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.

   Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.

   14-00002H: Graymont (PA), Inc. (965 East College Avenue, Pleasant Gap, PA 16823) to install a semiwet scrubber to control SOx emissions from kiln No. 7, as well as to construct a waste heat boiler to generate up to 5 MW of electricity and/or a spray tower, to reduce the exhaust gas temperature from kiln No. 7 at the Pleasant Gap Lime Manufacturing plant in Spring Township, Centre County.

   The installation of kiln No. 7, as well as the semi-wet scrubber, has been approved under Plan Approval 14-00002A, issued July 9, 2004. In addition, no reassessment of any air quality impacts is required since the stack gas temperature will be higher than the stack temperature at which the project was modeled. A higher stack gas temperature results in a greater plume rise and better dispersion.

   The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by Graymont (PA), Inc. indicates that the proposed installation and construction 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 semiwet scrubber will also comply with the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21. Based on these findings, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed project. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

   1.  All conditions contained in TVOP 14-00002 and Plan Approval 14-00002A remain in effect unless superseded or amended by conditions contained in Plan Approval 14-00002H. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in Plan Approval 14-00002H and a condition contained in TVOP 14-00002 or Plan Approval 14-00002A, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained in Plan Approval 14-00002H.

   2.  The SOx emission from kiln No. 7 shall be controlled by a semiwet scrubbing system, consisting of the following equipment:

   *  One Solios model VVR-14-82 Venturi reactor (or equivalent, as approved by the Department)

   *  Two 35 ton per hour capacity conditioning drums

   *  One 35 ton per hour capacity pre-conditioning drum

   *  One 65 ton capacity recycle bin

   *  One 10 ton capacity lime kiln dust surge bin

   *  One 25 ton capacity fresh lime bin

   *  Conveyors and bucket elevators as described in the application and supplemental materials for Plan Approval 14-00002H

   3.  The PM emission from kiln No. 7 shall be controlled by a SONAIR Model 8-121-336-50668 fabric collector (or equivalent, as approved by the Department). The fabric collector shall have a minimum fabric area of 46,998 square feet and handle no more than 146,000 actual cubic feet of gas per minute. Should the permittee install and operate a spray tower to be used in lieu of a waste heat boiler, the fabric collector shall handle no more than 152,000 actual cubic feet of gas per minute.

   4.  The permittee shall only use 22 weight (ounces per square yard) woven fiberglass fabric filter bags with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, or another bag as approved by the Department that offers equivalent or better control PM emissions, in the fabric collector.

   5.  Under BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the semiwet scrubbing system shall achieve a minimum SOx removal efficiency of 93%, based on an hourly average. This condition supersedes Condition No. 19 of Plan Approval 14-00002A.

   6.  Under BAT provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the semi-wet scrubbing system associated with kiln No. 7 shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the temperature of the gas flow at the inlet to the Venturi reactor, the temperature of the gas flow at the outlet of the fabric collector, and the recycle rate of LKD, and the instrumentation shall be operated on a continuous basis at all time kiln No. 7 is in operation.

   53-00001C: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002) has submitted an application (No. 53-00001C) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for the installation of a new fuel injection system to control NOx emissions from an existing 3,000 horsepower reciprocating internal engine (Source ID P111) at their Coudersport facility (Station 313) located in Hebron Township, Potter County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit No. 53-00001 has been issued.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company indicates that the proposed installation satisfies all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on these findings, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the installation of a new fuel injection system on Source ID P111. Additionally, if the Department determines that the source and the proposed installation are operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V operating permit No. 53-00001 by means of an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

   The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:

   1.  Conditions contained in TVOP 53-00001 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by conditions contained in Plan Approval 53-00001C. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in TVOP 53-00001 or Plan Approval 53-00001C, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained in Plan Approval 53-00001C.

   2.  Source ID P111 shall comply with all requirements as specified in the Title V Operating Permit No. 53-00001

   3.  Within 30 days prior to the installation of the new fuel injection system, the permittee shall perform a CO stack test upon Source ID P111 to establish a baseline CO emission rate from Source ID P111. Within 60 days after installation of the new fuel injection system, the permittee shall perform CO and NO2 stack tests upon Source ID P111 to determine the CO emission rate and verify the compliance with the NOx emission limitation of Source ID P111.

   a.  The performance test shall consist of three separate test runs and each run shall last at least in one 1 hour in duration.

   b.  All testing is to be done using reference method test procedures acceptable to the Department and all testing is to be performed while Source ID P111 is operating at full load.

   4.  The Department will require the permittee to install a control device to control CO emissions from Source ID P111 if the results from the CO testing determine that the CO emissions increased from the baseline CO emission rate of Source ID P111. Within 60 days after the results of the testing have been approved by the Department, the permittee will be required to submit a plan approval application for a control device to control CO emissions if warranted.

   5.  The new fuel injection system shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer specifications and good air pollution control practices.

   6.  Under 25 Pa. Code § 145.113, the permittee shall perform a NO2 test upon Source ID P111 every 735 hours of operation during the ozone season (May 1 through September 30) for each year.
