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.

17-00033: RES Coal, LLC (224 Grange Hall Road, Armagh, PA 15920) for the renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a coal processing facility (Clearfield Siding) in Boggs Township, Clearfield County.
The facility incorporates a rotary breaker, a radial stacking conveyor, a railcar loading operation, various stockpiles and three diesel fuel-fired emergency generators (approximately 10 horsepower, approximately 40 horsepower and 150 horsepower). The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 31.3 tons of PM/PM10, 27.2 tons of NOx, 5.9 tons of CO, 2.2 tons of VOCs, 1.8 tons of SOx and .02 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 17-00033. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00033 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of weekly inspections of the facility to detect the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of the results of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at this facility are not likely to generate visible air contaminant emissions or malodorous air contaminant emissions and the requirement to observe the facility for the presence of fugitive air contaminant emissions only once per week is misleading. The observations need to be regularly performed every day, all day, as part of the normal operation of the facility, in order to be truly effective in preventing excessive fugitive air contaminant emissions.
2. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been changed to exempt malfunctions which are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contamination emission limitation or are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, noncompliance with a permit condition.
3. A condition requiring facility haul roads to be ''saturated'' with water has been removed from the permit as the Department does not have the regulatory authority to require haul roads to be ''saturated'' with water. The Department does have the regulatory authority to require, and is requiring in the permit, the use of a water truck for road dust control and compliance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2 requirements pertaining to the prevention and control of fugitive dust from the use of roadways.
4. A condition requiring an operable water truck to be available onsite at all times and to be used, as needed, for the prevention and control of fugitive dust from plant roadways and stockpile areas has been relocated from Section D of the permit (Source Level Requirements) to Section C (Site Level Requirements).
5. Three diesel fuel-fired emergency generators, which exist at the facility but which were not previously incorporated in the permit, have been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 PM emission limitation and applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 SOx emission limitation and a condition limiting the fuel used in the generators to virgin diesel fuel to which no reclaimed/reprocessed oil, waste oil or other waste materials have been added.
Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Matthew Williams, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
33-00108: Brookville Hospital (100 Hospital Road, Brookville, PA 15825-1367) for reissuance of Natural Minor Permit to operate a general medical and surgical hospital. The major emitting sources included: 1) Five natural gas or/No. 2 fuel oil fueled Boilers and; 2) Two, No. 2 fuel oil fueled emergency generators in Brookville Borough, Jefferson County. The facility is natural minor because the emission of pollutants from the facility is less than Title V threshold limits.
