   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.

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.

   3.  No more than a combined total of 800 gallons of acetone and VOC containing solvent shall be used in any 12-consecutive month period for cleanup activities associated with the surface coating operation and the flash off oven, of which no more than 400 gallons in any 12-consecutive month period shall be VOC containing solvent. Volatile hazardous air pollutant containing solvent shall not be used for cleanup activities.

   4.  Solvent B-27 and Drawsol 100 (or alternate materials determined by the Department to have an equivalent air contaminant emission potential) shall be the only stamping lubricants used in the punching process associated with the flash off oven. Additionally, no more than 694 gallons of Solvent B-27 (or alternate material determined by the Department to have an equivalent air contaminant emission potential) shall be used in any 12-consecutive month period and Drawsol 100 shall be removed with wiping rags from all metal parts prior to the parts entry into the flash off oven.

   5.  The total combined emission of VOCs from the surface coating operation and the flash off oven shall not exceed 9.17 tons in any 12-consecutive month period excluding any volatile organic compound emissions resulting from the use of cleanup solvents and any volatile organic compound emissions created from the combustion of natural gas in the curing and flash off ovens.

   6.  The total combined emission of volatile hazardous air pollutants from the surface coating operation and flash off oven shall not exceed .76 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.

   7.  The total combined VOC emissions from cleanup activities associated with the surface coating operation and flash off oven shall not exceed 1.5 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and there shall be no volatile hazardous air pollutant emissions.

   8.  Coatings applied in the surface coating operation shall comply with 25 Pa. Code § 129.52.

   9.  Coatings applied in the surface coating operation shall be applied by airless, air-assisted airless or high volume low pressure spray or by brush or by wiping cloth.

   10.  The two paint booths shall be equipped with spray booth filters and the resultant particulate matter emission rate shall not exceed .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent exhaust.

   11.  Containers of coatings, coating additives, stamping lubricants and cleanup solvents shall be closed when not in actual use. Spray lines, guns, and the like, shall be cleaned by either flushing a solid liquid stream of solvent into a container or by soaking equipment in closed containers. Under no circumstances shall solvent be atomized while flushing lines.

   12.  Records shall be kept of the identity, composition and amount of each coating, coating additive, stamping lubricant and cleanup solvent used in the surface coating operation and punching operation associated with the flash off oven each month.
