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.

41-00073: Penn Recycling, Inc. (2525 Trenton Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701) for the operation of an automobile/metal shredding facility in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The facility incorporates a shredder and associated material separation and handling equipment, two small No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters (with a combined heat input of .184 mmBtu/hr and a solvent parts washer.
The NOx, CO and SOx emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed .92, .56 and .41 tpy, respectively. The PM, VOC and HAP emission rates are unknown, but there is no evidence to suggest that they are above the levels which would make the respective facility a major ''Title V'' source. The air contaminant emissions from the shredder are controlled by a water spray system and the air contaminant emissions from a material separation column (''Z-box'') are controlled by a cyclone collector.
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 contained in Plan Approval 41-399-026, issued on June 26, 2001.
The conditions previously contained in Plan Approval 41-399-026 include:
1. Conditions limiting the PM emissions from the exhaust of the cyclone collector associated with a product separation column (''Z-box'') to .02 grains per dry standard cubic foot of effluent gas volume and the visible air contaminant emissions to less than 10% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour and less than 30% at any time.
2. A condition prohibiting visible fugitive air contaminant emissions other than those determined to be of minor significance by the Department.
3. A condition prohibiting the processing of gasoline tanks and other VOC-containing materials.
The Department additionally proposes to incorporate several new conditions into the operating permit to be issued including:
4. A condition limiting the fuel used in the two small No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters to No. 2 fuel oil to which no reclaimed/reprocessed oil, waste oil or other waste materials have been added.
5. A condition prohibiting the use in the solvent parts washer of halogenated solvents or solvents to which a volatile HAP has intentionally been added.
