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 before 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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department intends to issue a plan approval to construct a dust collection system to capture particulate emissions from scrap metal operations in the City of New Castle, Lawrence County. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into a State-only operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Issuance of the plan approval is recommended with the appropriate conditions in the plan approval:
1. The scrap cutting operations shall comply with 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1, 123.31 and 123.41 for fugitive, odor and visible emissions, respectively.
2. Particulate emissions from the collector shall not exceed 0.02 grain/dscf.
3. Scrap cutting operations shall only take place within the confines of the hood and when the control device is operating. A person may not cause or permit the operation of this source in a manner inconsistent with good operating practices.
4. Until the Consent Decree between the Department and Barletto, that was approved by the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania on November 14, 2003, is terminated under the terms of the Consent Decree, all scrap cutting operations at the facility shall be done only between 6 a.m. and the later of 6 p.m. or dusk as outlined in the Corrective Action of the Consent Decree. After the Consent Decree is terminated, the hours of operations shall not be restricted.
5. If scrap cutting is allowing fugitive emissions for any reason, scrap cutting operations shall be modified immediately to eliminate fugitive emissions or suspended.
6. Only one torch can be used at a time to cut scrap.
7. The applicant shall install magnehelic gauge (or equivalent) at conveniently readable location and maintain the gauge to indicate the pressure drop across the collector.

8. Whenever a condition in this permit requires the measurement of pressure drop across any part of the unit or its control device, the gauge employed shall have a scale so that the expected normal reading shall be no less than 20% of full scale.
9. The operating range for pressure drops of the dust collector shall be determined within 30 days of startup of the control device and shall be indicated to the Department in writing.
10. A person may not cause or permit the operation of this source in a manner inconsistent with good operating practices. If scrap cutting is allowing fugitive emissions for any reason, scrap cutting operations shall be modified immediately to eliminate fugitive emissions or suspended.
11. The facility shall maintain sufficient replacement cartridges, defined as 20%, for the dust collection system onsite, or shall have immediate access to spare cartridges in the event of failure.
