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 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, 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 below, 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 of Environmental Protection 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.

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
New Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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 DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these 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 the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP 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 DEP 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. Any comments or protests filed with DEP 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 DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

19-322-002: White Pines Landfill (515 State Route 442, Millville, PA 17846) for construction of a municipal waste landfill at the present location of the company's existing residual waste landfill in Pine Township, Columbia County. The information provided by the applicant and the Air Quality Program's own analysis indicates that this entire operation may potentially result in the emission of 236.88 tons per 12 consecutive month period of particulate matter, 69.56 tons of which may also be particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10), 15.71 tons per 12 consecutive month period of nitrogen oxides, 37.87 tons per 12 consecutive month period of carbon monoxide, 9.82 tons per 12 consecutive month period of sulfur oxides, 7.21 tons per 12 consecutive month period of non-methane organic compounds and 3.52 tons per 12 consecutive month period of hazardous air pollutants. A preliminary review of the information submitted by White Pines Landfill indicates that the proposed construction will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based on this finding, the Air Quality Program intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to construct the proposed municipal waste landfill provided that all other affected Programs within the Department of Environmental Protection are also prepared to issue the various other Department permits and approvals required for the respective project.
Issuance of this plan approval will make the White Pines Landfill a Title V facility and thus, subject the facility to the Title V rules and regulations.
In order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality standards, the Air Quality Program proposes to place the following conditions in the respective plan approval:
1. The municipal solid waste landfill is to be constructed in accordance with the plans submitted with the application (as approved herein).
2. This plan approval is issued for the construction of a municipal solid waste landfill consisting of a disposal area and a network of access and haul roads. The disposal area shall consist of six cells and have a total waste disposal capacity of approximately 3,000,000 tons (2,750,000 megagrams).
3. This plan approval is also issued for the installation of a landfill gas extraction and collection system associated with the disposal area identified in condition 2 herein.
4. Under Section 60.752(b)(2)(iii) of Part 60 of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and the best available technology provisions of Sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection, the landfill gas collected with the landfill gas extraction and collection system identified in condition 3 herein shall be controlled by an enclosed ground-type flare.
5. Under the best available technology provisions of Sections 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection, the flare identified in condition 4 herein shall meet the following design/operational criteria:
a. The flare shall be equipped with the necessary equipment to allow auxiliary fuel to be bled into the landfill gas to enhance its heat content.
b. The flare shall be equipped with a continuous pilot ignition source using an auxiliary fuel.
c. There shall be sufficient flow of auxiliary fuel during system startup or restart such that a flame is supported and unburned gases are not emitted to the atmosphere.
d. The flare shall have no visible flames or emissions except for periods not to exceed a total of 5 minutes in any two consecutive hours and the emissions during these periods shall not exceed 10% opacity.
e. The flare shall achieve and maintain a non-methane organic compound destruction/removal efficiency of at least 98% by weight at all times landfill gas is vented to it. This minimum destruction efficiency requirement is also required by Section 60.752(b)(2)(ii)(B) of Part 60 of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources.
