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--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, 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 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.

AIR QUALITY
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.
Notice is hereby given that 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact DEP through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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.
OPERATING PERMITS
Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.521 and 127.424, notice is hereby given that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the following facilities. These facilities are major facilities subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapters F (relating to operating permit requirements; and Title V Operating Permits).
Appointments to review copies of the Title V application, proposed permit and other relevant information must be made by contacting Records Management using the appropriate Regional Office telephone number noted. For additional information, contact the appropriate Regional Office noted.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Title V permit to the Regional Office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the persons submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate, should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.

35-00010: MACTAC, Inc. (4560 Darrow Road, Stow, OH 44224) in Moosic Borough, Lackawanna County. MACTAC, Inc. contains processes used in the manufacture of coated paper. As a result of emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), MACTAC is considered a major stationary source subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code 127, Subchapter G. The proposed revision of the Title V Operating Permit will incorporate applicable air quality requirements from the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for sources at the facility, and include the Department's revised VOC air quality regulations. In addition, Plan Approval No. 35-318-081 will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment along with this revision. Plan Approval No. 35-318-081 is for installation and operation of a hot melt coater (509), curing ovens and an 8 MMBTU hot oil boiler. The plan approval limits VOC emissions from the new hot melt coater to 39.9 tons per year on a 12-month rolling sum. The operating permit will contain additional record keeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the source operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

Notice of Intent to Issue a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit 37-264E: Ellwood Quality Steels Co.--New Castle Facility (EQS) (700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101) to increase production levels from 279,000 ton per year (tpy) of steel to 413,000 tpy of steel. EQS is a steel ingot manufacturing facility. This operation consists of an electric arc furnace (EAF), two ladle refining furnaces, a vacuum degasser, two ingot teeming aisles, an internal scrap yard, six natural gas fired annealing furnaces, miscellaneous steel cutting/grinding and four process steam boilers. The Department issued a plan approval for construction of the second ladle furnace on September 25, 1998. The plan approval required stack testing for the ladle furnace, as well as the EAF. The stack tests were conducted in 1999 and indicated that a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) approval would be necessary for the company to increase production levels beyond 325,000 tpy of steel. This application is subject to PSD regulations (40 CFR 52.21). This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into their Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date
Sources subject to PSD regulations must meet certain conditions prior to the issuance of a pre-construction/modification approval. These conditions are briefly described. For exact text, refer to the regulations.
1. The best available control technology must be utilized to limit the emissions of all pollutants regulated under the act, which are emitted in "significant" amounts. This determination is made on a case-by-case basis taking into account energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs.
2. A source impact analysis must be performed to demonstrate that the proposed emissions would not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of any National Ambient Air Quality Standard or any maximum allowable increase over baseline concentrations.
3. An analysis of the impairment to visibility, soils and vegetation that would occur as a result of the source operation and associated growth in commercial, residential and industrial activity must be performed.
Information submitted by EQS indicates that the emissions from the source shall comply with all applicable requirements of PSD regulations and any applicable requirements contained in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) as approved for Pennsylvania by the Environmental Protection Agency.

25. Any information required to be submitted as part of the previous conditions should be submitted to Devendra Verma, Engineering Services Chief, Air Quality, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of best available control technology, as required by the PSD regulations.
The facility will trigger PSD for CO pollutants only. The EPA model ISCST3 was used to estimate maximum concentrations on all of the terrain in the vicinity of the EQS facility. Meteorological surface data collected at a COPAMS site approximately 1/2 mile north of the EQS facility was used in the modeling. Supplemental surface and upper air meteorological data from the Pittsburgh International Airport during the period 1987--1991 was also used to complete the data set for the modeling application. A PSD increment analysis is not required because increment concentration threshold values do not exist for CO. The CO 1-hour maximum concentration was 4,021 ug/m3 combined with the background concentration of 8,239 ug/m3, the total ground level impact was 12,260 ug/m3, which is less than the NAAAQS of 40,000 ug/m3. The CO 8-hour maximum concentration was 2,175 ug/m3 combined with the background concentration of 2,747 ug/m3, the total ground level impact was 4,922 ug/m3, which is less than the NAAQS of 10,000 ug/m3. An additional impacts analysis was performed to assess the impact of EQS proposed production increase on growth, and soils and vegetation. A visibility analysis was not performed because CO is not considered a visibility-related pollutant by the current visibility models. Both the growth, and the soils and vegetation analyses indicate the impact from the EQS facility are below criteria levels and is not expected to cause an adverse impact. Also, because EQS is more than 240 km away from a Class I area (Dolly Sods and Otter Creek Wilderness Areas in WV), and since Class I Area PSD Screening Levels do not exist for CO, a Class I Area analysis was not required.
