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.

The facility has the potential to emit up to 49.99 tons of VOCs, 9.44 tons of NOx, 7.93 tons of CO, 7.32 tons of PM/PM10 per year as well as negligible amounts of HAPs.
The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 08-00019. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 08-00019 with these additions, changes and exceptions:
1. Source 055 has been removed from the permit as the two boilers previously incorporated in Source 055 no longer exist at the facility and the bread oven burners previously incorporated in Source 055 are actually part of Source P101, the facility's bread oven, and are therefore more appropriately addressed in the conditions listed for Source P101.
2. Source P105 has been removed from the permit as the prebake operations incorporated in Source P105 are more appropriately addressed in the conditions listed for Source P101, the facility's bread oven.
3. Conditions requiring a weekly inspection of the facility for the presence of excessive visible air contaminant emissions, excessive visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of these inspections have been removed from the permit as the facility does not incorporate the types of sources that are likely to produce these emissions.
4. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been revised to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
5. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and semi-annual reporting, of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable annual facility-wide VOC emission limitation have been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain ''such records as are necessary'' to demonstrate compliance with the respective limitation.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and semi-annual reporting, of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitations for the burners associated with the bread oven have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to determine compliance with the applicable emission limitations with ''calculations.''
7. The stated size of the six burners incorporated in the bread oven has been corrected (1.5 mmBtu/hr each instead of 1.0 mmBtu/hr each).
8. A 3.4 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler and seven natural gas-fired makeup air units (with a total combined heat input of 1.6 mmBtu/hr) have been added to the permit.
9. A condition has been added to the permit restricting the fuel used in the facility's bread oven and associated catalytic oxidizer to natural gas.
10. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable SOx, PM and VOC emission limitations for the facility's bread oven has been removed from the permit as it is not possible to determine compliance with the applicable PM and VOC emission limitations with ''calculations'' and the use of natural gas as fuel in the oven's burners guarantees compliance with the applicable SOx emission limitation.
11. A condition has been added to the permit requiring VOC stack testing to be performed on the facility's bread oven and associated catalytic oxidizer sometime between November 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013.
12. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitation for the facility's prebake operations has been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain ''such records as are necessary'' to quantify the VOC emissions from, and determine compliance with the VOC emission limitation specified for, the prebake operations.
13. Three ink jet printers exempted from the 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 plan approval requirement on October 16, 2007, and six ink jet printers exempted from the plan approval requirement on October 15, 2008, have been added to the permit along with conditions limiting the VOC emissions from each of these two groups of ink jet printers to less than 2.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, limiting the VHAP emissions from each group to 1.0 or less tons in any 12-consecutive month period and requiring the maintenance of records of the identity and quantity of ink and ink makeup fluid used in each of these two groups each month.
14. The solvent parts washer previously listed in the permit, and all associated conditions, have been removed from the permit as the respective parts washer no longer exists at the facility.
15. A new solvent parts washer exempted from the 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 plan approval requirement on October 15, 2008, has been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 129.63 requirements for the parts washer, conditions limiting the VOC emissions from the parts washer to less than 2.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the VHAP emissions to 1.0 or less tons in any 12-consecutive month period, a condition prohibiting the use of solvents in the parts washer which contain halogenated VHAPs as an intentionally-added ingredient and a condition requiring the maintenance of records of the identity and amount of solvent added to the parts washer each month.
16. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitation for the facility's painting operation has been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain records of the identity and quantity of each material used in the painting operation each month and a condition requiring the semi-annual reporting of the ''supporting calculations'' has been removed from the permit.
