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 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.

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.

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.

Code § 127.450.
The Department intends to place conditions in the plan approval to be issued pertaining to the operation and monitoring of the equipment. These conditions are intended to assure proper operation of the equipment as well as compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements. The following is a summary of these conditions:
1. The paddle mixer shall be kept closed during all times of operation except during times of manual additive additions.
2. All material conveying operations shall be conducted in completely enclosed transfer chutes and/or piping systems.
3. The delivery truck operator shall be in attendance at all times of storage silo loading and shall immediately stop material loading should the silo pressure relief lids open.

5. Neither of the SulfaTreat adsorption units shall emit hydrogen sulfide in excess of one part per million by volume as measured at the outlet of the adsorption unit.
6. The presence of hydrogen sulfide from the skeet target production line shall not be detectable by humans outside the facility boundaries.
7. Reagent Chemical & Research shall test the emissions from the SulfaTreat adsorption units with hydrogen sulfide Dr[00e4]ger tubes capable of detecting one part per million by volume (or less) hydrogen sulfide on a monthly basis.
8. Reagent Chemical & Research shall operate hydrogen sulfide monitoring sensors for the detection of hydrogen sulfide emissions within the confines of the facility.
9. Reagent Chemical & Research shall vent hydrogen sulfide emissions from the skeet target molding operations to one (or both) of the SulfaTreat adsorption units should hydrogen sulfide emissions be detected from the molding operations.
10. Reagent Chemical & Research shall use only water-based coatings in the skeet target surface coating operation.
