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.

NOTICE OF 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 may 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.

   16-0127A Piney Creek Ltd. Partnership (R. R. 2, Box 56, Clarion, PA 16214) for modification of fuels for the fluidized bed combustor (Source 031) at the facility in Piney Township, Clarion County.

   Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to the Piney Creek Power Plant in Piney Township, Clarion County. The facility was issued a Title V permit No. TV-16-00127 on August 27, 2002. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.

   Plan approval No.16-127A is for modification of fuels for the fluidized bed combustor (Source 031) at the facility. The facility conducted emission tests for zinc, arsenic, beryllium cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, dioxins, furans, acid gases, HCL, SOx, NOx, CO, particulates and other organic Products of Incomplete Combustion, such as Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Polycyclic Organic Matter and Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene. The facility used the results of the emission tests to conduct modeling for the pollutants of concern. In addition, an inhalation risk assessment was conducted to evaluate the excess lifetime cancer risk and noncancer risk introduced by the use of the fuel-mixture. The Department determined that the use of the 10% fuel additive would pose no additional health risk over the use of the existing fuel. Based on the analysis of the emission test results, the emissions increase associated with burning the 10% blend with the existing fuel would be less than significant (40 CFR 52.21(b)(23)). The NO2, SOx and VOC emissions increase will be less than 40 tpy for each pollutant respectively. The emissions increase of CO, TSP, PM10, lead and H2SO4 will be less than 100 tpy, 25 tpy, 15 tpy, 0.6 tpy and 7 tpy, respectively. The modification does not trigger PSD or New Source Review requirements. The Plan Approval will contain the following conditions:

   1.  The facility shall use only bituminous gob, No. 2 oil, or a mixture of bituminous gob and nonhazardous organic tars and oils from former Manufactured Gas Plants (MGP) and Coke Plants (hereafter referred to as ''alternative fuel'' in this plan approval) as fuels for the circulating fluidized bed boiler (Source 031). The maximum blend rate of the alternative fuel shall not exceed 10%. The total charging rate for all fuels combined shall not exceed 450 mmBtu/hr.

   2.  The permittee shall obtain prior approval from the Department's Waste Management Program prior to initiating the fuel modification.

   3.  Fuel samples shall be taken daily and analyzed to determine: ash content (% by weight); sulfur content (% by weight); and heat value (Btus per pound). Quarterly reports shall be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Manager within 30 days of the end of the quarter.

   4.  The facility shall continue to comply with the existing Site Level requirements of the Title V Operating Permit. The facility shall continue to comply with the existing Source Level requirements of the Title V Operating Permit for the following sources:

Source ID Source Name
031 Fluidized Bed Combustor
101 Bulk Unloading and Transport
103A Primary Crusher
104 Conveying System
105 Boiler Feed Bunkers
106 Limestone Storage Bin
107A Fly Ash Silo
107B Bed Ash Silo
108 Ash Loadout (Truck Fill)

   5.  The permittee shall keep daily records of all fuels burned in the circulating fluidized bed boiler (CFB) as follows:

   a)  The total fuel fed to the CFB as verified by the load cell and facility lab.

   b)  The Btu content of the fuel as fed and automatically sampled.

   c)  The estimated tons of daily alternative fuel blended.

   6.  The permittee shall keep records of the total alternative fuel received and burned monthly as supported by the certified scale weights. Records shall be maintained for at least 5 years.

   7.  The permittee shall keep records of hours of operation for the CFB and hourly, daily, monthly and yearly records of the fuels fired in the boiler in a format approved by the Department.

   8.  The permittee shall keep records of the fuel sampling analysis in a format approved by the Department.

   9.  Additional emission testing shall be conducted for CO, particulate matter (TSP and PM10), lead and mercury within 90 days of issuance of the plan approval and at least once every 2 years thereafter. The stack tests shall be performed while firing a blend of bituminous gob with 10% alternative fuel. The stack tests shall be performed while the CFB is operating at the maximum capacity as stated on the application.

