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.

AIR QUALITY
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.

08-00010N: Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. (1 Hawes Street, Towanda, PA 18848) for the installation of a dust collector and HEPA filter on the existing Calciner # 7, to replace the current emissions control system consisting of a cyclone collector followed by a wet scrubber, at the Towanda Facility located in Towanda Borough, Bradford County.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. indicates that the control devices to be installed will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed installations.
There will be no increase in the emissions from Calciner # 7 or associated material handling equipment as a result of the proposed project. 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:
The total emissions of particulate matter (both filterable and condensable) from the exhaust of the HEPA filter shall not exceed 0.47 lbs/hr and 2.04 tons/year. Calciner # 7 shall only be fired on natural gas or propane. The dust collector and HEPA filter shall have a combined control efficiency for filterable particulate matter of at least 99.5%. No more than 270 kg/hr of tungsten oxide may be produced in Calciner # 7. The dust collector and HEPA filter shall each be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure drop across the control device. The permittee shall record the pressure drop across the dust collector and the HEPA filter at least once per operating day. The permittee shall maintain records, including supporting calculations, as necessary to demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter emissions and hourly throughput limitations. These records shall be kept on site for a minimum of five years and shall be presented to the Department upon request. The permittee shall keep on hand sufficient quantity of spare fabric collector bags and filters for all collectors and filters at the facility in order to be able to immediately replace any bag or filter requiring replacement. Any air compressor used to provide compressed air to any of the collectors or filters shall be equipped with an air dryer and an oil trap.
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 specification of the application for Plan Approval 08-00010N, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into State Only Operating Permit 08-00010 pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
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. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-0550.

46-0302: Susquehanna International Group, LLP (401 E. City Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004) for the operation and maintenance of three emergency generator sets (two existing, one new; each with a diesel fuel-fired engine) at its data center/headquarters, which is located in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County. The facility is a non-Title V facility.
Based on a maximum operating schedule of 440 hours per year for each emergency generator set, the potential nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission rate for the facility is less than 25 tons/yr, the major facility threshold for the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The engines of the existing emergency generator sets are exempt from the provisions of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ), pursuant to 40 CFR 63.6585(f)(2). The engine of the new emergency generator set is subject to the provisions of Federal Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII).

03-00027 GenOn Northeast Management Co. (121 Champion Way, Canonsburg, PA 15317-5817) Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) plan for GenOn Northeast Management Company located in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT II plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Keystone Generating Station owned and operated by GenOn Northeast Management Company located at 313 Keystone Drive, in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT II approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 2008 NAAQS for ozone. Other sources at the facility meet the presumptive RACT II requirements of 25 Pa. Code Section 129.97.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination will be incorporated into a revised operating permit (TV-03-00027) for the facility. After the public participation requirements of 40 CFR 51.102 are met, including public hearings to be held on the dates and at the location advertised below, the relevant RACT II requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal.
The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the RACT II determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:

09-00223: Morton Salt, Inc. (formerly International Salt Co., LLC; 12 Solar Drive, Fairless Hills, PA 19030), for the incorporation of Plan Approval No. 09-0223 for the truck unloading and loading stations, screw and belt conveyors, bucket elevators, scalping and product screens, crusher, fluid bed dryer, weighing and bagging operations, and bulk salt and finished product storage areas at its salt processing, packaging, and distribution facility located in Falls Township, Bucks County.
All process equipment and the bulk salt storage area are located within the same building (referred to as the ''Process Building''), and particulate matter (PM) emissions from all process equipment except the fluid bed dryer are controlled by dust collectors that exhaust into the indoor atmosphere. PM emissions from the fluid bed dryer are routed to an associated high-efficiency multi-cyclone, which exhausts into the outdoor atmosphere. No significant physical changes have occurred at the facility since the Plan Approval was modified in 2016.
The potential (i.e., pre-control) PM emission rate for the fluid bed dryer is approximately 5,800 tons/yr. Based on a guaranteed (from the manufacturer) minimum filterable PM removal efficiency for the associated high-efficiency multi-cyclone of 99.895%, the maximum post-control PM emission rates for the fluid bed dryer are 1.39 lbs/hr and 6.09 tons/yr. Since the high-efficiency multi-cyclone is required to ensure that PM emissions from the fluid bed dryer do not exceed 100 tons/yr, the major facility threshold for the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area, the facility is categorized as Synthetic Minor.
In 2017, Morton Salt, Inc., performed the following source testing for the facility:
• A stack test for the fluid bed dryer to demonstrate compliance with a filterable PM emission concentration restriction of 0.009 grains per dry standard cubic foot (gr/dscf), as measured at the stack of the associated high-efficiency multi-cyclone. The results of the stack test (0.0056 gr/dscf, 0.700 lbs/hr) demonstrated compliance with the filterable PM emission concentration restriction.
• A fugitive PM emission test for all fugitive emission points of the Process Building to demonstrate compliance with the prohibition on fugitive emissions from process equipment, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 123.1. The results of the fugitive PM emission test demonstrated compliance with the prohibition on fugitive emissions from process equipment for all fugitive emission points except one (the truck loading station), from which the average opacity observed over a 30-minute period was 2.0%. (Note: As fugitive emissions were observed at only one fugitive emission point, and complied with the opacity restriction of 7% for fugitive emissions from building openings (40 CFR 60.672(e)(1)), DEP considers them to be of minor significance with respect to causing air pollution.)
The bucket elevators, belt conveyors, scalping and product screens, crusher, weighing and bagging operations, and truck loading station are subject to all applicable provisions of the Federal Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO), and 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 (relating to prohibition of certain fugitive emissions). Since this equipment exhausts into the indoor atmosphere of the Process Building, the dust collectors are not subject to the visible emissions or bag leak detection system requirements specified in 40 CFR 60.674(c)-(d), respectively.
The SOOP will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

