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 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 following sites, 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 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 AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.

   49-00046: Kurt Weiss Greenhouses of Pennsylvania, Inc. (10 Arcos Road, Mt. Carmel, PA 17851) for operation of a greenhouse facility at 10 Arcos Road in Mt. Carmel Township, Northumberland County.

   The facility incorporates five natural gas/#2 fuel oil fired boilers, two of which are equipped with low nitrogen oxides burners. The applicant had previously proposed to restrict the operation of each of these five boilers to a maximum of 180 hours in any 12 consecutive month period to ensure that the facility is a synthetic minor with respect to its air contaminant emissions but, in place of this prior proposed restriction, has now proposed to restrict the facility-wide #2 fuel oil usage to 2,000,000 gallons in any 12 consecutive month period as well as the maximum #2 fuel oil sulfur content to .2% (by weight) for this purpose. Based on these new proposed restrictions, the facility is not expected to emit more than 28.95 tons of sulfur oxides, 37.87 tons of nitrogen oxides, 16.94 tons of carbon monoxide, 3.83 tons of particulate matter (including PM10) and 1.52 tons of volatile organic compounds in any 12 consecutive month period.

   The Department proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the emission of air contaminants as well as the conditions previously established in Plan Approvals 49-302-051 and 49-302-051A and Operating Permit 49-302-051. These previously-established conditions include a condition limiting the fuel used in all five boilers to natural gas and #2 fuel oil to which no reclaimed or waste oil or other waste materials have been added, a condition requiring the use of low nitrogen oxides burners on two of the five boilers as well as a condition restricting the nitrogen oxides emissions from the same two boilers to 31 parts per million when burning natural gas and 76 parts per million when burning #2 fuel oil (parts per million on a dry volume basis, corrected to 3% oxygen).

   The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued a condition limiting the amount of #2 fuel oil used in the facility to no more than 2 million gallons in any 12 consecutive month period, a condition limiting the sulfur content of the #2 fuel oil to no more than .2% (by weight) and a condition requiring the maintenance of records of the amount of #2 fuel oil used in the facility each month as well as the sulfur content of each load of #2 fuel oil delivered to the facility.

   17-00057: Petroleum Development Corp. (103 East Main Street, Bridgeport, WV 26330) for their Tate compressor station in Greenwood Township, Clearfield County.
