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, 303, 304 and 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 any 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 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, or 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 as 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's Regional Office under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor 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. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. 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's 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 to the date of the hearing.
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 and regulations adopted under the act.

27. 25 Pa. Code § 273.217 requires landfill operators to implement fugitive dust control measures. This criteria specifies the reasonable actions that are necessary for the prevention of fugitive dust emissions from the operation of landfills in accordance with these requirements. The fugitive emission control criteria are as follows:
a) Parking lots/areas and the landfill access roadways from the public highway to the landfill and other haul roads inside the landfill shall be paved, maintained and cleaned by vacuum sweeping or any other approved means. All parking lots/areas shall be cleaned at least weekly and the access roadways cleaned at least daily.
b) The access roadways if unpaved at the unloading areas (active cells) shall have a crown so that water runs off and does not pool. Water or other dust suppressants shall be applied to the unpaved road surface to reduce fugitive dusts. Water, if used, shall be applied at least twice a day, weather permitting. Dust suppressants, if used, shall be applied as needed, but at least once a month.
c) Water or other dust suppressants shall be applied on the shoulder of access roadways and the shoulder of the public highway for a distance of 500 feet in both directions. Water, if used, shall be applied at least twice a day, weather permitting. Dust suppressants, if used, shall be applied at least once a month. Application of dust suppressants on the public highway shall be done in accordance with the appropriate Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Bulletins.
d) No waste oil shall be used as dust suppressant for the unpaved surface.
e) Earth or other material deposited by trucking or other means on the paved roadways, including public highway, shall be promptly removed from the paved roadways.
f) Upon leaving the landfill, the undercarriage, wheels and chassis of the vehicles which were used to transport wastes and earth shall be washed, as necessary, to prevent earthen carryout onto roadways.
g) All trucks entering the landfill shall be covered.
h) A speed limit of 15 miles per hour shall be observed on all paved access roadways and 10 miles per hour on all unpaved areas. Speed limit signs shall be posted consistent with the requirements of PennDOT (overall dimension 30" x 24", ''SPEED LIMIT'' in 4 inch letters and 10 inch numerals.
28. A detailed record describing the time, location, type and amount of roadway surface treatment shall be maintained at the landfill site for at least 5 years. At a minimum, the record shall include the following:
a) For paved roads and parking lot areas:
i) Daily log of engine run time and odometer reading for the vacuum sweeper.
ii) Daily log of time and location of any maintenance.
iii) Identification, time and location of any maintenance, repairs, patching or repaving of roads.
iv) A log explaining the reasons any required vacuum sweeping was not performed.
b) For unpaved roads and shoulders of paved roads:
i) Log of time and location of treated areas.
ii) Daily log of meter reading of spray-bar and/or pump and odometer reading of trucks used to apply dust suppressants and the identification of these dust suppressants.
iii) Daily log of the dilution ratios of the dust suppressants and diluent used if chemical suppressants are used.
iv) Purchase records of the chemical suppressants, if used.
c) Quarterly reports of the above records shall be submitted to the Department. The reports shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter.
29.
