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.

41-310-001H: Hanson Aggregates Pennsylvania, Inc. (2200 Springfield Pike, Connellsville, PA 15425) for construction of an impact crusher in a limestone crushing and screening plant at the Pine Creek Quarry in Limestone Township, Lycoming County.
The proposed crusher will replace an existing cone crusher. The emission of fugitive particulate matter from the new crusher will be prevented/controlled by the processing of prewetted stone and by two water spray dust suppression system spray nozzles at the discharge of the crusher. The resultant fugitive air contaminant emissions are expected to be less than 1 ton per year.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Hanson Aggregates Pennsylvania, Inc. indicates that the proposed crusher will meet all applicable air quality regulations pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed crusher. Additionally, if plan approval is issued and the crusher is subsequently determined by the Department to have been constructed in accordance with the conditions of the plan approval as well as all applicable regulatory requirements, the conditions of the plan approval will be incorporated into Operating Permit 41-310-001F through administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place into the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. The impact crusher shall only process stone which has been prewetted in other process equipment in the existing facility.
2. The impact crusher shall be equipped with two water spray dust suppression system spray nozzles at the discharge of the crusher. More nozzles may be installed without obtaining Department approval but the two required herein may not be omitted or removed.
3. The water supply system for the two water spray dust suppression system spray nozzles at the crusher discharge shall be equipped with a filter to filter out particles which might clog the spray nozzles.
4. The two water spray dust suppression system spray nozzles at the crusher discharge shall be operated on any and all occasions that the crusher is operated except in those instances where conditions are so that the operation of the crusher without the concurrent operation of the spray nozzles can take place without creating air contaminant emissions in excess of the limitations specified in, or established under, any applicable Department rule or regulation. If, however, the spray nozzles are incapable of operation, due to weather conditions or any other reason, the crusher may not be operated.
