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.

Code §§ 127.44—127.46 that the Department of Environmental Protection (''Department'') intends to modify Air Quality Plan Approval: PA-04-00740A to incorporate emission reduction credits (''ERCs'') secured by Shell to comply with emission offsetting requirements. Shell has also requested approval for interprecursor trading between NOx and VOC for the use of secured NOx ERCs as ozone precursors to comply with VOC offsetting requirements. There are no new or modified air contamination sources, emission increases, or regulatory requirements associated with this proposed modification.
The Department will hold a public hearing on Thursday, December 15, 2016, from 6:00-8:00 PM at Central Valley High School, 160 Baker Road Extension, Monaca, PA 15061, to take oral testimony regarding this Air Quality Plan Approval modification and interprecursor trading. Notice of this hearing is separately published in this issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Shell is currently constructing a petrochemicals complex on the site formerly occupied by Horsehead Corporation's Monaca Zinc Smelter plant in Potter and Center Townships, Beaver County. The primary air emission sources under construction are seven ethane cracking furnaces, one ethylene manufacturing line, two gas phase and one slurry technology polyethylene manufacturing lines, three combined cycle turbines with duct burners (combined 250 MW generating capacity), one low pressure thermal incinerator, two high pressure ground flares, one multipoint ground flare, and one emergency elevated flare. Polyethylene pellets will be the final manufactured product of this facility.
In accordance with Section C. Conditions # 037 and # 038 of PA-04-00740A, and 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—127.217 Shell is required to secure 400 tons of NOx, 620 tons of VOC, and 159 tons of PM2.5 ERCs in order to offset potential emissions which triggered nonattainment new source review requirements under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.208(2) and § 127.206(o), the Department proposes to authorize the incorporation of 159 tons of PM2.5 ERCs, 107 tons of VOC ERCs, 513 tons of NOx ERCs for VOC, and 400 tons of NOx ERCs originally generated by the shutdown of Horsehead Corporation's G.F. Weaton Power Plant and Monaca Zinc Smelter; and FirstEnergy Solutions Corporation's Armstrong Power Plant Unit 1, Armstrong Power Plant Unit 2, and Mitchell Power Plant Unit 3. All emission offsetting requirements will be satisfied by this plan approval modification prior to commencing operation.
A person may oppose the proposed plan approval modification by filing a written protest with the Department through Alan Binder via the U.S. Postal Service to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222; email to abinder@pa.gov; or fax to 412.442.4194. Additional written comments may also be submitted. Each protest or set of written comments must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed modified Plan Approval (PA-04-00740A) and a concise statement of the objections to the plan approval modification and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
Shell's Plan Approval modification application, the Department's Air Quality Review Memorandum, and the Proposed Modified Air Quality Plan Approval for this project are available for review by any interested party online at http://www.dep.pa.gov/About/Regional/SouthwestRegion/Community%20Information/Pages/Shell.aspx and at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. To request a review of the Shell Plan Approval modification application, a person may contact the Department at 412.442.4000.

The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC indicates that the air contamination sources to be constructed will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including 40 CFR Part 60 Subparts JJJJ and KKKK, Part 63 Subpart ZZZZ, and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 Subchapter E, as well as the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction.
The emission from each proposed source included in this project will not exceed the following limits: Combustion Turbine: 32.9 TPY NOx, 23.7 TPY CO, 3.9 TPY PM2.5, 2.5 TPY VOCs, 0.7 TPY SOx, 0.2 TPY formaldehyde. Emergency Generator: 2.0 g/bhp-hr NOx, 1.3 g/bhp-hr CO, and 0.3 g/bhp-hr VOCs.
In addition to the emission limitations, the following is a brief description of the conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval in order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements.
1. (a) The permittee shall construct the new SER (Special Engine Request) Mars 100 turbine as provided in the supplemental application material dated May 23, 2016. The new SER Mars 100 turbine shall be designed to meet NOx emissions, expressed as NO2 of 9 parts per million (ppm), by volume, dry basis, corrected to 15% oxygen.
