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—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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 under 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.

The hydrochloric fume scrubber reduces Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions from the reactor tanks to less than 0.075 ton per year. Facility-wide potential to emit for all criteria pollutants is below major facility thresholds for the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area. The plant is therefore a Natural Minor Facility. The plan approval will include monitoring, testing, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

Emissions from the facility are estimated as 0.11 ton/year particulate matter (PM/PM10/PM2.5), 0.0012 ton/year lead and 0.025 ton/year hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The dust collectors will achieve less than 0.02 grain/dry stand cubic foot particulate (PM/PM10/PM2.5). This will be considered to meet Best Available Technology (BAT). The permittee shall monitor and keep records and meet work practice standards to minimize emissions and keep the facility operating within all applicable emission standards.
