UNDER ACT 2, 1995
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, 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.

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. Any 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.

48-309-118: ESSROC Cement Corp. (Permittee) (3251 Bath Pike, Nazareth, PA 18064). Notice given under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21 that the Department is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Lower Nazareth Township, Northampton County for the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at plants I, II and III as described in the Permittee's December 19, 2001, Plan Approval Application and subsequent supplemental submissions.
The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at plants I, II and III to satisfy four conditions before approval to modify and operation may granted by the Department. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by best available control technology. Second, particulate and sulfur dioxide air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable annual, 24 hour or 3-hour air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause violation of either the National primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation and visibility in the vicinity of the proposed plant site.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by ESSROC Cement Corporation indicates that the modification and operation of plants I, I and III will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four previously stated. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modifications of plants I, II and III.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted for the Department's own analysis.
Pollutant Emission limit Tons/year PM10 1,494.8 TSP 2,825.9 SO2 4,503.4 NOx 3,402.0 CO 5,974.8 VOC 82.3 Fluoride 1.2 Lead 0.9 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NOx, SO2 and PM emissions from the proposed modification will not increase at a significant rate as these emissions are netted out by the emissions decrease from the proposed shut down of four cement kilns and associated clinker coolers operations at Nazareth III. A decreasing of NOx emissions from the shut down of existing kilns and associated clinker coolers at Nazareth III will offset NOx emission increase from the proposed modification. No net increase will occurs in total particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions from this project, therefore, the particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions do not affect the allowable annual, 24 hour or 3 hour air quality class increments applicable in the area. The modeling performed has demonstrated that the proposed net emissions increase in carbon monoxide will not have a significant impact.
According to 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (relating Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the EPA approves the substitute model. Use of the substituted model must also be subject to notice and an opportunity for public comment.
As an alternative to EPA Guideline Models, ISC-PRIME model was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed ESSROC facility. Specific approval for the use of ISC-PRIME 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. The Department is requesting written comments on ISC-PRIME, the EPA-approved substitute model used for the ESSROC modification. Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice given that the Department is soliciting written comments on the use of the nonguideline model, ISC-PRIME, approved by the EPA.
