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 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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 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 and 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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality 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 below. During this comment period, a 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.

Public Notification to Solicit Comments on Plan Approval Application No. 46-313-117D
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Merck & Co., Inc. (Company), Sumneytown Pike, West Point, PA, for a Catalytic Oxidizer to be located in Building 69, Sumneytown Pike, West Point, Upper Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County. The Catalytic Oxidizer is described in the Company's plan approval application of January 22, 1997, and subsequent supplemental submissions. With the addition of the Catalytic Oxidizer, the Company's contemporaneous 5 year increase in the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is 77.5 tpy. Merck & Co., Inc., has obtained emission reduction credits (ERCs) of 210 tpy of NOx from E. I. DuPont/DuPont DeNemours, Gibbstown, Gloucester County, NJ. The Company will use 100.8 tpy of NOx ERCs offsetting the contemporaneous increase of 77.5 tpy. The remaining ERCs, 109.2 tpy of NOx are to be available to the Company indefinitely for other projects.
Copies of the application, technical review by the Department, and other supporting documents used in the evaluation are available for public inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at the address shown below. To make an appointment, contact Records Management at (610) 832-6268 for an appointment.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis, this proposed operation would emit:
Pollutant Emission Rate, tpy Nitrogen Oxides 8.9 tons per year Carbon Monoxide 2.2 tons per year Volatile Organic Compounds 0.17 tons per year Particulate Matter 0.87 tons per year
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department has placed the following conditions in the proposed Plan Approval:
I. Operational Limitations

(b) The Catalytic Oxidizer shall be limited to a maximum influent rate of 42,000 scfm.
(c) The minimum inlet temperature to the catalyst bed of the Catalytic Oxidizer shall be 550°F.
(d) The Catalytic Oxidizer shall maintain a minimum destruction efficiency of at least 95% at all operating conditions.
(e) The Catalytic Oxidizer shall fire natural gas as the primary fuel and propane as the secondary fuel. The Catalytic Oxidizer shall be limited to 100 hours per year firing propane.
(f) The company shall install, operate and maintain the Catalytic Oxidizer according to the manufacturer's specifications and good air pollution control practices.
(g) The Company shall be allowed to bypass the Catalytic Oxidizer in the event of a malfunction of the Catalytic Oxidizer.

The uncontrolled emissions of VOC that are a result of a Catalytic Oxidizer malfunction shall be included in the emissions total for Building 69. The Company, within 1 hour of occurrence, shall notify the Department at (610) 832-6241 of any malfunction of the air cleaning device. A written report shall be submitted to the Department within 2 working days following the incident describing the malfunction and corrective action taken. The Company shall not exceed the emission limitations contained in Condition II(b) because of a bypass of the Catalytic Oxidizer.
II. Emission Limitations
(a) The following air contaminant emission limits are approved for the Catalytic Oxidizer. The Department reserves the right to establish and impose more stringent limitations based on test results from stack testing.
(i) The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission rate for the Catalytic Oxidizer shall not exceed 0.049 lbs/hr and 0.17 tons in a 12 month rolling period. The emissions of VOCs from the Catalytic Oxidizer shall be included in the Building 69 emission cap.
