Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Acknowledgment of notices of Intent to Remediate submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) requires the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate identifies a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must 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 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 the cleanup standards 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 the Department and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.

A re-evaluation of emissions has determined that VOC emissions from the wastewater treatment plant should be amended to 348 tons per year from the previous estimate of 276 tons per year. Although control costs will decrease, controls remain economically infeasible. RACT for the wastewater treatment has been determined to be operational as presently designed.
Technical problems encountered in the routing of the pulp plant vents to the No. 4 boiler have made this control option economically infeasible. RACT for the pulp plant vents has been determined to be operational as presently designed.
Installation and testing of the auxiliary boiler, steam injection to the turbine, and low NOx burners in the 4M paper machine have been completed and determined to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of Plan Approval 66-0001A and Compliance Permit CP-66-0001A.
