PREAMBLE 1


Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   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.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office after which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

   Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating 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 at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

(711 East College Avenue, Bellefonte, PA 16823) for construction of a stone crushing plant containing various pieces of sandstone crushing, screening, conveying, and the like, equipment at the Hagerman's Run (Plant 12) site in Armstrong Township, Lycoming County.

   Some of the stone crushing, screening, conveying, and the like, equipment for which plan approval has been requested was previously constructed and operated under the ''General Plan Approval and General Operating Permit for Portable Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants (BAQ-PGPA/GP-3)'' but is no longer eligible to operate under this general plan approval and operating permit. The remainder of the equipment for which plan approval has been requested will be new to the site. The particulate matter emissions (including PM10) from this equipment will be controlled by two fabric collectors and a water spray dust suppression system. The particulate matter emissions (including PM10) from the use of plant roadways will be controlled by a water truck and a truck wash station. The applicant projects that the resultant PM10 emissions will be up to 99.53 tons per year, most of which would occur as a result of truck traffic on plant roadways.

   The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the respective stone crushing plant will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants). Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the construction of the respective plant.

   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 air contaminant emissions from the crushing, screening, conveying, and the like, equipment shall be controlled by two fabric collectors and a water spray dust suppression system.

   2.  The crushing, screening, conveying, and the like, equipment shall not operate if the fabric collectors and water spray dust suppression system are inoperable.

   3.  The fabric collectors shall not emit particulate matter in excess of .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot.

   4.  The fabric collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the collectors and the associated air compressors shall be equipped with an air dryer and oil trap. Spare fabric collector bags shall also be kept on hand.

   5.  The water spray dust suppression system shall be connected to on-demand water source capable of delivering an adequate supply of water at any time.

   6.  A water truck shall be kept onsite and used, as needed, for the control of fugitive dust from plant roadways, stockpile areas, and the like.

   7.  All trucks exiting the facility shall pass through a truck wash station to remove dirt and mud from truck tires, undercarriages, and the like.

   8.  All trucks loaded from the facility's mineral filler storage silo shall be enclosed.

   9.  This plan approval does not authorize the construction, installation or operation of any generators, engines or engine/generator sets.

   10.  The facility shall not process more than 2,076,250 tons of stone per year nor shall the secondary crushing portion of the facility operate more than 3,218.19 hours per year.

   11.  Records shall be maintained of the tons of stone processed by the facility each month as well as the hours the secondary crushing portion of the facility operates each month. All records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
