LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
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--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, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW 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.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Contact: David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
49-00019C: Sunoco Partners Marketing and Terminals L.P. (1801 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1699) for installation of an air cleaning device, a vapor combustion unit, on two existing tank truck fuel loading racks at the Northumberland Terminal in Point Township, Northumberland County. The application also requests approval to construct a combined total of two gasoline loading arms and one distillate fuel loading arm on the respective loading racks.
The Northumberland Terminal is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (No. 49-00019) has been issued. The installation of the vapor combustion unit will replace two existing vapor recovery units. Up to 49.26, 11.21, 7.94 and 4.46 tons of VOCs, carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants and nitrogen oxides, respectively, will be emitted in any 12 consecutive month period as a result of loading gasoline.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed construction of additional loading arms and installation of the vapor combustion unit on the two existing loading racks will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the VOC emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 129.59 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 (which have applicability because the vapor combustion unit constitutes an ''air contamination source'' in addition to being an ''air cleaning device''). Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to construct the additional loading arms and install the proposed vapor combustion unit on the respective loading racks.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1. At no time shall the operation of the loading racks result in the emission of 0.0668 pound (30.3 grams) of gasoline (measured as propane) for every 100 gallons of gasoline loaded.
2. Within 90 days of the completion of installation of the vapor combustion unit, VOC stack testing shall be performed which demonstrates compliance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.59.
3. At no time shall any gasoline loading occur without the simultaneous operation of the vapor combustion unit.
4. The nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions from the respective vapor combustion unit shall not exceed 4 or 10 milligrams per liter of product loaded, respectively, nor shall the emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide exceed 4.46 and 11.21 tons, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
5. The amount of gasoline and distillate fuels loaded using the two loading racks shall not exceed 270, 023 and 260 million gallons, respectively, per 12 consecutive month period.
