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.

08-310-001F: Dalrymple Gravel and Contracting Co., Inc. (2105 South Broadway, Pine City, NY 14871) for construction of various new pieces of sand and gravel crushing, screening and conveying equipment at their existing facility in Athens Township, Bradford County. Fugitive dust emissions from the additional equipment are expected to be minimal due to the wet nature of the material to be processed and the amount of water that will be applied throughout the operation.
The Department has determined that the proposed additional equipment will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676. The Department consequently intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the respective equipment.
The Department intends to place conditions in the plan approval to be issued to assure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements. The following is a summary of these conditions:
1. If at any time it is determined that the air contaminant emissions from the crushing, screening and conveying equipment are in excess of any applicable air contaminant emission limitation, the company shall install additional water spray dust suppression nozzles and/or take other control measures as are necessary to reduce the air contaminant emissions to within the applicable limitations.
2. The air contaminant emissions from the equipment shall comply with the applicable requirements specified in Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676.
3. This plan approval does not authorize the construction of any engines or generators.
4. The company shall have onsite an operable water truck equipped with a pressurized spray bar to be used, as needed, for the prevention and control of fugitive air contaminant emissions from roadways, stock piles, truck loading activities, and so on.
55-00002A: Department of Public Welfare (P. O. Box 2675, Harrisburg, PA 17105) for the installation of an air cleaning device, a core separator, on three existing bituminous coal-fired boilers at the Selinsgrove Center in Penn Township, Snyder County. The application also requests approval to install an air cleaning device, a fabric collector, on an existing ash silo.
Selinsgrove Center is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (#55-00002) has been issued. The two 60 million Btu per hour and one 50.4 million Btu per hour boilers have been operating in noncompliance of the particulate matter emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.11. The installation of the core separator is expected to significantly reduce the particulate matter emissions from the boilers and allow them to comply with the applicable particulate matter emission limitations. The new fabric collector will replace a fabric collector which is currently controlling the particulate matter emissions from the silo.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed installations will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the particulate matter emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.11 and 123.13. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to install the proposed air cleaning devices on the respective sources.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the core separator, particulate matter stack testing shall be performed while the boilers are operating at the maximum capacity at which they will ever be operated to demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.11.
2. Once installation of the core separator is completed, none of the boilers shall operate without the simultaneous operation of the core separator.
