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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 the Department, 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.
The Department 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 Department 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 Department 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. Comments or protests filed with the Department 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 the Department 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 the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

14-00005A: Department of Corrections (Box A, Bellefonte, PA 16823-0820) for construction of a natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler at the Rockview State Correctional Institution in Benner Township, Centre County. The design heat input for the respective boiler when burning natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil will be 57.7 and 54.9 million Btu per hour, respectively. The facility is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (14-00005) has been issued.
The boiler will be equipped with a low NOx burner which incorporates flue gas recirculation. The facility has proposed to voluntarily limit the amount of No. 2 fuel oil burned in the boiler to 960,000 gallons per year. The boiler will have the potential to emit up to 14.2, 37.43, 5.13, 0.99 and 21.23 tons of NOx, CO, PM, VOCs and SOx, respectively, per 12 consecutive month period.
The Department has determined that the proposed boiler 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. The Department consequently intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the respective boiler.
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. The boiler shall be equipped with a low nitrogen oxide burner system which incorporates flue gas recirculation.
2. The NOx, CO, PM, VOC and SOx emissions shall not exceed 14.2, 37.43, 5.13, 0.99 and 21.23 tons, respectively, per 12 consecutive month period.
3. The NOx, CO and VOC emissions shall never exceed 6.31, 8.56 and 0.23 pounds per hour, respectively.
4. The boiler shall not burn more than 960,000 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil per 12 consecutive month period. The company shall keep monthly records of the amount of No. 2 fuel oil burned in the respective boiler.
5. The boiler shall only burn natural gas or No. 2 fuel oil containing a sulfur content of 0.3% or less.

The engine will have the potential to emit up to 3.66, 0.3 and 0.48 tons of NOX, VOCs and CO, respectively, per 12 consecutive month period. The fugitive dust emissions from the operation of the CalAg System are expected to be minimal since a water spray dust suppression system will be used to apply water to the material throughout the process.
The Department has determined that the CalAg System 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. The Department consequently intends to issue plan approval for construction of the respective operation.
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. The fugitive dust emissions from the CalAg System shall be controlled by a water spray dust suppression system. If at any time the water spray dust suppression system is unable to provide an adequate supply of water due to freezing weather or any other reason the company shall immediately cease operation of the CalAg System.
2. The company shall have on site a water truck equipped with a pressurized spray mechanism to be used, as needed, for the control of fugitive dust emissions from plant roadways, stockpiles, and the like.
