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, 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. Requests to be involved and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.

41-00013A: Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc. (2475 Trenton Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701) for installation of an air cleaning device, a regenerative thermal oxidizer, on seven existing aluminum coil coating lines at their facility in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (41-00013) has been issued.
The proposed regenerative thermal oxidizer will replace the six catalytic oxidizers currently used to control the VOC emissions from the seven coil coating lines and will provide an equivalent, or better, degree of control than is currently being provided by the catalytic oxidizers. The coil coating lines currently have the combined potential to emit up to 64.44 tons of VOCs in any 12 consecutive month period after the application of control, all of which is also legally allowed to be volatile hazardous air pollutants (the actual emission of volatile hazardous air pollutants has historically, however, been significantly less than this value).
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the coil coating lines will continue to comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer, including all applicable Title V operating permit conditions, the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52 and the requirements of Subpart TT of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.460--60.466. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval to install the regenerative thermal oxidizer.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The regenerative thermal oxidizer shall achieve a VOC destruction efficiency of at least 96% for the coil coating line identified as Source ID P204A at all times except when the VOC concentration in the inlet of the regenerative thermal oxidizer is less than 200 ppm and at least 95% at all times for the coil coating line identified as Source ID P206.
2. The overall capture and destruction efficiency for the coil coating line identified as Source ID P204A shall be at least 96% at all times except when the VOC concentration in the inlet of the regenerative thermal oxidizer is less than 200 ppm. The overall capture and destruction efficiency for each of the coil coating lines identified as Source ID P201, Source ID P202, Source ID P203, Source ID P204, Source ID P205 and Source ID P206 shall be at least 90% on a monthly average basis.
3. The coil coating line curing oven purge dampers shall be interlocked so that coating cannot be applied to the coil if the purge dampers are open to the atmosphere.
4. The coil coating lines shall not be operated if the regenerative thermal oxidizer is inoperable.
5. Upon any occasion that any of the coil coating lines are operated, a minimum regenerative thermal oxidizer combustion chamber temperature of 1,500°F shall be achieved prior to the commencement of coating and shall thereafter be maintained at all times while coating is occurring.
6. The regenerative thermal oxidizer shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor and record the combustion chamber temperature on a continuous basis.
7. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer, testing shall be performed to determine the VOC destruction efficiency of the regenerative thermal oxidizer as well as the VOC emission rate from the regenerative thermal oxidizer while all coil coating lines are operating and, additionally, while only one coil coating line is operating. The VOC capture efficiency for each coil coating line shall also be determined. Testing shall thereafter be performed every 2 years.
