LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

HAZARDOUS WASTE VARIANCE APPLICATION
Application(s) for variance in accordance with Solid Waste Management Act (35 P.S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003)
Central Office: Division of Hazardous Waste, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 14th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
Nulife Glass NY, Inc., 3213 Middle Road, Dunkirk, NY 14048: In accordance with the Solid Waste Management Act, and the regulations promulgated thereto, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to deny an application submitted by Nulife Glass NY (Nulife Glass) for a conditional variance from classification as solid waste for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) that are stored by Nulife Glass NY in three warehouses in Erie County and one in Mercer County. Nulife Glass operates a furnace in Dunkirk, NY. The proposed denial applies only to the warehouse facilities located in Pennsylvania.
This notice announces the opportunity for interested parties to review and comment on the variance application prior to a final decision by the Department. The application was submitted to the Department in accordance with Federal hazardous waste regulations at 40 CFR 260.30(a) (relating to variances from classification as a solid waste), incorporated by reference at 25 Pa. Code § 260a.1 (relating to incorporation by reference, purpose, scope and applicability). This variance provision is applicable to those materials that are accumulated speculatively without sufficient amounts being recycled when, among other criteria, the applicant can demonstrate that sufficient amounts of the material will be recycled or transferred for recycling in the following year.
The specific material for which Nulife Glass has requested a variance is, without limitation: used, intact cathode ray tubes; used, broken cathode ray tubes; intact and broken glass removed from used cathode ray tubes; and glass removed from used cathode ray tubes destined for a lead smelter after processing (collectively, ''cathode ray tube materials''). According to its variance application, in Nulife Glass's recycling process, the company receives whole cathode ray tubes (''CRTs''), processes the CRT into its component parts which are panel glass, funnel glass, and metal. The metal is recycled while the panel glass and the funnel glass undergo secondary processing a part of which involves furnace operations for leaded panel glass at its Dunkirk NY facility, and other miscellaneous product recycling and waste generation.
Speculative accumulation is described in 40 CFR 261.1(c)(8). Materials that are accumulated prior to recycling are not speculatively accumulated if a material has a feasible means of being recycled and the amount of materials that is recycled during the calendar year equals at least 75 percent of the materials by weight or volume accumulated since the beginning of the period. Currently, there are approximately 17 million pounds of CRT materials stored in Pennsylvania warehouses, largely consisting of CRT funnel glass. Storage at these facilities began in May, 2014.
The conditions for meeting the variance may be found under 40 CFR 260.31(a). Without an approved variance for the CRT materials currently being stored in warehouses in Erie and Mercer counties, the CRT materials stored by Nulife Glass would be regulated as hazardous waste.
Standards and criteria for variances from classification as a solid waste
After careful evaluation, the Department has tentatively determined that Nulife Glass does not meet the requirements for approval of a variance from classification as a solid waste.
The CRT materials stored in warehouses in Erie and Mercer counties have been speculatively accumulated without a feasible means of recycling the material or the appropriate amounts being recycled within the relevant time period(s). If the variance is denied, the CRT materials will be considered hazardous waste.
Some of the issues not satisfactorily addressed by Nulife Glass in its variance application include: (1) The manner in which the material is expected to be recycled, when the material is expected to be recycled, and whether this expected disposition or recycling is likely to occur (for example, because of past practice, market factors, the nature of the material, or contractual arrangements for recycling); (2) The reason(s) that the applicant has accumulated the material for one or more years without recycling 75 percent of the weight or volume accumulated at the beginning of the year; and (3) The quantity of material expected to be generated and accumulated before the material is recycled. Nulife Glass has also failed to provide adequate assurances that it has the financial ability to properly dispose of the speculatively accumulated CRT glass in the event that Nulife Glass is required to do so.
Persons wishing to comment on Nulife Glass' variance request and the Department's proposed decision to deny the request are invited to submit comments by (Month, Day, 2016—30-days), to the Department at the following address. For more detailed information on the specific aspects of Nulife Glass' variance request, to review a copy of the request or to submit comments, contact M. Thomas Mellott; Department of Environmental Protection; Division of Hazardous Waste Management; P.O. Box 8471; Harrisburg, PA 17105; (717) 787-6239; mtmellott@pa.gov. Comments received within the comment period will be considered by the Department in making the final decision regarding Nulife Glass' request. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Department as specified previously. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

