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.

37-327A: R. Cunningham Funeral Home Inc. (2429 Wilmington Road, New Castle, PA 15195) to issue a plan approval for authorization to continue operation of two existing crematories (one human and one animal) at their existing facility in the City of New Castle, Lawrence County. Public notice is required for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44.
The facility consists of one human and one pet crematory each installed January 18, 2008 under authorization from GP14-37-327. This plan approval application was submitted per the Department's instruction that those crematories which open their primary chamber's door during operation could no longer use the GP-14 for authorization and must be authorized by a plan approval or discontinue the opening of the door during the cremation cycle and continue to maintain their GP-14. Cunningham has elected to apply for a plan approval rather than discontinue the opening of their door which they feel is necessary for efficient and complete cremation cycles.
Emissions are estimated to be: less than 1.5 tons per year (tpy) of particulate matter, less than 1.0 tpy (each) of SOx, NOx, CO, VOC, and HAP.
This plan approval will be subject to special conditions [25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b)]:
WORK PRACTICE
1) The crematories' burners shall be operated and maintained as prescribed by the manufacturer. A copy of the burner's operational and maintenance literature shall be maintained onsite with the units at all times.
2) The owner/operator may only cremate human or animal remains and the container used to transport the remains. The head of an animal carcass infected with rabies must be removed before the remainder of the carcass is burned. Rabies infected tissue may not be incinerated at this facility.
3) The owner/operator of the crematory must ensure that all medical devices (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.) and potentially hazardous remedial devices (e.g. radioactive implants, etc.) have been removed from bodies and properly disposed of prior to cremation. Documentation certifying compliance with this requirement shall be maintained for each cremation.
4) The crematory shall be:
a. Operated in such a manner as not to cause air pollution, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1.
b. Operated and maintained in a manner consistent with good operating and maintenance practices.
c. Attended by a trained operator at all times when the unit is in operation.
d. Operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and the applicable terms and conditions of this Permit.
e. Operated such that the temperature at the exit of the secondary chamber shall be maintained at or above 1800° F throughout the cremation cycle.
f. Observed by a trained operator for stack emissions. The permittee shall verify compliance with visible, fugitive, and odor emission limitations through the following procedures:
(1) The permittee shall observe the exhaust stack and the premise of the crematory at least once during each cremation cycle for the presence of any visible, fugitive, or odor emissions;
(2) If any visible, fugitive, or odor emissions are apparent, the permittee shall take immediate action to eliminate them and record/describe the event in a log. The log entry shall at a minimum include the items described in Monitoring Condition 2)c.(1)—(6); and
(3) If any visible emissions are apparent after the corrective action, the crematory shall not start another cremation cycle until the permittee can verify compliance with the visible emission limitations specified in this plan approval through methods prescribed in 25 Pa. Code § 123.43 (relating to measuring techniques), such as Method 9 readings taken by a certified visible emissions reader.
g. Lit with adequate artificial lighting of the plume at the stack outlet to enable observations of stack emissions at night, if nighttime operation of the crematory is to occur.
5)
a. The crematory will be required to have an interlock system that meets specific requirements identified by the Department.
b. The operator may open the loading door to the crematory during the cremation cycle to inspect and, if deemed necessary, reposition the charge. However, the operator is still required to ensure that the crematory is operated in compliance with all terms and conditions specified in this operating permit, and that the emission of air contaminants from the crematory does not exceed any of the restrictions specified in this operating permit or established pursuant to any applicable rule or regulation contained in 25 Pa. Code Article III.
c. The operator shall monitor the crematory for visible air contaminant emissions, via the opacity sensor of the crematory or via direct observation of the crematory's stack, whenever the loading door is opened for inspection and repositioning of the charge.
d. The permittee shall ensure that the opacity sensor of this crematory is set to activate at 10% opacity.
