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.

08-00002A: E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. (R. D. 1, Box 15, Towanda, PA 18848) for modification and installation of an air cleaning device on a polymer-coated metal foil treating oven in North Towanda Township, Bradford County.
The facility in which the respective oven is located is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (No. 08-00002) has been issued.
Residual VOCs from the polymer coating on the metal foil are emitted from the electrically-heated oven during the treating process. The respective modification is an increase in oven usage such that the potential uncontrolled VOC emissions will increase from a maximum of .75 tpy to a maximum of 11.7 tpy. The proposed air cleaning device is a condenser.
Following the installation of the condenser, the VOC emissions from the oven will not exceed a maximum of .25 tpy. None of the VOCs emitted will be HAPs.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. indicates that the respective oven will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the installation of the condenser, including the BAT provision of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of, and installation of a condenser on, the respective oven. Additionally, if the Department determines that the oven is operating in compliance with all conditions of the plan approval and all applicable regulatory requirements following the oven modification and condenser installation, the Department intends to incorporate the plan approval conditions into Title V Operating Permit 08-00002 in accordance with the administrative amendment requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
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. Prior to the installation of the condenser, the VOC emissions from the oven shall not exceed .75 ton in any 12-consecutive month period. Following the installation of the condenser, the oven shall not thereafter be operated without the simultaneous operation of the condenser and the VOC emissions shall not exceed .25 ton in any 12-consecutive month period. There shall be no hazardous air pollutant emissions from the oven either before or after the installation of the condenser.
2. The temperature of the condenser exhaust shall not exceed 30° F at any time the oven is in operation. Additionally, the oven shall be equipped with an interlock system that will prevent the oven heaters from functioning if the temperature of the condenser exhaust exceeds 30° F.
3. The condenser shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor both the condenser exhaust temperature and the pressure differential across the condenser.
4. Condenser condensate shall be collected in an enclosed system and stored in closed containers.
5. The permittee shall maintain comprehensive accurate records of the oven throughput each month, the amount of condenser condensate collected each month and the identity of the VOCs contained in the polymer coating of each roll of foil processed through the oven.
A copy of the plan approval application is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address as follows. Persons interested in inspecting the application must schedule an appointment in advance.
Any person wishing to protest the issuance of plan approval or provide the Department with additional information which he/she believes should be considered in the Department's review of the respective plan approval application may do so by submitting the protest or information in writing to the department at the address listed.

67-03079: Hercon Lab (101 Sinking Spring Lane, P. O. Box 467, Emigsville, PA 17318) for natural minor operating permit renewal for operation of a transdermal patch solvent coater controlled by a natural gas fired, 2.1 mmBtu/hr incinerator in Manchester Township, York County. The annual emissions of the VOC, NOx and PM from the operation are less than 1 ton each. The natural minor operating permit renewal shall contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
17-00002: Dominion Transmission, Inc. (445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301) for renewal of a State-only operating permit for operation of a natural gas compressor station (Helvetia Compressor Station) in Brady Township, Clearfield County.
The facility incorporates a 330 horsepower natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion compressor engine, a .375 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired triethylene glycol dehydration system and three storage tanks. This facility has the potential to emit up to 41.81 tons of NOx, 8.85 tons of VOCs, 5.21 tons of CO, .65 ton of PM (including .65 ton of PM10), .01 ton of SOx and 1.65 tons of HAP per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 17-00002. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00002 with these exceptions, changes and/or additions:
1. Conditions requiring monthly ''walk around'' inspections of the facility and the maintenance of records of these inspections have been removed from the permit as the Department feels that the type of permit condition violations that would be the most likely to occur at this facility cannot be detected during a ''walk around'' inspection. Inspections are consequently of questionable value.
2. A condition requiring the reporting of malfunctions has been revised to make it clear that only equipment malfunctions with the potential to cause air contaminant emission limitation or permit condition violations need be reported.
3. A condition requiring records to be maintained of the calculations used to verify compliance with the PM and SOx emission limitations for the 330 horsepower compressor engine has been removed from the permit as it is virtually impossible for a natural gas-fired engine to exceed the respective limitations.
4. Conditions have been added to the permit restricting the fuel used in the 330 horsepower compressor engine and dehydration unit to natural gas.
5. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the materials stored in two of the facility's three storage tanks has been modified to also require the maintenance of the identity of the materials stored in the respective two tanks.
6. A condition prohibiting the storage of materials with a vapor pressure equal to, or greater than, 1.5 pounds per square inch in two of the facility's three storage tanks unless the tanks are equipped with a pressure relief valve has been revised to prohibit the storage of materials with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 pounds per square inch under actual storage conditions.
