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

62-017O: United Refining Co., 15 Bradley Street Warren, PA for modification of the Naphtha hydrotreater in the City of Warren, Warren County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to for the Warren Refinery in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility was issued a Title V permit No.TV-62-00017 on December 26, 2000, which was revised on March 21, 2001, and again on December 18, 2001. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. 62-0017O is for the modification of the Naphtha hydrotreater. In addition to the physical modifications to this unit, the refinery will experience an increase in emissions from the prefractionator 2 unit, the east and west reformers, and the sulfur recovery unit. The project is being proposed to enable United Refining to produce gasoline with sulfur levels of 30 ppm (annual average) and 80 ppm (maximum sulfur level). The sulfur will be removed from the existing stream by redirecting the light fluidized catalytic cracking naphtha to the existing Naphtha hydrotreater. United Refining also proposed modifications to the No. 4 boiler with installation of flue gas recirculation, but withdrew that proposal on December 7, 2006, and will submit a separate application for plan approval for the boiler at a later date.
The projected increase in emissions due to this project for NOx is 35.3 tons per year, CO is 17.6 tons per year, PM is 11.3 tons per year, PM10 is 11.2 tons per year and SO is 37.6 tons per year. The projected increase was determined based on the average of calendar year 2004 and 2005 actual emissions compared to the projected actual emissions in accordance with the Prevention of Significant Deterioration applicability procedures in 40 CFR Part 52. The NOx and VOCs potential emissions remain unchanged. The plan approval does not trigger nonattainment new source review regulations or Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations.
The permit will incorporate monitoring and recordkeeping requirements for the quantity of fuel burned, the heat content of the fuel, the hours of operation and the emissions from the heaters. The permit also incorporates the Federal maximum achievable control technology requirements for the Reformer and the Sulfur Recovery Unit (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) and the existing applicable requirements for the source from the Title V Operating Permit. The permit also incorporates conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements.
Copies of the applications, Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Northwest Regional Department Office, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.

The Department will consider any written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Each written comment must contain the following:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
Identification of the proposed permit [Permit Nos. 62-017O].
A concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines telephone notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Matthew Williams, New Source Review, Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6940.
