Individuals intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must file a NOI to Remediate with DEP. A NOI to Remediate filed with DEP 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. An individual who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who 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 any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by DEP. Furthermore, an individual shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible individuals 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 NOI to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following identified site(s), 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 following specified date. During this comment period the municipality may request that the following identified individual, 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.

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has developed an integrated plan approval, State Operat-ing Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for DEP, 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 DEP received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, DEP'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 DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and telephone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Individuals 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 DEP'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.
Any individual wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, 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 DEP determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP 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.

03-185B: Vista Metals, Inc., 1024 East Smithfield Street, McKeesport, PA 15135, East Franklin Township, Armstrong County. Application received: August 17, 2021.
The Department of Environmental Protection intends to issue a plan approval to Vista Metals, Incorporated for changes to powdered metal processing equipment at their Kittanning Plant facility (189 Nolte Drive, Kittanning, PA 16201).
The plan approval would authorize the replacement of four existing ball mills (Source 104, Ball Mills) with two new attritors (Source 105, Attritors 6) and the initial operation of one associated powdered metal slurry dryer (Source ID 106). The Attritor milling process would be controlled by an existing dust collector during powdered metal loading. Heptane would be added to the process which is to occur in a covered water-cooled vessel. The dryer would heat the slurry after milling to remove the heptane. Heptane vapors would be captured using a vapor condensing solvent recovery system. The sources in this plan approval would primarily generate VOC (heptane) emissions. Loading of the attritors would also result in PM emissions. Emissions of VOC will be controlled by a solvent recovery system which is estimated to operate with over 99% control efficiency by the manufacturer (Wintek) given the loading scenario provided to them by Vista and the operational criteria prescribed. VOC emissions will be restricted to 0.26 lb/hr and 1.140 tpy. PM emissions from the dust collector will be limited to 0.02 grain/dscf.
This would remain a natural minor facility upon completion of the project. Public notice is obligatory for sources required to obtain a Plan Approval in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44. The Plan Approval will contain testing, recordkeeping, emission restriction, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(f)(1), all the pertinent documents regarding this application (applications, review memos, and draft approvals) are also available for review from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Meadville Regional DEP office (Air Quality). Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the DEP at (814) 332-6940.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(f)(2), a 30-day comment period, from the date of publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to Regional Air Quality Program Manager, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3494 and must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed plan approval [03-00185B: Vista Metals, Inc.] and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received.
All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.45, a person may oppose the proposed plan approval by filing a written protest with the Department's Northwest Region. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Eric A. Gustafson, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6819.

06-05160A: EPP Renewable Energy LLC, 1605 North Cedar Crest Boulevard, Allentown, PA 18104-2388, Cumru Township, Berks County. Application received: July 5, 2022. For the installation of an on-site landfill gas (LFG) to energy plant at the Western Berks Landfill (WBLF). The energy plant will consist of a gas treatment system and two (2) 2,233 bHP (1,600 kW) Caterpillar G3520C engines. Leftover gas present at a flow of 500 scfm or less from one or more of the engines will be combusted in the candlestick flare, owned and operated by WBLF. Potential emissions from the project are estimated to be: 133.7 tpy CO, 43.1 tpy NOx, 6.5 tpy PM/PM10/PM2.5, 35.0 tpy SOx, 6.5 tpy VOC, 18.8 tpy of a single HAP (formaldehyde), and 20.2 tpy of combined HAPs. 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 requirements (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, 40 CFR 62, Subpart OOO—Federal Plan Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced Construction On or Before July 17, 2014 and Have Not Been Modified or Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014, and 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ—Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines. 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.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (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 (DEP) 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 must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0. Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity. 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 § 77.522 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters DEP 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.
