Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. 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 the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as 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 or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the Act, will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under Sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the Act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, 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 the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Allowance Program
Proposed State Only Operating Permit that includes Conditions relating to NOx Allowance Requirements in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue an Operating Permit that includes allocations under the provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.101--123.120 (relating to NOx allowance requirements). These regulations establish a NOx budget and a NOx allowance trading program for NOx affected sources for the purpose of achieving the health-based ozone ambient air quality standard. A NOx affected source is defined as a fossil fuel fired indirect heat exchange combustion unit with a maximum rated heat input capacity of 250 MMBtu/hour or more and all fossil fuel fired electric generating facilities rated at 15 megawatts or greater or any other source that voluntarily opts to become a NOx affected source.
Specifically the Department proposes, under 25 Pa. Code § 123.115, to provide a NOx allowance allocations for Duquesne Light Company's Brunot Island facility (now owned and operated by Orion Power MidWest, L.P.). These allowances will be allocated when the facility becomes fully operational and cannot be banked or traded.
The operating permit requires the owner or operator of each NOx affected source to hold a quantity of NOx allowances meeting the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.110(a) by December 31, of each calendar year. One NOx Allowance is the limited authorization to emit one ton of NOx during the NOx Allowance Control Period, which begins May 1 of each year and ends September 30 of the same year. The NOx allowances held in the source's current year NOx Allowance Tracking System (NATS) account must be equal to or greater than the total NOx emitted from the source during the year's NOx allowance control period. The initial NOx allowance control period began on May 1, 1999.
The operating permit also includes emission monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for each NOx affected source. NOx emissions from each NOx affected source shall be monitored in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 123.108 and the procedures contained in the document titled ''Guidance for Implementation of Emission Monitoring Requirements for the NOx Budget Program.''
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed revised operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed permits. Any comments or protests filed at the address must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation, where the facility is located, at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Copies of the proposed permits and other relevant information are available for review at the address given:
