PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

The 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 De- partment, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit permitting documents relevant to its

application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the neces- sary permits.

The Department received applications for Plan Approv- als or Operating Permits from the following facilities.

Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support mate- rials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate re- gional office to schedule appointments.

Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Per- mit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan Approval or Operat- ing 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 listed before the application. TDD users may contact the De- partment through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will con- tain 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 (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

Contact: James Beach, New Source Review Chief— Telephone: 484-250-5920

46-0287: Wallquest, Inc. (741 First Avenue, King of

Prussia, PA 19406), for the operation of an existing 6-color rotogravure press and three (3) existing proof presses at an existing commercial wallpaper production facility, which is located in Upper Merion Township,

Montgomery County.

The potential to emit volatile organic compounds (‘‘VOCs’’) from the facility exceeds 25 tons/yr, the major facility threshold for the Philadelphia Consolidated Met- ropolitan Statistical Area. However, Wallquest, Inc., has elected to restrict the VOC emissions from the facility to less than 25 tons/yr, categorizing the facility as Synthetic Minor.

Wallquest, Inc., has also elected to restrict hazardous air pollutant (‘‘HAP’’) emissions from the facility to less than 10 tons/yr for any individual HAP and less than 25 tons/yr for total HAPs. As a result, the rotogravure and proof presses are not subject to the provisions of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart KK, except for those specified in 40 C.F.R. § 63.829(d).

Since vinyl is the substrate for the majority of the wallpaper printed at the facility, the rotogravure and proof presses are subject to the provisions of 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Subpart FFF. To demonstrate compliance with these provisions, the inks used in the rotogravure and proof presses are required to meet a weighted average VOC content restriction of less than 1.0 kg VOC/kg ink, averaged on a monthly basis, amongst other require- ments.

The Plan Approval will include monitoring, recordkeep- ing, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

New Kensington, PA 15068) Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-65-01027A to allow the temporary operation of a logo printing facility located in Upper Burrell and Washington Townships, Westmore-

land County. Sources include individual printing pro-

cesses. Miscellaneous sources include natural gas-fired building heating sources and a natural gas-fired emer- gency generator. This facility will be classified as a synthetic minor facility.

Potential to emit from the facility is estimated to be 2.98 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 2.50 tons of carbon

monoxide (CO), 49.0 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 2.46 tons of toluene, 1.84 tons of methanol, 5.00 tons of total hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and 3,577 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per year. Best
