Issued RACT II Plan Approval No. IP16-000269. On April 24, 2020 AMS issued a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT II) Plan Approval for Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining and Marketing LLC—Refinery and Tank Farm, located in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. While the refinery processes have been out of operation since June 2019 and are not expected to re-start, AMS was required to proceed with the PES RACT II evaluation.
Also, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91—129.100, AMS has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT II plan to be submitted as part of the PA State Implementation Plan (SIP) for PES's chemical plant.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 2008 and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. The proposed RACT plan, if approved by DEP, will be issued as a RACT Pan Approval and incorporated into the facility's Title V operating permit (V06-016) through modification or renewal. The relevant RACT II requirements will also be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval and incorporation into Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan. Requirements that are not part of the RACT II approval will be excluded from the SIP submittal.
The proposed RACT II requirements for this facility that are proposed to be submitted to the EPA as part of the SIP, are that the # 3 Boilerhouse, certain Process Heaters, Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units, Cooling Towers, and Marine Loading shall comply with the following:

TVOP-65-00853: ArcelorMittal Monessen, LLC (345 Donner Avenue, Monessen, PA 15062). In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.431, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is providing notice that on April 22, 2020, DEP issued a renewed Title V Operating Permit to ArcelorMittal Monessen, LLC for the continued operation of a furnace coke plant, known as the Monessen Plant, located in the City of Monessen, Westmoreland County. The renewed TVOP also incorporates the applicable requirements of RACT II into the permit.
The Monessen Plant is a by-product recovery, coal coking plant that produces furnace coke. Coke produced is used by ArcelorMittal in blast furnaces at other facilities. The main emission sources at Monessen Plant are two coke batteries (37 and 19 slot type ovens, respectively), each exhausting to an individual combustion stack, two excess coke oven gas (COG) flares, and two Boilers (143 MMBtu/hr each, COG and NG). The facility also generates charging, pushing, quenching, underfiring, door leak, top side, and soaking emissions from the coke batteries, as well as emissions from a coke by-product plant, COG desulfurization unit, 900-bp emergency diesel engine, and plant roads. Emissions are controlled by desulfurization of the coke oven gas prior to its combustion, as well as LDAR and EPA MACT mandated monitoring and repair procedures.
Sources at the facility are subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A—General Provisions, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Db—Standards of Performance for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart A—General Provisions, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart L—National Emission Standard for Benzene Emissions from Coke By-Product Recovery Plants, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart V—National Emission Standard for Equipment Leaks (Fugitive Emission Sources), 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart FF—National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A—General Provisions, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart L—National Emission Standards for Coke Oven Batteries, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ—National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Station- ary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145 (Air Resources), including 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100 RACT II. The emission restriction, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions of the TVOP have been derived from the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 52, 60, 61, 63, 70, and 98 and 25 Pa. Code Article III, Chapters 121—145.
Furthermore, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has approved a RACT II Plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the aforementioned facility.
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, 2008, and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
The proposed amendments to the RACT II determination, have been incorporated into the renewed and revised Operating Permit (TVOP-65-00853) for the facility. The relevant RACT II requirements have been 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Hazardous Sites Cleanup Under the Act of October 18, 1988, Notice of Reopening the Administrative Record.
Kwiatkowski Landfill, Hickory Township, Lawrence County. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), 35 P.S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305, has decided to reopen the Administrative Record for the Kwiatkowski Landfill (Site) to document response costs. The Site is located approximately one mile east of the City of New Castle in Hickory Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, on the north side of County Line Road.
The site consists of an approximately 84-acre abandoned mixed waste landfill, currently owned by the estates of brothers, Rudolph and Chester Kwiatkowski. An industrial area is located at the main entrance to the site. The main disposal area is located 100 feet west of the industrial area and included three waste disposal impoundments which are known as Operable Unit 1.
In 1985, 1987 and 1993 the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) conducted environmental investigations at the Site that included sampling the wastes and sediments in Operable Unit 1. In 1995, 1996, and 2004, the Department also investigated and sampled surface wastes and surface water in Operable Unit 1 at the Site.
These investigations revealed elevated levels of chlorinated solvents, and aromatic compounds. Specifically, soils and sediments in Operable Unit 1 contained high concentrations trichloroethylene, xylene, 1,1,2,2-tetra-chloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethene, 1,2-dichloropropane, benzene, bromodichloromethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, methyl chloride, tetra-chloroethene, toluene, vinyl chloride, 2,4-dinitrophenol, bis(2-chloroethyl)ether, hexachlorobenzene, m-nitro-aniline, N-nitroso-N-propylamine, and pentachloro-phenol. Several heavy metals, including lead and arsenic were also detected over the Statewide Health Standards for Residential Direct Contact pursuant to the Pennsylvania Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2).
These elements and chemical compounds are ''hazardous substances'' pursuant to Section 103 of the HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.103. The presence of these hazardous substances in Site surface water, sediment, and waste and soil constituted a ''release'' and ''threatened release'' of hazardous substances at the Site pursuant to Section 103 of the HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.103.
In 2013 and 2014, the Department performed an Interim Response within Operable Unit 1 pursuant to Section 501 of the HSCA 35 P.S. § 6020.501 to protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment. The Interim Response included the stabilization and excavation of waste, off-site disposal of waste material, clean soil backfill, site grading, and re-vegetation of the disturbed areas.
Pursuant to Section 506(g) of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.506(g), the Department proposes to reopen the Administrative Record for Kwiatkowski Landfill to document response costs incurred during the 2013—2014 Interim Response Action. Documents proposed to be added to the Administrative Record include: Interim Response Public Hearing Transcript, Statement of Decision for the Interim Response, Interim Response Completion Report, Notices to Potentially Responsible Parties, Response Cost Documentation and file documentation of potentially responsible parties.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(h) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the response actions and costs for the Site, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Telephone or email a request to review the administrative record at 814-332-6648 or ckosinski@pa.gov.
The administrative record will be open for comment from May 9, 2020 until July 7, 2020. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only. Comments should be sent to Mr. Colin Kosinski, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office via email at ckosinski@pa.gov.
