LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

ConocoPhillips will install about 200 feet of pipe to connect the existing light components pump to the existing blender railcar loading rack. This change allows ConocoPhillips to load light component blendstock into rail cars. This change is necessary due to the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007 (EISA) that mandates an increasing volume of renewable fuels into the nation's fuel supply. The loading losses caused by loading to the railcars are collected and routed to the main flare. The de minimis emission rate increases due to this change are: 0.14 tons/yr VOC, 0.36 tons/yr CO, 0.07 tons/yr NOx, and 0.003 tons/yr SOx.
The emissions shall be calculated using loading losses equations and the industrial flare emission factors from the US EPA AP-42 document. The permit includes monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility within all applicable air quality requirements.
