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.

   The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

   Southcentral Region: Environmental Cleanup Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

Box 269, Portersville, PA 16051 has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate. Previous investigations conducted at the site indicate that site soils have been impacted with PCB's. Proposed remediation measures are to eliminate current and future exposure pathways by prohibiting excavations in the area of impacted soils and by prohibiting the use of groundwater as a potable water source. The intended future use is nonresidential.

   Baylor's Mobil Station (Former), Monroeville Borough, Allegheny County. Michael Smith, CP Environmental Group, Inc., 1092 Fifth Avenue, New Kensington, PA 15068 on behalf of James Bishop, P. O. Box 47, Turtle Creek, PA 15145 has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate. Groundwater is impacted with gasoline at concentrations above Statewide Health Standards. The source of the impacts is likely underground storage tank systems operated at the site prior to 1972. Benzene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and naphthalene concentrations have been detected at concentrations above Statewide Health Standards. Future property use will likely continue to be nonresidential.

   Allegheny Power, Connellsville West Side Facility, Connellsville Borough, Fayette County.

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.

   49-00033D: Watsontown Brick Company (P. O. Box 68, Route 405, Watsontown, PA 17777-0068) has submitted an application (No. 49-00033D) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for plan approval for the construction and operation of a 5.5 tons per hour brick making operation which includes the following sources: a 31 mmBtu/hr natural gas fired tunnel kiln, the air contaminant emissions controlled by a dry sorbent injection system and two fabric collectors operating in parallel, a 3 mmBtu/hr natural gas fired brick preheater, a 12 mmBtu/hr waste heat/natural gas fired brick dryer, a grinding and brick making operation, the air contaminant emissions controlled by a cartridge collector, a 500 kilowatt diesel fired emergency generator, and several small natural gas combustion sources. The new brick making operation will be designated as Plant No. 3 at their brick making facility located in Delaware Township, Northumberland County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit 49-00033 has been issued.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Watsontown Brick Company indicates that the proposed plant No. 3 will meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive PM emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The proposed grinding and brick making operations will also meet the requirements of Subpart OOO of the New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR Part 60, 60.670--60.676. Additionally, the proposed diesel generator will meet the requirements of Subpart IIII of the New Source Performance Standards, 40 CFR Part 60, 60.4200--60.4219. Based on these findings, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval for the construction and operation of all the sources and air cleaning devices for plant No. 3. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources are operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V operating permit 49-00033 by means of an administrative amendment under 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.  Under the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, Source ID P301 is a 5.5 tons per hour natural gas fired Lingl tunnel kiln rated at 31 mmBtu/hr.
