Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa Code §§127.44-127.46 that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue an Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-04-00016K for an increase in volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides emissions that are associated with the existing Kiln/Sealed End Burner Source.

This plan approval has been conditioned to ensure compliance with all applicable rules including work practices, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions. Once compliance with the plan approval is demonstrated, the applicant will subsequently submit an application to modify the existing Title V Operating Permit for this facility.
