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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONSThe 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.
Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401
Contact: Sachin Shankar, New Source Review Chief—Telephone: 484-250-5920
23-0003W: Monroe Energy, LLC (4101 Post Road, Trainer, PA 19061) for a D2 project to increase ultra-low sulfur diesel production located at 4101 Post Road, Trainer Borough, Delaware County. This plan approval will authorize the construction of the project, and the transfer and use of volatile organic compound (VOC) emission reduction credits (ERCs). The project is described in the Applicant's application of May 20, 2013, and subsequent submissions.
Based on the information provided by the Applicant and DEP's own analysis, the project will increase emissions of 3.44 tons VOC per year. The required ERCs are 39.84 tons VOC to offset the contemporaneous net emission increases of 30.64 tons.
Copies of the application, draft Plan Approval and other documents used in evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address shown below.
In order to assure compliance with the applicable standards, DEP will place the following conditions in the plan approval:
25 Pa. Code § 127.208—ERC use and transfer requirements
• The permittee shall use and transfer ERC in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.208.
25 Pa. Code § 127.210—Offset ratios
• Before commence operation, the permittee shall provide VOCERC at a 1.3:1.0 ratio to offset the VOC net emissions increase of 30.64 tons as per 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203(b)(1)(ii), 127.205(3) and 127.210. The requirement VOCERC is 39.84 tons.
25 Pa. Code § 127.12b—Plan approval terms and conditions
• The requirements for Source ID 102 in current TVOP No. 23-00003 apply.
• The requirements for Source ID 103 in current TVOP No. 23-00003 apply, and in addition with the following conditions:
Testing Requirements
The permittee shall determine compliance with the applicable H2S emissions limit in the concentration requirement in § 60.103a(h) for the flare according to the following test methods and procedures:
(1) Method 1 of appendix A-1 to part 60 for sample and velocity traverses;
(2) Method 2 of appendix A-1 to part 60 for velocity and volumetric flow rate;
(3) Method 3, 3A, or 3B of appendix A-2 to part 60 for gas analysis. The method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ''Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses,'' (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 3B of appendix A-2 to part 60;
(4) EPA Method 11, 15 or 15A of Appendix A-5 to part 60 or EPA Method 16 of Appendix A-6 to part 60 for determining the H2S concentration for affected facilities using an H2S monitor as specified in § 60.107a(a)(2). The method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 15A of Appendix A-5 to part 60. The owner or operator may demonstrate compliance based on the mixture used in the flare or for each individual fuel gas stream used in the flare.
(i) For Method 11 of appendix A-5 to part 60, the sampling time and sample volume must be at least 10 minutes and 0.010 dscm (0.35 dscf). Two samples of equal sampling times must be taken at about 1-hour intervals. The arithmetic average of these two samples constitutes a run. For most fuel gases, sampling times exceeding 20 minutes may result in depletion of the collection solution, although fuel gases containing low concentrations of H2S may necessitate sampling for longer periods of time.
(ii) For Method 15 of appendix A-5 to part 60, at least three injects over a 1-hour period constitutes a run.
(iii) For Method 15A of appendix A-5 to part 60, a 1-hour sample constitutes a run. The method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ''Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses,'' (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 15A of appendix A-5 to part 60.
(iv) If monitoring is conducted at a single point in a common source of fuel gas as allowed under § 60.107a(a)(2)(iv), only one performance test is required. That is, performance tests are not required when a new affected flare is added to a common source of fuel gas that previously demonstrated compliance.
Monitoring Requirements
(a) Flares subject to H2S concentration requirements.
(1) Not applicable.
(2) The permittee shall install, operate, calibrate and maintain an instrument for continuously monitoring and recording the concentration by volume (dry basis) of H2S in the fuel gases before being burned in the flare.
(i) The permittee shall install, operate and maintain each H2S monitor according to Performance Specification 7 of Appendix B to part 60. The span value for this instrument is 300 ppmvH2S.
