ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Proposed Certification that the Commonwealth's Existing Nonattainment New Source Review Program Addresses the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard State Implementation Plan Requirements Rule
[50 Pa.B. 3805]
[Saturday, July 25, 2020]

 The Commonwealth proposes to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to certify that the Commonwealth's previously approved Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations in 25 Pa. Code §§ 121.1 and 127.201—127.218 (relating to definitions; and new source review) apply Statewide, cover the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-NJ-MD-DE nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and are sufficient for the purpose of meeting Federal requirements for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. After consideration of comments received, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will finalize and submit the SIP revision to the EPA for approval.

 For nonattainment areas, sections 172(c)(5), 173 and 182a (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7502(c)(5), 7503 and 7511a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) require states to submit NNSR plans or plan revisions no later than 36 months after the effective date of area designations for the NAAQS. NNSR requirements for the 2015 ozone NAAQS are found at 40 CFR 51.165 (relating to permit requirements). The EPA previously approved a Commonwealth-wide NNSR SIP revision, which covered all Commonwealth nonattainment areas to meet the EPA's 2002 NSR Reform regulations published at 77 FR 28261 (May 14, 2012). For the 2015 ozone NAAQS, the NNSR plans or plan revisions for marginal nonattainment areas are due August 3, 2020, and the areas must be in attainment for the ozone NAAQS by August 3, 2021, which is 36 months after the effective date of the EPA's area designations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS published at 83 FR 25776.'' (June 4, 2018). The Commonwealth's certification of its existing NNSR program addresses the NNSR plan revision needed for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS.

 The proposed SIP revision and supporting documents are available on the Department's web site at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment or by contacting Amanda Rodriguez at amarodrigu@pa.gov or (717) 787-9702.

 In accordance with Governor Tom Wolf's emergency disaster declaration and based on advice from the Department of Health regarding the mitigation of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Department will provide the opportunity for a virtual public hearing to receive comments on the proposed SIP revision on Thursday, August 27, 2020 at 1 p.m. This virtual public hearing will be accessible Statewide.

 Persons wishing to join the hearing may do so remotely. Information will be provided on the Bureau of Air Quality's webpage at www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Air/BAQ/Pages/default.aspx.

 Persons wishing to present testimony should contact Amanda Rodriguez, P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105, amarodrigupa.gov or (717) 787-9702 to reserve a time.

Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105.

 If by 12 p.m. on Monday, August 24, 2020, no person has expressed an interest in testifying at the hearing, the hearing will be cancelled. If the hearing is cancelled, the Department will provide public notice on the Bureau of Air Quality's webpage at www.dep.pa.gov/Business/Air/BAQ/Pages/default.aspx. Persons may also contact the Department to find out if the hearing is cancelled by contacting Amanda Rodriguez at amarodrigu@pa.gov or (717) 787-9702.

Commenters are encouraged to submit comments using the Department's online eComment tool at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment or by e-mail to ecomment@pa.gov.

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:
<https://www.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx>). 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 Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German 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:
<https://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 in part by hand using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it may omit relevant permits.

Parcel data is provided via the tax records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment Office (http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/). Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are determined as the mapped parcel containing a given latitude and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to error, and are not official. In cases where a facility is leased and there is a separate parcel id for the lease, if this parcel id is not separately mapped, the parcel id shown will be the id for the enclosing parcel. Parcel owners may be surface owners only and may or may not have any relationship to oil & gas facilities.

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.