Plan Approval Application No: 48-00111A. Notice is hereby given under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b)(5) and 127.424, that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval 48-00111A for Slate Belt Heat Recovery Center, LLC (the Permittee), 435 Williams Court, Baltimore, MD 21220-2888 to construct and operate a biosolids processing facility which will be sited on a parcel of land owned by Grand Central Sanitary Landfill (GCSL), in Plainfield Township, Northampton County, as described in the Permittee's May 18, 2018 Plan Approval Application and any other subsequent supplemental submissions.
Plan Approval No. 48-00111A is for the construction and operation of a biosolids processing facility consisting of following equipment: Installation of a thermal oil heater, thermal drying equipment to facilitate processing biosolids into a Class A dried biosolids product, product conveyance and storage equipment, a two-stage odor control system and a baghouse.
The proposed thermal oil heater will be designed to utilize natural gas or excess/available landfill gas as a fuel. The total maximum heat demand of the supplemental thermal oil heater is currently estimated to be 50.0 MMBtu/hr to support the dryer system without the waste heat.
The thermal dryer process will consist of two (2) fully enclosed indirectly heated belt dryers in parallel, each with a biosolids input capacity of approximately 200 wet tons per day, for a facility total throughput of 400 wet tons containing an average of approximately 21% solids per day. Sludge will be pressed to a granular shape by a roller or swivel press and dropped down onto the top belt of the drier in a uniform pile. Biosolids will be conveyed from a receiving/storage tank into an enclosed belt dryer system that circulates warm air to evaporate moisture from the biosolids.
The belt dryer system will be a potential odor source primarily of ammonia associated with the off-gassing from the heat treatment during the drying process. The belt dryers are fully enclosed and operate in a negative air pressure manner, such that all off-gassing during the thermal treatment of the biosolids is contained within the dryer system itself. The bulk of the airstream is recycled in the dryer system after moisture, containing ammonia, is condensed and transported to storage. There will be a small saturated airstream removed from each of the belt dryers, which will include the evaporated moisture and ammonia. This airstream is routed to a condenser that serves to knock out the majority of the moisture from the process, with the remaining air stream routed to the odor control system, which is designed to reduce ammonia.
The facility will include enclosed receiving units, covered aboveground process wastewater storage tank, covered product conveyance system, and covered product storage tanks. The biosolids receiving/storage process and waste water storage tank will be a potential odor source primarily of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) associated with biological activity during material storage. Potential odors from the receiving/storage process will be routed to the odor control system.
The product storage silo will have a dust collection system maintaining negative pressure on the headspace of the silo, which will be routed to the odor control system.
The wastewater storage tank has the potential to be a minor source of odor related to the ammonia (NH3). Flow from the covered wastewater storage tank will be routed to the odor control system.
The dust collector will remove dust from the enclosed product storage and conveyance operations. This control option is custom designed for this proposed dryer process and is expected to have a dust removal efficiency of at least 90%.
The company has proposed packed bed wet scrubbers to control odors associated with NH3 and H2S from the sludge drying operations. The system will be designed to remove 99% of H2S & NH3.
Based on 8,760 hours of operation, as worst-case scenario the following potential emissions are expected from the facility.

The facility will be subject to 25 Pa. Code § 127.12 (a) (5) Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements. The visible emission will be equal to or less than 10 % at any time. The company shall be subject to and comply with 25 Pa. Code § 123.31 for malodorous emissions.
The Plan Approval and subsequent Operating Permit will include testing, monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the sources operating within all applicable air quality requirements and regulations.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval, may submit the information to the address shown below. The Department will consider any written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Each written comment must contain the following: name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments; identification of the proposed Plan Approval No. 48-00111A and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or any objections to the issuance of the Plan Approval.
