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 after 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.

41-302-042B: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (USP Allenwood, P. O. Box 3500, White Deer, PA 17887-3500) for modification of two existing 12.55 million Btu per hour boilers at the Allenwood Federal Prison Camp in Brady Township, Lycoming County by utilizing landfill gas from the Lycoming County Landfill as fuel in the boilers in addition to the natural gas and #2 fuel oil which the boilers are currently approved to use.
The boilers are expected to destroy at least 98% of the nonmethane organic compounds present in the landfill gas, or, alternately, achieve a nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boilers' exhaust gas of 20 parts per million or less (on a dry volume basis, expressed as hexane, corrected to 3% oxygen). This level of nonmethane organic compound control complies with the landfill gas destruction efficiency requirements of Subpart WWW of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (40 CFR 60.750--60.759, Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills), even though the respective boilers are not subject to said requirements and is also the same level of control proposed by the EPA on November 7, 2000, as maximum achievable control technology for the control of hazardous air pollutants in landfill gas from municipal waste landfills.
The use of landfill gas as fuel in the respective boilers is also expected to result in the emission of up to .44 pound of nitrogen oxides, .45 pound of carbon monoxide and .38 pound of sulfur oxides per hour from each boiler. These nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emission rates are approximately equivalent to the emission rates which result from the use of natural gas in the boilers but lower than the rates which result from the use of #2 fuel oil. The sulfur oxides emission rate resulting from the use of landfill gas will be higher than that resulting from the use of natural gas but significantly lower than that resulting from the use of #2 fuel oil.
A preliminary review of the information contained in the application indicates that the respective boilers, as modified, will meet all applicable 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. Based on the information currently in its possession, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the modification of the respective boilers.
A public meeting and hearing will be scheduled by the Department for this application. An announcement containing the exact date, time and location of this meeting and hearing will be published by the Department in a newspaper of general circulation in Lycoming County.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. At any time that either of the respective two boilers is firing landfill gas, that boiler shall achieve a nonmethane organic compound destruction efficiency of at least 98% or, alternately, achieve a nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boiler flue gas of 20 parts per million or less (on a dry volume basis, expressed as hexane, corrected to 3% oxygen).
2. Each boiler shall be equipped with a flue gas recirculation system.
3. The nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides emission rates from each boiler shall not exceed .44, .45 and .38 pound per hour, respectively, when firing landfill gas.
4. Within 90 days of the initial firing of landfill gas in a boiler, stack testing shall be performed on that boiler to determine the nonmethane organic compound destruction efficiency in the boiler as well as the nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boiler's exhaust.
5. Records shall be maintained of the amount of landfill gas burned in each boiler each month.
6. The boilers shall burn only landfill gas from the Lycoming County Landfill, natural gas or virgin #2 fuel oil. Additionally, only one of these fuels may be burned in a boiler at any given time.
60-0001B: Bucknell University (Department of Physical Plant, Lewisburg, PA 17837) for construction of a 5.5 megawatt natural gas/#2 fuel oil-fired (dual fuel) combustion turbine equipped with dry low NOx combustors in Lewisburg Borough, Union County. The proposed dual fuel combustion turbine will replace a natural gas-fired combustion turbine currently operating at the facility.
Bucknell University is currently a synthetic minor facility for which a State only operating permit (60-00001) has been issued. However following startup of the combustion turbine, Bucknell University will become a major facility and will need to submit an application for a Title V operating permit.
The information provided by the applicant, as well as the Department's own analysis, indicates that construction of the dual fuel combustion turbine will increase the facility's potential emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) by 11.13 tons per year and their emission of sulfur oxides (SOx, expressed as SO2) by 10.10 tons per year. The facility's potential emission of all other air contaminants will remain relatively unchanged.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed turbine will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart GG of the Federal Standards of Performance for Stationary Gas Turbines (NSPS) specified in 40 CFR 60.330--60.335. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue a plan approval.
To ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
1. The air contaminant emissions from the combustion turbine shall not exceed the respective limitations as listed:
Firing natural gas Nitrogen oxides (NOx,
expressed as NO2)25 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 6.58 pounds per hour Carbon monoxide 50 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 8.02 pounds per hour VOC (expressed as
methane)25 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 2.30 pounds per hour Sulfur oxides (SOx,
expressed as SO2)0.09 pound per hour Firing #2 fuel oil Nitrogen oxides (NOx,
expressed as NO2)90 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 22.04 pounds per hour Carbon monoxide 50 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 6.99 pounds per hour VOC (expressed as
methane)25 ppmdv @ 15% O2 and 2.00 pounds per hour Sulfur oxides (SOx,
expressed as SO2)14.12 pounds per hour 2. The air contaminant emissions from the combustion turbine shall not exceed the respective limitations as listed during any 12 consecutive month period:
Nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed
as NO2)39.95 tons Carbon monoxide 34.39 tons VOC (expressed as methane) 9.86 tons Sulfur oxides (SOx, expressed
as SO2)12.82 tons Particulate matter 10.50 tons 3. The combustion turbine is to be fired only on natural gas or #2 fuel oil, to which there has been no reclaimed or waste oil or other waste materials added. Additionally, the sulfur content of the #2 oil fired in the turbine shall not at any time exceed 0.2% (by weight).
4. The combustion turbine shall not be operated more than 1,440 hours in any 12 consecutive month period while being fired on #2 fuel oil.
5. The University shall maintain accurate, comprehensive records of the number of hours the combustion turbine is operated each month while firing natural gas and while firing #2 fuel oil, as well as fuel supplier certifications for each shipment of fuel oil received to demonstrate that the oil used complies with the 0.2% sulfur content limitation.
6. The University shall perform concurrent nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2), carbon monoxide and VOC (expressed as methane) testing using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. The testing shall be performed while the turbine is being fired on natural gas, as well as when being fired on #2 fuel oil and operating under maximum load conditions. The university shall submit a test report containing the results of the testing to the Department for review.
7. Two years after the performance of the initial compliance testing and every 2 years thereafter, the University shall perform nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) and carbon monoxide testing using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. The testing shall be performed while the turbine is being fired on natural gas, as well as when being fired on #2 fuel oil and operating under maximum load conditions. The University shall submit a test report containing the results of the testing to the Department for review.
