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 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)(iii) 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice appears.

Rynone Manufacturing Corp. (P. O. Box 128, Sayre, PA 18840-0128) has submitted an application (08-00004A) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for approval to modify the fiberglass reinforced plastics operations in Sayre Borough, Bradford County.
Rynone Manufacturing Corp. is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (08-00004A) has been issued.
The information provided by the applicant indicates that the subject modification will increase the facility's potential to emit styrene by 9.8 tons per 12 consecutive month period. Styrene is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed modification will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue a plan approval to modify. If the plan approval is issued and if the fiberglass reinforced plastics operations are subsequently found to be in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and plan approval conditions, the plan approval will be incorporated into Operating Permit 49-00014 via administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
In order to ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
* This plan approval is issued for the modification of a fiberglass reinforced plastics facility comprised of four production lines and associated cleanup operations. The modification is an increase of 9.8 tons per 12 consecutive month period in the amount of VOCs and HAPs which the production lines are allowed to emit. This plan approval is also issued for the construction of a marble casting resin machine.
* The total combined VOC emissions from this facility following modification shall not exceed 35.9 tons per 12 consecutive month period, the total combined HAP emissions shall not exceed 37.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period and the total acetone emissions shall not exceed 26.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period.
