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—6026.908).
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 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.

The source is not a major source for Greenhouse Gases (GHG).
Anyone wishing to request information regarding this action can do so by contacting the Southeast Regional Office through the contact person listed in the previously listed header. Comments on the draft permit can be submitted through the Air Quality resource account at RA-EPSEROPUBCOM@pa.gov.
46-00060: PA DHS—Norristown State Hospital, 1001 East Sterigere Street, Norristown, PA 19401, located in Norristown Borough, East Norriton Township, and West Norriton Township, Montgomery County, for a renewal of Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) No. 46-00060 for the long-term psychiatric facility. The facility's air emissions sources consist of three natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers and eight emergency generator sets (five permanent, three trailer-mounted; each equipped with a diesel fuel-fired, stationary, reciprocating internal combustion engine).
The facility is subject to a site-level nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission rate restriction of less than 25 tons/yr (calculated monthly as a 12-month rolling sum). In addition, seven of the emergency generator sets are equipped with plan approval-exempt ICE that are subject to combined NOx emission rate restrictions of less than 100 lbs/hr, 1,000 lbs/day, 2.75 tons/ozone season, and 6.6 tons/yr (calculated monthly as a 12-month rolling sum).
The boilers are subject to NOx emission concentration restrictions of less than or equal to 30 ppmv, dry basis, corrected to 3% oxygen (O2), when consuming natural gas, and 90 ppmv, dry basis, corrected to 3% O2, when consuming No. 2 fuel oil, as well as a carbon monoxide (CO) emission concentration restriction of less than or equal to 300 ppmv, dry basis, corrected to 3% O2.
The only changes that have occurred at the facility since DEP last renewed the TVOP in June 2015 are the removal of six permanent emergency generator sets and the installation of the three trailer-mounted emergency generator sets.
The boilers are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc, for small industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units. The boilers are not subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJJJ, for industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers (hazardous air pollutant [HAP]) area sources, based on meeting the definition of the term ''gas-fired boiler'' in 40 CFR 63.11237.
Six of the seven plan approval-exempt engines (four permanent, two trailer-mounted) are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII, for stationary compression ignition internal combustion engines. The other two engines (one permanent, one trailer-mounted) are not subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines, based on meeting the criteria for institutional emergency engines in 40 CFR 63.6585(f)(3).
The TVOP renewal will contain monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Anyone wishing to request information regarding this action can do so by contacting the Southeast Regional Office through the contact person listed in the previously listed header. Comments on the draft permit can be submitted through the Air Quality resource account at RA-EPSEROPUBCOM@pa.gov.

The City of Philadelphia, Air Management Services (AMS) has intent to issue a renewal and modification of Title V/State Operating Permit for the following facility:
Title V Operating Permit OP21-000064 (TVOP): Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining and Marketing LLC (PESRM), 70th & Essington Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19145, City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, for modification and renewal of the existing TVOP. PESRM is the owner and operator and is responsible for air quality compliance for the equipment in operation under the TVOP. From June 26, 2020 through November 30, 2021, Host at Philadelphia, LLC (Host) was the operator of the terminal.
Host and PESRM submitted applications to the City of Philadelphia—Air Management Services (AMS) to modify and renew the facility's existing TVOP. The basic thrust of the request to modify the TVOP was to update the TVOP to reflect the more recent operations and to formally incorporate air permits related to some storage tanks, marine loading, and railcar loading/unloading process from PESRM TVOP. These proposed changes include the following:
• Renewing the TVOP;
• Transferring some storage tanks, marine loading, and railcar loading/unloading process from PESRM TVOP, thereby formally incorporating air permits related to the Girard Point Docks, Point Breeze Docks, the North and South Rail Yards and pipelines into the SRTF TVOP (these operations were previously associated with the Title V permit for the former refinery (Title V Operating Permit No. V06-016);
• Updating the Facility Inventory List;
• Updating Permit contacts and responsible official of the facility;
• Updating product descriptions;
• Updating LDAR requirements to remove references to the refinery LDAR program;
• Group 2 transfer rack requirements update;
• Updating conditions superseded by RACT Plan Approval IP16-000269;
• Removing references to Global Consent Decree No. 05-02866 for any former refinery units, and
• Removing reference to shutdown units.
The facility's current air emission sources that will continue to be subject to the TVOP include the following:
• At the SRTF facility:
o Two (2) external floater storage tanks with capacities greater than 40 million gallons
o Twenty-Three (23) internal floating storage tanks, each with a capacity greater than 40 million gallons
o Seventeen (17) Petroleum Liquids Storage Tanks

o SR-05 Oil/Water Separator
o One (1) Flare
o Butane truck loading/unloading
o Propane truck loading
o Compressors
o Internal Combustion Engines (firewater)
o Insignificant sources (distillate/heavy oil storage tanks, gasoline engines, red dye tank)
• Terminal Operations at Former Refinery that will be subject to this TVOP*:
o Seven (7) internal floating storage tanks, each with a capacity greater than 40 million gallons;
o Marine loading
▪ Girard Point barge loading with thermal oxidizer
▪ Point Breeze barge loading of liquid petroleum less than 4.0 psi Reid vapor pressure
o Butane railcar loading/unloading
o Insignificant sources (petroleum liquids less than 1.5 psi Reid vapor pressure storage tanks)
*There are additional emissions sources at the Former Refinery that will continue to be subject to TVOP OP20-000052.
The TVOP will be issued under 25 Pa. Code, Philadelphia Code Title 3 and Air Management Regulation XIII. The public can find copies of the plan approval application, draft plan approval, and supporting materials at the following locations:
• AMS Web Site, Air Management Services Notices Section: http://www.phila.gov/departments/air-pollution-control-board/air-management-notices.
• Air Managements Services, 321 University Ave. (the corner of University Ave. and Curie Blvd.), 2 Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104. Please contact AMS at 215-685-7572 to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protest, comments, or request a public hearing on the previously listed TVOP must submit the protest, comments, or public hearing request within 30-days from the date of this notice. Any protests or comments filed with AMS must include a concise statement of the objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.

Title V Operating Permit OP20-000052 (TVOP): Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining and Marketing LLC (PESRM), 3144 Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19145, City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, for modification and renewal of the existing TVOP. While PESRM remains the owner of the former refinery, NorthStar is the operator and is responsible for air quality compliance for the remaining equipment currently in operation under the TVOP.
PESRM submitted applications to the City of Philadelphia—Air Management Services (AMS) to modify and renew the facility's existing TVOP. The applications include many proposed changes to the TVOP to reflect the current operations and reduce the number of permitted emission sources. These proposed changes include the following:
• Update facility Inventory List.
• Changing the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code for the facility. The application proposes changing this code from 2911 (Petroleum Refining) to 1795 (Wrecking and Demolition Work) since there is no longer any refining at the facility.
• Removing all shutdown equipment from the TVOP. This includes all refining process equipment.
