Sections 302, 303, 304 and 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.

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.
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.

The projects comprising the single aggregated project were previously permitted or authorized under the following authorizations:
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119 (originally issued February 5, 2013).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119A (originally issued September 5, 2013).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119B (originally issued January 30, 2014).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119C (originally issued November 19, 2014).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119D (originally issued February 26, 2015).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119E (originally issued April 1, 2016).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119F (originally issued August 15, 2016; only for the storage tanks previously permitted under Plan Approval No. 23-0119B).
• Plan Approval No. 23-0119J (pending; see corresponding notice in this section of the Pennsylvania Bulletin for further discussion).
• Request for Determination (RFD) No. 5236 (approved August 13, 2015).
• RFD No. 5340 (approved October 1, 2015).
• RFDs No. 5918 and 5944 (approved September 26, 2016).
• RFD No. 6484 (approved August 17, 2017).
• RFD No. 7548 (approved April 18, 2019).
• RFD No. 7944 (approved August 21, 2019).
• De Minimis Emissions Increases (letters dated August 24, 2018, December 10, 2018, and March 22, 2019).
DEP has determined the emissions increases due to the single aggregated project to be the following:
• Carbon Monoxide [CO]: 110.22 tons/yr
• Greenhouse Gases (GHG) [CO2e]: ~183,500 tons/yr
• Lead [Pb]: 4.09 × 10-5 tons/yr
• Nitrogen Oxides [NOx (all NOx also treated as nitrogen dioxide [NO2]): 65.74 tons/yr
• Particulate Matter [PM]: 10.64 tons/yr
• PM less than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter [PM10]: 10.44 tons/yr
• PM less than 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter [PM2.5]: 8.60 tons/yr
• Sulfur oxides [SOx] (all SOx also treated as sulfur dioxide [SO2]): 1.22 ton/yr
• Sulfuric Acid Mist [H2SO4],: 0.0676 ton/yr
• Volatile organic compounds [VOCs]: 169.08 tons/yr
As the facility is an existing major stationary source, in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(a)(2)(iv), the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has performed a two-step PSD analysis to determine whether the single aggregated project constitutes a major modification for the following pollutants: CO, CO2e, H2SO4, NO2, Pb, PM, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2. A project is a major modification and subject to PSD requirements if it causes both a significant emission increase and a significant net emissions increase of any of these pollutants (i.e., Steps 1 and 2, respectively), except that GHGs do not trigger a major modification on their own.
Based on the emissions increases of CO, CO2e, H2SO4, NO2, Pb, PM, PM10, PM2.5, and SO2 for the respective sources and equipment comprising the aggregated project, DEP has determined that the aggregated project causes a significant emission increase of CO, CO2e, and NO2.
After summing these significant emissions increases with other contemporaneous increases and decreases in actual emissions, DEP has determined that the single aggregated project causes a significant net emission increase of CO2e only. Therefore, the single aggregated project is not subject to PSD requirements.
In addition, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203a and 127.203(b)(1)(i), DEP has performed an NSR analysis to determine whether the aggregated emissions increases of NOx or VOCs (i.e., the sum of the emissions increases due to the single aggregated project and the other increases in net emissions occurring over a consecutive 5 calendar-year period), exceed 25 tons/yr.
DEP has determined the aggregated emissions increases of NOx and VOCs to be the following:
• NOx: 67.73 tons/yr
• VOCs: 177.02 tons/yr
Therefore, DEP has determined that the single aggregated project is subject to NSR requirements for both pollutants, including requirements to obtain emissions offsets and implement Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 127.205. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201(f) and 127.210, SPMT is required to obtain emissions offsets at the offset ratio of 1.3:1. Based on the required offset ratio, SPMT is required to obtain and surrender 88.05 tons of NOx Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) and 230.13 tons of VOC ERCs for the single aggregated project. SPMT has previously surrendered, and DEP has previously retired, 32.80 tons of NOx ERCs and 131.69 tons of VOC ERCs under previously-issued Plan Approvals for certain sources and equipment under the single aggregated project. Therefore, to fully offset the aggregated emissions of NOx and VOCs, SPMT is required to obtain and surrender an additional 55.25 tons of NOx ERCs and 98.44 tons of VOC ERCs for the single aggregated project. Of these ERC amounts, SPMT shall obtain and surrender 55.25 tons of NOx ERCs and 48.92 tons of VOC ERCs under revised Plan Approval No. 23-0119E, and 49.52 tons of VOC ERCs under Plan Approval No. 23-0119J (see notice for Plan Approval No. 23-0119J in this section of the Pennsylvania Bulletin for further discussion).
The revised Plan Approval No. 23-0119E will incorporate the applicable terms and conditions of previously-issued Plan Approvals No. 23-0119 through 23-0119F. In addition, the revised Plan Approval No. 23-0119E will include all other monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements, including those specified as follows to meet LAER:
• The leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements indicated in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's 28LAER program and, to the extent that they are more stringent, those indicated in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart VVa.
• VOC destruction and removal efficiency restrictions of 98% for the West Cold Flare and East Cold Flare.
• A requirement that SPMT install a secondary seal on the internal floating roof of Tank 609.
