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 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 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, 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, 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.

08-399-047B: OSRAM SYLVANIA Products, Inc. (Hawes Street, Towanda, PA 18848-0504) for the operation of four EL phosphor chemical vapor deposition (CVD) fluid bed coating reactors (ANE process) in North Towanda Township, Bradford County.
The four CVD coating reactors are used to coat phosphors with silicon nitride. The resultant emissions of ammonia, dimethylamine (a VOC) and nitrogen oxides are controlled by a catalytic oxidizer and a selective catalytic reduction system operating in series. Stack testing has demonstrated ammonia, dimethylamine and nitrogen oxides emission rates of .0015, .032 and .59 pound per hour respectively.
The Department has determined that the four CVD coating reactors have been constructed and are operating in accordance with all conditions of Plan Approvals 8-399-047, 8-399-047A and 8-399-047B as well as in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department consequently intends to issue an operating permit for the operation of the respective coating reactors.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the operating permit to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. The air contaminants from the four CVD coating reactors shall be controlled by a catalytic oxidizer and a selective catalytic reduction system operating in series.
2. The air contaminant emission capture system associated with the four CVD coating reactors shall provide 100% capture of all air contaminants emitted from the reactors.
3. The amount of dimethylamine emitted from the selective catalytic reduction system shall not be greater than 1.3% (on a mass basis) of the amount of dimethylamine present in the inlet to the catalytic oxidizer.
4. The amount of ammonia emitted from the selective catalytic reduction system shall not be greater than 1% (on a mass basis) of the amount of ammonia present in the inlet to the catalytic oxidizer nor shall the ammonia concentration in the exhaust of the selective catalytic reduction system ever exceed 50 parts per million (volume basis).
5. The nitrogen oxides emission rate from the selective catalytic reduction system shall not exceed 1.55 pounds per hour.
6. The exhaust gases from the CVD coating reactors shall be maintained at a temperature of at least 600°F prior to coming in contact with the catalyst bed in the catalytic oxidizer. Additionally, should the temperature drop below 600°F, the reactant feed to the CVD coating reactors shall automatically cease and an alarm shall sound.
7. The catalytic oxidizer shall be equipped with a continuous catalyst bed inlet and outlet temperature monitoring and recording system and a UV flame scanner. All temperature records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available upon request.
8. The selective catalytic reduction system shall be equipped with a nitrogen oxides analyzer, which shall be used to control the ammonia injection rate, as well as with catalyst bed inlet and outlet low and high temperature alarms and a catalyst bed high nitrogen oxides concentration alarm.
9. None of the conditions contained in this operating permit shall apply whenever the four CVD coating reactors are being used to coat phosphors using the CJ process.

The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated before each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for certification.
Written comments, objections or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment and informal conferences).
Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the previous, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the previously-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections, application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor, application number, a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
