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.

45-302-076: Sanofi Pasteur, Inc. (Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370) for installation and operation of two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil fired Johnston boilers (Nos. 11 and 12) at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Plan Approval Nos. 45-302-076, 45-399-016 and 45-329-001 to Sanofi Pasteur, Inc, Discovery Drive, Swiftwater, PA 18370 for their facility in Pocono Township, Monroe County. These plan approvals will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit No. 45-00005 through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan approval No. 45-302-076 is for the installation and operation of two natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil fired Johnston boilers (Nos. 11 and 12) at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The designed rated heat input to boiler Nos. 11 and 12 will be 30.98 mmBtu/hr for No. 2 oil and 32.3 mmBtu/hr for natural gas. Each boiler will fire No. 2 fuel oil as a primary fuel and natural gas as a backup and using a forced draft low NOX burner with internal flue gas recirculation. Also the company will convert three existing boilers, boilers 1--3 from No. 6 fuel oil to No. 2 fuel oil with low NOx burners and internal flue gas recirculation (IFGR). One additional fuel oil storage tank is also proposed.
The following emission limitations are set for each new boiler.
NOx emissions-- From BAT, 30 PPM @ 3% O2 when firing with natural gas.
90 PPM @ 3% O2 when firing with No. 2 fuel oil.CO emission-- From BAT, 100 PPM at 3% O2.
Plan Approval No. 45-399-016 is for the installation and operation of Influenza Vaccine Manufacturing Process equipment at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The influenza vaccine manufacturing process uses eggs. The eggs are inoculated with influenza virus, incubated and refrigerated and processed through various steps to produce vaccine products. The eggs residue from the vaccine production area is processed through jacked ribbon blender and dryer. The dried egg waste is packed and sent off site for disposal. The egg waste processing area is expected to generate certain odorous, predominantly sulfur-bearing compounds and minor amount of VOCs. Waste processing area hood, the ribbon blander and dryer will be exhausted through a thermal oxidizer to destroy malodors. The largest quantities of VOC emissions results from alcohol used to wipe surfaces for the disinfections and building wastewater. Only one area in the building handles buffering reagent, which is solids that may create dust. The area will be designed to perform all material handling activities under hoods that will be vented through a cartridge type Torit, or equivalent dust collector.
The following emissions will occur when operating the sources at a maximum rated capacity.
Process VOC PM10 Lb/hr Tons/yr Lb/hr Tons/yr Waste water 0.31 1.37 IPA wipe solvent use 0.22 0.96 Buffer preparation 0.6 2.63 Egg waste processing 0.0061 0.026 0.0044 0.02 Plan approval No. 45-329-001 is for the installation and operation of three diesel or No. 2 fuel oil fired emergency generators with internal combustion engines at the existing facility located in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The generators will ensure that production in progress and stored product are not lost in the event of a power failure. Presently two of three generators are operating under a general permit and one emergency generator installed and operates under minor source exemption. This plan approval request that the existing three generators increase potential operation from 100 to 500 hours per year for operational flexibility.
The company has chosen a voluntary limitation for operation of each generator set to 500 hours per year based on 12-month rolling sum. The following emissions will occur from emergency generators based on 500 hour/yr operation limitations.
Pollutant Engine F-1 N-7 E-1 G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy G/bhp-hr Lb/hr Tpy PM 0.036 0.29 0.07 0.026 0.17 0.04 0.215 0.52 0.13 NOx 5.05 41.1 10.2 5.39 34.0 8.71 7.17 17.5 4.37 THC 0.10 0.81 0.2 0.11 0.71 0.18 0.25 0.61 0.15 CO 0.410 3.33 0.8 0.29 1.88 0.47 1.34 3.27 0.82 SOx 0.88 7.19 1.8 0.89 5.77 1.44 0.93 2.27 0.57
The facility is located in an area designated as a marginal nonattainment area for 03. The project area is also included in the northeast Ozone Transport Region. The facility is currently a major source for NOx emissions only. The Federally enforceable limit chosen by the company for the NOx emission will keep the proposed emission increase from the facility below the NSR applicability triggering thresholds from the proposed new sources. Thus, the addition of sources will not subject the facility to the provisions of NA NSR for NOx. Emissions of SO2, CO, NOx, TSP, PM10, lead, asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, fluorides, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, total reduced sulfur and reduced sulfur compounds associated with the proposed projects will be below the PSD significant emission rates as the company will maintained the emissions from the entire facility below the PSD PALs level and thus are not subject to PSD review.
