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 section's 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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Contact: David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
18-0007A: Brodart Company (500 Arch Street, Williamsport, PA 17705) for the construction of a wood furniture finishing operation in the company's existing McElhattan facility located in the Clinton County Industrial Park in Wayne Township, Clinton County. The McElhattan facility is currently a minor facility operating under Operating Permit OP-18-0007 but will become a major facility for both VOCs and HAPs and will consequently become subject to the Department's Title V operating permit requirements, if plan approval is issued and the respective wood furniture finishing operation is constructed.
The wood furniture finishing operation which Brodart Company proposes to construct will be comprised of four finishing lines, incorporating a total of four spray booths and three infrared drying ovens, which will be used to apply VOCs and HAPs-containing finishing or coating materials to wood furniture. The respective wood furniture finishing operation will emit up to 49.0 tons of VOCs, 9.99 tons of any individual HAP (subject to additional restrictions as specified as follows) and 24.99 tons of all HAPs combined in any 12 consecutive month period. These values are not additive as most of the HAPs are also VOCs nor will the wood furniture finishing operation be able to emit up to 9.99 tons of any conceivable individual HAP due to restrictions being placed on the emission of certain specific HAPs under the prohibition of air pollution provision of 25 Pa. Code § 121.7. These additional restrictions are specified in the following proposed plan approval conditions.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed wood furniture finishing operation will comply will all applicable 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 and the prohibition of air pollution provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 121.7. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed wood furniture finishing operation.
Because the McElhattan facility will become a major VOC emitting facility if plan approval is issued and the proposed wood furniture finishing operation is constructed, certain minor VOC emitting sources which existed at the facility prior to July 15, 1994, and which still exist at the facility, will become subject to the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. The respective sources are a 2.6 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired oven, a 2.5 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired oven, a 2.5 million Btu per hour natural gas/no. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, a 15 kW natural gas-fired emergency generator, gluing operations and several miscellaneous combustion sources (space heaters, water heaters, and the like).
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve Brodart Company's RACT plan for these sources as well as an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the Department's approval of the RACT plan. This preliminary RACT determination, if approved, will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for the respective minor sources which the Department proposes to place in the plan approval it intends to issue for the proposed wood furniture finishing operation:
The total combined VOC emissions from the 2.6 million Btu per hour De Burg natural gas-fired oven, the 2.5 million Btu per hour North American natural gas-fired oven, the 2.5 million Btu per hour Weil McLain natural gas/no. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, the 15 kW Kohler natural gas-fired emergency generator, the gluing operations and miscellaneous combustion sources (space heaters, water heaters, and the like) shall not exceed 2.70 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
The 15 kW natural gas-fired emergency generator shall not be operated more than 500 hours in any 12 consecutive month period. Records shall be maintained of the number of hours the generator is operated each month.
The only glues or adhesives which shall be used in the gluing operations shall be ''Multibond 2000'' and ''Assembly 70A'' (or other water-based glues or adhesives determined by the Department to have an equivalent VOC content).
The following is a summary of the remaining conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval it intends to issue for the proposed wood furniture finishing operation to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements (other than the RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129a.95):
1. The particulate matter concentration of the exhaust from each of the four spray booths shall not exceed .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot.
2. The spray booths shall be equipped with filters as well as instrumentation to continuously monitor the differential pressure across the filters.
3. The VOC content of any spray stains used in the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 6.8 pounds per gallon of coating, minus water and exempt solvents, as applied.
4. The VOC content of any wiping stains used in the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 6.4 pounds per gallon of coating, minus water and exempt solvents, as applied.
5. The new wood furniture finishing operation shall employ UV coatings wherever practical, as determined by the Department.
6. Hand application with a rag or brush or the use of high volume low pressure spray technology shall be the only means of applying the coatings or finishing materials used in the new wood furniture finishing operation unless prior approval has been granted by the Department to utilize an alternate technology.
