LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Air Quality Plan Approvals Philadelphia: Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4543, Contact: Edward Wiener, Chief, Source Registration at 215-685-9426.
Air Management Services (AMS) issued modifications to the approved Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan approvals for the following facilities in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County:
PES Refinery, formerly Sunoco Refinery (3144 Passy-unk Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19145) to update a Responsible Official. Change the 433 H-1 Heater capacity from 243 MMBTUs/hr to 260 MMBTUs/hr. Add 864 Heater PH1, which was mistakenly deleted in the last RACT plan approval. Delete some shut down heaters. Add a requirement to vent the 1232 FCCU to the CO Boiler when operating as a partial-burn unit and a requirement to follow good combustion practices. Delete a quarterly leak detection and repair requirement, as fugitives are covered by 25 Pa. Code § 129.58. Made a control requirement for Girard Point Marine Loading only applicable to materials with a Reid Vapor Pressure of 4 psi or greater. Remove the Marine Vapor Collection and Control System requirement for Point Breeze Marine Loading and limit the process to loading materials with a RVP of less than 4 psi and an annual VOC emission limit of 25.99 tons. Reduced a 433 Heater H-1 NOx emission limit from 0.060 lbs/MMBTU to 0.035 lbs/MMBTU. Reduced an 859 Heater 1H-1 NOx emission limit form 0.035 lbs/MMBTU to 0.020 lbs/MMBTU. These revisions will reduce potential NOx and VOC emissions from the facility.
Exelon Generation Company—Richmond Station (3901 North Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19137) to correct an annual capacity factor limit form 18% to 15% for two combustions turbines. To remove a requirement to limit the sulfur content of No. 2 oil to 15 ppm beginning July 15, 2015 and an associated recordkeeping requirement. The facility will comply with the provisions of Air Management Code Section 3-207, which has a similar limit but allows use of existing fuel oil for a period of time. These revisions will reduce potential NOx emissions from the facility.
Veolia Energy—Schuylkill Station, formerly Trigen—Schuylkill (2600 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146) to change the wording on the NOx emission limits for Boiler #23 and Boiler #26 to clarify that the boilers must comply with each limit and the averaging period for some limits. These revisions will not change potential emissions for the facility.
Kinder Morgan, previously GATX (3300 North Delaware Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134) to delete a quarterly leak detection and repair requirement, as fugitives are covered by Air Management Regulation V, Section XIII(1). Remove gasoline and crude oil limits for marine loading, as the process cannot load these materials at all due to a limit on the Reid Vapor Pressure of materials loaded. Change the initial test date for marine vapor loading to a date that is within 5 years of the previous stack test. These revisions will not change potential emissions for the facility.
Plains Products Terminals LLC (3400 South 67th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19153) to combine the RACT plan approvals for the previous Maritank and ExxonMobil facilities into one facility. Remove shut down processes. Add a 6.6 tons per rolling 12-mont period VOC limit for marine loading. Remove a vapor recovery requirement for truck loading at the vapor recovery tanks due to a change to low vapor pressure materials and very low overall potential emissions. These revisions will reduce the potential VOC emissions from the facility.
Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (5001 South Broad Street, Code 02, Philadelphia, PA 19112-1403 to add a 0.38 lbs/MMBTU NOx emission limit for Boiler DDG-15 and add a stack test program. Require new test engines and turbines to comply with the Standard Navy Plan Maintenance Program. These revisions will reduce the potential NOx emissions from the facility.
AMS issued a RACT plan approval for the following facility in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County:
Philadelphia Prison System (8001 State Road, Philadelphia, PA 19136) for a 365 HP gas-fired chiller with Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction. Nox emissions form the chiller are limited to 2.0 gs/bhp-hr. The chiller must have a stack test every 5 years and records must be kept for all tests.

On August 14, 2015, Applicant requested a state water quality certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Project, as proposed would operate and maintain some segments of the existing, approximately 33-mile, Line 138 natural gas pipeline, consisting of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 16-inch pipeline, within an existing 50-foot right-of-way, where service is being abandoned. Columbia proposes to remove approximately 0.18 mile of exposed pipeline, two (2) residential tap consumers, two (2 ) meter stations, one (1) odorizer, one (1) siphon, five (5) ground valves and eight (8) mainline valves. Columbia plans to grout 28 road crossings to abandon in place.
Columbia also proposes to construct an approximate 0.65-mile, 2-inch lateral extension within the existing 50-foot wide Line 138 right-of-way (ROW) in order to maintain service to the Firm Transportation customer and their operations. The Firm Transportation customer is served from Line 138 through which service will be abandoned, Columbia proposes to maintain gas service to this customer by installing a lateral extension within the Line 138 ROW to connect with Lines 1804 and 10240. The lateral extension project will involve construction activities within the existing 50-foot wide ROW, acquisition of 50 feet of new ROW to connect the lateral to the Line 1804 and 10240 ROW, two (2) new isolation valves on Lines 1804 and 10240, and a contractor/staging yard all located in Somerset County Pennsylvania. The proposed lateral extension activities are herein referred to as the ''Lateral Construction Project''.
