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.

67-05083: Conectiv Mid-Merit, LLC (P. O. Box 6066, 92 DC 72, Newark, DE 19714-6066) for construction of a combined cycle electric generating facility. The proposed facility is to be in Peach Bottom Township, York County, off Atom Road, along Pikes Peak Road, approximately one mile northeast of the Borough of Delta.
Plan Approval 67-05083 was originally issued on January 5, 2007. The plan approval has been modified as follows:
Fuel Oil Sulfur Content
The liquid distillate fuel oil fired in the combustion turbines is required to be ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm (as defined by ASTM Standard D975 Table 1). The original air quality modeling was done using low sulfur diesel (0.05 wt% S) and predicted possible impacts on the Class I areas during firing of fuel oil. A plan approval condition had been included to limit maximum daily fuel oil firing to prevent visibility impacts at the Class I areas. The requirement to use ULSD (0.0015 wt% S) allows increased daily firing of fuel oil. The daily maximum fuel oil firing limits have been changed to reflect the use of ULSD. The annual limit for oil-fired operation has not changed.
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines
The requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK had been incorporated into the plan approval. The NOx limit for natural gas firing was incorrectly designated as 25 ppm and has now been corrected to 15 ppm. The NOx limits in the plan approval modification are as follows:
Fuel type NOx Emission Limit Natural Gas 15 ppm at 15% O2 or 0.43 lb/MW-hr of useful output Oil 42 ppm at 15% O2 or 1.3 lb/MW-hr of useful output Ammonia Slip
The 5 ppmvd one-hour limit restriction in the plan approval has been replaced with a 5 ppmvd 24-hour rolling block average and a 7 ppmvd 3-hour rolling block average, volume corrected to 15% oxygen. Conectiv is proposing to use a continuous emissions monitor (CEM) to ensure compliance with the ammonia slip limit.
Emissions Testing
Section E, SG01, Condition No. 018 has been revised as follows:
Within 60 days after achieving the maximum firing rate, but not later than 180 days after start-up and, if warranted and requested by the Department of Environmental Protection based on the results of initial testing, each subsequent year of temporary operation thereafter, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with each of the emission limits established in Conditions Nos. 001, 002, 009 and 010 above and opacity, as per 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139, 40 CFR Part 60 and Title IV.
Further testing will be required in the operating permit. The schedule will be determined based on the emissions testing and CEM data collected during temporary operation.
Subpart GG
Subpart GG has been replaced by the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK. Section E, Condition No. 026 has been revised to remove reference to Subpart GG.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
12-399-016A: Micron Research Corporation (P. O. Box 269, Emporium, PA 15834) for construction and operation of a four 2,000 pound electric induction furnaces (Source ID P120), six natural gas fired bake furnaces (Source ID P115) and a Baker Perkins double arm mixer (Source ID P110) at their facility in Shippen Township, Cameron County. The PM emissions from the proposed double arm mixer and the existing mixer will be controlled by an existing cartridge collector. Additionally, the air contaminant emissions from each carbon bake furnace will be controlled by a natural gas fired thermal afterburner. The facility proposed to install and operate six natural gas fired thermal afterburners (ID C115) to control emissions from the bake furnaces. The operation of the proposed sources will increase the production capacity at the facility. However, the facility will remain as a State-only facility.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information contained in the application submitted by Micron indicates that the sources and the aircleaning devices will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the PM emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the SOx emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 and the visible emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. The plan approval, if issued, will subsequently be incorporated in an operating permit by means of an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date.
