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.

47-00001A: PPL Montour LLC (P. O. Box 128, Washingtonville, PA 17884) for installation of air cleaning devices and sodium sulfite flue gas injection systems on two bituminous coal-fired electric utility boilers (units 1 and 2) at their Montour Steam Electric Station near Washingtonville in Derry Township, Montour County.
The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit No. 47-00001 has been issued.
The proposed sodium sulfite flue gas injection systems will be used to lower the sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid concentrations in the exhaust of the two electric utility boilers which, in turn, is expected to result in an improvement in the boilers' visible air contaminant emissions, particularly during the May through September time period. The magnitude of the resultant annual decrease in sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid emissions is unknown. The degree of improvement in the boilers' visible air contaminant emissions is also unknown but it is believed that the use of the respective sodium sulfite flue gas injection systems will help ensure compliance with the visible air contaminant emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41 on a consistent basis.
The Department's review of the information submitted by PPL Montour LLC indicates that the respective boilers will meet all applicable air quality regulations pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the proposed sodium sulfite flue gas injection systems. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the injection systems.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The sodium sulfite flue gas injection system associated with a boiler shall be operated at any time that the selective catalytic reduction system associated with that boiler is also being operated.
2. When the selective catalytic reduction system associated with a boiler is not being used, the operation of the sodium sulfite flue gas injection system associated with that boiler shall be at the discretion of PPL Montour LLC.
3. Each sodium sulfite flue gas injection system shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the sodium sulfite solution flow rate in the supply line to each injection lance as well as the pressure existing in the supply line to each injection lance.
4. On any occasion that a sodium sulfite flue gas injection system is in use, the sodium sulfite solution flow rate and pressure existing in the supply line to each injection lance shall be recorded at least once per 8-hour operating shift. All records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

Emissions from the facility have been estimated at 75 tons of NOx per year, 248 tons of CO per year and 53 tons of NMOCs per year. The facility is subject to the operational, monitoring, recordkeeping, testing and reporting requirements required by 40 CFR 60, Subpart WWW and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127. The Plan Approval has been conditioned accordingly. Copies of the Plan Approval application, the Department's analysis and the proposed Plan Approval are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following address. This is a Title V Facility.
Persons who wish to oppose the plan approval may file a written protest. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of protests. Written protests must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person filing the protest, identification of proposed Plan Approval PA-65-767A and a concise statement of the objections to the Plan Approval issuance and relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting written protests or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines notification by telephone is sufficient. Written comments or request for a public hearing should be sent to Barbara Hatch, Air Pollution Control Engineer, Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4000.
