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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. 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.
Intent to Issue Plan Approvals and Intent to Issue or Amend Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B. These actions may include the administrative amendments of an associated operating permit.

PA 66-00001A: Procter and Gamble Paper Co. (P. O. Box 32, Route 87 South, Mehoopany, PA 18629) this is a correction to the publication on April 13, 2013 in that the incorrect plan approval number (66-315-058) was identified and that this publication identifies the correct plan approval number (66-00001A) for construction and operation of the following in Washington Township, Wyoming County: P&G proposes to add 38 new date coders to its diaper production lines.
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. Also, the company shall be required to monitor and record VOC emissions.
Additionally a PSD and NSR applicability analysis was conducted to determine if the Project would result in a significant net increase of any regulated pollutant. This analysis took into account emission increases attributable to the installation of the modification to the diaper lines, emission increases during the contemporaneous period, and emission decreases. The analysis has determined that the proposed modification project to the converting lines does not trigger the requirements of Prevention of Significant Deterioration or Nonattainment New Source Review permitting regulations.
This facility is a Title V facility. The plan approval will include all appropriate testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the operations within all applicable air quality requirements.

37-332B: Amerikohl Aggregates, Inc.—McMillin Mine (1384 State Route 711, Stahlstown, PA 15687) for modifications to a limestone processing plant at their facility in Wayne Township, Lawrence County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b) the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Plan Approval 37-332B to Amerikohl Aggregates, Inc. for modifications to a limestone processing plant at their McMillin Mine facility located on Chewton-Wurtemburg Rd., Wayne Township, Lawrence County. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the facility's Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
Plan Approval No. 37-332B is for modifications to an existing limestone processing plant, which will consist of the addition of a second crusher, installation of an additional 300 bhp diesel-fired generator, and the replacement of an existing 167 bhp diesel-fired generator with a 142 bhp diesel-fired generator. These modifications will result in an increase in permitted throughput from 650,000 to 840,000 tons per year of material processed by this facility. BAT for this equipment will consist of the use of water spray dust suppression system(s) on crushers and screeners, and the use of Best Management Practices to limit fugitive particulate matter emissions from paved and unpaved roads. Based on the information provided by the applicant and DEP's own analysis, the subject source(s) will emit a maximum of 48.1 tons of particulate matter, 15.0 tons of which will be particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM-10), 4.8 tons of carbon monoxide, 5.9 tons of combined nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), and 1.9 tons of sulfur oxides per year.
The facility will be limited to an annual throughput not to exceed 840,000 tons per year of material processed, and will be subject to the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Subparts OOO (Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants) and IIII (Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines). The Plan Approval will contain testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
