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.

17-305-050A: Penfield Collieries, LLC (301 Market Street, Kittanning, PA 16201) for construction of coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations at an existing bituminous coal preparation facility near Penfield in Huston Township, Clearfield County.
The proposed stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operation will consist of two radial stacking conveyors, various other conveyors, an underground reclaim and a railcar loading chute. The operation will process only coal which has first been processed through a wet preparation plant so all coal will have a moisture content of at least 5%. This inherent moisture content will help prevent fugitive PM from being emitted. Additional fugitive PM control will be provided by loading all railcars with a flood loading technique, by the use of partial conveyor covers and by use of the plant's water truck, as needed. The construction of the proposed stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations is expected to increase the facility's emission of PM by no more than 10.7 tons per year, of which no more than 4.8 tons per year will be PM10.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Penfield Collieries, LLC indicates that the proposed coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2, the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart Y of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.250--60.254. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations.
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 regulatory requirements:
1. All conditions of Plan Approval 17-305-050 remain in effect unless superseded or modified by a condition contained herein.
2. No coal may be stockpiled onsite unless it has either been processed through the facility's wet preparation plant or will be processed through said plant prior to removal from the site.
3. All clean coal stockpiled onsite shall be placed onto stockpiles with radial stacking conveyors. The freefall distance from the end of these stacking conveyors to the top of the stockpile shall be maintained at 5 or less feet at all times.
4. All conveyors shall be equipped with either partial enclosures or full enclosures. If, at any time, partial enclosures are determined by the Department to be inadequate for controlling fugitive PM emissions, full enclosures shall be installed.
5. The water truck required by Plan Approval 17-305-050 shall be used, as needed, to control fugitive particulate matter from stockpiles, roadways, and the like, in the stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations area.
6. All coal loaded into railcars shall be loaded using a flood loading technique. Front end loaders shall not be used to load railcars.
7. Trucks may be loaded with front end loaders, but only if the front end loader bucket-to-truck bed height is kept to a minimum at all times and only if the moisture content of the coal being loaded if 5% or greater.
8. All coal placed onto the stockpiles incorporated into the coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations shall have a moisture content of at least 5% as shall all coal removed from the stockpiles and loaded into railcars and trucks. The permittee shall demonstrate compliance with this requirement by sampling and analyzing the coal for moisture content in accordance with ASTM D3302-02ae1 at a frequency to be specified by the Department.
9. Records shall be maintained of:
a. The total number of tons of coal delivered to the facility each month.
b. The number of tons of coal loaded directly into railcars from the wet preparation plant each month using the clean coal conveyor and railcar loading chute currently associated with the wet preparation plant.
c. The number of tons of coal loaded into railcars from the clean coal stockpiling operation each month using the new railcar loading chute associated with the clean coal stock piling operation as well as the portion of this amount, if any, that was not first processed through the wet preparation plant.
d. The number of tons of coal loaded into trucks each month as well as the portion of this amount, if any, that was not first processed through the wet preparation plant.
e. The results of all coal moisture analyses performed.
All records shall be retained for at least 5 years and made available to the Department upon request.
