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 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 before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

35-315-035B: The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Co. (PA Route 87, Mehoopany, PA 18629) for construction and operation of two paper machines in Washington Township, Wyoming County.
The company submitted to the Department an application for approval for a modification to an existing plan approval issued for the construction and operation of two paper machines. The proposed change would occur at the sources in Washington Township, Wyoming County. The application was submitted under 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 and has been reviewed in accordance with all applicable air quality regulations.
The proposed modification and changes are not subject to the requirements of PSD regulations. A preliminary review of the information submitted by The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company indicates that the construction and operation of the proposed two paper machines will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modification of two paper machines.
The information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis indicates that after modification emissions from these paper machines will either remain the same or have an expected decrease in the NOx emissions. Particulate emissions will be reduced to 54.9 tpy from 63.9 tpy; CO emissions will remain the same at 306 tpy; VOCs will remain the same at 380.2 tpy; and NOx emissions will increase from 162.2 tpy to 206.9 tpy. The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. A decreasing of NOx emissions from the existing boilers by installing low NOx burners will offset NOx emission increases from these two paper machines. No net increase will occurs in NOx emissions from this project, therefore, the modification is not subject to the NSR requirement.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.
1. Stack test shall be performed in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 to show compliance with the applicable standards.
2. NOx emissions from boilers 1, 2 and 4 shall be recorded continuously.

The Sabinsville Compressor Station is a major facility which has been issued a Title V Operating Permit 59-00005.
The proposed air cleaning device will supplement existing air pollution controls on the respective engine and will help better assure compliance with NOx emission limitations previously established for the engine under the reasonably available control technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. This installation will not result in any change in the amount of NOx or any other air contaminant allowed to be emitted from the engine but may result in a reduction in the emission rate of one or more air contaminants from the levels now actually occurring.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Dominion Transmission, Inc. indicates that the proposed installation will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the installation of the proposed high pressure fuel injection system on the respective engine. Additionally, if the Department determines that the engine is operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements following the installation of the high pressure fuel injection system, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 59-00005 by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Following the installation of the high pressure fuel injection system on Engine 6, NOx, expressed as NO2, emissions from the respective engine shall not exceed 13.23 pounds per hour at full load/full speed and 26.4 pounds per hour at any time. Additionally, the emission of VOCs and CO from the engine shall not exceed 3.5 and 11.96 pounds per hour, respectively.
2. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the high pressure fuel injection system, stack testing shall be performed for NOx, VOCs and CO.
3. Semiannual NOx portable analyzer testing shall be performed on the engine.
4. Records shall be maintained of the number of hours per month that the engine is operated per month and the amount of fuel used per month.
5. The engine shall only be fired on pipeline quality natural gas.
18-315-001: First Quality Tissue, LLC (599 South Highland Street, Lock Haven, PA 17745) for construction of a paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility in Castanea Township, Clinton County.
The respective facility, if constructed, will be a major facility for which a Title V operating permit will have to be obtained.
The facility will consist of no. 1 and no. 2 paper machines, each of which will consist of a pulper area, a wet end area, a first stage dryer, a glue containment area, a second stage dryer, a dry end area and a converting area. The facility will also incorporate additional scrap paper pulpers, printing presses, additive storage tanks, a wastewater treatment system, various small natural gas/propane-fired unit heaters and makeup air units and a 300 horsepower diesel-fired fire pump.
The PM emissions, including PM10, from each of the paper machine wet end areas will be controlled by a cyclone collector. The PM, including PM10, from each of the paper machine dry end areas will be controlled by a venturi scrubber system. The NOx emissions from the combustion of fuel in the paper machines' first stage dryer burners, second stage dryer burners and second stage boilers will be minimized by the use of low NOx burners.
The paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility will emit up to 167.55 tons of NOx, 269.73 tons of CO, 335.52 tons of VOCs, 36.44 tons of PM, including PM10, 1.64 tons of SOx and 2.35 tons of HAPs in any 12 consecutive month period.
The facility's VOC and NOx emissions are subject to the New Source Review (NSR) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217. The Department has determined that the proposed level of VOC and NOx emission control will satisfy the lowest achievable emission rate requirement of these regulations and also, under 25 Pa. Code § 127.205(5), that the benefits of the proposed facility will significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs associated with the facility. The Department has also determined that First Quality Tissue, LLC must obtain 192.68 tons of NOx emission reduction credits as well as 385.85 tons of VOC emission reduction credits before the facility may begin operation. First Quality Tissue, LLC has committed to obtaining these emission reduction credits in a timely fashion.
The facility's NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emissions are subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83. The Department has determined that the proposed level of NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emission control will satisfy the best available control technology requirement of these regulations and that the emission of these air contaminants will not endanger the maintenance of any applicable National Ambient Air Quality Standard or result in the consumption of more ambient increment than is available in the Castanea Township area.
The maximum annual NOx ambient concentration is projected to be 69.3 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 100 micrograms per cubic meter), the maximum annual PM10 ambient concentration is projected to be 39.5 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 50 micrograms per cubic meter) and the maximum 24-hour PM10 ambient concentration is projected to be 113.5 micrograms per cubic meter (standard is 150 micrograms per cubic meter). The total amount of increment consumed at the respective site, including the impact of the proposed facility, is projected to be 20.9 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 25 micrograms per cubic meter of annual NOx increment, 5.3 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 17 micrograms per cubic meter of annual PM10 increment and 26.3 micrograms per cubic meter of the total allowable 30 micrograms per cubic meter of 24 hour PM10 increment. This will leave 4.1 micrograms per cubic meter of annual NOx increment, 11.7 micrograms per cubic meter of annual PM10 increment and 3.7 micrograms per cubic meter of 24-hour PM10 increment available for future industrial, and the like, growth in the Castanea Township area.
The PSD regulations also require an analysis of the impact of the facility's projected NOx, CO, PM and PM10 emissions on visibility, soils and vegetation. The Department has determined that there will be no adverse impact on local visibility and minimal impacts on soil and vegetation.
All of the air contaminant emissions to be emitted from the facility are also subject to the best available technology (BAT) provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department has determined that the proposed level of control for all air contaminants will satisfy these requirements.
The Department's review of the information submitted by First Quality Tissue, LLC indicates that the proposed paper towel and tissue manufacturing facility will meet all applicable air quality regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the respective facility.
