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 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. 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 should 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.

The cement/slag blending system will utilize the existing bulk silo group B and include the installation of a blender. The particulate emissions from each fabric collector will not exceed the Best Available Technology standard of 0.02 grain/dscf and will result in a total maximum particulate emission rate of 7.81 tons per year. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. The facility currently has a Title V Operating Permit 39-00011. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.

   Northcentral Region:  Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Richard Maxwell, New Source Review Chief, (570) 327-3637.

   08-00003A: CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 311, Shiner Road, Towanda, PA 18848) for their facility in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 08-00003 has been issued. The Department intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the applicant to construct the following:

   A trim surface coating operation (SCO) to work in conjunction with the existing lap siding line SCO (TVOP Source ID 189P) to produce the MiraTEC trim product. The proposed trim SCO consists of the following air contaminant sources:

   1.  Spray booth 1.

   2.  Spray booth 2.

   3.  Preheat IR oven manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 4.263 mmBtu/hr.

   4.  HVHA oven 1 manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 3.0 mmBtu/hr.

   5.  HVHA oven 2 manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 6.0 mmBtu/hr.

   6.  Final IR oven manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 4.263 mmBtu/hr.

   Under the best available technology (BAT) provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the air contaminant emission from each spray booth shall be controlled by an upflow cyclonic separator followed by a BHA/Standard Havens Model R-12-156-144 pulse-jet fabric collector. The air contaminant emissions from each HVHA oven shall be controlled by Winnox Model WX300 low NOx burners.

   This project will emit up to 14 tons of VOCs, 7.6 tons of HAPs, 2.8 tons of PM, including PM10, 1.9 tons of NOx, 3.8 tons of CO and 0.04 ton of SOx in any 12 consecutive month period.

   Under the New Source Review requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217, because of the amount of de minimis increases in the potential to emit VOCs which have been accrued by this facility to date, the 14.0-ton in any 12 consecutive month period allowable VOC emissions rate for this project which is being requested by CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. will require the use of 46.92 tons per year (12 consecutive month period) of VOC emission reduction credits (ERCs). To satisfy this requirement, CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. has committed to purchase and apply the previous ERCs prior to the start of operation of the proposed trim SCO. The accrued de minimis VOC emission increases are as follows:
