An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in a Special Industrial Area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site.

This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified, a municipality may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

(RACT)

Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds and Notice of Public Hearing

   Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc., Williamsport, Lycoming County.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a coil coating and aluminum rolling facility owned and operated by Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc. in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.

   The proposed SIP revision does not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.

   The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Operating Permit No. OP-41-0007 issued on March 20, 1996 and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.

   The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Operating Permit No. OP-41-0007 for various ancillary operations associated with the facility's coal coating lines as a revision to the respective permit:

   1)  The combined volatile organic compound emissions from the coating solutions mixing area and associated cleanup operations (Mixing Building operations) shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.

   2)  The combined volatile organic compound emissions from the coating solutions storage area, coating transfer operations, associated cleanup operations and coil coating line cleanup operations (Main Plant preparation and cleanup operations) shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.

   3)  The combined volatile organic compound emissions from 21 natural gas-fired space and process heaters, all with heat inputs of less than 10,000,000 BTU per hour, shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.

   4)  Rags used during the hand cleaning of coating line equipment with organic solvents shall be stored in closed containers prior to reuse or disposal and shall not be subjected to air drying or any other treatment process intended to intentionally promote the evaporative loss of organic solvent. All containers of volatile organic compound-containing materials shall remain closed when not in actual use.

   The Department also proposes to revise a condition of Operating Permit No. OP-41-0007 which restricted the materials which could be used as coolant/lubricants on two aluminum cold rolling mills to allow the use of additional materials and to add a requirement to the respective permit which requires the performance of volatile organic compound testing on both rolling mills prior to the expiration of the permit.

   One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on November 5, 1997 at 1 p.m. at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.

   Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.

Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Nitrogen Oxides (NOx); Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology Plan and Operating Permit; Public Hearing

Dauphin County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Hershey Chocolate USA's chocolate candy and confectionery manufacturing facility located in Derry Township, Dauphin County.

   The proposed SIP revision does not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Operating Permit No. 22-2004A for the existing Hershey East Plant to comply with current regulations. Upon final approval, the operating permit will include emission limits, fuel usage restrictions, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for four boilers. The permit will also establish emission reduction credits (ERC) available to the company from the previous shutdown of one boiler and the curtailment of two of the remaining boilers.

   An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 540-5018 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

   A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and SIP revisions. The hearing will be held on October 20, 1997, at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110 from 1 p.m. until all scheduled comments on the proposed action are received.

   Those wishing to comment are requested to contact Sandra Roderick at (717) 541-7969 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to schedule their testimony. Commentators are requested to provide two written copies of their remarks at the time of the hearing. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual.
