Proposed Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology Plans and Permits; Public Hearing
Notice is hereby given that the City of Philadelphia, Department of Public Health, Air Management Services, will conduct a public hearing on Monday, May 12, 1997, in the Auditorium of the Medical Examiners Office, Spelman Building, 321 University Avenue, beginning promptly at 6 p.m. and continuing to 7 p.m. or the conclusion of testimony. The hearing is being held to receive comments from the public on the proposed approval, by the Department of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plans and permit amendments, related to emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), submitted by the facilities listed below:
Lawrence McFadden Company, located at 7600 State Rd., Philadelphia, 19136. Lawrence McFadden Co. submitted a RACT proposal for its operation of a paint manufacturing facility which generates Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The company proposes to take a Federally enforceable permit limitation on VOC emissions of 50 tons per year. Lawrence will also apply improved operating practices to reduce VOC emissions. Annual usage and other records will be documented to demonstrate compliance.
Newman & Co. Inc., located at 6101 Tacony St., Philadelphia, PA 19136. Newman & Co. Inc., Philadelphia plant has submitted a RACT proposal for its operation of NOx generating combustion equipment. The facility proposes to take a Federally enforceable permit limitation for NOx emissions totaling 122 tons/yr. The facility will perform an annual tune-up on their 118 MMBTU boiler using the specifications as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(b)(2)--(5). The facility also proposes to install, maintain and operate all other combustion sources and an emergency diesel generator in accordance with manufacturer's specifications, as per the presumptive RACT regulations of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c)(5).
Transmit America Inc., located at One Red Lion Road, Philadelphia, PA 19115. Transit America Inc. has submitted a RACT proposal for its operation of NOx generating combustion equipment. The facility proposes that RACT would be the maintenance and operation of its two 98 MMBTU/hr boilers in accordance with manufacture's specifications.
The RACT proposals have been submitted under requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 129, Stationary Sources of NOx and VOCs (129.91--129.95). Final RACT plan and permit approval actions will be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the United States Environmental Protection Agency as formal revisions to the Philadelphia portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan for Air Quality.
Copies of the proposals and other supporting information are available for public inspection at the offices of Air Management Services (AMS), 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104. For further information, please contact Norman Glazer, AMS Regulatory Services Manager at (215) 685-7572.

Proposed Revisions to the State Implementation Plan for 1990 Emission Inventory; Public Hearing
DEP proposes to amend the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) by modifying the emission inventory of Rockwell Heavy Vehicles, Inc., New Castle Forge Plant, Lawrence County, New Castle, PA. The emission inventory is for 1990, which is considered a base year since all future reductions mandated by the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments are based on that year's inventory.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations or add new requirements. The proposed inventory, if finally approved, will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held at 1 p.m., Wednesday, June 18, 1997, at the Department of Environmental Protection Northwest Regional Office, 1st Floor Conference Room, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3407. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing, which will not be a question and answer session, should contact Steve Curcio, Community Relations Coordinator, (814) 332-6945 by June 17, 1997 to register. Those unable to attend the hearing, but wish to comment, should provide written comments to Lori Cheplic, Air Pollution Control Engineer, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 on or before July 25, 1997.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the hearing should contact Steve Curcio (814) 332-6945, or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department can accommodate their needs.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304)
Delta Truck Body Company, Inc.
Perry Township, Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is initiating a prompt interim action to provide carbon treatment units for two residential well water supplies in the vicinity of Delta Truck Company, Inc. (Delta Site). These well supplies have contamination above health-based risk levels that is attributable to groundwater contamination at the Delta Site.
The Delta Site is an 11-acre parcel of land in Perry Township, Berks County, adjacent to Route 61 (US 122) just north of Mohrsville and Birch Hills Roads. The surrounding area is a mixture of residential, industrial and commercial development. Two private well water supplies located west and downgradient of the Delta Site have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the Delta Site.
Historically the Delta Site has housed businesses engaged in the fabrication and painting of auto truck bodies. Delta Truck Company, Inc. (Delta) operated at this location from 1959 to 1993 under various corporate names. Delta filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy which was converted to Chapter 7 bankruptcy on October 10, 1990. Site operations closed on September 27, 1993.
Previous actions at the Delta Site removed drummed hazardous wastes and contaminated soils, and three groundwater monitoring wells were installed. Sampling of the monitoring wells revealed contamination of the groundwater with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA). 1,1,1-TCA is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that has toxic properties and is a hazardous substance as defined in the HSCA.
Because concentrations of 1,1,1-TCA are present in two offsite downgradient residential wells above the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 200 parts per billion (ppb), the Department has conducted a prompt interim response to provide water treatment on each of the contaminated residential wells. This action will be protective of human health from the exposure to 1,1,1-TCA through ingestion and inhalation.
