26-00405: Dominion Transmission, Inc. (500 Dominion Boulevard, Glen Allen, VA 23060). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424, 127.425 and 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is providing notice that it intends to issue a renewal Title V Operating Permit (TV-26-00405) to Dominion Transmission, Inc. for the operation of their North Summit Compressor Station located in North Union Township, Fayette County.

 The main sources of emissions at the facility include two 3,200 bhp stationary reciprocating internal combustion compressor engines, one 668 bhp stationary reciprocating internal combustion engine driving an emergency electric generator, two 25.0 mmbtu/hr heaters, one natural gas dehydration heater unit with two 5.25 mmbtu/hr burners, and one 3.57 mmbtu/hr boiler. All emission sources are natural gas fired.

 The North Summit Compressor Station is a major facility subject to the operating permit requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F (relating to operating permit requirements) and G (relating to Title V operating permit requirements). Actual emissions from the facility for 2014 were reported as follows: 13.51 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 21.38 tons per year of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 1.85 ton per year of particulate matter less than 10-microns (PM10), 1.85 ton per year of particulate matter less than 2.5-microns (PM2.5), 0.05 ton per year of sulfur oxides (SOx), 7.15 tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 1.71 ton per year of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and 6,787 tons per year of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

 The emission restrictions and testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions of the TVOP have been derived from the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 52, 60, 61, 63, and 70, and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145.

 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 the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 412.442.4000.

 Any person may submit comments, a request for the Department to hold a public hearing, or a protest to the operating permit or a proposed condition thereof, by filing such submissions in writing with the Department at the Southwest Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments.

 All requests for a public hearing, and all protests to a proposed action, shall be filed with the Department within 30 days of the date that notice of the proposed action was published under 25 Pa. Code § 127.424 (relating to public notice). A protest must include the name, address and telephone number of the person filing the protest, identification of the proposed permit issuance being opposed (Title V Operating Permit 26-00405) and a concise statement of the objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.

 A public hearing may be held in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.429, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. If a public hearing is held, all persons who have properly filed a protest under 25 Pa. Code § 127.426 may appear and give testimony. The applicant, the protestant and other participants will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing (and the time, place and purpose of such hearing) by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient.

 Written comments, protests, and requests for a public hearing should be directed to Nicholas J. Waryanka, Air Quality Engineer, Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. For additional information concerning the permit or the issuance procedure, contact Nicholas J. Waryanka at 412.442.4172.

Notes:

[None]

------------------------

DEP defines an environmental justice area as "any census tract where 20 percent or more individuals live in poverty, and/or 30 percent or more of the population is minority". (See:
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/pa_environmental_justice_areas/20991>
<http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_enhanced_public_participation_policy/20988>
). There are supposed to be enhanced public participation requirements for permits in environmental justice areas, but news of this actually ever happening is scarce. In Fayette County, the entirety of Springhill, Nicholson, German, and Georges Townships are environmental justice areas, as well as a large part of Dunbar Township. DEP's policy document on public participation guidelines for environmental justice areas is located here:
<http://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/Get/Version-48671/012-0501-002.pdf>

eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.

Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.

Disclaimers:

This compilation from the above sources was done by hand using copy and paste and may omit relevant permits.

Does not currently include water supply permits. Does not include landfill permits even though many such are for Marcellus Shale waste. (It is not possible at this time to distinguish which landfill permits are for Marcellus Shale waste and which are not without doing File Review for each permit.)

Erosion & Sedimentation permit records do not currently include latitude and longitude. Where I am publishing latitude and longitude with E&S permits it is by inferring an associated well permit and using published latitude and longitude for the well. It is possible I may be inferring the wrong well site.

Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site. The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
