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.

53-329-011: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. (9 Greenway Plaza, 1626B, Houston, TX 77046) for construction of a natural gas booster station, comprised of two 4-stroke lean burn natural gas-fired internal combustion reciprocating compressor engines rated at 2,365 brake-horsepower and a 4-stroke rich burn natural gas-fired internal combustion reciprocating engine rated at 250 brake-horsepower incorporating a 180 kilowatt generator, at their site located in Genesee Township, Potter County. In addition to the air contaminant sources previously listed, the subject booster station will also incorporate eight space heaters, one HVAC unit and five storage tanks. Additionally, the subject booster station will also be a source of fugitive VOCs.
The Ellisburg Booster Station will be a minor facility when constructed.
The information provided by the applicant, as well as the Department's own analysis, indicates that the natural gas booster station will have the potential to emit 33.4 tons of NOx per year, 25.2 tons of carbon monoxide (CO) per year, 34.2 tons of VOCs per year and 12.0 tons of hazardous air pollutants per year, of which 9.1 tons would be formaldehyde. Additionally, although the booster station will have the potential to emit particulate matter and oxides of sulfur, the corresponding emission of these air contaminants will be insignificant.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed natural gas booster station will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. 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.
* Each of the two compressor engines shall incorporate ''clean burn'' electronic control systems and be equipped with an Engelhard oxidation catalyst to control the air contaminant emissions from the respective compressor engine. Additionally, the oxidation catalysts should be capable of reducing the CO, VOC and formaldehyde emissions by 80%, 40% and 50%, respectively.
* The air contaminant emissions from each compressor engine shall not exceed the following limitations:
NOx, expressed as NO2 3.65 pounds per hour CO 2.61 pounds per hour VOCs 2.82 pounds per hour Oxides of sulfur (SOx) 0.01 pound per hour PM 0.167 pound per hour Total combined hazardous air pollutants 1.37 pounds per hour Formaldehyde 1.04 pounds per hour * The air contaminant emissions from the emergency generator shall not exceed the following limitations:
NOx, expressed as NO2 5.51 pounds per hour CO 20.94 pounds per hour VOCs 0.25 pound per hour SOx 0.05 pound per hour Particulate matter 0.001 pound per hour * The compressor engines and the emergency generator shall be fired on only pipeline quality natural gas.
* The emergency generator shall not be operated more than 500 hours per year.
* The total combined fugitive VOC emissions from the booster station shall not exceed 9.5 TPY.
* The total combined air contaminant emissions from the booster station shall not exceed the following limitations:
NOx, expressed as NO2 33.4 TPY CO 25.2 TPY VOCs 34.2 TPY Total combined hazardous air pollutants 12.0 TPY Formaldehyde 9.0 TPY * The company shall maintain comprehensive and accurate records of the number of hours the compressor engines and the emergency generator are operated for each month.
* The company shall perform stack testing upon each compressor engine and the emergency generator to demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations identified herein.
