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.

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.
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.

15-0105: Buckeye Pipe Line Transportation, LLC (8 S Malin Road, Malvern, PA 19355) for its Malvern Station located in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, a pipeline breakout station for petroleum products. The Malvern Station is a major facility for volatile organic compounds (VOC). The company has requested authorization to remove emission and throughput limits on groups or individual tanks while maintaining a single facility wide throughput limit for gasoline. The company provided calculations for a maximum case of a throughput of 1,000,000,000 gallons per 12-month rolling period and actual emissions and throughputs for the years 2015—2018. Emissions calculated for the maximum case, using methodology in EPA's AP-42 Chapter 7, Liquid Storage Tanks, were 53 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC) per 12-month rolling period. No changes to the tanks are proposed that would increase emissions. Of the five affected tanks, four store gasoline and are subject to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart BBBBBB, and one stores petroleum distillates. Two tanks are subject to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Kb and all are subject to 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.56, 129.59 and 129.62. However, the plan approval has not triggered new requirements.

08-00058A: Bradford County Real Estate Partners LLC (111 West 19th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10011) for the construction of a liquified natural gas (LNG) production facility consisting of two gas-fired compression turbines each rated at 509 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, three gas-fired turbine electric generators each rated at 142 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, two gas-fired steam boilers each rated at 58.2 MMBtu/hr controlled with selective catalytic reduction and an oxidation catalyst, one gas-fired regeneration heater rated at 36.6 MMBtu/hr, one thermal oxidizer rated at 42.8 MMBtu/hr, with bypass vent stack to control emissions from the acid gas removal system, and one multipoint ground flare rated at 2.6 MMBtu/hr designed to combust purge gas from the LNG storage tank and truck loadout system (as needed), fugitive vapor emissions from equipment leaks (i.e., valves, flanges, and seals) and fugitive emissions from facility roads, two diesel engines each rated 4423 bhp for emergency generators each rated at 3.0 MW, and two diesel firewater pumps each rated at 700 hp at the proposed BCRP/Natural Gas Processing Plant facility located in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County. The project also carries identification under New Fortress Energy.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department's) review of the information submitted by the company indicates that the air contamination sources will comply with all regulatory requirements, including monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, and pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, 40 CFR 63.6580 through 63.6675; the Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219; the Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines, 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420; the Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for which Construction, Modification or Reconstruction Commenced After September 18, 2015, 40 CFR 60.5360a through 60.5499a; the Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, 40 CFR 60.40c through 60.48c; Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting, 40 CFR Part 98 Subparts A and D; 25 Pa. Code Chapter 123 and 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 emissions from all of the sources at the facility included in this project will not exceed the following limits: 95.90 TPY nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2), 90.04 TPY carbon monoxide (CO), 35.57 TPY volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 83.25 TPY sulfur oxides (SOx, expressed as SO2), 99.67 TPY total particulate matter (filterable plus condensable), 99.67 TPY particulate matter equal to or less than 10 microns (PM-10), 99.60 TPY particulate matter equal to or less than 2.5 microns (PM-2.5), 8.77 TPY hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), 4.55 TPY any single HAP, 49.02 TPY ammonia, 24.56 TPY sulfur acid (H2SO4), and 1,107,670 TPY greenhouse gases (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent, CO2e).
In addition to the emission limitations, the following is a brief description of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval in order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements: limitations on NOx, CO, SOx, VOC, HAP, ammonia slip, formaldehyde, H2SO4, and PM/PM10/PM2.5 emissions ppmvd at 15% O2 (or lb/MMBtu), lb/hr, and tpy; records of fuel usage, hours operated, hours of startups and shutdowns, source-level emissions calculations and facility-wide emissions records; startup and shutdown limitations; installation of pressure differential gauges and control device inlet temperature monitors; CEMS for NOx and CO emissions on the turbines and boilers; records of hours of operation and emissions calculations for the fire pump engine and emergency engine; emissions limits for the boilers and regeneration heater; fuel usage and emissions records for the boilers regeneration heater; work practice and monitoring requirements for the thermal oxidizer and ground flare; emissions records and fuel/throughput records for the thermal oxidizer and ground flare, quarterly LDAR and daily walk-around inspections. The facility is a State Only facility. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specifications of the application for Plan Approval 08-00058A, the applicants will subsequently apply for a State Only Operating Permit in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Subchapter F.
All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

The potential emissions from the facility were calculated based on 1,200 hours of operation (PM-10 less than 5 TPY. The potential emissions from the dryer based on 1,200 hours of operations are 9.10 TPY CO and 1.58 TPY NOx with much smaller amounts of VOC, PM, and SOx emissions based on the use of natural gas or propane. Since typically dryer usage is much less than 1,200 hours, the actual emissions from combustion are much less.

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.
