LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
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 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. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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 the 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 a 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.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department intends to issue a plan approval which will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into a State-only operating permit at a later date.
Issuance of the plan approval is recommended with the appropriate conditions in the plan approval:
1. The source shall comply with 25 Pa. Code § 123.1. All reasonable actions shall be taken to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne. These actions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Water spray dust suppression systems on portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants shall be operated on any and all occasions that the respective plant is operated. Operation without simultaneous operation of the water spray dust suppression system can take place only in those unusual instances where processed materials contain sufficient moisture so as not to create air contaminant emissions in excess of the limitations and standards of this permit. If, however, the water spray dust suppression system is incapable of operation due to weather conditions or any other reason, the permittee may not operate the plant.
a) Wetting the stock piled material as necessary.
b) Application of asphalt, water or suitable chemicals on dirt roads, material stockpiles and other surfaces which may give rise to airborne dust.
c) Maintain all roads to keep fugitive emissions to the minimum.
2. The permittee shall ensure prompt removal of earth or other material from paved streets onto which earth or other material has been transported by trucking or earth moving equipment, erosions by water or other means.
3. The company shall maintain a log of the following:
i. Date and time dust suppressant was applied.
ii. Date and time entrance road was swept.
iii. The log shall be maintained onsite and made available to Department personnel upon request. At least 5 years of records shall be maintained in the log.
4. The permittee shall keep on-hand equipment and materials as are necessary to take reasonable action (including, but not limited to, the application of water, oil or chemicals) to prevent fugitive particulate matter resulting from the use of any roadways and/or material stockpiling operations associated with the plant from becoming airborne and shall be used, as necessary, to prevent fugitive particulate matter from becoming airborne.
5. The rock crushing operation will operate a maximum of 12 hours per day, 6 days a week for a total of 2,760 hours during any 12 consecutive months.
6. Hours of operation shall be recorded daily and a rolling 12-month total determined monthly. The records shall be kept on file for 5 years and made available to the Department personnel upon request.
7. The crushing operation shall not exceed 250 tons of material per hour. The company shall maintain records of hourly production rates. The records shall be kept on file for 5 years and shall be made available to the Department personnel upon request.
8. There will be no crushing and/or screening performed during subfreezing temperatures, unless an antifreeze product approved by the Department is used.
9. The company shall perform upwind and downwind dustfall monitoring if so requested by the Department. Monitoring shall start within 30 days of at the maximum rated capacity as stated on the application.
10. This facility shall comply with Federal NSPS regulations, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO--Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plant.
11. 40 CFR 60.4 requires submission of copies of all requests, reports, applications, submittals and other communications to both the EPA and the Department. The EPA copies shall be forwarded to Director, Air, Toxics and Radiation Division, US EPA, Region III, 1650 Arch St., Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029.
12. Air pollutant emissions from the diesel engine (Caterpillar, Model 3406 DI) shall not exceed the following limitations (based on full load and the rated horsepower of the engine):
Criteria
Pollutants
