Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 cleanup standards or 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 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 site, 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 as follows. 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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department or DEP) 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application, and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the following: Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments; Identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number; and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Subchapters D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code Section 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

10-00062: PA State System of Higher Education—Slippery Rock University (1 Morrow Way, Maintenance Center, Slippery Rock PA 16057-1313) to modify a Title V Operating Permit for the facility in Slippery Rock Borough, Butler County.
The modification is in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.463 and 127.521. The facility is a major facility as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments due to the facility's potential to emit SOx emissions. The facility is subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F and G. The facility is subject to multiple State and Federal Regulations. The facility is an Area Source of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). The modification involves the incorporation of the requirements of 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for Area Source Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers. The facility was given a restriction on each of the coal fired boilers to establish a 10% annual capacity factor for coal. The limit reduces the amount of coal that was previously permitted by the facility. The requirements in Subpart JJJJJJ became effective February 1, 2013. The coal fired boilers (Sources 031, 032, and 034A) are subject to the tune-up work practice standards of Subpart JJJJJJ. The permit also modifies the requirement for testing the boilers at normal operating peak load. The modification removes restrictions on steam load which are no longer necessary based on the installation of the baghouse under Plan Approval 10-062F which makes the opacity related conditions unnecessary.
Copies of the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
