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.

17-303-003B: Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. (711 East College Avenue, Bellefonte, PA 16823) for construction of a recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) crusher and two associated screens, three associated conveyors, one associated feeder and one associated bin, the construction of a 2,000-gallon oil storage tank and a 25,000-gallon oil storage tank and the modification of a drum mix asphalt concrete plant in Sandy Township, Clearfield County. The modification is the proposed use of virgin no. 5 fuel oil, virgin no. 6 fuel oil and reprocessed/recycled oil as fuel in the asphalt concrete plant's drum burner in addition to the gas (natural or LP) and virgin no. 2 fuel oil which the plant is currently allowed to burn.
Fugitive particulate matter emissions from the plant's RAP crushing system are projected by the applicant to be no greater than 10.51 tons in any 12 consecutive month period but are actually expected by the Department to be much less than this. The VOC emissions from the two oil storage tanks are expected to be negligible. The asphalt concrete plant will emit no more than 16.5 pounds of NOx, 39.0 pounds of CO, 43.95 pounds of SOx and 21.6 pounds of VOCs when firing no. 5 fuel oil, no. 6 fuel oil or reprocessed/recycled oil nor will the fabric collector used for the control of PM emissions from the plant emit more than .04 grain of particulate matter per dry standard cubic foot of collector exhaust. The total combined HAP emissions from the asphalt plant are not expected to exceed 6.75 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and the formaldehyde and toluene emissions are not expected to exceed 2.09 and 1.96 tons, respectively, in the same period.
Following the completion of the proposed construction and modification, the entire facility will not emit more than 37.84 tons of NOx, 88.35 tons of CO, 99.59 tons of SOx, 29.84 tons of VOCs and 56.85 tons of PM, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
The Department has determined that the proposed construction and modification will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department consequently intends to issue a plan approval.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department plans to place to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The asphalt plant shall only be fired on gas (natural or LP), virgin no. 2 fuel oil, virgin no. 5 fuel oil, virgin no. 6 fuel oil or reprocessed/recycled oil.
2. The sulfur content of the virgin no. 5 fuel oil, virgin no. 6 fuel oil and reprocessed/recycled oil shall not exceed .5% (by weight).
3. The reprocessed/recycled oil used as fuel in the asphalt plant shall not contain contaminants equal to or in excess of the following limitations:
Contaminant Limitation Arsenic 5 parts per million Cadmium 2 parts per million Chromium 10 parts per million Lead 100 parts per million Total halides 1,000 parts per million Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) None detected (detection limit no higher than two parts per million) Additionally, the flashpoint of the reprocessed/recycled oil shall not be less than 140°F.
4. The permittee shall not accept for use in the asphalt plant any shipment of reprocessed/recycled oil for which the arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, total halide and PCB content and/or flashpoint are unknown, or which fails to meet any established limitation for any of these, nor shall the permittee accept for use any shipment of any oil to be used as fuel for which the sulfur content is unknown, or which fails to meet the limitation established herein for sulfur content. Additionally, the permittee shall not accept any shipment of virgin no. 5 or virgin no. 6 fuel oil to which reprocessed/recycled oil has been added unless the shipment is treated as reprocessed/recycled oil with respect to all applicable conditions of this plan approval nor shall the permittee accept any shipment of virgin no. 5 or virgin no. 6 fuel oil to which waste oil or other waste materials have been added nor shall the permittee add any waste oil or other waste materials to any fuel storage tank.
5. A sample of each load of reprocessed/recycled oil delivered to the asphalt plant shall be taken at the time of delivery to the plant using a sampling technique capable of achieving a representative composite sample of the entire load and shall be retained onsite for at least 2 years for random selection and analysis by the Department. The samples are to be sealed and identified as to the date of delivery, delivery invoice number, and the like.
6.