   10.  The source tests shall be conducted in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 as per the Department's source testing procedures described in the latest Source Testing Manual or source testing procedures approved by the Department prior to testing.

   11.  At least 60 days prior to the tests, test procedures and sketches with dimensions indicating the location of sampling ports and other data to ensure the collection of representative samples shall be submitted to the Department for approval.

   12.  At least 2 weeks prior to the tests, the Department shall be informed of the date and time of the tests.

   13.  Within 60 days after completion of the tests, three copies of the complete test reports, including all operating conditions, shall be submitted to the Department for approval.

   14.  The permittee shall monitor the emissions of any regulated NSR pollutant, as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(50), that could increase as a result of the project and that are emitted by the CFB. The monitoring shall include the CEM data for SO2 and NOx and also include the emissions based on the required CO, lead, mercury, TSP and PM10 stack testing.

   Authority for this condition is also derived from 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6)(iii).

   15.  The permittee shall calculate and maintain a record of the annual emissions, in tons per year on a calendar year basis, for a period of 5 years following resumption of regular operations after the change.

   16.  The permittee shall provide the Department with a description of the applicability test used to determine that the project is not a major modification for any regulated NSR pollutant, including the baseline actual emissions, the projected actual emissions, the amount of emissions excluded under 40 CFR 52.21(b)(41)(ii)(c) and an explanation for why such amount was excluded, and any netting calculations, if applicable within 60 days of issuance of the plan approval but prior to burning the alternative fuel.

   Authority for this condition is also derived from 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6)(i)(c).

   17.  In determining the projected actual emissions under 40 CFR 52.21(b)(41)(i), the permittee shall:

   (a)  Consider relevant information including historical operational data, the company's own representations, the company's expected business activity and the company's highest projections of business activity, the company's filings with the State or Federal regulatory authorities and compliance plans under the approved State Implementation Plan.

   (b)  Include fugitive emissions to the extent quantifiable and emissions associated with startups, shutdowns and malfunctions.

   (c)  Exclude, in calculating any increase in emissions that results from the particular project, that portion of the unit's emissions following the project that an existing unit could have accommodated during the consecutive 24-month period used to establish the baseline actual emissions under 40 CFR 52.21(b)(48) and that are also unrelated to the particular project, including any increased utilization due to product demand growth.

   Authority for this condition is also derived from 40 CFR 52.21(b)(41).

   18.  The permittee shall submit a report to the Department within 60 days after the end of each year during which records must be generated under 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6)(iii) setting out the CFB's annual emissions during the calendar year that preceded submission of the report. The report shall also include the baseline actual emissions as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(48)(i) and as identified in the plan approval application. In addition, the report shall include the comparison (net change) of the baseline actual emissions and the projected actual emissions, and the major modification thresholds for all of the regulated NSR pollutants (as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(50)). The report shall be submitted to John F. Guth, Regional Air Quality Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

   Authority for this condition is also derived from 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6)(iv).

   19.  The permittee shall make the information required to be documented and maintained pursuant to condition 40 CFR 52.21(r)(6) available for review upon a request for inspection by the Department, the Environmental Protection Agency or the general public pursuant to the requirements contained in 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(viii).

   Authority for this condition is also derived from 40 CFR 52.21(r)(7).

   20.  The existing Title V emission restrictions shall remain in affect for the facility. If it is determined that the project has caused a significant net emissions increase (as those terms are defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(3)(I) and (23)(ii) as a result of the alternative fuel modification, and based on the records submitted each year for 5 years after the alternative fuel modification, the facility will become subject to PSD at that time. In the event that a significant net emissions increase occurs, the facility shall cease burning the 10% blend of coal tar with the bituminous gob and obtain a plan approval that demonstrates compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR 52.21(j)--(r) as well as 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E (pertaining to New Source Review requirements) and any other applicable regulations.
