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.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110; Contact: Ronald Davis, New Source Review Chief, 17-705-4702.
06-05024B: Reliant Energy Mid-Atlantic Power Holdings, LLC (P. O. Box 1050, Johnstown, PA 15907-1050). The Department has made a preliminary determination to issue a plan approval and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Titus Station in Cumru Township, Berks County.
The proposed plan approval and SIP revision adopts new sulfur dioxide emission limits for the three boilers used in the generation of electricity controlled by electrostatic precipitators, low NOx burners with SOFA and low sulfur coal. The emissions from the sources will not be changed and may result in a reduction in sulfur dioxide due to the use of lower sulfur coals. The proposed new sulfur dioxide limits are 2.7 pounds per million Btu (3 hour block average) and 2.4 pounds per million Btu (24 hour block average). The facility is a major source subject to Title V. The facility is also subject to acid rain and the NOx allowance regulations. The plan approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice requirements designed to keep the source operating within these limits and all other air quality requirements. The Title V Operating Permit No. 06-05024 presently covers the facility.
According to 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the EPA approves the substitute model. As an alternative to the EPA Guideline Models, AERMOD was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed modification to the Reliant generating facility. Specific approval for the use of AERMOD in this analysis was granted by the EPA Region III Administrator and was consistent with the recommendations under section 3.2 of Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51.
Pertinent documents are available at the Reading Distinct Office. Reviews may be scheduled by contacting Roger Fitterling at (610) 916-0100 between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal and the use of the nonguideline model, AERMOD. The hearing will be held on January 7, 2003, at 9 a.m. in the Reading District Office. The public is invited to comment on the proposal and SIP revision. Persons wishing to give testimony at the hearing should contact Roger Fitterling at (610) 916-0100 to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to 10 minutes. Groups or organizations are required to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf. Commenters shall provide two written copies of their remarks at the time of the hearings.
