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 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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office after 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.

Drawer 5, Paxinos, PA 17860) for the construction of a recreational vehicle surface coating operation at the company's existing Paxinos facility in Ralpho Township, Northumberland County. The existing facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (49-00010) has been issued.
The proposed recreational vehicle surface coating operation will consist of two initial preparation areas, six spray booths, one touchup booth, two clean rooms and two curing ovens. The air contaminant emissions from everything other than the two initial preparation areas will be captured with enclosures and subsequently controlled by two regenerative thermal oxiders. The resultant VOC and HAP emissions will be a maximum of 29.0 and 10.39 tons, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed recreational vehicle surface coating operation 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 for the construction of the proposed recreational vehicle surface coating operation.
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. Each spray booth shall be equipped with three stage dry filter banks capable of removing 99% of the particulate matter from the booth's exhaust. Each filter bank shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the filter bank.
2. Only high volume low pressure spray technology (or technology determined by the Department to be equivalent or better) shall be used to apply coatings.
3. The curing oven shall be fired on natural gas only.
4. The six spray booths, one touch up booth, two clean rooms and two curing ovens shall each be equipped with an enclosure.

7. Each of the two regenerative thermal oxiders shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the combustion chamber temperature.
8. The basecoat/graphics coating identified in the plan approval application shall be the only basecoat/graphics coating used unless the Department approves the use of an alternate coating having an equivalent or lower VOC and volatile HAP content. The VOC and volatile HAP contents of this coating shall not exceed 6.59 and 4.69 pounds per gallon, respectively, as applied.
9. The clearcoat identified in the plan approval application shall be the only clearcoat used unless the Department approves the use of an alternate coating having an equivalent or lower VOC and volatile HAP content. The VOC and volatile HAP contents of this coating shall not exceed 4.08 and 1.76 pounds per gallon, respectively, as applied.
10. The only solvent to be used for preparing surfaces prior to surface coating shall be the solvent identified in the plan approval application as being for this purpose unless the Department approves the use of an alternate coating of equivalent or lower volatility and equivalent or lower volatile HAP content. The volatile HAP content of this coating shall be no greater than zero.
11. The only solvent to be used for coating equipment cleanup purposes shall be the solvent identified in the plan approval application as being for this purpose unless the Department approves the use of an alternate solvent having an equivalent or lower VOC and volatile HAP.