22-05024C: Penn State University, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center (500 University Drive, Hershey, PA 17033) for the construction of a Combined Heat & Power (CHP) project at the Medical Center located in Derry Township, Dauphin County. The expected increases in facility emissions as a result of the proposed project are 8.5 tpy of CO, 48.9 tpy of NOx, 5.0 tpy of PM, 4.4 tpy of SO2, 7.6 tpy of VOCs, and 1.1 tpy of HAPs. The facility is a State Only facility. DEP's review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the air contamination sources as constructed or modified will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, and the Federal requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If, after the project has been implemented, the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for plan approval, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into an Operating Permit pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E, the Department proposes to authorize the transfer and use of the following ERCs:
(a) 174.0 tons per year (tpy) of VOC ERCs for offset purposes from Element Markets, LLC, Houston, Texas. The 174.0 tpy of VOC ERCs were generated by the source reduction related to wood furniture surface coating sources at Bush Industries, Inc., Orange County, Middletown, NY on May 1, 1992. The ERCs were certified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and entered in the NYSDEC's ERC Registry system on December 31, 1996.
(b) 94.0 tons per year (tpy) of VOC ERCs for offset purposes from Garden State Tanning, Inc. a.k.a. GST AutoLeather, Inc. (GST), Washington County, Maryland. The 94.0 tpy of VOC ERCs were generated by the shutdown of sources at GST on January 1, 2007. The ERCs were certified by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and entered into the MDE's ERC Registry system on February 12, 2014.
There are no increases in facility emissions as a result of the proposed activity. The proposed facility qualifies as a Title V facility. Based on the above findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed transfer and use of ERCs.

08-00001B: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (PO Box 2511, Houston, TX 77252-2511) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) for plan approval to construct a natural gas-fired combustion turbine which will be coupled to a centrifugal compressor, as part of the Susquehanna West Project, at the Compressor Station 319 facility located in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County. The proposed construction also includes the ancillary equipment for operation of the new natural gas compression process, such as valves, flanges, connectors, etc.
The proposed combustion turbine is a Solar® Titan 130-20502S equipped with SoLoNOxTM technology, a lean premix type of combustion technology, also known as Dry Low NOx Combustion technology. The SoLoNOx technology is described to be capable of achieving NOx emission of 9 ppmvd at 15% O2. TGP also proposes to equip the exhaust of the source with an add-on device that employs oxidation catalyst technology to control volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including formaldehyde and carbon monoxide (CO) in the turbine's exhaust. The source is subject to the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The proposed combustion turbine is also subject to the Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK. The proposed construction also triggers the Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for which Construction, Modification, or Reconstruction Commenced after September 18, 2015 as codified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa. The collection of fugitive emissions components is subject to the leak detection and repair requirements pursuant to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa and BAT. The potential to emit of the proposed combustion turbine is 37.2 tons per year (tpy) for NOx (expressed as NO2), 51.9 tpy for CO, 9.2 tpy for SOx (expressed as SO2), 4.4 tpy for PM10 and PM2.5, 3.1 for VOCs, 2.0 for HAPs, and 1.2 for formaldehyde.
PA DEP's review of the information submitted by the facility indicates that the proposed construction will comply with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements, including the BAT requirements. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements. The plan approval includes emission restrictions for NOx, CO, VOCs, SOx, PM10, PM2.5, and formaldehyde, as follows: 9—15 ppm for NOx; 2 ppm for CO; 3 ppm for VOCs (as propane); 0.028 lb/MMBtu for SOx; 0.0066 lb/MMBtu for PM10 and PM2.5; and 0.0017 lb/MMBtu for formaldehyde. Stack testing on the proposed turbine for these pollutants is required no later than 180 days from the date of startup. The facility is required to continuously monitor certain turbine parameters that indicate whether or not the unit is operating continuously in low-NOx mode during all periods of operation except those in which the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and startup and shutdown operations. Additionally, the inlet and outlet oxidation catalyst temperatures and differential pressure across the oxidation catalyst are required to be continuously monitored. The plan approval also includes recordkeeping and reporting conditions. The facility will be also required to monitor on-site equipment for leaks on a monthly basis and perform leak detection and repair program quarterly.
Based on the findings presented above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions including the specifications in the application, the plan approval will be incorporated into a State-Only operating permit which will be required to be filed no later than 120 days upon request by the Department. All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's North Central Regional office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
