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 (NOI) 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 (NOI) to Remediate with the Department. A NOI 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 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 NOI to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following identified site(s), 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 following specified date. During this comment period the municipality may request that the following identified person, 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 NOI to Remediate, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under 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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING
PERMIT APPLICATIONSThe 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.

47-00014: United States Gypsum Company (86 PPL Road, Danville, PA 17821) for a significant permit modification to the Title V operating permit for their Wash- ingtonville Plant facility in Derry Township, Montour County. The Title V permit for this facility was last revised on August 1, 2019, and it will expire on March 22, 2023. The facility's main sources include combustion units, dryer and hammer mills, calcining kettles, multiple raw material storage, handling and processing operations, and the board kiln dryer. The type and quantity of pollutants emitted on a facility-wide potential emission basis are, as follows: NOx—90 tons per year (tpy), CO—150 tpy, SOx—1 tpy, particulate matter (PM) and PM-10—100 tpy, VOCs—49 tpy, HAPs—15 tpy, and GHGs. This significant permit modification or revision is for the synthetic gypsum dryer and hammer mills (Source ID P101 and P102) as well as the ID C101 and C102 fabric collectors, to incorporate the new Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) plan for these emission units for required compliance monitoring for the applicable Best Available Technology (BAT) standard of 0.009 gr/dscf for PM and PM-10, in accordance with applicable CAM requirement under 40 CFR Part 64. The CAM plan proposes to include the use of fabric filter bag leak detection systems in conjunction with the existing visual stack emissions monitoring for the P101 and P102 emission units, to verify compliance with the provisions as applicable for the mills pursuant to 40 CFR Part 64. Based on the information provided, the revision to include bag leak detection monitoring is found to be satisfactory by the Department, pursuant to the applicable CAM criteria [40 CFR 64.3]. In accordance with 40 CFR 64.3(d)(2)(vi), the proposed systems will be/are required to be designed such that the new monitoring will alert operating personnel if/when an increase in PM emissions, expressed as relative or absolute PM loadings, over a preset level indicative of compliance is detected, in accordance with the monitoring plan required for Department review and approval no later than 90 days following issuance. In addition, the revised permit requires that the bag leak detection systems are installed, calibrated, operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and/or specifications and with good engineering practices for continuous baghouse performance monitoring based on measurements of the relative or absolute PM loadings (outlet). Moreover, each system is required to be maintained in continuous operation for all times when its respective process and air cleaning device are in operation. Accordingly, the Title V permit revision incorporates all applicable requirements for Source IDs P101 and P102, including appropriate testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions to verify compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements including (but may not be limited to) the BAT standard established pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the CAM requirements at 40 CFR Part 64. The applicable requirements for Source IDs P101 and P102 were derived from 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 and 145. All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

39-00006G: Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has received and intends to issue a Plan Approval # 39-00006G to American Craft Brewery LLC, 7880 Penn Drive, Breinigsville, PA 18031-1508, for their plant located in Upper Macungie Township, Lehigh County. The facility currently operates pursuant to a Title V Operating 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. 39-00006G is to memorialize the purchase of emission reduction credits (ERCs) for their facility. The emission reduction credits are needed to satisfy requirements specified in Plan Approval 39-00006F. Plan Approval 39-00006F was issued for the construction of a new can line to provide packaging flexibility to react to the increasingly high demand of canned products relative to products sold in other containers (i.e., bottles, kegs, and Bag-in-Box). Since the project was subject to the New Source Review requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—127.217 for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the permittee was required to purchase 79 tons of VOC ERCs prior to increase from 5,000,000 barrels per year (BBL/yr) to 6,250,000 BBL/yr. ACB submitted a Request for Approval of Inter-precursor Offset Trading to PADEP for the inter-precursor pollutant trading (IPT) of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) ERCs in place of VOC ERCs on an equivalent basis. PADEP submitted a written request for IPT approval to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 3. U.S. EPA approved the NOx ERCs in place of VOC ERCs.
ACB signed an agreement to purchase 79.00 tons/yr of NOx ERCs from Element Markets Emissions, LLC which were generated by the shutdown of NRG REMA, LLC's Titus Station facility located in Cumru Township, Berks County. These ERCs are listed on PADEP's ERC Registry, showing the ERCs have been certified by PADEP to be creditable emissions reductions. ACB is requesting PADEP to approve these ERCs for transfer and use in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.208.
The Department's review of the information submitted by the company indicates that the proposed ERCs will comply with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.208, relating to ERC use and transfer requirements. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the transfer and use of the ERCs. In order to assure compliance with the applicable regulations, DEP will place conditions in the plan approval in order to make the purchased ERCs Federally enforceable and non-expiring.
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 18701.
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. 39-00006G and 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 Ray Kempa, Environmental Engineer Manager, New Source Review Section, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915, Phone 570-826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30-days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30-days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
