LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
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.

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. 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.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

The permittee shall not operate the pneumatic truck transfer line system associated with Silos 1, 2, 5 and 6 (unloading station No. 2) without the simultaneous operation of the associated bin-vent fabric filter. The PM emissions from the storage silos and the pneumatic truck transfer line system shall be controlled by the IAC model 96TB-BHI-25 bin-vent fabric filters (IDs C523A and C523B).
8. The permittee shall not simultaneously unload more than two tanker trucks with the pneumatic truck transfer line system. In addition, if two tanker trucks are simultaneously unloaded, one must be at unloading station No. 1 and the other must be at unloading station No. 2.

In addition, the permittee shall record the differential pressure across each fabric filters at least once per week when each fabric filter is in operation.
10. The permittee shall keep records of the supporting calculations for PM and PM10 emissions on a monthly basis and shall verify compliance with the PM and PM10 emissions limitation for the pneumatic truck transfer line system in any 12-consecutive month period. These records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
11. The permittee shall keep records of the amount of material process through Silos 3, 4, 7 and 8 on a monthly basis and shall verify compliance with the material throughput limitation for the silos in any 12-consecutive month period. The permittee shall keep records of the amount of material process through Silos 1, 2, 5 and 6 on a monthly basis and shall verify compliance with the material throughput limitation for the silos in any 12-consecutive month period.

30-00099G: Allegheny Energy Supply Co., LLC (800 Cabin Hill Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601) for installation and operation of limestone and gypsum Materials Handling Systems at their Hatfield's Ferry Power Station in Monongahela Township, Greene County.
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(a), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval to Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC to allow the installation and operation of limestone and gypsum Materials Handling Systems at their Hatfield's Ferry Power Station in Monongahela Township, Greene County. The Materials Handling Systems will support the operation of the pre- viously approved (PA-30-00099F) Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers which are being installed to control SO2 emissions from three existing pulverized coal-fired boilers.
This project has been evaluated in two phases; Phase I Flue Gas Desulfurization Project was issued on September 14, 2006 under PA-30-00099F and Phase II FGD Project--Materials Handling System, PA-30-00099G, which is the subject of this Notice. Emission rates from the facility of all PSD pollutants are expected to either decrease, remain unaffected, or be defined as an insignificant increase per 40 CFR Part 52 as a result of this Project. This Project does not meet the 40 CFR Part 52 definition of a major modification (such as, no significant increase of any pollutant listed under 40 CFR 52.21(b)(23)(i)) and as such this Project is not subject to 40 CFR Part 52 requirements.
