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.

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. 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 the date of the hearing.

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. The particulate matter emissions from the boiler shall not exceed a rate of 0.35 pound per million Btu of heat input. Additionally, the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides (NOx, expressed as NO2) emissions shall each not exceed 0.5 pound per million Btu of heat input.
2. The boiler shall be fired on wood grindings consisting of kiln-dried wood only. No coated or treated wood, laminated wood, particleboard, flakeboard or materials other than kiln-dried wood shall be burned in this boiler.
3. The multi-clone collector shall incorporate instrumentation to measure the pressure drop across the collector on a continuous basis.
4. The multi-clone collector ash discharge system shall remain sealed from the open air at all times except when changing flyash disposal drums.
5. There shall be no visible air contaminants or particulate matter emitted from the pneumatic wood grindings transfer system associated with the boiler.
6. If the Department deems necessary, a stack test shall be performed on the boiler while firing at maximum capacity to demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter emission limitation of 0.35 pound per million Btu of heat input.

3. The degreaser shall incorporate a freeboard ratio of at least 0.75 and a manually operated working-mode cover.
4. The cover to the degreaser shall fully cover the degreaser opening at all times of operation except to introduce new trichloroethylene into the degreaser compartment or to insert or remove the parts basket. In addition, the cover to the degreaser shall fully cover the degreaser opening at all times of idling and downtown except to perform degreaser maintenance or monitoring that requires that the cover not be in place.
5. The permittee shall maintain comprehensive and accurate records of the amount of trichloroethylene used in the degreaser each month as well as the amount of 100% trichloroethylene shipped offsite each month.

Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the previous, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the previously-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
