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.

17-00001D: Reliant Energy Mid-Atlantic Power Holdings, LLC (121 Champion Way, Suite 200, Canonsburg, PA 15317) for installation of activated carbon injection (ACI) systems on all four utility boilers, a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) system and associated fabric collector on the combined exhaust of boilers 3 and 4, and construction of associated material handling sources and installation of associated fabric collectors at their Shawville Plant in Bradford Township, Clearfield County. This facility, following the proposed construction and installation, will remain as a major facility for air contaminant emissions. The proposed construction and installation is subject to the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. This project will emit up to 2.83 tons of PM, 0.90 ton of PM10 in any 12-consecutive month period.
This proposed project is not subject to PSD requirements. However, since exit velocity and exit temperature for the main stacks would change due to the proposed project, Reliant has submitted modeling in order to show that the proposed project would not cause a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) to be exceeded. The modeling analysis utilized AERMOD (version 07026). AERMOD was listed as a preferred model in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (Guideline on Air Quality Models) on November 9, 2005. As of December 9, 2006, AERMOD is fully promulgated as a replacement to ISC3, in accordance with CFR Part 51, Appendix W. The air quality modeling analysis estimates that the proposed project will not cause air pollution in violation of the CO, NO2, PM10 or SO2 NAAQS.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by Reliant indicates that the sources at the facility will comply with all air quality requirements, including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction, installation, and operation of the sources and control devices. Additionally, if the Department determines that the proposed sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit via an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
1. Under the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the air contaminant emissions from the ACI system storage silo shall be controlled by a Griffin (or equivalent*) model 54-LS (or equivalent*) fabric collector.