Copies of the applications, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the applications are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit should submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the following:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
Identification of the proposed permit Nos.: 45-302-076, 45-399-016 and 45-329-001.

38-03051A: Grace Alloys (200 East Richland Avenue, Myerstown, PA 17067) for installation of a secondary aluminum sweat furnace in Myerstown Borough, Lebanon County. Annual facility emissions are estimated as 1.08 tons for PM, 2.19 tons for NOx and 1.84 tons for CO. The furnace is subject to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart RRR--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary Aluminum Plants. The plan approval and operating permit will include emission restrictions, testing requirements, work practice standards, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure the facility complies with the applicable air quality requirements.
67-03136A: Service Tire Truck Center, Inc. (3403 Concord Road, York, PA 17402) for installation of a truck retreading process in Springettsbury Township, York County.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
18-315-001B: First Quality Tissue, LLC (904 Woods Avenue, Lock Haven, PA 17815) for modification of gluing operations occurring in the converting area of a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility as well as for the reassessment of best available technology and lowest achievable emission rate requirements previously established for an additive, fabric release, used in the paper towel and tissue manufacturing process in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The proposed modification to the gluing operations is a significant increase in the amount of the various adhesives used. This increase will be accompanied by a 6.28 ton per year increase in the emission of VOCs from the gluing operations. This increase is necessitated by a gross underestimation by material suppliers of the permittee's true adhesive needs.
It should be noted that the increase in VOC emissions from the gluing operations will be less than it might otherwise have been due to the proposed use of a lower VOC content transfer glue.
The permittee has also proposed a significant increase in the amount of fabric release additive used in the paper towel and tissue manufacturing process, from 3.88 pounds per ton of product to 20 pounds per ton of product, but has offset the increase in usage by the proposed usage of a lower VOC content fabric release additive so that the net effect will be a decrease of 8.16 tons per year in the emission of VOCs resulting from the use of fabric release additive.
The respective facility is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit has not yet been issued.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed modification to the gluing operations and the increased usage of fabric release additive should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the New Source Review provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval.
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 requirements:
1. Conditions contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by a condition contained in this notice. If there is a conflict between a condition contained herein and a condition contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained herein rather than the conflicting condition contained in Plan Approval 18-315-001.
2. The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed 9.89 pounds per hour while manufacturing paper towel or other heavy stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed 1.09 pounds per hour.
The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper Machine No. 2 shall not exceed 9.89 pounds per hour while manufacturing paper towel or other heavy stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in paper machine No. 2 shall not exceed 1.09 pounds per hour.
3. The total combined emission of VOCs from dryer No. 1 incorporated in paper machine No. 1 shall not exceed 3.60 pounds per hour while manufacturing tissue paper or other light stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 1 shall not exceed .33 pound per hour.
The total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 1 incorporated in Paper machine No. 2 shall not exceed 3.60 pounds per hour while manufacturing tissue paper or other light stock paper products and the total combined emission of VOCs from Dryer No. 2 and the glue containment area incorporated in Paper Machine No. 2 shall not exceed .33 pound per hour.
4. The total combined emission of VOCs from each of the sources listed shall not exceed the respective limitation:
Paper machine No. 1 (includes wet-end, Dryer Nos. 1 and 2, glue containment area and DAF clarifier) 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (except as noted) Paper machine No. 2 (includes wet-end, Dryer Nos. 1 and. 2, glue containment area and DAF clarifier) 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (except as noted) Adhesives 7.05 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (total) Although the VOC emissions from each of the two paper machines may be up to 56.48 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, the total emission of VOCs from both machines combined shall not exceed 89.16 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
5. The VOC content and vapor pressure of the fabric release additive used in this facility shall not exceed .23 pound per gallon and 10 millimeters of mercury at 20°C, respectively. The Department may revise these limitations in response to a request by first quality which includes justification for a change in the fabric release additive used, more accurate quantification of the vapor pressure of the fabric release additive used and documentation of investigation of alternate fabric release additives potentially emitting less VOCs. Prior Department approval is required for the use of an alternate fabric release additive containing HAPs or having a higher VOC content or a higher vapor pressure than the limitations specified in this notice. Substitution of a non-HAP containing fabric release additive having a lower potential to emit VOCs (factoring in both VOC content and vapor pressure) may be made without Department approval. In these instances, notification and supporting documentation must be submitted to the Department within 7 days following the substitution.
