PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

 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 Department, the regulated community and the general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.

 The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.

 Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.

 Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.

 A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.

 Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

 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 Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Intent to Issue Plan Approvals and Intent to Issue or Amend Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B. These actions may include the administrative amendments of an associated operating permit.

 08-00058A: Bradford County Real Estate Partners LLC (111 West 19th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10011) for the construction of a liquified natural gas (LNG) production facility consisting of two gas-fired compression turbines each rated at 509 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, three gas-fired turbine electric generators each rated at 142 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, two gas-fired steam boilers each rated at 58.2 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, one gas-fired regeneration heater rated at 36.6 MMBtu/hr, one thermal oxidizer rated at 42.8 MMBtu/hr, with bypass vent stack to control emissions from the acid gas removal system, and one multipoint ground flare rated at 2.6 MMBtu/hr designed to combust purge gas from the LNG storage tank and truck loadout system (as needed), fugitive vapor emissions from equipment leaks (i.e., valves, flanges, and seals) and fugitive emissions from facility roads, two diesel engines each rated 4423 bhp for emergency generators each rated at 3.0 MW, and two diesel firewater pumps each rated at 700 hp at the proposed BCRP/Natural Gas Processing Plant facility located in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County. The project also carries identification under New Fortress Energy.

 The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department's) review of the information submitted by the company indicates that the air contamination sources will comply with all regulatory requirements, including monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, and pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, 40 CFR 63.6580 through 63.6675; the Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219; the Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines, 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420; the Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for which Construction, Modification or Reconstruction Commenced After September 18, 2015, 40 CFR 60.5360a through 60.5499a; the Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, 40 CFR 60.40c through 60.48c; Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting, 40 CFR Part 98 Subparts A and D; 25 Pa. Code Chapter 123 and the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction.

 The emissions from all of the sources at the facility included in this project will not exceed the following limits: 95.90 TPY nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2), 90.04 TPY carbon monoxide (CO), 35.57 TPY volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 83.25 TPY sulfur oxides (SOx, expressed as SO2), 99.67 TPY total particulate matter (filterable plus condensable), 99.67 TPY particulate matter equal to or less than 10 microns (PM-10), 99.60 TPY particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 microns (PM-2.5), 8.77 TPY hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), 4.55 TPY any single HAP, 49.02 TPY ammonia, 24.56 TPY sulfur acid (H2SO4), and 1,107,670 TPY greenhouse gases (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, CO2e).

 In addition to the emission limitations, the following is a brief description of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval in order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements: limitations on NOx, CO, SOx, VOC, HAP, ammonia slip, formaldehyde, H2SO4, and PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions ppmvd at 15% O2 (or lb/MMBtu), lb/hr, and tpy; records of fuel usage, hours operated, hours of startups and shutdowns, source-level emissions calculations and facility-wide emissions records; startup and shutdown limitations; installation of pressure differential gauges and control device inlet temperature monitors; CEMS for NOx and CO emissions on the turbines and boilers; records of hours of operation and emissions calculations for the fire pump engine and emergency engine; emissions limits for the boilers and regeneration heater; fuel usage and emissions records for the boilers regeneration heater; work practice and monitoring requirements for the thermal oxidizer and ground flare; emissions records and fuel/throughput records for the thermal oxidizer and ground flare, quarterly LDAR and daily walk-around inspections. The facility is a State Only facility. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specifications of the application for Plan Approval 08-00058A, the applicants will subsequently apply for a State Only Operating Permit in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Subchapter F.

 All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-0550.
