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.

PA 66-399-006: The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Co. (P. O. Box 31, Mehoopany, PA 18692) for modification of diaper operations (Source ID DP17) in Washington Township, Wyoming County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b) the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Plan Approval No. 66-399-006 to The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Co., P. O. 31, Mehoopany, PA 18692, for their plant located in Washington Township, Wyoming County. The facility currently has Title V Permit No. 66-00001. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval No. 66-399-006 is for the modification diaper operations (Source ID DP17). These modifications involve increasing the throughput of the site's diaper operations. In addition, one diaper production line (line 43) will be replaced by a new diaper production line (line 44). By this application the company has requested to increase diaper production by 33% from their 18 existing lines. Eighteen production lines will be affected. Presently PM emissions from all affected diaper production lines are controlled by either baghouses or drum filters. To achieve the desired production level the company will increase the air flow through the air pollution control devices. The company will maintain the air cloth to ratios for pleated baghouses to less than 3.5 feet per minute and for drum filters to less than 125 feet per minute, which meets good design practices. PM emissions from the new diaper production line will be controlled by existing air pollution control devices, no new baghouse/drum filter proposed for this line. The additional diaper production increase will increase VOC emission and PM emissions only from the diaper raw material handling systems and diaper manufacturing operations. This project does not impact emissions from other sources at the site. The VOC emissions increase due to this modification will be less than 8.81 tpy, and PM/PM10 with less than 1.39 tpy based on a 12-month rolling sum. The use of baghouses and drum filters capable of achieving 99.8% efficiency for PM and use of low VOC inks and adhesive meets Department's BAT requirements.
The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 08-00012. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 08-00012 with these changes and exceptions:
1. Conditions limiting the total combined facility-wide NOx emissions to less than 100 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, and requiring the maintenance and reporting of records of the amount of NOx emitted from the facility each month, have been removed from the permit as it is no longer possible for the facility's total combined NOx emissions to equal or exceed this emission limitation.
2. Conditions requiring the maintenance and semiannual reporting of records of the amount of SOx emitted from the facility each month have been removed from the permit as these values can be determined from fuel usage records, the maintenance and reporting of which are required elsewhere in the permit.
3. A condition requiring the maintenance of No. 2 fuel oil sulfur content certification reports has been revised to make it clear that a certification of sulfur content must be obtained for each individual load of No. 2 fuel oil delivered to the facility rather than an after-the-fact certification for all deliveries made during the prior year.
4. Conditions requiring a weekly inspection of the facility for the presence of excessive visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been revised to require inspections for the presence of excessive malodorous air contaminant emissions only as this facility does not contain the types of sources that are likely to produce excessive visible air contaminant and visible fugitive air contaminant emissions.
5. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been revised to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the NOx and carbon monoxide emission limitations for the facility's 40.4 mmBtu/hr boiler and 24.5 mmBtu/hr boiler have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to verify compliance with the respective emission limitations with ''calculations.''
7. Conditions requiring the semiannual reporting of the amount of No. 2 fuel oil used in the facility's 40.4 mmBtu/hr boiler and 24.5 mmBtu/hr boiler have been revised to require annual reporting.
8. Several small natural gas-fired combustion units (boilers, heaters, and the like) have been added to the permit.
9. Conditions have been added to the permit requiring the maintenance, and annual reporting, of records of the amount of No. 2 fuel oil fired each month in the rotary drum dryer incorporated in the blood drying operation.
10. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the materials stored in the tallow, propylene glycol and No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks have been revised to require the maintenance of records of the identity of the material stored in each tank.
11. Conditions specifying 25 Pa. Code § 127.63 requirements for the facility's parts washers have been removed from the permit as the parts washers are not subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.63.
12. Conditions have been added to the permit limiting the cleaning solutions used in the facility's parts washers to aqueous solutions containing 5% or less VOCs.
13. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of once-per-shift pressure differential, scrubbing water flow rate and scrubbing solution identity readings for the centrifugal separators and scrubbers associated with the facility's rendering operation and crax processing operation have been removed from the permit.
14. A condition which requires the maintenance of records ''which verify compliance with the particulate matter emission limitation'' for the facility's meal silo has been removed from the permit as there are no records which could conceivably be maintained which could ''verify''' compliance with the respective emission limitation.
14-00024: Shain Shop Bilt, Inc. (509 Hemlock Street, Philipsburg, PA 16866-2937) for their wood furniture manufacturing facility in South Philipsburg Borough, Centre County.

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91--96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation--Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
