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, 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.

41-00005B: Lycoming Engines (652 Oliver Street, Williamsport, PA 17701). A Title V Operating Permit (41-00005) has been issued for the construction of three aircraft engine parts nitriding (case hardening) furnaces in their facility in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County. The respective facility is a major facility.
The respective three nitriding furnaces (nitriders) actually already exist, having been constructed in 1978, 1985 and 1999, but the required plan approval was not obtained at the time of construction. The nitriders have been operating without air pollution controls and consequently have the potential to emit up to 144 tons of ammonia in any 12 consecutive month period. An air cleaning device, a gas neutralization unit, will now be installed to control these emissions. Following the installation of the gas neutralization unit, the nitriders will emit up to .17 ton of ammonia and 1.39 tons of NOx in any 12 consecutive month period (combined total for all three nitriders).
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that following the installation of the gas neutralization unit, the nitriders will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Lycoming Engines shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Consent Order and Agreement entered into with the Department on August 1, 2002.
2. The air contaminant emissions from the three nitriders shall be captured at an efficiency of no less than 100% and ducted to a gas neutralization unit.
3. The burner of the gas neutralization unit shall be fired on natural gas only.
4. The gas neutralization unit shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor and record the outlet temperature of the neutralization unit on a continuous basis.
5. A gas neutralization unit outlet temperature of at least 1,650°F shall be maintained at any time air contaminant emissions are being ducted to the neutralization unit from any of the nitriders unless it is determined that a higher minimum temperature is required to ensure compliance with the ammonia emission limit specified herein, in which case, that higher temperature must be maintained at all times.
6. The ammonia emissions from the gas neutralization unit shall not exceed a rate of .038 pound per hour.
7. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the gas neutralization unit, stack testing shall be performed to determine the ammonia emission rate from the gas neutralization unit while the nitriders are operating at the maximum ammonia emission rate Lycoming Engines ever intends to operate them and while the gas neutralization unit is operating at the lowest temperature Lycoming Engines ever intends to operate it (but not less than 1,650°F).
8. Lycoming Engines shall retain all data generated by the continuous gas neutralization unit outlet temperature monitoring and recording system for at least 5 years and shall make the data available to the Department upon request.
