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.

OPERATING PERMITS


Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, Edward Jurdones Brown, Facilities Permitting Chief, (484) 250-5920.

   15-00019: Exelon Generation Co.--Cromby Generating Station (100 Cromby Road, Phoenixville, PA, 19460-1882) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in East Pikeland Township, Chester County. The initial permit was issued on July 6, 2000. The facility is primarily used for providing electrical energy from two fossil-fuel steam generating units (one coal and one natural gas/fuel oil unit). As a result of potential emissions of NOx, SOx and PM, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Permit Renewal does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The facility is subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64 for PM for Source 031 and this has been addressed in the renewal permit. The renewal permit contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting

   23-00043: Sunoco Partners Marketing and Terminals, LP--Hog Island Wharf (No. 4 Hog Island Road, Philadelphia, PA 19153) for renewal of the Title V Operating Permit in Tinicum Township, Delaware County. The initial permit was issued on April 12, 2000, and was amended on November 5, 2002 for a change of ownership. The facility is a marine cargo-handling terminal. No changes have taken place at this facility that were not previously permitted. The renewal contains all applicable requirements including monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting. The sources at this facility are not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64.

   Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, Muhammad Zaman, Facilities Permitting Chief, (570) 327-0512.

   18-00005: Dominion Transmission, Inc. (445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301) for renewal of Title V Operating Permit 18-00005 for a natural gas compressor station (Finnefrock Compressor Station) in Leidy Township, Clinton County.

   The facility incorporates six natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion compressor engines (three 1,100 horsepower engines, one 4,000 horsepower engine, one 6,000 horsepower engine and one 4,200 horsepower engine), an 823 horsepower natural gas-fired auxiliary generator, a 3.34 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired boiler, a 2.75 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired boiler, a solvent parts washer and several lubricating oil, waste oil, ethylene glycol and wastewater storage tanks. This facility has the potential to emit as much as 751 tons of NOx, 388 tons of CO, 163.7 tons of VOCs and 42.9 tons of formaldehyde as well as small amounts of SOx and PM including PM10.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew Title V Operating Permit 18-00005. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in Title V Operating Permit 18-00005 with these exceptions, changes and additions:

   1.  The 4.4 ton per 12-consecutive month VOC emission limitation previously specified in the permit for fugitive emissions (Source P101) has been replaced with the 15.41 ton per 12-consecutive month VOC emission limitation established in Plan Approval 18-00005C issued on January 18, 2006.

   2.  A new source, a remote reservoir solvent parts washer, has been added to the permit (as Source P109) along with the applicable regulatory requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code § 129.63.

   3.  Conditions requiring weekly ''walk around'' inspections of the facility and the maintenance of records of these inspections have been removed from the permit as the Department feels that the type of air contaminant emission limit violations that could occur from this type of facility cannot be detected during a ''walk around'' inspection. Such inspections are consequently of no real value.

   4.  Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the amount of fuel used in the 3.34 million Btu per hour and 2.75 million Btu per hour boilers each month as well as records of the amount of VOCs emitted from the boilers each month have been removed from the permit as the intent of these records had been to demonstrate compliance with VOC emission limitations which the boilers are incapable of exceeding even if fired at maximum capacity around the clock. As there is no question of compliance with the respective limitations, there is no need to maintain the respective records.

   5.  Conditions have been added to the permit requiring the performance of NOx, CO and VOC/nonmethane hydrocarbon stack testing on the facility's six engines sometime between 1 and 2 years after the permit renewal is issued.

   6.  Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the amount of VOCs emitted from the facility's storage tanks have been removed from the permit as the intent of these records had been to demonstrate compliance with VOC emission limitations which the tanks are incapable of exceeding. As there is no question of compliance with the respective limitations, there is no need to maintain the respective records.
