AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. 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 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PA 58-329-002: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. (1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002) for construction and operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine at their facility in Clifford Township, Susquehanna 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 No. 58-329-002 to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, for their facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. The facility currently has Title V Permit No. 58-00001. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval No. 58-329-002 is for construction and operation of a simple cycle combustion turbine at their facility. Currently the company operates primarily three natural gas fired Solar Centaur recuperative turbines each rated at 3,333 hp at Station 321 under Title V operating permit No. 58-00001 in Clifford Township. These three combustion turbines used to move gas through the pipeline system. Natural gas used as a fuel for the turbines. The company has submitted this application to replace existing turbine Source ID 103 with a newer more efficient turbine. This project does not impact emissions from other sources at the site.
The proposed source is subject to the various State and Federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements.
A review of the information submitted by the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable State and Federal NSPS air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions increases from maximum operation of the turbine according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Tons Per Year NOx 7.36 VOCs 6.84 SO2 0.67 CO 25.13 Total PM 1.15 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place conditions in the plan approval.
The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

60-00014: Evangelical Community Hospital (1 Hospital Drive, Lewisburg, PA 17837) for renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a hospital facility in Kelly Township, Union County.
The facility consists of two 12.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers, a 9.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, a .145 mmBtu/hr No. 2 fuel oil-fired furnace, a 5.95 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired absorption chiller, four No. 2 fuel oil-fired emergency generators (390 hp, 750 hp, 750 hp and 135 hp), a 368 hp No. 2 fuel oil-fired fire pump engine, a 1.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired engine-driven chiller, an ethylene oxide sterilizer and two aboveground No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks (20,000 gallon capacity and 2,000 gallon capacity).
The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 79.3 tons of SOx, 37.8 tons of NOx, 16.4 tons of CO, 5.0 tons of PM/PM2.5/PM10, 2.2 tons of VOCs and .8 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 60-00014. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 60-00014 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of weekly inspections of the facility to detect the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at the facility are not likely to generate visible air contaminant, visible fugitive air contaminant and malodorous air contaminant emissions except under equipment malfunction conditions which would be likely to be detected, and corrected, long before the once per week inspection would be performed.
2. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been changed to exempt malfunctions which are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation or are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, noncompliance with a permit condition.
3. An 8.4 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler has been removed from the permit as it no longer exists at the facility and a 9.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler has been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.11 PM emission limitation and 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 SOx emission limitation as well as a condition limiting the fuels used in the respective boiler to natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil.
4. A condition containing an erroneously-stated CO emission limitation for the facility's two 12.55 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers has been corrected.
5. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the calculations used to verify compliance with the NOx and CO emission limitations for the facility's two 12.55 mmBtu/hr natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers and the PM and SOx emission limitations for the facility's emergency generators have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to demonstrate compliance with the respective NOx, CO and PM emission limitations by means of calculations alone and compliance with the respective SOx emission limitation can be determined by monitoring the sulfur content of the No. 2 fuel oil used in the generators, the maintenance of records of which are required by a condition contained elsewhere in the permit.
6. A 135 hp No. 2 fuel oil-fired emergency generator has been added to the permit.
7. Conditions specifying erroneous PM and SOx emission limitations for one of the facility's two chillers, a 1.5 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired engine-driven chiller, have been corrected.
8. Conditions prohibiting the storage of any VOC-containing liquid with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia in the facility's 20,000 gallon capacity and 2,000 gallon capacity aboveground No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks and requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the liquids stored in the tanks have been removed from the permit and replaced with conditions prohibiting the storage of anything other than No. 2 fuel oil in the respective tanks and requiring the maintenance of records of the identity of the materials stored in the tanks.
9. Conditions requiring the submission of semi-annual reports of the number of hours each emergency generator and the fire pump engine are operated each month are being changed to require the submission of annual reports.
10. Conditions have been added to the permit specifying the applicable requirements contained in Subpart WWWWW of the National Emission Standards for HAPs, 40 CFR 63.10382--63.10448 (National Emission Standards for HAPs for Hospital Ethylene Oxide Sterilizers) for the facility's ethylene oxide sterilizer.

[Continued from previous Web Page] COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be 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 Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application 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 § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall 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. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Public Notice of Proposed Consent
Order and AgreementBottle House Site
City of Allentown, Lehigh CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), notice is provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into de minimis settlements in the form of a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Americhem, Inc., ColorCo, Ciba Corporation (formerly Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation) and Novartis Corporation (formerly Ciba-Geigy Corporation), Penn Color Inc. and Univar USA Inc. (formerly Kramer Chemicals) (Settlors). The CO&A's address the investigation and removal of hazardous substances that were left on the Bottle House Site (Site) by the Settlors. The Settlors will reimburse the Department their portion of the costs incurred to perform the site investigation/response activities at the Site.
The Site is located at 401--451 North Front Street, Allentown, Lehigh County and consists of a large three-story brick building that was the former bottling house for the Neuweiler Brewery. Brewery operations ceased at this site in the late 1960s. The Site then became an industrial property being utilized as a warehouse and manufacturing facility, which is surrounded on three sides by family residences and by a community recreational area on the fourth side. The operations resulted in large quantities of hazardous substances and or contaminants being stored in the building. The Department alleges that the Settlors sent nominal amounts of hazardous substances and/or contaminants to the Site. The Department initiated a prompt interim response action under the HSCA on September 27, 1999. The objective of this prompt interim response action was to eliminate the immediate threat to human health and safety and the environment posed by the hazardous substances and/or contaminants that were present on the site. The response was completed on April 28, 2000, at a cost of $1,563,183.46.
The settlements proposed in each of the CO&A's referenced above would resolve certain potential claims of the Department solely against the Settlors, for future enforcement and reimbursement of response costs incurred by the Department in addressing the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. The claims originated under the authority of the HSCA. The proposed settlements would require the Settlors to pay the Department the amounts listed as follows for their portion of the response costs.
Settlor Amount Americhem $ 3,962.00 ColorCo $ 9,905.00 Ciba/Novartis $13,867.00 Penn Color, Inc. $ 5,943.00 Univar USA $19,810.00 The specific terms of the settlements are set forth in the CO&A's between the Department and the Settlors, which is available for public review and comment. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A's for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A's if the comments concerning the CO&A's disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A's are inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with the Settlors shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies the Settlors, in writing, that the CO&A's are final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A's, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the CO&A's are available for inspection at the Department's Northeast Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Joseph Iannuzzo, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. Further information may be obtained by contacting Joseph Iannuzzo at (570) 826-2511. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.

