissue, LLC (904 Woods Avenue, Lock Haven, PA 17815) for modification of gluing operations occurring in the converting area of a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility as well as for the reassessment of best available technology and lowest achievable emission rate requirements previously established for an additive, fabric release, used in the paper towel and tissue manufacturing process in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The proposed modification to the gluing operations is a significant increase in the amount of the various adhesives used. This increase will be accompanied by a 6.28 ton per year increase in the emission of VOCs from the gluing operations. This increase is necessitated by a gross underestimation by material suppliers of the permittee's true adhesive needs.
It should be noted that the increase in VOC emissions from the gluing operations will be less than it might otherwise have been due to the proposed use of a lower VOC content transfer glue.
The permittee has also proposed a significant increase in the amount of fabric release additive used in the paper towel and tissue manufacturing process, from 3.88 pounds per ton of product to 20 pounds per ton of product, but has offset the increase in usage by the proposed usage of a lower VOC content fabric release additive so that the net effect will be a decrease of 8.16 tons per year in the emission of VOCs resulting from the use of fabric release additive.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed modification to the gluing operations and the increased usage of fabric release additive should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the New Source Review provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. Conditions contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by a condition contained in this notice. If there is a conflict between a condition contained herein and a condition contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained herein rather than the conflicting condition contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001.
2. The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed 9.89 pounds per hour while manufacturing paper towel or other heavy stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed 1.09 pounds per hour.
The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper Machine No. 2 shall not exceed 9.89 pounds per hour while manufacturing paper towel or other heavy stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in paper machine No. 2 shall not exceed 1.09 pounds per hour.
3. The total combined emission of VOCs from dryer No. 1 incorporated in paper machine No. 1 shall not exceed 3.60 pounds per hour while manufacturing tissue paper or other light stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed .33 pound per hour.
The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper machine No. 2 shall not exceed 3.60 pounds per hour while manufacturing tissue paper or other light stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 2 shall not exceed .33 pound per hour.
4. The total combined emission of VOCs from each of the sources listed shall not exceed the respective limitation:
Paper machine No. 1 (includes wet-end, Dryer Nos. 1 and 2, glue containment area and DAF clarifier) 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (except as noted) Paper machine No. 2 (includes wet-end, Dryer Nos. 1 and. 2, glue containment area and DAF clarifier) 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (except as noted) Adhesives 7.05 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (total) Although the VOC emissions from each of the two paper machines may be up to 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the total emission of VOCs from both machines combined shall not exceed 89.16 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
5. The VOC content and vapor pressure of the fabric release additive used in this facility shall not exceed .23 pound per gallon and 10 millimeters of mercury at 20°C, respectively.

42. The plan approval will include additional monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to ensure compliance with the restrictions applied in the plan approval.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as required by the PSD regulations.
Emission sources that will be modified as a result of the proposed modifications were characterized in the model as twelve point sources. Building and stack downwash parameters for on-site ENS sources were entered into the model. These parameters were calculated by the PRIME version of the Building Profile Input Program (BPIPPRM version 04274).
Inventories entered into the model for the NAAQS analysis included 99 additional point and volume sources, which represent the permitted major CO emitting facilities within 50 km of the significant impact area (SIA) surrounding the facility. These sources are listed in Appendix F of the plan approval application.
Impacts from sources not directly modeled (e.g. natural sources, minor sources and distant major sources) were represented in the NAAQS analysis by conservatively monitored CO values from the Department's Erie CBD air quality monitor, which is located approximately 75 kilometers northwest of the facility. The Department suggested the use of the Erie CBD monitor as opposed to the Buffalo, NY monitor that was proposed in the application due to the closer proximity of the Erie CBD station to the modeled area. The Erie CBD monitor was relocated in October 2004. Due to this move, the most recent available three years of complete data are from 2001 to 2003. The highest, second-high 8-hour CO concentration from the Erie CBD was applied to the 8-hour analysis, as the highest reported CO value appears to have occurred during an isolated event in which meteorological conditions support that a major source local to the Erie CBD monitor significantly inflated the readings. There is no such CO source in the proximity of ENS, which is in a more rural setting than the Erie CBD monitor, hence the Department feels comfortable deeming the highest, second-high value as a conservative value for this set of circumstances.
Four receptor networks were utilized in this analysis. The entire modeling domain, extending approximately 8 kilometers from the center of the facility, was covered by a coarse 500-meter grid; a 100-meter grid extends out approximately 2 km from the center of the facility. Within 500 m of the center of the facility, receptors were placed on a 30 m grid to accompany the 25 m spacing that was applied along the fenceline of the facility. Receptor elevations were derived from 7.5-minute United States Geological Survey (USGS) digital elevation model (DEM) data. The extent and density of the receptors were appropriate to determine the maximum impacts for both the preliminary and NAAQS analyses.
ISC-PRIME utilized screen meteorological data. The meteorology data for this analysis was calculated using the METISC program as designed by Pat Hanrahan of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). All of the stability classes and wind speed were calculated at 1-degree intervals using the METISC program.
The estimated maximum 8-hour CO impacts exceed the Class II significant impact levels (SILs), published in Chapter C, Section IV.B of EPA's New Source Review (NSR) Workshop Manual (Draft, October 1990). A 'multisource' CO analysis was therefore required to demonstrate that the proposed facility modifications would not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the NAAQS standard. Increasing the 1-hour to 8-hour screening factor applied when utilizing screening meteorological data to 0.75 from the 0.7 that was submitted in the application increased the SIA to approximately 2 km. The model also estimates that the 8-hour CO impact is above the monitoring de minimis levels. The preconstruction ambient monitoring data requirement was fulfilled by conservatively applying existing data from the Department's monitoring station located in Erie.
The results of the preliminary analysis are summarized in the following table:

[Continued from previous Web Page] Table 1--Results of Preliminary Analysis Pollutant Averaging Period Maximum Impact Class II SIL Impact Area Radius de minimis level µg/m3 µg/m3 km µg/m3 CO 1-hour 1,434 2,000 N/A N/A 8-hour 2,664 500 2.0 575 In the 'multisource' analysis, the estimated model concentrations convey that the proposed facility modifications will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the CO NAAQS. The slight increase in the SIA required no further action, as all major CO sources located within 50 km of the altered SIA were contained within 50 km of the initial SIA.
Results of the NAAQS analysis are summarized in the following table:
Table 2--Results of NAAQS Analysis Pollutant Averaging Period Model Design Value Monitored Background Value Total Value NAAQS µg/m3 µg/m3 µg/m3 µg/m3 CO 1-hour 12,261 8,592 20,853 40,000 8-hour 3,851 5,155 9,006 10,000
Under 40 CFR 52.21(o), additional analyses were performed. It appears the air quality impact due to commercial, residential and industrial growth with the proposed modifications will be minimal as few additional employees will be necessary and an adequate local labor pool already exists in the area. No adverse impact to soils and vegetation is expected. CO emissions do not play a significant role in visibility degradation, thus the proposed modification is not expected to have an adverse effect on visibility.
The straight-line distance to the nearest mandatory Class I Area (Dolly Sods National Wilderness Area in West Virginia) is greater than 317 kilometers.

To place and maintain fill in 0.10 acre of wetland associated with a UNT to Reisinger Run (CWF) for the development residential townhouses. The 0.10 acre of permanent wetland impacts result from construction of roadways, stormwater collection and conveyances, and other utilities. In addition to the 0.10 acre of permanent wetland impacts, development construction will also result in the construction, operation and maintenance of two stream enclosures in the UNT to Reisinger Run (CWF). The first stream enclosure will be constructed south of Chestnut Avenue with a corrugated plastic pipe having a diameter of 21 inches and a length of 475 feet. The second enclosure will be constructed to carry Wood Street over the UNT with a corrugated plastic pipe having a diameter of 24 inches and a length of 120 feet. Both stream enclosures shall be constructed, operated and maintained to pass the 100-year frequency flood. As proposed, the project will permanently impact 0.10 acre of wetland and 595-feet waterway that is located along southern right-of-way of SR 4014 approximately 350 feet southwest of SR 4017 and SR 4014 intersection. The permittee shall mitigate the 0.10 acre of permanently impacted wetland onsite with a minimum of 0.10 acre of replacement wetland.
E55-208. Jackson Township Supervisor, R. R. 1, Box 324A, Winfield, PA 17889. Tuscarora Creek Bridge Replacement, in Jackson Township, Snyder County, ACOE Baltimore District (Middleburg, PA Quadrangle N: 21.4 inches; W: 0.9 inch).
The permit application proposes to remove the existing bridge structure and install a precast concrete box culvert. The culvert is intended to measure 63-feet long and be set on a 45° skew from the roadway. The new culvert is intended to have a 20-foot clear span and a 6-foot underclearance with a 1-foot depression. Additionally, the project proposes to relocate the stream channel to improve the existing alignment. Currently the stream bends at a 90° angle directly upstream of the existing structure. The new alignment will reduce that bend to a 45° angle and allow for better hydraulic capacity through the structure and lower the 25 year waters surface elevation. An overall loss of 15 linear feet of Tuscarora Creek, CWF, is proposed. There are no wetland impacts associated with this project and the total stream disturbance is intended to be 130 linear feet.

Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483.

For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Etters, PA 17319York Plan Description: A3-67945-332-2, Rick Drawbaugh: The plan consists of a two lot single-family residential subdivision on 6.33 acres with total proposed sewage flows of 400 gpd to be treated by an individual onlot disposal system. The proposed development is located on the south side of Steinhour Road, approximately 400 feet east of Kise Mill Road in Newberry Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because the hydrogeologic study included with the planning information received by the Department and required by 25 Pa. Code § 71.62(c) (relating to individual and community onlot sewage systems) indicates that the groundwater will be polluted on a portion of the property and the onsite sewage systems proposed for this subdivision will pollute the waters of this Commonwealth in violation of The Clean Streams Law. The condition is considered a nuisance and is prohibited. Specifically, the proposed groundwater easements are not located down gradient from the lots and/or septic systems they are intended to mitigate, and Lot 2 is not sized large to attenuate the nitrate-nitrogen on that lot.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (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, shall 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 refuse 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 after 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.

Plans and reports required by provisions of 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 refuse 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 provisions of 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 before 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.