(ii) The permittee shall conduct performance evaluations for each H2S monitor according to the requirements of § 60.13(c) and Performance Specification 7 of appendix B to part 60. The owner or operator shall use Method 11, 15, or 15A of appendix A-5 to part 60 or Method 16 of appendix A-6 to part 60 for conducting the relative accuracy evaluations. The method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ''Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses,'' (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 15A of appendix A-5 to part 60.
(iii) The permittee shall comply with the applicable quality assurance procedures in appendix F to part 60 for each H2S monitor.
(iv) Flares having a common source of fuel gas may be monitored at only one location, if monitoring at this location accurately represents the concentration of H2S in the fuel gas being burned in the respective flares.
(3) The permittee is not required to comply with paragraph (a)(2) of this section for fuel gas streams that are exempt under § 60.103a(h) or, other flare that are inherently low in sulfur content.
(4) If the composition of an exempt fuel gas stream changes, the permittee must follow the procedures in paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
(e) Sulfur monitoring for assessing root cause analysis threshold for affected flares. The permittee shall determine the total reduced sulfur concentration for each gas line directed to the flare in accordance with either paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
Different options may be elected for different gas lines. If a monitoring system is in place that is capable of complying with the requirements related to paragraph (e)(2) of this section, the permittee must comply with the requirements related to paragraph (e)(2) of this section upon startup of the modified flare. If a monitoring system is not in place that is capable of complying with the requirements related to paragraph (e)(2) of this section, the owner or operator of a modified flare must comply with the requirements related to paragraph (e)(2) of this section no later than November 11, 2015.
(2) H2S monitoring requirements. The permittee shall install, operate, calibrate, and maintain an instrument for continuously monitoring and recording the concentration of H2S in gas discharged to the flare according to the requirements in paragraphs (e)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section and shall collect and analyze samples of the gas and calculate total sulfur concentrations as specified in paragraphs (e)(2)(iv) through (ix) of this section.
(i) The permittee shall install, operate and maintain each H2S monitor according to Performance Specification 7 of Appendix B to part 60. The span value should be determined based on the maximum sulfur content of gas that can be discharged to the flare (e.g., roughly 1.1 to 1.3 times the maximum anticipated sulfur concentration), but may be no less than 5,000 ppmv.
A single dual range H2S monitor may be used to comply with the requirements of this paragraph and paragraph (a)(2) of this section provided the applicable span specifications are met.
(ii) The permittee shall conduct performance evaluations of each H2S monitor according to the requirements in § 60.13(c) and Performance Specification 7 of Appendix B to part 60. For flares that routinely have flow, the permittee shall use EPA Method 11, 15 or 15A of Appendix A-5 to part 60 for conducting the relative accuracy evaluations. The method ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) is an acceptable alternative to EPA Method 15A of Appendix A-5 to part 60. The alternative relative accuracy procedures described in § 16.0 of Performance Specification 2 of Appendix B to part 60 (cylinder gas audits) may be used for conducting the relative accuracy evaluations.
(iii) The owner or operator shall comply with the applicable quality assurance procedures in Appendix F to part 60 for each H2S monitor.
(iv) In the first 10 operating days after the date the flare must begin to comply with § 60.103a(c)(1), the permittee shall collect representative daily samples of the gas discharged to the flare. The samples may be grab samples or integrated samples. The permittee shall take subsequent representative daily samples at least once per week or as required in paragraph (e)(2)(ix) of this section.
(v) The permittee shall analyze each daily sample for total sulfur using either EPA Method 15A of Appendix A-5 to part 60, EPA Method 16A of Appendix A-6 to part 60, ASTM Method D4468-85 (Reapproved 2006) (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17) or ASTM Method D5504-08 (incorporated by reference—see § 60.17).
