Plan Approval Description

This plan approval is for the repowering of the Sunbury Generation facility. This project will be for the construction of three (3) 

natural gas fired F class combustion turbines coupled with three (3) heat recovery steam generators (HSRGs) equipped with 

natural gas fired duct burners. The project will also be for the construction of a natural gas fired auxiliary boiler to assist with startup and shutdown activities and a small natural gas fired dew point heater. As part of the project all of the facility's existing coal fired 

utility boilers will be permanently retired.

Public Records and Confidential Information

Words and terms that are not otherwise defined in this plan approval shall have the meanings set forth in Section 3 of 

the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. § 4003) and 25 Pa. Code § 121.1.

The issuance of this plan approval does not prevent the future adoption by the Department of any rules, regulations or 

standards, or the issuance of orders necessary to comply with the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act or the 

Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act, or to achieve or maintain ambient air quality standards. The issuance of this 

plan approval shall not be construed to limit the Department's enforcement authority.

This plan approval authorizes temporary operation of the source(s) covered by this plan approval provided the following 

conditions are met.

(a) When construction, installation, modification, or reactivation is being conducted, the permittee shall provide written 

notice to the Department of the completion of the activity approved by this plan approval and the permittee's intent to 

commence operation at least five (5) working days prior to the completion of said activity. The notice shall state when 

the activity will be completed and when the permittee expects to commence operation. When the activity involves 

multiple sources on different time schedules, notice is required for the commencement of operation of each source.

(b) Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 127.12b (d), temporary operation of the source(s) is authorized to facilitate the 

shakedown of sources and air cleaning devices, to permit operations pending the issuance of a permit under 25 Pa. 

Code Chapter 127, Subchapter F (relating to operating permits) or Subchapter G (relating to Title V operating permits) 

or to permit the evaluation of the air contaminant aspects of the source.

(c) This plan approval authorizes a temporary operation period not to exceed 180 days from the date of commencement

of operation, provided the Department receives notice from the permittee pursuant to paragraph (a), above.

(d) The permittee may request an extension of the 180-day shakedown period if further evaluation of the air 

contamination aspects of the source(s) is necessary. The request for an extension shall be submitted, in writing, to the 

Department at least 15 days prior to the end of the initial 180-day shakedown period and shall provide a description of 

the compliance status of the source, a detailed schedule for establishing compliance, and the reasons compliance 

has not been established. This temporary operation period will be valid for a limited time and may be extended for 

additional limited periods, each not to exceed 180 days.

(e) The notice submitted by the permittee pursuant to subpart (a) above, prior to the expiration of the plan approval, shall

modify the plan approval expiration date on Page 1 of this plan approval. The new plan approval expiration date shall be

180 days from the date of commencement of operation.

The permittee shall maintain and operate the sources and associated air cleaning devices in accordance with good 

engineering practice as described in the plan approval application submitted to the Department.

(a) The records, reports or information obtained by the Department or referred to at public hearings shall be available to

the public, except as provided in paragraph (b) of this condition.

(b) Upon cause shown by the permittee that the records, reports or information, or a particular portion thereof, but not 

emission data, to which the Department has access under the act, if made public, would divulge production or sales 

figures or methods, processes or production unique to that person or would otherwise tend to affect adversely the

7412(d) and 7414(c)). Nothing in this section prevents disclosure of the report, record or information to Federal, State or

local representatives as necessary for purposes of administration of Federal, State or local air pollution control laws, or 

when relevant in a proceeding under the act.

[Additional authority for this condition is derived from 25 Pa. Code Section 127.13]

(a) This plan approval will be valid for a limited time, as specified by the expiration date contained on Page 1 of this plan

approval. Except as provided in § § 127.11a and 127.215 (relating to reactivation of sources; and reactivation), at the 

end of the time, if the construction, modification, reactivation or installation has not been completed, a new plan 

approval application or an extension of the previous approval will be required.

(b) If construction has commenced, but cannot be completed before the expiration of this plan approval, an extension of 

the plan approval must be obtained to continue construction. To allow adequate time for departmental action, a request

for the extension shall be postmarked at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. The request for an extension 

shall include the following:

 (i) A justification for the extension,

 (ii) A schedule for the completion of the construction

If construction has not commenced before the expiration of this plan approval, then a new plan approval application 

must be submitted and approval obtained before construction can commence.

(c) If the construction, modification or installation is not commenced within 18 months of the issuance of this plan 

approval or if there is more than an 18-month lapse in construction, modification or installation, a new plan approval 

application that meets the requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B (related to plan approval 

requirements), Subchapter D (related to prevention of significant deterioration of air quality), and Subchapter E (related 

to new source review) shall be submitted. The Department may extend the 18-month period upon a satisfactory 

showing that an extension is justified.

(a) This plan approval may not be transferred from one person to another except when a change of ownership is 

demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Department and the Department approves the transfer of the plan approval in 

writing. 

(b) Section 127.12a (relating to compliance review) applies to a request for transfer of a plan approval. A compliance 

review form shall accompany the request.

(c) This plan approval is valid only for the specific source and the specific location of the source as described in the 

application.

personnel in the performance of any duty authorized under the Air Pollution Control Act.

(b) The permittee shall also allow the Department to have access at reasonable times to said sources and associated 

air cleaning devices with such measuring and recording equipment, including equipment recording visual 

observations, as the Department deems necessary and proper for performing its duties and for the effective 

enforcement of the Air Pollution Control Act and regulations adopted under the act.
