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.

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.

The PM emissions from the proposed boilers will be controlled by two centrifugal collectors, one per boiler. The air contaminant emissions from the boilers are not expected to exceed 91.58 tons of SOx, 15.27 tons of PM including PM10, 9.92 tons of NOx, 4.66 tons of CO and .92 ton of VOCs per year.
The facility in which the boilers will be located is not currently a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Wirerope Works, Inc. indicates that the proposed boilers should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the applicable requirements of Subpart Dc of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.40c--60.48c (Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units), and the best available technology requirement 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 boilers.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. The boilers shall only be fired on anthracite coal with a maximum sulfur content of .77% by weight (as received). The anthracite coal shall not contain any reclaimed oil, waste oil or other waste materials.
2. No more than a combined total of 6,105.6 tons of coal shall be fired in the boilers in any 12-consecutive month period.
3. Each boiler shall be equipped with a Breslove Model H-1-2RR regenerative collector to control PM emissions.
4. The PM emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .2 pound per million Btu of heat input and the total combined emission of PM from both boilers shall not exceed 15.27 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
5. The visible air contaminant emissions from each boiler shall not equal or exceed 10% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour or equal or exceed 30% opacity at any time.
6. The SOx (expressed as SO2) emissions from each boiler shall not exceed 1.2 pounds per million Btu of heat input and the total combined SOx emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 91.58 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
7. The NOx (expressed as NO2) emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .13 pound per million Btu of heat input and the total combined NOx emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 9.92 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
8. The CO emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .061 pound per million Btu of heat input and the total combined CO emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 4.66 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
9. The VOC emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .012 pound per million Btu of heat input then the total combined VOC emissions from both boilers shall not exceed .92 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.
10. Each of the Breslove collectors shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the pressure differential across the collector on a continuous basis.
11. The ash removal valves located at the bottom of the Breslove collectors' ash hoppers shall be kept closed except when accumulated ash is being removed from the hoppers. Ash shall be removed from the hoppers frequently enough to ensure that ash does not build up in the hoppers and interfere with proper collector performance and/or become reentrained in the gas stream flowing through the collector.
12. Within 180 days of commencement of operation of each of the boilers, the permittee shall perform stack testing on the respective boiler to determine the PM, NOx and CO emission rates from the boiler while it is operating at full load.
13. For each separate load of coal delivered to the facility for use in the boilers, the permittee shall obtain from the coal supplier a fuel certification report which contains the following information:
a. The date of delivery and the name of the supplier.
b. The results of analyses performed on the coal for sulfur content, ash content, moisture content and heat content.
c. The location of the coal when the sample was collected for the performance of the analyses listed previously.
d. Identification of the specific analytical methods used to perform the analyses listed previously.
If the coal supplier does not provide a fuel certification report for a load which contains all of this required information, the permittee shall not accept delivery of the load nor shall the permittee accept delivery of the load if the coal supplier provides a fuel certification report for the load which shows that the sulfur content of the load is in excess of .77% by weight (as received).
All data generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request. Additionally, the permittee shall submit a report to the Department semiannually.
14. The permittee shall maintain records of the amount of coal burned in each of the two boilers during each day. All data generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request. Additionally, the permittee shall submit a report to the Department semiannually.
