LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
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, 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 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 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified below and 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 below, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent 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.

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVALS
Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (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 public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
(RACT)
Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds; Public Hearing Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Andritz, Inc. in Muncy Borough, Lycoming County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a portion of a foundry facility owned and operated by Andritz, Inc. in Muncy Borough, Lycoming County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for this operation:
Source RACT limit or requirement * ''green sand molding line'' * the volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 41 tons in any 12 consecutive month period * ''no-bake floor molding operation'' * the volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 62 tons in any 12 consecutive month period * natural gas/#2 oil-fired space heaters * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * natural gas-fired boilers * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * natural gas-fired ladle torches * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * heat treatment area * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * cold degreasers * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * distillate oil storage tanks * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * scrap dryer * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * polyurethane foam packaging operation * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * pattern shop * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * surface coating operation cleanup activities * the combined volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year * 7 propane-fired emergency generators * none of the generators shall operate more than 500 hours in any 12 consecutive month period
The Department cannot at this time render a RACT determination for several additional volatile organic compound emission sources which exist at the respective facility (refiner plate molding line and core making operation).
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on July 21, 1999 at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested.
