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 standard, 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 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 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)(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 sites identified 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 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears.

AIR QUALITY
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.
Notice is hereby given that 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 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 Approve Plan Approval Application #PA-30-072C Notice is hereby given, under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44, that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval to Consol Pennsylvania Coal Co. for modification of the Bailey Mine Complex Coal Preparation Plant located in Richhill Township, Greene County as described in its application. Based on the information provided by the applicant, and on the Department's analysis of that information, this modification in operation will result in emissions that shall not exceed 280 tons of VOC per consecutive 12-month period from the Wash Plants and 158.9 tons per consecutive 12-month period of particulate matter from the Material Handling and Transfer process (of that amount 72.40 tons per consecutive 12-month period are PM10). These emissions in conjunction with other PSD increment consuming sources, require allocation of 32.1% of the annual and 86.8% of 24-hour PM10 increment available in the area of the maximum impact of the source. Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address below.
In order to assure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following conditions on the Plan Approval.
General Conditions:
1. This Plan Approval is for the modification of the Wash Plant to increase the plant capacity to 41.3 MMton per consecutive 12-month period of raw coal at the coal preparation facility owned by Consol Pennsylvania Coal Company (CONSOL) located at the Bailey Mining Complex Preparation Plant, Richhill Township, Greene County.
2. This Plan Approval supersedes Conditions No. 1, No. 8 and No. 15 of Plan Approval PA-30-072B. Plan Approval PA-30-072B is attached for reference.
3. This approval to construct/modify shall become invalid if: (1) construction is not commenced (as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(8)) within 18 months after the date of this approval; or, (2) if construction is discontinued for a period of 18 months or more; or, (3) construction is not completed within a reasonable time.
4. The facility is permitted to operate 8,760 hours per year.
5. This construction/modification is subject to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206(d)(1) and (2) and other applicable provisions of Subchapter E of Chapter 127 for New Source Review. The plant may not process in excess of 27 MMTPY of raw coal until the required emission reduction credits are obtained by CONSOL and a full and detailed accounting of the credits is provided to the Department at the address noted.
6. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(3), each modification to a facility shall offset in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201 and 127.211, the total of the net increase in potential to emit.
7. CONSOL is required to obtain 129 tons of VOC emission reduction credits for the Wash Plant modification.
8. Conditions for the Wash Plants 1 and Plant 2:
The VOC emission from the Wash Plants 1 and 2 shall not exceed 280 tons per consecutive 12-month period.
9. The Bailey Coal Preparation Plant (including Thermal Dryer No. 1 and No. 2) is subject to the new source performance standards for coal preparation plants, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Y. In accordance with 40 CFR 60.4, copies of all request, reports, application, submittals and other communications shall be forwarded to both EPA and the Department at the addresses listed unless otherwise noted.