6. The total combined amount of VOCs which may be added to the manufacturing process through the use of paper additives shall not exceed 3.13 pounds per ton of paper towel or other heavy stock paper products manufactured and .58 pound per ton of paper tissue or other light stock paper products manufactured. Compliance with these limitations shall be based on a calendar month average.
7. The maximum amount of fabric release additive which may added to the paper products being manufactured shall not exceed 20 pounds per ton of product for the manufacture of both paper towel or other heavy stock paper products and tissue paper or other light stock paper products. Compliance with this limitation shall be based on a calendar month average. The Department may revise this limitation in response to a request by First Quality which includes justification for a change in fabric release additive usage rate and documentation of investigation of alternate fabric release additives having a lower potential to emit VOCs.

42. The plan approval will include additional monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to ensure compliance with the restrictions applied in the plan approval.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as required by the PSD regulations.
Emission sources that will be modified as a result of the proposed modifications were characterized in the model as twelve point sources. Building and stack downwash parameters for on-site ENS sources were entered into the model. These parameters were calculated by the PRIME version of the Building Profile Input Program (BPIPPRM version 04274).
Inventories entered into the model for the NAAQS analysis included 99 additional point and volume sources, which represent the permitted major CO emitting facilities within 50 km of the significant impact area (SIA) surrounding the facility. These sources are listed in Appendix F of the plan approval application.
Impacts from sources not directly modeled (e.g. natural sources, minor sources and distant major sources) were represented in the NAAQS analysis by conservatively monitored CO values from the Department's Erie CBD air quality monitor, which is located approximately 75 kilometers northwest of the facility. The Department suggested the use of the Erie CBD monitor as opposed to the Buffalo, NY monitor that was proposed in the application due to the closer proximity of the Erie CBD station to the modeled area. The Erie CBD monitor was relocated in October 2004. Due to this move, the most recent available three years of complete data are from 2001 to 2003. The highest, second-high 8-hour CO concentration from the Erie CBD was applied to the 8-hour analysis, as the highest reported CO value appears to have occurred during an isolated event in which meteorological conditions support that a major source local to the Erie CBD monitor significantly inflated the readings. There is no such CO source in the proximity of ENS, which is in a more rural setting than the Erie CBD monitor, hence the Department feels comfortable deeming the highest, second-high value as a conservative value for this set of circumstances.
Four receptor networks were utilized in this analysis. The entire modeling domain, extending approximately 8 kilometers from the center of the facility, was covered by a coarse 500-meter grid; a 100-meter grid extends out approximately 2 km from the center of the facility. Within 500 m of the center of the facility, receptors were placed on a 30 m grid to accompany the 25 m spacing that was applied along the fenceline of the facility. Receptor elevations were derived from 7.5-minute United States Geological Survey (USGS) digital elevation model (DEM) data. The extent and density of the receptors were appropriate to determine the maximum impacts for both the preliminary and NAAQS analyses.
ISC-PRIME utilized screen meteorological data. The meteorology data for this analysis was calculated using the METISC program as designed by Pat Hanrahan of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). All of the stability classes and wind speed were calculated at 1-degree intervals using the METISC program.
The estimated maximum 8-hour CO impacts exceed the Class II significant impact levels (SILs), published in Chapter C, Section IV.B of EPA's New Source Review (NSR) Workshop Manual (Draft, October 1990). A 'multisource' CO analysis was therefore required to demonstrate that the proposed facility modifications would not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the NAAQS standard. Increasing the 1-hour to 8-hour screening factor applied when utilizing screening meteorological data to 0.75 from the 0.7 that was submitted in the application increased the SIA to approximately 2 km. The model also estimates that the 8-hour CO impact is above the monitoring de minimis levels. The preconstruction ambient monitoring data requirement was fulfilled by conservatively applying existing data from the Department's monitoring station located in Erie.
The results of the preliminary analysis are summarized in the following table:
