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.
The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

AIR QUALITY
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.

The coal stockpiling and truck loading operation will process up to 700,000 tons per year of coal from an underground mine. Air contaminant emission control will be provided by the inherent moisture content of the coal, the use of a water truck, the use of partial conveyor covers and a screen enclosure, the use of a stacking tube and the implementation of various work practices (truck tarping, vehicle speed limits, minimizing the front end loader bucket-to-truck bed freefall height, and the like).
The Department's review of the information submitted by Parkwood Resources, Inc. indicates that the respective coal stockpiling and truck loading operation 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 and 123.2, the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart Y of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.250--60.254. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the coal stockpiling and truck loading operation.
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 facility shall not process more than 700,000 tons of coal in any 12 consecutive month period.
2. An operable water truck equipped with a pressurized spray bar and a pressurized spray nozzle or hose connection shall be kept onsite at all times and shall be used, as needed, for the control of fugitive dust emissions from plant roadways, stockpile areas, and the like.
3. The facility's screen shall be completely enclosed except for the coal entrance and exit points.
4. All aboveground conveyors shall be partially or fully enclosed.
5. All 0-inch to 2-inch coal from the screen shall be placed onto the 0-inch to 2-inch stockpile through a stacking tube.
6. All trucks entering or exiting the site through a public roadway shall have their truck beds completely tarped or otherwise covered unless empty.
7. The entrance road and internal plant roadways shall have posted speed limits of 10 miles per hour.
8. The facility's entrance roadway shall be paved.
9. Front end loader bucket-to-truck bed height shall be kept to a minimum during all truck loading.
10. This plan approval does not authorize the construction, installation or operation of any gasoline, natural gas, propane or diesel-fired stationary engines, generators or engine-generator sets.
11. Records shall be maintained of the number of tons of coal loaded out each month. Records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
