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.

AIR QUALITY

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.

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

   18-301-009: Moriarty-Dutcavich Funeral Home (112 East Church Street, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for construction of a crematory incinerator in the City of Lock Haven, Clinton County.

   The crematory incinerator will have a rated capacity of 150 pounds per hour and will be used for the cremation of human remains. The air contaminant emissions from the incinerator will be controlled by an integral secondary combustion chamber. The resultant particulate matter emissions are expected to be less than .2 pound per hour.

   The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed incinerator will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed crematory incinerator.

   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.  Only human remains and associated containers shall be incinerated.

   2.  The particulate matter emissions shall not exceed .08 grain per dry standard cubic foot, corrected to 7% oxygen, and the visible emissions shall not equal or exceed 10% opacity for more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour or 30% at any time.

   3.  A secondary combustion chamber temperature of at least 1,800°F shall be maintained at any time incineration is occurring.

   4.  The incinerator shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record the secondary combustion chamber temperature. All temperature records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

   14-00002E: Graymont (PA) Inc. (965 East College Avenue, Pleasant Gap, PA 16823) for the installation of an air cleaning device, a fabric collector, on existing enclosed lime product feed conveyors and associated product storage silos at the company's Pleasant Gap facility in Spring Township, Centre County.

   The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 14-00002 has been issued.

   The fabric collector will be exhausted to the outdoor atmosphere. Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the concentration of particulate matter in the exhaust of the fabric collector is allowed to be .04 grain per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust. The resultant allowable annual particulate matter emission rate is therefore 15 tons per year. It is, however, anticipated that the actual emission of particulate matter will be considerably less than this value.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Graymont (PA) Inc. indicates that the air contaminant emissions from the respective product feed conveyors and silos will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the fabric collector. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the fabric collector.

   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.  Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the concentration of particulate matter in the exhaust of the fabric collector shall not exceed .04 grain per dry standard cubic foot.

   2.  The fabric collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the differential pressure across the collector on a continuous basis.

   3.  The air compressor supplying compressed air to the fabric collector shall be equipped with an air dryer and oil trap.

   4.  A sufficient quantity of spare filter bags shall be kept on hand for the fabric collector to be able to immediately replace any bags requiring replacement due to deterioration resulting from routine collector operation.