S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has initiated a prompt interim response action at the Delps Road Drum Site (Site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) and (c) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) and (c)). The Site is located along Delps Road near the intersection of Delps Road and Red Maple Drive in Lehigh Township, Northampton County, PA.
The Delps Road Site contains a relatively small disposal area (about 30 feet by 50 feet) containing buried drums of waste within a 46.4 acre parcel of property. The Township purchased the property in December 2002 for the purpose of developing a public park. On Monday, April 14, 2008, a sedimentation basin for the park was being constructed and the contractor uncovered buried drums of waste that had chemical odors and had released some of their contents.
The Department has determined that the following hazardous substances as defined by HSCA have been released or present a threat of release at the Site: acetone, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, 1,2 dicholoroethane, 1,2 dichloroethene, trichloroethene, benzo(a)anthracene, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, butyl benzyl phthalate, o-cresol, 2,4 dimethyl phenol, phenol, cadmium and lead.
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred 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)).
The buried 55-gallon drums of wastes were approximately 3 feet below existing grade and located within the berm of the sedimentation basin of the public park under construction. These wastes and the associated hazardous substances which have been released present a threat to human health and the environment. There is a potential for this disposal site to impact groundwater. The area surrounding the disposal area is rural and persons rely on individual private or public wells or springs for their water supply. There is no public water supply system near the Site. In addition, the public park will need to be served with a water supply well in the future.
A Prompt Interim Response is justified at this Site for the following reasons: There is no public water supply service to the area in the immediate vicinity of the Delps Road Site. Local residents and businesses rely upon private wells for their water supply needs. The release of the hazardous substances is a threat to contaminate soil, groundwater and water supplies. The Department believes that a Prompt Interim Response is needed at the Site and cannot delay the response for the time required to develop and close an Administrative Record. The Township cannot complete the construction of their park until the waste area is cleaned up and assessed.
The Department is undertaking a prompt interim response at the Site under its authority under Section 501(a) of HSCA. 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) The Department would excavate and remove the buried wastes and contaminated soils for offsite disposal and assess other potential disposal areas and conduct sampling to demonstrate attainment with the Statewide health standards for soils, if possible. The Department may install groundwater monitoring wells, test groundwater quality and conduct a hydrogeological investigation if it is determined that this work is necessary. In the event that the Department finds that an existing residential well or private water supply has been impacted by site-related contamination at levels that require a response, the Department may provide a temporary water supply to the affected residents and/or install a point-of-entry treatment (POET) system to treat the water supply. The Department may also reimburse the residents with the impacted water supply for their installation of a POET system by a contracted plumber or water treatment service in lieu of installation by the Department's contractors.
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, feasibility, permanence and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative 2 as the proposed interim response for the Site.
This notice is being provided under 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 Lehigh Township Municipal Building, 1069 Municipal Road, Walnutport, PA and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The administrative record will be open for comment from September 13, 2008, through December 12, 2008. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Ronald Schock, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, 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 October 21, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. at the Lehigh Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves excavation and removal of contaminated wastes and soil for offsite disposal. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the October 21, 2008, hearing regarding this prompt interim response should register with Ronald Schock before October 15, 2008 at (610) 861-2070 or in writing to Ronald Schock at the Department's Bethlehem District Office. If no person registers to present oral comments by the date specified previously listed, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the October 21, 2008, hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Ronald Schock or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

D36-235EA. Masonic Village of Elizabethtown, One Masonic Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022-2199.
To remove a small existing dam and legacy sediment that was deposited within the natural valley bottom along an approximately 3,200 foot section of Conoy Creek (TSF). The purpose of the project is to restore aquatic resources to a natural condition that existed prior to landclearing, mill daming and other postsettlement activities. Radiocarbon dating of buried presettlement era vegetation and other carbon sources at this site indicate that several feet of legacy sediment is stored within the project area. The interpretation of the site is that legacy sediment was stored here prior to 1931 when the existing dam was constructed. The excavation and removal of legacy sediment will reestablish as much as possible the natural ecological and landscape conditions. The dam removal and natural floodplain, stream and riparian wetland restoration site is located adjacent to Bainbridge Road, approximately 1 mile southwest of the intersection with Masonic Drive in Elizabethtown Borough, Lancaster County (Elizabethtown, PA Quadrangle 76° 37` 5" W; 40° 8` 3" N).
