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.

08-00002C: E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. (R. D. 1, Box 15, Towanda, PA 18848) to modify, and install an air cleaning device on, an existing thermal color filters coater in North Towanda Township, Bradford County.
The facility in which the thermal color filters coater is located is a major (Title V) facility for which a Title V operating permit (No. 08-00002) has been issued.
The proposed modification consists of using organic solvent-based coatings in addition to the water-based coatings previously in use and increasing the VOC emissions from the coater from less than 2.7 tpy to a maximum of no more than 24.46 tpy and the HAP emissions from less than 1.0 tpy of any individual HAPs and less than 2.5 tpy of all HAPs combined to a maximum of no more than 24.4 tpy. The proposed air cleaning device is a regenerative thermal oxidizer.
Following the modification of the coater and the installation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer, the air contaminant emissions from the coater are not expected to exceed 24.46 tons of VOC and/or non-VOC-organic solvents (organic solvents, such as methyl acetate and acetone, which are not considered to be VOCs by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency), 24.4 tons of HAPs, .8 ton of NOx, .4 ton of CO, .3 ton of PM/PM10 and .02 ton of SOx per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) review of the information submitted by E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc. indicates that the thermal color filters coater will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the modification of the coater and the installation of regenerative thermal oxidizer, including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and Subpart JJJJ of the National Emission Standards for HAPs, 40 CFR 63.3280--63.3420 (Paper and Other Web Coating). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the coater and the installation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer. Additionally, if the Department determines that the coater is operating in compliance with all conditions of the plan approval and all applicable regulatory requirements following its modification and the installation of the regenerative thermal oxidizer, the Department intends to incorporate the plan approval conditions to 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. The coater (which consists of a pump room, two coating stations and a dryer) shall be designed such that 100% of the VOC, non-VOC organic solvent and VHAPs emissions are captured.
2. The only VHAPs that may be used in the coatings applied in the coater are butyl carbitol acetate, dibutyl carbitol, Dowanol DE, ethyl benzene, ethylene glycol, hexane, methanol, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene and xylene.
3. The coater shall be controlled by the regenerative thermal oxidizer at all times that more than 7.0 pounds of VOC and/or non-VOC organic solvents or more than 6.0 pounds of VHAPs are being processed through the coater per hour.
4. The regenerative thermal oxidizer shall achieve a VOC/non-VOC organic solvent/VHAP destruction efficiency of at least 99% when the concentration of VOCs/non-VOC organic solvents/VHAPs in the inlet to the regenerative thermal oxidizer is in excess of 500 parts per million, by volume, expressed as propane. If the inlet concentration of VOC/non-VOC organic solvents/VHAPs is 500 parts per million or less, the concentration of VOC/non-VOC organic solvents/VHAPs in the exhaust of the regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not exceed 5 parts per million, by volume, expressed as propane.
5. The coater and regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not emit more than a total of 24.46 tons of VOC and/or non-VOC organic solvents or 24.4 tons of VHAPs in any 12-consecutive month period.
6. The concentration of NOx, expressed as nitrogen dioxide, in the exhaust of the regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not exceed 55 parts per million, by volume, dry basis, corrected to 3% oxygen at any time. Additionally, the emission of NOx, expressed as NO2, from the regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not exceed .8 ton in any 12 consecutive month period.
7. The concentration of CO in the exhaust of the regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not exceed 50 parts per million, by volume, dry basis, corrected to 3% oxygen at any time. Additionally, the emission of CO from the regenerative thermal oxidizer shall not exceed .4 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.
a. The regenerative thermal oxidizer shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor and record the combustion chamber temperature. At a minimum, the combustion chamber temperature shall be recorded at least once every 60 seconds. All temperature records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
8. The regenerative thermal oxidizer shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the rotary valve seal.
9. The coater shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the mass flow rate of the coatings being applied (or the permittee shall implement an alternate method, approved by the Department, of accurately determining this information). At a minimum, the mass flow rate shall be determined and recorded at least once every 15 minutes. The identity of the coating being applied shall also be recorded on each occasion the mass flow rate is recorded. All mass flow rate records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
10. Within 60 days of plan approval issuance, the permittee shall submit a monitoring plan to the Department which describes the instrumentation and/or method by which the VOC and/or non-VOC organic solvent loading (pounds per hour) and VHAPs loading (pounds per hour) to the regenerative thermal oxidizer will be monitored.
11. The regenerative thermal oxidizer combustion chamber temperature shall be maintained at a minimum of 1,550° F at all times that the regenerative thermal oxidizer is in operation except that the permittee may operate the regenerative thermal oxidizer at a lower combustion chamber temperature during the performance of stack testing (but, at no time, lower than 1,400° F). Additionally, the Department reserves the right to require the maintenance of a combustion chamber temperature in excess of 1,550° F if stack testing demonstrates that a higher temperature is needed to achieve the VOC/non-VOC organic solvent/VHAP destruction efficiency and/or emission limits specified herein. The coater shall not operate at any time the regenerative thermal oxidizer combustion chamber temperature is less than 1,550° F except during the performance of stack testing.
12. Within 180 days after coater startup, stack testing shall be performed to determine the VOC/non-VOC organic solvent/VHAP destruction efficiency occurring in the regenerative thermal oxidizer as well as the regenerative thermal oxidizer's outlet non-methane VOC concentration (expressed as propane), NOx emission rate and CO emission rate while the coater is operating at both a normal VOC/non-VOC organic solvent/VHAP generation rate and a maximum VOC/non-VOC organic solvent/VHAP generation rate.
13. The permittee shall maintain comprehensive accurate records of all VOC-containing, non-VOC organic solvent-containing and VHAP-containing coatings used on the coater. These records shall contain the following:
a. The identity of each coating used.
b. The amount of each coating used each month.
c. The VOC content of each coating used.
d. The non-VOC organic solvent content of each coating used.
e. The VHAP content of each coating used.
The permittee shall additionally maintain comprehensive accurate records of the amount of VOCs, the amount of non-VOC organic solvents and the amount of VHAPs emitted from the coater and regenerative thermal oxidizer each month.
All records shall be retained for at least 5 years, shall be made available to the Department upon request and shall be reported to the Department on a quarterly basis.
14. The coater is subject to Subpart JJJJ of the National Emission Standards for HAPs, 40 CFR 63.3280--63.3420 (Paper and Other Web Coating).
