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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Richard Maxwell, New Source Review Chief, (570) 327-3637.
59-00004C: Ward Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 9, Blossburg, PA 16912) for installation of an air cleaning device, a fabric collector, on an iron melting cupola at the company's foundry facility on Gulick Street in Blossburg Borough, Tioga County.
The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 59-00004 has been issued.
The proposed fabric collector will replace an existing scrubber. It is expected that the installation of the fabric collector will significantly reduce the cupola's emission of PM and lead from the levels now existing. The emission of SOx from the cupola is, however, expected to increase by as much as 11.09 tons per year.
Ward Manufacturing has additionally requested plan approval to transfer the control of PM emissions created by a material transfer point in the facility's casting shakeout and sand handling system from one existing fabric collector to another. No change in the type or quantity of air contaminant emissions will occur as a result of this transfer.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Ward Manufacturing indicates that following the installation of the fabric collector, the cupola will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the PM emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the SOx emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 and the visible air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. Additionally, it is expected that the fabric collector will allow the cupola to comply with the requirements of Subpart EEEE of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories, 40 CFR 63.7680--63.7765, when Ward Manufacturing is required to do so on April 23, 2007.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Ward Manufacturing also indicates that following the transfer of control of the PM emitted from the material transfer point previously discussed from one existing fabric collector to another, the respective material transfer point will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the PM emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Based on the previous findings, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the installation of the proposed fabric collector, the ''modification'' of the cupola caused by the resultant increase in SOx emissions and the transfer of air contaminant emission control of the material transfer point from one fabric collector to another. Additionally, if the Department determines that the cupola is operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements following the installation of the fabric collector and the material transfer point is doing the same following the transfer of PM emission control from one existing fabric collector to another, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 59-00004 through administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
