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.

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 may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

41-313-011C: Lonza, Inc. (3500 Trenton Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701) for installation of an alternate air cleaning device on an existing preservative manufacturing process (Glydant process) in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The Glydant process emits formaldehyde which is a hazardous air pollutant. These emissions are currently controlled by several small packed bed scrubbers. Lonza proposes to replace these small scrubbers with a single larger packed bed scrubber. The resultant formaldehyde emissions following the installation of the larger scrubber will be approximately .5 ton per year which is believed to be equivalent to the current formaldehyde emission rate from the process.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by Lonza, Incorporated indicates that the Glydant process will comply with all Air Quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the larger scrubber. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the installation of the respective scrubber.
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 formaldehyde emissions from the Glydant process, including those from the associated 10,000 gallon formaldehyde solution storage tank (T503), shall be controlled by the packed bed scrubber at all times.
2. The total combined formaldehyde emissions from the Glydant process shall not exceed .5 ton in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. The formaldehyde concentration in the recirculating scrubber water shall not be allowed to exceed .02%, by weight, at any time. Additionally, the recirculating scrubber water shall be replaced with fresh water no less frequently than once per month regardless of formaldehyde concentration. The date of each occasion of scrubber water replacement shall be recorded and these records shall be made available to the Department upon request.
4. The formaldehyde concentration in the recirculating scrubber water shall be determined no less frequently than once every 8 hours the scrubber operates. The date, time and results of each such determination shall be recorded and these records shall be made available to the Department upon request.
5. The scrubber shall not be operated at any time it is not needed for air contaminant emission control.
6. The concentration of formaldehyde outside of storage tank T503 shall be continuously monitored and shall not exceed 20 parts per million at any time. The permittee shall report any exceedance of the 20 part per million limit to the Department.
7. The liquid solution height in storage tank T503 shall be continuously monitored and shall not exceed 17 feet at any time. The permittee shall report any exceedance of the 17 foot limit to the Department.
8. The temperature in storage tank T503 shall be continuously monitored and shall not exceed 58° degrees C at any time. The permittee shall report any exceedance of the 58° C limit to the Department.
9. The air contaminant emissions from the manufacture of Natrulon HT shall also be controlled by the scrubber.
10. Within 180 days of the completion of installation of the scrubber, the permittee shall have simultaneous formaldehyde stack testing performed on the inlet and outlet of the scrubber. This testing shall be performed when the formaldehyde concentration in the recirculating scrubber water is as high as it will ever be allowed to go.
