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.

19-318-017A: Kawneer Co., Inc. (500 East Twelfth Street, Bloomsburg, PA 17815) for construction of four surface coating spray booths in Bloomsburg, Columbia County, as well as the modification of a surface coating operation to increase the operation's throughput. The air contaminant emissions from the spray booths and the coating operation will be controlled by a total enclosure, a particulate matter filter system and a thermal oxidizer. This plant is a minor facility.
The information provided by the applicant, as well as the Department's own analysis, indicates that construction of the new spray booths and modification of the coating operation will potentially result in an increase of 34.2 tons of VOCs per year. Additionally, the facility may emit as much as 10 tons of a single hazardous air pollutant and 25 tons of a combination of hazardous air pollutants per year.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed construction and modification will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue a plan approval.
To ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
The spray booths shall be equipped with electrostatic spray type technology to apply surface coatings. The spray booths shall be equipped with 2-stage type particulate matter filters. The atmosphere of the total enclosure shall be maintained at negative pressure. The capture efficiency of the total enclosure shall be equal to or greater than 90%. The destruction efficiency of the thermal oxidizer shall be equal to or greater than 95%. The thermal oxidizer shall be maintained at temperature of at least 1,600°F whenever the surface coating operation is in operation or cleanup is being performed.
No chlorinated coatings or solvents shall be used.
Spray guns, lines and the like shall be cleaned by either flushing/spraying into appropriate recovery receptacles or soaking equipment in closed containers. The use of solvent laden rags to wipe down equipment is also acceptable as long as the rags are stored in closed containers after use until properly disposed of. Solvent laden rags shall not be treated by allowing solvents to evaporate unnecessarily.
The total combined VOC emissions from the entire facility shall not exceed 49 tons per year. The total combined emission of any single hazardous air pollutant from the entire facility shall not equal or exceed 10 tons per year. Additionally, the total combined emission of all hazardous air pollutant from the entire facility shall not equal or exceed 25 tons per year.
Records shall be kept of the amount of each coating and solvent used each month. These records shall list the type and amount of each VOC and hazardous air pollutant contained in each coating and solvent.
Stack testing shall be performed to determine the capture efficiency of the total enclosure and the destruction efficiency of the thermal oxidizer.
