Preamble 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302, 303, 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 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. Persons intending to use the background, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, 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 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 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 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)(l)(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 sites identified as 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. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (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 public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Notice of Intent to Issue
NSR Operating Permit
Permit No. 36-05015B
Lancaster County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve modifications of a Direct Injection (DI) Foam Processing operation for Dart Container Corporation, 60 East Main Street, Leola, PA 17540.
The Dart Container Corporation is a major volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting facility as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 121.1. The proposed increase in emissions from the modifications will subject the facility to the major New Source Review (NSR) requirements of 25 Pa. Code, Subchapter E.
The proposed modifications to the DI Foam Processing operation are contained in the NSR Plan Approval application no. 36-05015B. The preliminary NSR determination will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for review. When finally approved, the NSR determination will be incorporated into the facility's existing Title V operating permit.
The Department also intends to approve the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) Plan as proposed in the NSR Plan Approval application providing control technology consistent with the lowest achievable emission rate obtained by the class or category of sources as proposed in the application.
The preliminary LAER determination for the DI Foam Processing operations will be the use of an initial blowing agent charge rate of 4.5%, capturing of emissions from the extruder dies, fluff/grinding and repelletization operations, the use of a Permanent Total Enclosure (PTE) for the capturing of roll storage emissions and the use of Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs).
Based on the information provided by the applicant and Departmental analysis, the following is an estimate of the VOC emissions from the DI foam processing operations based on the projected use of 18 extruders:
Process Emissions (lbs/hr) Annual Emissions (tpy) Extrusion 97.2 320.2 Roll Storage 77.0 16.6 Thermoforming 46.2 199.5 Fluff/Grinding 124.3 26.8 Repelletization 64.8 14.0
Furthermore, the facility will be required to purchase Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) in the amount of 752 tons.
The facility will be subject to the following NSR Plan Approval conditions:
General Requirements
1. This plan approval constitutes a New Source Review (NSR) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) determination for volatile organic compound emissions as per 25 Pa. Code, Subchapter E.
2. Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) shall be purchased to offset the total of the net increase in the potential-to-emit Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions not captured and controlled by the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs).
Emission Limitations
3. All volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions captured from the extruder dies, the fluff grinders, the repelletization process and the roll storage area shall be reduced at a minimum destruction efficiency of 95%, or a maximum of 10 ppmdv, as propane at the outlet, whichever is more stringent.
4. The VOC emissions from the DI Foam Extrusion Process shall be limited to 335 tons per year based on a 12 month rolling total. This emission limitation shall apply until the completion of the new roll storage area.
5. Upon completion of the new roll storage area, the VOC emissions from the DI Foam Extrusion Process shall be limited to 586 tons per year based on a 12 month rolling total. As required by 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(3), the permittee shall purchase Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) in the amount of 752 tons.
6. The charging rate of the isopentane shall be limited to a maximum of 4.5%.
7. No person shall permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of particulate matter from the dust collection systems, at any time, in a manner that the concentration of particulate matter in the effluent gas exceeds .04 grains per dry standard cubic foot.
Operating Requirements
8. Volatile Organic Compound emissions from the DI Foam Extrusion Process shall be incinerated at a minimum temperature of 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 0.3 second prior to their emission into the outdoor atmosphere.
9. The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers shall achieve and maintain the above temperature before any process gases are allowed to enter the combustion chamber.
10. The Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers and fabric collectors shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
Testing Requirements
11. Within 60 days after achieving the maximum production rate, but no later than 180 days after initial start-up, the owner or operator shall conduct a performance test of the Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers in accordance with the Department's Source Testing Manual and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139. The tests shall be performed at near maximum extruder capacity rates in the measurement of actual volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions including the following:
a. Simultaneous measurement of the inlet and outlet of the RTO for determining destruction efficiency.
b. Gas flow at the inlet and outlet of the RTO.
c. Temperature and moisture content at the inlet and outlet of the RTO.
12. Within 60 days after achieving the maximum production rate, but no later than 180 days after initial start-up, the owner or operator shall conduct Capture Efficiency (CE) testing for the extruder die hoods in accordance with the EPA's ''Guidelines for Determining Capture Efficiency,'' dated January 9, 1994, and the EPA's Method 204.
13. A test protocol including a sketch with dimensions including the location of sampling ports and other data to ensure the collection of representative samples shall be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Program Manager.
