    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. 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 permit 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

    SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

    PLAN APPROVAL


    Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1 -- 750.20)

       Northeast Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.

    City of Pottsville, Borough of Carbon,
    Schuylkill County

       The Department has completed its review of the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Special Study (Special Study), dated February 19, 1999 (received by the Department on February 23, 1999), with additional supporting documentation transmitted to the Department and dated April 5, 1999 (received by the Department on April 6, 1999), May 6, 1999 (received by the Department on May 7, 1999) and May 26, 1999 (received by the Department on May 26, 1999).

       The Department's review has found that the Special Study is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

       In conjunction with this approval, the Department is granting planning approval of the Sewage Facilities Planning Modules submitted for the proposed Yuengling Brewery Expansion (PADEP ID#-254-811-005-3) under separate cover.

       The Special Study calls for the abandonment of the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority's (Authority) Port Carbon Wastewater Pumping Station. The Port Carbon Pumping Station will be replaced with a new 6,300 foot, 24 inch PVC gravity interceptor line. This line will replace the existing sections of the 15 inch and 18 inch gravity interceptor and the existing 10 inch force main. The proposed 24 inch interceptor will be constructed between a manhole located at Anderson Street in the City of Pottsville and the existing Port Carbon Wastewater Pumping Station. The 24 inch interceptor line has been sized to accommodate present and future wastewater flows from areas currently served by the Port Carbon Wastewater Pumping Station. The 24 inch interceptor line will also possess capacity for the proposed Yuengling Brewery Expansion Project and future wastewater flows from the proposed Schuylkill Valley Sewer Authority wastewater collection and conveyance system.

       The Special Study also calls for the construction of a 2,100 foot, 12 inch, PVC wastewater collector line. This collector line will convey wastewater flows from the proposed Yuengling Brewery Pre-Treatment Facility to the proposed 24 inch gravity interceptor. The proposed wastewater flow to be treated at and discharged from the Yuengling Brewery Pre-Treatment Facility will not exceed 560,000 gpd.

       All wastewater from the project area will be treated at the Authority's Main Wastewater Treatment Facility. Since the Main Wastewater Treatment Facility is currently under a sewer connection prohibition, there was a need to obtain a connection allocation for the proposed Yuengling Brewery Expansion Project's wastewater flows of 560,000 gpd. On February 8, 1999, the Authority executed a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with the Department in exchange for a connection allocation of 2,133 EDU's or approximately 560,000 gpd.

       Financing of the proposed wastewater construction improvements is proposed to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). This includes the construction of the proposed Yuengling Brewery Pre-Treatment Facility. The pre-treatment facility will be owned by the Authority, but leased to and operated by D. G. Yuengling and Sons Inc.

       In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold the City of Pottsville and the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Special Study's selected wastewater disposal alternative, as listed in the Special Study, and its corresponding Schedule of Implementation.

       Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Special Study and this correspondence must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

The Department will provide a response to all significant comments received during the public comment period and the proposed consent decree authorizes the Department to withdraw or withhold its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on the comments received during the public comment period, that the consent decree is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest.

    Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

    Quality Container Corporation Site

    City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into multiple Consent Decrees for settlements with 10 parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Quality Container Corporation (QCC) site. The QCC site is a parcel of land of approximately 1.25 acres located in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, at the intersection of Collins Street and E. Ontario Street. The surrounding area is zoned commercial and residential.

       QCC operated a drum reconditioning facility from 1977 through 1990. QCC stopped operations in 1990 and subsequently abandoned the site leaving roll-off containers, drums and wastes generated by facility operations. In addition, process equipment on the site was not cleaned of wastes at the time the facility was abandoned. The roll-off containers, drums, process equipment, and abandoned wastes were not contained and were accessible to the public.

    [Continued from previous Web Page]

       Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the QCC site, the site was deemed as a HSCA site on August 12, 1994 under section 502 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.502. The Department subsequently implemented and completed an interim response from March 20, 1995 through February 8, 1996 to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred response costs of approximately $1.85 million related to the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.

       The Department has entered into Consent Decrees for settlements with the following Defendants in the matter of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection v. Borden Chemical, Inc., et al., 99-CV-647 (E.D. Pa.):  Borden Chemical, Inc., Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation, Novartis Corporation, Cookson Pigments, Inc., Daicolor-Pope, Inc., E. F., Houghton & Company, Millmaster Onyx Group and United States Printing Ink, A Division of Sun Chemical Corporation, for and in place of United States Printing Ink Corporation, National Starch and Chemical Co., Reichhold, Inc., and Zeneca, Inc.

       The proposed Consent Decrees with Defendants were lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on February 5, 1999. Under the terms of the Consent Decrees subject to this notice, the Department will receive a total of $960,478.09.

       This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.1113.

    MINING

    APPROVALS TO CONDUCT COAL AND NONCOAL ACTIVITIES

       The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Eighty Four Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 268(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Mine 84 concerning shelter hole construction. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

       Summary of the request:  Eighty Four Mining Company requested a variance from section 268(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act for a ''shelter hole notch'' to be cut into the clearance side coal rib at Mine 84. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 268(b).

       The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following conclusions:  Eighty Four Mining Company's request for ''shelter notches'' provides equal protection to the employes as compared to the alternative method which would require persons traveling underneath high voltage cable, trolley wire, and also exiting the vehicles and crossing the track in front of or behind vehicles.

       Advantages to the ''Shelter Notch'' are as follows:

       1.  The width and height of the notch are the same as a crosscut.

       2.  The dimensions of the notch are adequate given the absence of coal haulage equipment.

       3.  Persons are not required to travel near or under high voltage cables and/or trolley wire.

       This approval is limited to Eighty Four Mining Company's variance from the requirements in section 268(b). All other terms and requirements of section 268(b) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Mine 84's plan.

       The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Mears Enterprises, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Ondo Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

       Summary of the request:  Mears Enterprises, Inc. requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Ondo Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).

       The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:

       1.  Ondo's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, and audible alarm over the mine communication system.

       2.  Ondo's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.

       3.  Ondo's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.

       4.  There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.

       This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Ondo's approved plan.

       The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Helvetia Coal Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 268(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Lucerne No. 6 Extension Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

       Summary of the request:  Helvetia Coal Company requested a variance from section 268(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to extend shelter hole spacing to a maximum of 130 feet in the Stewart Run Stream area of D-Main for a distance of approximately 500 feet at the Lucerne No. 6 Extension Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 268(b).

       The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:

       1.  All rail equipment must stop and let workers enter the nearest shelter hole before proceeding.

       2.  The track haulage is used for transportation of personnel and mine supplies. Coal is transported by belt conveyor.

       3.  Signs will identify the area in question, and shelter hole location will be marked with a reflective indicator.

       This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 268(b) requiring that shelter hole spacing not exceed 80 feet. All other terms and requirements of section 268(b) shall remain in effect. This approval applies to the area specified. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Lucerne's approved plan and the following conditions:

       The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Pierpont Mining, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Pierpont No. 10 Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep.deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

       Summary of the request:  Pierpont Mining, Inc. requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Pierpont No. 10 Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).

       The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:

       1.  Pierpont's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, and audible alarm over the mine communication system.

       2.  Pierpont's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.

       3.  Pierpont's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.

       4.  There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.

       This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) [DEP1] requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) [DEP2] shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Pierpont Mining Inc.'s approved plan.
