UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907)
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Plan Approval # 39-00006B to American Craft Brewery, 7880 Penn Drive, Breinigsville, PA 18031-1508, for their plant located in Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County. The facility currently has Title V Permit No. 39-00006. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval No. 39-00006B is for the replacement of Packaging-Bottle Filler No.2 (Bottle Filler No.2) with a new bottle filler to fill malt beverage products. The new bottle filler is capable of filling bottles with any products without deteriorating the bottling equipment. The new Bottle Filler No.2 will have a maximum capacity of 1,200 bottles per minute. The bottle filler will be operated 24 hours/day, 7 days /week and 8,760 hours/year.
Only VOC emissions are expected to increase due to this project. The new operational conditions will result in a higher VOC potential to emit (PTE) for the bottle filler compared to current operations. The increased filling capacity for Bottle Filler No.2 is to allow for filler equipment flexibility only and does not increase any brewing, pasteurizing or packaging capacity at the facility. Therefore, the project will not affect production or capacity at any other sources or units at the facility. VOC emission increases related to this project will be offset by buying emissions reduction credits.
A review of the information submitted by the company indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable state and federal air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, DEP plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the VOC emissions from the new bottle line.
Sources VOC Emissions TPY Bottling line #2 16.21 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations.
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, DEP will place conditions in the plan approval.
The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit No.: 39-00006B and a A concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Raymond Kempa, P.E., Environmental Group Manager, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, Phone 570-826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.

05-05021B: Hill & Smith Holdings, Inc. dba Creative Pultrusions, Inc. (214 Industrial Lane, Alum Bank, PA 15521) for the construction of a TR102 pultrusion machine to their existing Source ID 101, and a 35 kW Kohler propane fired generator at their facility located in West St. Clair Township, Bedford County. The expected increase in facility emissions as a result of the construction proposed are approximately: 2.05 tons per year VOC/HAP. The facility is a Title V facility. DEP's review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the air contamination sources as constructed or modified will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW—National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ—National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If, after the project has been implemented, the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for plan approval, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into an Operating Permit pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

04-00059: In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424, 127.425 and 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is providing notice that it intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit renewal to IPSCO Koppel Tubulars, LLC (P. O. Box 750, Beaver Falls, PA 15010) for the operation of melting and hot forming of alloy or carbon steels into solid steel ''blooms'' at their facility located in the Boroughs of Koppel and Big Beaver, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
Koppel melts scrap steel and additives using a 100-ton capacity Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). The Plant also has steel tube finishing operations where steel tube from another location may be heat treated, straightened, cleaned (brushed), coated, and cut to end user specifications. This facility include various heat treating furnaces, saws, straighteners, lathes, tube upsetters, acid bath, torches, draft station and coaters. There are several baghouses to control particulate emissions.
Facility-wide emissions reported for the 2013 calendar year include approximately 116.87 tons of NOx, 6.96 tons of filterable PM10, 63.33 tons of VOC, 28.30 tons of CO, and 0.57 ton of SOx. Ambridge is a Title V facility because it's potential to emit (PTE) NOx is greater than the major source threshold (100 tpy). The emission restriction, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions of the TVOP have been derived from the applicable requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145.
