LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907)
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule appointments.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan Approval or Operating Permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—143, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110
Contact: Thomas J. Hanlon, Chief, East Permitting Section—Telephone: 717-705-4862 or Daniel Husted, Chief, West Permitting Section—Telephone: 717-949-7935
06-05069: East Penn Mfg. Co., Inc. (PO Box 147, Deka Road, Lyon Station, PA 19536-0147) for control of NOx and VOC emissions from the various lead/acid storage battery manufacturing operations at their facility in Richmond Township, Berks County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 and 40 CFR Part 51.102 (State Implementation Plan) the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue an Operating Permit to East Penn Mfg Co, Inc (PO Box 147, Deka Road, Lyon Station, PA 19536-0147) to approve their RACT Plan for the control of NOx and VOC emissions from the various lead/acid storage battery manufacturing operations at their facility in Richmond Township, Berks County. The conditions of this RACT approval may be included in the pending Title V Permit No. 06-05069, or may be issued as a separate permit to be incorporated into the Title V permit at a later date. In the event that a separate RACT permit is issued, it will be designated as 06-01069R. The conditions of the RACT approval would be submitted to EPA as a revision to the State Implementation Plan.
Based on the information provided by East Penn, and the Department's analysis, this plan complies with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code Sections 129.91 and 129.92. The plan involves the restriction in emissions of NOx and VOC by imposing emission caps, and/or by requiring the operation of the various sources in a manner that limits the amount of emissions generated by their use. These restrictions will be incorporated in an Operating Permit. Included with the restrictions will be record keeping, work practices, monitoring and reporting requirements. The existing affected small combustion sources from the company's 12/00 RACT application are subject to the presumptive RACT requirements in 25 Pa. Code Section 129.93(c)(1). The potential emissions from these sources are presently limited, for non-RACT purposes, to 80.1 tpy of NOx in an existing permit, via a fuel usage cap. The equivalent VOC PTE based on the fuel usage cap is 3.7 tpy. The existing affected non-combustion operations from the company's 12/00 RACT application, and their proposed restricted potential emissions are battery finishing (VOC 15 tpy), concasting (VOC 4.5 tpy), gasoline and diesel handling (VOC 2.0 tpy), spraypainting (VOC 7.6 tpy) and miscellaneous chemical usage (VOC 27.2 tpy).
All of the pertinent documents are available for public review at DEP's Southcentral Regional Office. Reviews may be scheduled by contacting Mr. Thomas Hanlon at (717) 705-4862 between 8:30 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. Monday through Friday, except holidays.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments or protests on the proposal. The hearing will be held at DEP's Southcentral Regional Office on January 12, 2011 from 9:00 AM until all scheduled comments on the proposal are received. The public is invited to present testimony at the hearing and should contact Mr. Thomas Hanlon at (717) 705-4862 to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to ten minutes for each presenter. Each group or organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf. Commenters shall provide two written copies of their remarks at the time of the hearings. A person may oppose the proposed RACT approval by filing a written protest with the Department. Persons interested in submitting written comments should send their comments to Mr. Thomas Hanlon, East Permitting Section Chief, Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, postmarked no later than the public hearing date.