(vi) The owner or operator permittee shall develop a 10-day average total sulfur-to-H2S ratio and 95-percent confidence interval as follows:
(A) Calculate the ratio of the total sulfur concentration to the H2S concentration for each day during which samples are collected.
(B) Determine the 10-day average total sulfur-to-H2S ratio as the arithmetic average of the daily ratios calculated in paragraph (e)(2)(vi)(A) of this section.
(C) Determine the acceptable range for subsequent weekly samples based on the 95-percent confidence interval for the distribution of daily ratios based on the 10 individual daily ratios using Equation 11 of this section.
(vii) For each day during the period when data are being collected to develop a 10-day average, the permittee shall estimate the total sulfur concentration using the measured total sulfur concentration measured for that day.
(viii) For all days other than those during which data are being collected to develop a 10-day average, the permittee shall multiply the most recent 10-day average total sulfur-to-H2S ratio by the daily average H2S concentrations obtained using the monitor as required by paragraph (e)(2)(i) through (iii) of this section to estimate total sulfur concentrations.
(ix) If the total sulfur-to-H2S ratio for a subsequent weekly sample is outside the acceptable range for the most recent distribution of daily ratios, the permittee shall develop a new 10-day average ratio and acceptable range based on data for the outlying weekly sample plus data collected over the following 9 operating days.
(f) Flow monitoring for flares. Except as provided in paragraph (f)(2) of this section, the permittee shall install, operate, calibrate and maintain, in accordance with the specifications in paragraph (f)(1) of this section, a CPMS to measure and record the flow rate of gas discharged to the flare. If a flow monitor is not already in place, the permittee shall comply with the requirements of this paragraph by no later than November 11, 2015.
(1) The permittee shall install, calibrate, operate and maintain each flow monitor according to the manufacturer's procedures and specifications and the following requirements.
(i) Locate the monitor in a position that provides a representative measurement of the total gas flow rate.
(ii) Use a flow sensor with a measurement sensitivity of no more than 5 percent of the flow rate or 10 cubic feet per minute, whichever is greater.
(iii) Use a flow monitor that is maintainable online, is able to continuously correct for temperature and pressure and is able to record flow in standard conditions (as defined in § 60.2) over one-minute averages.
(iv) At least quarterly, perform a visual inspection of all components of the monitor for physical and operational integrity and all electrical connections for oxidation and galvanic corrosion if the flow monitor is not equipped with a redundant flow sensor.
(v) Recalibrate the flow monitor in accordance with the manufacturer's procedures and specifications biennially (every two years) or at the frequency specified by the manufacturer.
(2) Flares equipped with flare gas recovery systems designed, sized and operated to capture all flows except those resulting from startup, shutdown or malfunction are not required to install continuous flow monitors; provided, however, that for any such flare, the owner or operator shall comply with the monitoring alternative in paragraph (g) of this section.
(i) Excess emissions. For the purpose of reports required by § 60.7(c), periods of excess emissions for flares subject to the concentration requirement in § 60.103a(h) are defined as specified in paragraph (i)(2) of this section. Determine a rolling 3-hour or a rolling daily average as the arithmetic average of the applicable 1-hour averages (e.g., a rolling 3-hour average is the arithmetic average of three contiguous 1-hour averages).
(2) H2S concentration limits for flares. (i) Each rolling 3-hour period during which the average concentration of H2S as measured by the H2S continuous monitoring system required under paragraph (a)(2) of this section exceeds 162 ppmv.
Recordkeeping Requirements
The permittee shall maintain the following records:
(1) A copy of the flare management plan.
(2) For each fuel gas stream to which one of the exemptions listed in § 60.107a(a)(3) applies, records of the specific exemption determined to apply for each fuel stream. If the permittee applies for the exemption described in § 60.107a(a)(3)(iv), the owner or operator must keep a copy of the application as well as the letter from the Administrator granting approval of the application.
(3) Records of discharges to an affected flare in excess of 500,000 scf above baseline in any 24-hour period as required by § 60.103a(c).
