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.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants as well as conditions previously established in Operating Permit 49-303-001, issued on September 29, 1993, and Operating Permit 49-310-0004A, issued on September 23, 1993.
These previously established conditions include:
1. A condition limiting the fuel fired in the asphalt plant to gas (natural or liquefied petroleum), virgin No. 2 fuel oil and recycled/reprocessed oil.
2. A condition limiting the sulfur content of all oil fired in the asphalt plant to 1.0%, by weight.
3. A condition limiting the content of certain contaminants in the recycled/reprocessed oil fired in the asphalt plant to:
* Arsenic--five parts per million (by weight)
* Cadmium--two parts per million (by weight)
* Chromium--10 parts per million (by weight)
* Total halogens--1,000 parts per million (by weight)
4. A condition requiring the permittee to take a representative sample of each shipment of recycled/reprocessed oil received and save it for at least 2 years for possible analysis.
5. A condition requiring spare fabric collector bags to be kept onsite.
6. A condition prohibiting the manufacture of asbestos-containing asphalt paving material.
The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued a number of new conditions including:
1. A condition limiting the content of certain contaminants in the recycled/reprocessed oil used in the asphalt plant to more stringent limitations than previously required by Operating Permit 49-303-001:
* Lead--100 parts per million (by weight)
* polychlorinated bithenyls--none detectable (detection limit no greater than two parts per million)
2. A condition prohibiting the recycled/reprocessed oil used in the asphalt plant from having a flash point less than 100°F.
3. A condition limiting the asphalt plant's production to no more than 450,000 tons of product during any 12-consecutive month period.
4. A condition requiring the performance of PM stack testing on the asphalt plant with 2.5 years of operating permit issuance.
5. A condition prohibiting the facility from accepting any shipment of recycled/reprocessed oil which contains contaminant contents in excess of those specified in the permit or for which contaminant contents are unknown.
6. A condition specifying the specific analytical procedures to be employed in determining the contaminant contents in recycled/reprocessed oil.
7. Conditions requiring the permittee to test each shipment of recycled/reprocessed oil received for total halogen content and to perform a complete analysis for all regulated contaminants on at least one out of every 15 shipments of the oil.
8. A condition specifying the conditions which must be met to take a ''representative sample'' of recycled/reprocessed oil.
9. A condition requiring the maintenance and periodic submission, of records of the results of all recycled/reprocessed oil analyses performed, the total quantity of asphalt concrete produced each month, the quantity of each type of fuel used each month and the delivery date, quantity, supplier identification and contaminant contents for each shipment of recycled/reprocessed oil received.
10. A condition prohibiting the permittee from putting any waste oil or other waste materials into any storage tank used for the storage of fuel.
11. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the contents of the liquid asphalt storage tank.
