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 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. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

The property is currently an undeveloped track of land, however historically (late 1960s) the area contained two ponds. These ponds contained mine water, pumped from a nearby deep mining operation. It was reported that the sediment remained after the ponds were emptied and backfilled. The sediment layer is located at a depth of 8 to 12 feet below ground and is between 0 and 15 inches thick. Analytical results indicate that arsenic and iron are above the Act 2 residential MSCS for soils. A Statewide Health Standard will be achieved through excavation and disposal of the impacted sediment material.

   12-399-018: Quality Compacted Metals, Inc. (214 South Broad Street, Emporium, PA 15834) for modification of a sintered powdered metal products rust inhibitor dip coating operation in Emporium Borough, Cameron County.

   The rust inhibitor dip coating operation consists of two dip tanks which were exempt from plan approval when they were constructed in 2001 because the associated VOC emissions were less than 2.7 tpy. The proposed modification is an increase in the usage of coating such that the VOC emissions from the dip coating operation will be as high as 15 tpy.

   The facility in which the dip coating operation is located is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.

   The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Quality Compacted Metals, Inc. indicates that the dip coating operation will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the proposed modification, including the 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 proposed modification of the sintered powdered metal parts rust inhibitor dip coating 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 requirements:

   1.  The dip tanks shall not be heated.

   2.  The dip tanks shall be covered at all times except when parts are being dipped or drained or when coating is being added to, or removed from, the tanks.

   3.  The coating used in the dip tanks shall not contain any VHAPs and shall have a maximum vapor pressure of .53 millimeter of mercury at 68° F. The coating shall be used as it is received from the coating supplier or vendor. No additives of any kind shall be added to the coating onsite or to the dip tanks.

   4.  Only sintered metal parts shall be processed through the dip tanks.

   5.  Hot or warm parts shall not be processed through the dip tanks. All parts shall be allowed to cool to room temperature before they are dipped in the dip tanks.

   6.  All parts shall be drained over the dip tanks for at least 15 seconds after being dipped or for the time it takes for the dripping of liquid coating from the parts to cease, whichever is longer. Parts having cavities or holes shall be tipped or rotated while the part is draining to allow liquid coating to drain into the dip tanks.

   7.  No fans shall be located or positioned so that they blow across the opening of a dip tank.

   8.  The total combined VOC emissions from the dip coating operation shall not exceed 15 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   9.  Comprehensive accurate records shall be maintained of the identity, vapor pressure, VOC content, VHAP content and amount of coating added to the dip tanks during each month. These records shall be submitted to the Department on an annual basis.
