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 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 before which the notice appears.

41-399-027A: Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc. (2940 Reach Road, Williamsport, PA 17701) for the modification of a paperboard/plastic film gluing operation located at 64 River Road in Porter Township, Lycoming County.
The facility in which the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation is located is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The proposed modifications are an increase in the amount of glue used in the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation, the use of a glue with a higher volatile HAP content and an increase in the amount of cleanup solvent used. The resultant VOC emissions will increase from a maximum of 11.27 tons per year to a maximum of 15.95 tons per year and the volatile hazardous air pollutant emissions will increase from a maximum .82 ton per year to a maximum of 2.46 tons per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Smurfit-Stone Container Enterprises, Inc. indicates that the proposed paperboard/plastic film gluing operation will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. No more than 7,200 gallons of adhesives/glues shall be used in the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation in any 12-consecutive month period.
2. No more than a combined total of 100 gallons of any VOC-containing or volatile HAP-containing material, other than adhesives/glues, shall be used in, or in association with, the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation in any 12-consecutive month period. This includes cleanup solvents.
3. The adhesives/glues used in the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation shall not contain VOCs in excess of 4.34 pounds of VOCs per gallon of adhesive/glue nor shall they contain volatile hazardous air pollutants in excess of .63 pound of volatile HAPs per gallon of adhesive/glue.
4. Adhesives/glues are to be used as they are received from the vendor. No thinner, reducer or other additive is to be mixed with any adhesive/glue onsite.
5. The volatile HAP content of any volatile HAP-containing material, other than adhesives/glues, used in, or in association with, the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation shall not exceed 3.76 pounds of volatile HAPs per gallon of material. This includes cleanup solvents.
6. The concentration of PM in the exhaust of the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation shall not exceed .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent gas volume. Additionally, there shall be no visible emissions from the exhaust other than water vapor or steam.
7. The total combined VOC emissions from the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation shall not exceed 15.95 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the total combined volatile HAP emissions shall not exceed 2.46 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
8. Adhesive/glue application occurring at this site shall take place in a spray booth which is exhausted to the atmosphere through spray booth filters. Spare spray booth filters shall be kept onsite.
9. VOC-containing materials, volatile HAP-containing materials and acetone-containing materials used in, or in association with, the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation shall be stored in closed containers when not in actual use. Adhesive/glue spray lines, guns, and the like, shall be cleaned by either flushing a solid liquid stream of solvent into an appropriate container or by soaking equipment in closed containers of liquid solvent. Cleaning solvents shall not be sprayed or flushed from a spray gun, nozzle or line directly into the air, nor shall they be flushed into a container as an atomized spray. Used cleaning solvent and all solvent-wet rags or cloths shall be stored in closed containers when not in actual use and shall never be treated in any manner which would unnecessarily promote the evaporative loss of cleaning solvent to the atmosphere.
10. Records shall be maintained of the identity, composition and amount of each adhesive/glue, cleanup solvent and any other VOC-containing or volatile HAP-containing material used in the paperboard/plastic film gluing operation each month.
