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 after which the notice appears.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Contact: David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
41-00010C: Andritz, Inc. (35 Sherman Street, Muncy, PA 17756-1202) for the modification of a foundry molding line (refiner plate molding line) in the company's facility in Muncy Borough and Muncy Creek Township, Lycoming County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (41-00010) has been issued.
The proposed modification is an increase in the allowable VOC emission rate from the refiner plate molding line from the current rate of 0 ton in any 12 consecutive month period to 57.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the modified refiner plate molding line will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 (the refiner plate molding line is subject to the RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 because it existed prior to July 15, 1994). Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the modification of the refiner plate molding line.
The Department also proposes to establish RACT requirements for a core making operation and establish revised RACT requirements for a green sand molding line and a no-bake floor molding line which previously had RACT requirements established on August 16, 1999. All of these sources existed prior to July 15, 1994.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve Andritz's RACT plan for the refiner plate molding line, the core making operation, the green sand molding line and the no-bake floor molding line as well as an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The proposed SIP amendment does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the Department's approval of the RACT plan. If approved, the RACT determination will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP.
The following is a summary of the conditions addressing both the modification of the refiner plate molding line and the RACT determination for the refiner plate molding line, core making operation, green sand molding line and no-bake floor molding line which the Department intends to place in the plan approval to be issued.
1. The total combined VOC emissions from the refiner plate molding line shall not exceed 57.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
2. The combined VOC emissions from the green sand molding line and no-bake floor molding line plus the combined VOCs emissions from various propane-fired generators and minor sources shall not exceed a total of 69.86 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. The total amount of steel processed by the refiner plate molding line shall not exceed 11,000 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
4. The total combined amount of steel processed by the green sand molding line and the no-bake floor molding line shall not exceed 8,000 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
5. The refiner plate molding line shall not be operated more than 7,000 hours in any 12 consecutive month period.
6. The green sand molding line and the no-bake floor molding line shall each not be operated more than 7,000 hours in any 12 consecutive month period.
7. The total combined VOC emissions from the core making operation shall not exceed 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
8. Records shall be maintained of the amount of steel processed by the refiner plate molding line, green sand molding line and no-bake floor molding line each month, the number of hours the refiner plate molding line, green sand molding line and no-bake floor molding line are operated each month and the amount of binders/resins used in the core making operation each month. All records, as well as all records pertaining to the calculation of the monthly VOC emission rate from the refiner plate molding line, green sand molding line, no-bake floor molding line and core making operation, shall be retained for at least 5 years and made available to the Department upon request.