7. The total combined emission from the entire facility of each individual HAP listed shall not exceed the limitation specified for that pollutant:
Tons (in any 12 consecutive Pollutant month period)
Toluene 19.80 Xylene 19.80 Methanol 19.80 Methyl isobutyl ketone 19.80 Methyl ethyl ketone 19.80 Ethyl benzene 19.80 Formaldehyde 0.60 Cumene 19.80 Dibutyl phthalate 7.20 Acrylic acid 8.65 Aniline 11.00 Cobalt compounds* 2.90 Diethanolamine 2.95 Ethylene glycol 19.80 Ethylene oxide 2.20 Butyl cellosolve 19.80 Hexane 19.80 Maleic anhydride 0.55 Manganese compounds* 19.80 Naphthalene 19.25 Phenol 19.80 Propylene oxide 6.95 Styrene 19.80 Triethylamine 3.00 Vinyl acetate 12.90 * The previous limitations for cobalt and manganese compounds assume that the dry filters associated with the spray booths will capture 99% of these HAPs. Therefore, the previous limitations represent the emissions from the stack after control.
Additionally, the total combined emission of any individual HAP from the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 9.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period (unless restricted further by a limitation listed previously), the total combined emission of any individual HAP from the remainder of the facility shall not exceed 9.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period (unless restricted further by a limitation listed previously), the total combined emission of all HAPs from the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 24.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and the total combined emission of all HAPs from the remainder of the facility shall not exceed 24.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. Under no circumstances shall any HAP, other than those specifically listed, ever be emitted from the new wood furniture finishing operation or from the remainder of the facility, without approval having first been obtained from the Department to do so.
8. Acetone shall be the only solvent used for cleanup and washoff activities in, or associated with, the new wood furniture finishing operation.
9. The total combined amount of acetone contained in coatings and coating additives and used for cleanup and washoff activities in, or associated with, the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 6,000 gallons in any 12 consecutive month period.
10. Solvent used for spray line cleaning shall be flushed into closed containers; under no circumstance shall cleanup solvent be removed from spray lines by spray through a spray gun. Containers of cleanup solvents shall be kept closed when not in actual use and all solvent-wet rags, and the like, shall be stored in closed containers when not in actual use. Under no circumstance shall waste solvent be disposed of via evaporation or solvent-wet rags, and the like, be treated or pretreated prior to disposal or reuse by subjecting them to air drying or any other means of solvent removal which unnecessarily cause solvent to be evaporated into the air.
11. The total combined VOC emissions from the new wood furniture finishing operation shall not exceed 49.00 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
12. The total combined VOC emissions from the remainder of the facility shall not exceed 49.99 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
13. Wood furniture finishing operations at the facility, regardless of whether they are new or currently existing, shall comply with all of the wood furniture manufacturing operation provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.101--129.107, as well as the surface coating process provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52, where applicable.
14. Wood furniture finishing operations at this facility shall comply with Subpart JJ of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.800--63.808 (National Emission Standards for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations) in accordance with the schedule specified therein.
15. The permittee shall maintain accurate and comprehensive records of the following:
* Product composition sheets for all coatings and coating additives used any where in the facility which list the amount of VOCs, the amount of each individual HAP and the amount of acetone contained in each of the coatings and coating additives. These shall be used to demonstrate compliance with all applicable emission limitations and finishing material or coating VOC content limitations.
* The amount of each individual coating and coating additive used each month in the new wood furniture finishing operation.
* The amount of each individual coating and coating additive used each month in the remainder of the facility.

18-0007A: Brodart Company (500 Arch Street, Williamsport, PA 17705) has submitted an application (18-0007A) to the Department for plan approval to construct a wood furniture finishing operation in the company's existing McElhattan facility located in the Clinton County Industrial Park in Wayne Township, Clinton County. The McElhattan facility is currently a minor facility operating under Operating Permit OP-18-0007 but will become a major VOC emitting facility if plan approval is issued and the respective wood furniture finishing operation is constructed.
Because the McElhattan facility will be a major VOC emitting facility, certain minor VOC emitting sources which existed at the facility prior to July 15, 1994, and which still exist at the facility, will become subject to the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. The respective sources are a 2.6 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired oven, a 2.5 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired oven, a 2.5 million Btu per hour natural gas/no. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, a 15 kW natural gas-fired emergency generator, gluing operations and several miscellaneous combustion sources (space heaters, water heaters, and the like).
