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--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 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, 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.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office after 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

   Southcentral Region:  Environmental Cleanup Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW 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.

   Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department 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 the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   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 (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

More nozzles may be installed without obtaining plan approval, but none of those identified in the application may be omitted.

   2.  The water spray dust suppression system shall be connected to an on-demand water source capable of delivering an adequate supply of water at any time. If the water spray dust suppression system is inoperable or is unable to provide an adequate supply of water due to freezing weather or any other reason, the sand and gravel processing plant shall not be operated.

   3.  A water truck equipped with a pressurized spray mechanism shall be kept onsite and used, as needed, for the control of fugitive particulate matter from plant roadways, stockpile areas, and the like.

   4.  All loaded permittee-owned or operated trucks exiting the facility via a public road shall be tarped or have their loads sufficiently wetted so as to prevent fugitive PM from becoming airborne. Additionally, a highly visible sign requiring the tarping/wetting of all trucks shall be posted.

   5.  If, at any time, the sand and gravel processing plant, or any piece of equipment incorporated in the plant, is determined by the Department to be causing the emission of fugitive PM in excess of the limitations specified in any applicable rule or regulation or in excess of the level which the Department considers to be the ''minimum attainable through the use of the best available technology,'' the permittee shall, upon notification by the Department, immediately install additional water spray dust suppression equipment or take other measures as are needed to reduce the level of emissions to within the level deemed acceptable by the Department.

   6.  The primary and secondary processing operation shall not be used to process more than 2.628 million tons of material in any 12 consecutive month period. The portable screening unit shall not be used to process more than 2.19 million tons of material in any 12 consecutive month period.

   7.  Records shall be maintained of the amount of material processed through the primary and secondary processing operation each month as well as of the amount of material processed through the portable screening unit each month. All of these records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   8.  This plan approval does not authorize the construction, installation or operation of any generator, engines or engine/generator sets except that the portable screening unit may incorporate a diesel engine provided that the respective engine is rated at less than 100 horsepower.

The Department consequently intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the construction of the two proposed tanks.

   The following is a summary of the conditions the Department plans to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:

   1.  Each of the two storage tanks shall be equipped with a suspended internal floating roof incorporating primary and secondary seals. Additionally, all openings in the internal floating roofs other then the stub drains shall be equipped with a cover, lid or seal.

   2.  The product throughput of each of the two tanks shall not exceed 178,416,000 gallons in any 12 consecutive month period.

   3.  The VOC and HAP emissions from each of the two tanks, excluding the emissions occurring as a result of internal floating roof landings, shall not exceed 2.34 tons and .39 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.

   4.  The VOC and HAP emissions from each of the two tanks occurring as a result of internal floating roof landings shall not exceed 5.0 tons and .83 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.

   5.  Annual inspections of the suspended internal floating roofs and associated seals shall be performed and the results recorded. All of these records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   6.  Records shall be maintained of the type of product stored in each tank, the monthly product throughput of each tank and the maximum true vapor pressure of the product in storage. All of these records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   7.  Records shall be maintained of the amount of VOCs and HAPs emitted from each tank during each month other than as a result of internal floating roof landings as well as the amount of VOCs and HAPs emitted from each tank during each month as a result of internal floating roof landings. All of these records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
