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 before 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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
18-00011F: Croda, Inc. (8 Croda Way, Mill Hall, PA 17751) for construction of a chemical process operation in the Mill Hall Facility in Bald Eagle Township, Clinton County.
The Mill Hall Facility is a major facility which has been issued a Title V operating permit (No. 18-00011).
The respective chemical process operation is identified as the ''Synthesis Area--General Products'' operation and actually already exists onsite. The operation consists of 14 batch chemical processing vessels and ancillary equipment (process condensers, condenser receivers, vacuum pumps, and the like) used to manufacture a variety of products for the personal care industry (lotions, hair care products, and the like) and household products industry (floor wax, cleaners, and the like) as well as some products used as carriers in the pharmaceutical industry. These products include some ethoxylated and propoxylated products identified as polyether polyols.
The combined emission of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (both of which are HAPs) from the Synthesis Area--General Products operation will be limited to 2.5 tons per year and the combined emission of VOCs will be limited to 36.5 tons per year. Additionally, the combined emissions of any single HAP from the entire facility in which the Synthesis Area--General Products operation is located will be limited to less than 10 tons per year and the combined emissions of all HAPs from the entire facility will be limited to less than 25 tons per year. As the Synthesis Area--General Products operation already exists, no increase in the actual emission of any air contaminant from the Synthesis Area--General Products operation is however expected to occur as a result of plan approval issuance.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Croda, Inc. indicates that the Synthesis Area--General Products operation should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart PPP of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.1420--63.1439 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyether Polyols Production). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the Synthesis Area--General Products operation. Additionally, if the Synthesis Area--General Products operation is determined by the Department to be operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions and all applicable regulatory requirements following the issuance of plan approval, the conditions of Plan Approval 18-00011F will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 18-00011 via administrative amendment in accordance with the requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. Any batch of polyether polyol product produced in any chemical processing vessel contained in the Synthesis Area--General Products operation shall be subject to an epoxide cookout time of no less than 90 minutes (during which time the vessel shall not be vented to atmosphere) whether the vessel is subject to Subpart PPP or not.
2. Any batch of product requiring the use of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide (other than a polyether polyol product) produced in any chemical processing vessel contained in the Synthesis Area--General Products operation shall be subject to an epoxide cookout time of no less than 30 minutes (during which time the vessel shall not be vented to atmosphere).
3. The total combined ethylene oxide and propylene oxide emissions from the Synthesis Area--General Products operation shall not exceed 2.5 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
4. The total combined VOC emissions from the Synthesis Area--General Products operation shall not exceed 36.5 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
5. The total combined emissions of any single HAP from the entire Mill Hall Facility shall not equal or exceed 10 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the total combined emissions of all HAPs from the entire facility shall not equal or exceed 25 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
6. At the conclusion of each epoxide cookout for any batch of polyether polyol product produced in any chemical processing vessel contained in the Synthesis Area--General Products operation, the permittee shall perform such sampling and analysis on the vessel as is necessary to determine the amount of epoxide which will be emitted. If the vessel is a ''subject vessel'' under the requirements of Subpart PPP, the vessel shall not be vented to atmosphere until the analytical results are known and a determination made as to whether additional cookout time is needed. Vessels which are not ''subject vessels'' may be vented prior to the availability of the analytical results but the epoxide emission date for all batches produced in all vessels, whether the vessels are ''subject vessels'' or not, shall be recorded.
7. At the conclusion of each cookout period for any batch of product which requires the use of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide (other than a polyether polyol product) produced in any chemical processing vessel contained in the Synthesis Area--General Products operation, the permittee shall perform the sampling and analysis on the vessel as is necessary to determine the amount of epoxide which will be emitted (except that the sampling and analysis need not be performed on any batch involving the use of isopropyl alcohol or ethanol). The epoxide emission date for all batches of the products (other than those involving the use of isopropyl alcohol or ethanol) produced in all vessels shall be recorded.
8. The permittee shall maintain records as are needed to demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements of Subpart PPP as well as with all limitations and requirements specified in this plan approval.
9. All conditions contained in Title V Operating Permit 18-00011 which have applicability to the Synthesis Area-- General Products operation remain in effect except as those conditions may be amended or superseded by a condition contained in this notice. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in this plan approval and a condition contained in Title V Operating Permit 18-00011, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained in this plan approval rather than the conflicting condition contained in Title V Operating Permit 18-00011.
08-00004B: Rynone Manufacturing Corp. (P. O. Box 128, North Thomas Avenue, Sayre, PA 18840) for increase in production throughput and increase in VOC and HAPs emissions at their Sayre facility in Sayre Borough, Bradford County. Rynone Manufacturing Corporation is a Title V facility.
The proposed VOC and HAP emission increases take place in the main production operation, consisting of gel coating operations and molding and casting operations. The permittee is taking emission restrictions of 49.7 tons of VOCs and 51.6 tons of combined HAPs in any 12-consecutive month period (CMP) from all sources at the facility. The VOC and HAP emissions represent increases of 15.3 tons of VOCs and 14.6 tons of combined HAPs in any 12 CMP. Part of the emission increase is due to the use of updated emission factors for HAP emissions from gel coating operations and part of the emission increase is due to increased production throughput.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by Rynone Manufacturing Corporation indicates that the proposed emission and production throughput increases will comply with all air quality requirements, including the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. The proposed modification will also comply with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart WWWW (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reinforced Plastic Composites Production), 63.5780--63.5935. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the proposed increase in VOC and HAPs emissions and the increase in production throughput. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the State-only operating permit No. 08-00004 by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa.