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve Brodart Company's RACT plan for these sources as well as an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the Department's approval of the RACT plan. This preliminary RACT determination, if approved, will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for the respective minor sources which the Department proposes to place in the plan approval it intends to issue for the proposed wood furniture finishing operation:
* The total combined VOC emissions from the 2.6 million Btu per hour De Burg natural gas-fired oven, the 2.5 million Btu per hour North American natural gas-fired oven, the 2.5 million Btu per hour Weil McLain natural gas/no. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, the 15 kW Kohler natural gas-fired emergency generator, the gluing operations and miscellaneous combustion sources (space heaters, water heaters, and the like) shall not exceed 2.70 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
* The 15 kW natural gas-fired emergency generator shall not be operated more then 500 hours in any 12 consecutive month period. Records shall be maintained of the number of hours the generator is operated each month.
* The only glues or adhesives which shall be used in the gluing operations shall be ''Multibond 2000'' and ''Assembly 70A'' (or other water-based glues or adhesives determined by the Department to have an equivalent VOC content).
A copy of the plan approval application, including the RACT plan, is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following address. Persons interested in inspecting this material must schedule an appointment in advance by calling (570) 327-3693.

12-399-016: Micron Research Corp. (P. O. Box 269, Emporium, PA 15834) for operation of a carbon graphite manufacturing operation in Shippen Township, Cameron County.
The carbon graphite manufacturing operation consists of a mixer, a carbon bake furnace, three graphitizing furnaces and various crushing, milling, screening, and the like, operations. This equipment is used to produce fine grained graphite shapes. The air contaminant emissions from the mixer are controlled by a cartridge collector and an activated carbon filter operating in series, the air contaminant emissions from the bake furnace are controlled by a thermal afterburner and the air contaminant emissions from each of the graphitizing furnaces is controlled by a full diameter hood incorporating a carbon pack. The carbon graphite manufacturing operation, as controlled, could potentially emit up to 3.5 tons of nitrogen oxides and 10.25 tons of sulfur oxides per year along with a negligible amount of particulate matter.
The Department has determined that the carbon graphite manufacturing operation has been constructed and is operating, in accordance with all conditions of Plan Approval 12-399-016 as well as in compliance 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 an operating permit for the operation of the respective carbon graphite manufacturing operation.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the operating permit to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The mix temperature in the mixer shall never exceed the temperature specified in the plan approval application. Additionally, the mixer shall remain closed except when empty or when adding or removing materials.
2. The particulate matter emissions from the air pollution control system associated with the mixer shall not exceed .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot and the visible air contaminant emissions shall not exceed 0% opacity (except for steam or water vapor). Additionally, there shall be no fugitive air contaminant emissions which escape capture by the air pollution control system.
3. The thermal afterburner shall incorporate a natural gas-fired burner sized no smaller than 1.48 million Btu per hour. For each occasion of bake furnace operation, a temperature of 1,550°F shall be achieved prior to the initiation of operation and shall thereafter be maintained throughout the furnace operating cycle except that the afterburner need not be used once the bake portion of the cycle has been completed provided no visible air contaminants (other than steam or water vapor) or malodorous air contaminants are emitted.
4. The thermal afterburner shall be equipped with a continuous afterburner outlet temperature monitoring and recording system. Records generated by this system shall be retained for at least 5 years.
5. The particulate matter emissions from the thermal afterburner shall not exceed .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot, the visible air contaminant emissions shall not exceed 0% opacity (except for steam or water vapor), the sulfur oxides emissions shall not exceed 500 parts per million (dry volume basis) and the NOx emissions shall not exceed .798 pound per hour.
6. The particulate matter emissions from the air pollution control system associated with the graphitizing furnaces shall not exceed .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot, the visible air contaminant emissions shall not exceed 0% opacity (except for steam or water vapor) and the sulfur oxides emissions shall not exceed 500 parts per million (dry volume basis).
7. The sulfur content of the mixed material placed into the bake furnace shall not exceed a maximum of 4% (by weight).
