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, 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

17-305-042A: DTE River Hill, LLC (P. O. Box 8614, 425 South Main Street, Suite 201, Ann Arbor, MI 48107), as owner and Covol Fuels, a Division of Headwaters, Inc. (11778 South Election Drive, Suite 210, Draper, UT 84020), as operator, for operation of a coal fines agglomeration facility incorporating a coal fines crusher, a propane-fired agglomerated coal fines pellet drying oven, various conveyors, bins, stockpiles, etc. at their facility in Karthaus Township, Clearfield County. The coal fines crusher and agglomerated coal fines pellet drying oven were constructed under Plan Approval 17-305-042A, originally issued by the Department of Environmental Protection on June 19, 1998 and reissued on November 17, 1999 and the remainder of the facility was constructed under Plan Approval 17-305-042, issued by the Department of Environmental Protection on January 31, 2000.
The particulate matter emissions from the coal fines crusher are controlled by a fabric collector and the particulate matter emissions from the agglomerated coal fines pellet drying oven are controlled by a second fabric collector. The fugitive particulate matter from the plant's conveyors are controlled via the use of complete or partial covers. The fugitive particulate matter from the plant roadways, stockpiles, truck loading activities, etc. are controlled with a water spray dust suppression system.
The Department of Environmental Protection has determined that the respective air contamination sources were constructed and are operating, in conformance with all applicable requirements contained in Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection as well as with all conditions contained in Plan Approval 17-305-042A and all conditions contained in Plan Approval 17-305-042 which were not superseded by the conditions contained in Plan Approval 17-305-042A. The Department of Environmental Protection consequently intends to issue an operating permit for these sources.
The Department intends to place conditions in the operating permit to be issued which are intended to assure continued compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and all relevant conditions established in the respective two plan approvals as well as require appropriate monitoring and recordkeeping. The following is a summary of the most important conditions:
1. The particulate matter emissions in the exhaust of the fabric collectors associated with the coal fines crusher and agglomerated coal fines pellet drying oven shall not exceed .01 grains per dry standard cubic foot.
2. The nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions from the drying oven shall not exceed 30 ppm and 300 ppm, respectively, corrected to 3% oxygen.
3. The drying oven shall only be fired on propane or natural gas.
4. The air contaminant emissions from the plant roadways, stockpiles, truck loading activities, and the like shall be controlled by a water spray dust suppression system which is supplied by an on-demand water source capable of delivering an adequate supply of water to all spray nozzles at any time the facility is in operation. The water spray dust suppression system shall also incorporate strainers and pressure gauges at appropriate points.
5. The air contaminant emissions from the plant conveyor belts shall be controlled by conveyor belt covers.
6. Nothing shall be mixed with the coal fines which has a volatile organic compound or hazardous air pollutant content which is any greater than that of the materials identified in the application and supplemental materials submitted for Plan Approval 17-305-042.
7. The facility shall not produce more than 613,000 tons of product in any 12 consecutive month period. Records shall be maintained of the monthly production.
8. The maximum temperature of any zone in the drying oven shall not exceed 425°F. The temperature of each zone shall be continuously monitored and recorded.
9. Spare bags shall be kept on site for the fabric collectors and the compressed air used in the collectors shall come from a compressor equipped with an air dryer and an oil trap.
08-00014: State Aggregates, Inc. (4401 Camp Meeting Road, Suite 200, Center Valley, PA 18034) for a wet sand and gravel operation, batch asphalt plant and ready-mix concrete operation in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The Department intends to issue a State Only Operating Permit to this facility. The facility's main sources include: crushers, screens, conveyors, a gas (natural or LP)/#2 fuel oil-fired rotary drum dryer and storage bins, silos and tanks. These sources have the potential to emit major quantities of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter less than 10 microns in size (PM10) and sulfur oxides (SOx). The facility has taken restrictions to keep its annual CO, NOx, PM10 and SOx emissions below the major emission thresholds. The facility has the potential to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) below major emission thresholds.
18-00012: The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (North Fairview Street, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for the Lock Haven University campus in Lock Haven, Clinton County. The Department intends to issue a State Only Operating Permit to this facility. The facility's main sources include: # 2 fuel oil/natural gas-fired boilers, heaters and emergency generators. These sources have the potential to emit major quantities of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). The facility has taken restrictions to keep its annual NOx and SOx emissions below the major emission thresholds. The facility has the potential to emit carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) below major emission thresholds.
