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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. 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 the 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 a 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. 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.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The resultant particulate matter emissions are projected to be no greater than 2.98 tons per year, of which no more than 1.42 tons per year will be PM10.

   The Department's review of the information submitted by Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. indicates that the jaw crusher, feeder and two conveyors will comply with all Air Quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and 40 CFR 60.670--60.676 and the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the jaw crusher, feeder and two conveyors.

   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.  All conditions of Plan Approvals 41-310-012 and 41-310-012A remain in force unless specifically amended or superseded by a condition contained herein.

   2.  The water spray dust suppression system shall, at a minimum, incorporate two spray nozzles at the feeder, one spray nozzle at the jaw crusher feed and one spray nozzle at the head pulley of the 42" x 30` channel frame conveyor.

   3.  The jaw crusher, feeder and two conveyors shall not be operated at any time the water spray dust suppression system is incapable of operation.

   17-305-042C: DTE River Hill, LLC,--DTE, Synfuel Operations, LLC (414 South Main Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104) for construction of a coal railcar unloading operation and an agglomerated coal fines (''synfuel'') railcar loading operation at their existing synfuel facility in Karthaus Township, Clearfield County.

   The facility manufactures an agglomerated coal fines product, commonly referred to as synfuel, from bituminous coal.

   The proposed coal railcar unloading operation will consist of a hydraulic excavator incorporating a 275 brake horsepower diesel engine, a double roll crusher, a 25-ton surge bin, a 200-ton silo and a conveyor. The particulate matter emissions from the crusher will be controlled by a cartridge collector (including particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less also known as PM10). The particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the silo will be controlled by a bin vent fabric collector. The fugitive particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the conveyor will be controlled by an enclosure.

   The proposed synfuel railcar loading operation will consist of a diverter gate, a 100-ton loadout bin, a rail car loading chute and two conveyors. The particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the railcar loading chute will be controlled by the use of a telescopic chute and the particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the conveyors will be controlled by enclosures.

   The coal railcar unloading operation and synfuel railcar loading operation are not expected to emit more than 6.83 tons of NOx, 3.93 tons of CO, .60 ton of nonmethane hydrocarbons, 1.43 tons of sulfur oxides and 5.58 tons of particulate matter, of which no more than 3.86 tons will be PM10, per year.

   The Department's review of the information provided by DTE River Hill, LLC/DTE Synfuel Operations, LLC indicates that the proposed coal railcar unloading operation and synfuel railcar loading operation will comply with all Air Quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and 40 CFR 60.250--60.254 and the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the coal railcar unloading operation and synfuel railcar loading 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.  All conditions contained in Operating Permit 17-305-042 remain in effect unless specifically amended or superseded by a condition contained herein.

   2.  The particulate matter concentration in the exhaust of the cartridge collector associated with the double roll crusher and the bin vent fabric collector associated with the silo shall not exceed .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot of collector exhaust.

   3.  The cartridge collector and bin vent fabric collector shall each be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the differential pressure across the collector on a continuous basis.

   4.  The air compressor used to supply compressed air to the cartridge collector and the bin vent fabric collector shall be equipped with an air dryer and an oil trap.

   5.  Spare cartridges and bags shall be kept on hand for the cartridge collector and bin vent fabric collector.

   6.  All conveyors shall be equipped with full enclosures.

   7.  The telescopic synfuel railcar loading chute shall be manned at all times it is in use to ensure that the free fall distance from the chute is minimized.

   8.  Water shall be applied, as necessary, to prevent the occurrence of fugitive particulate matter emissions from the coal railcar unloading operation.

   9.  The NOx, CO, nonmethane hydrocarbon and particulate matter/PM10 emissions from the diesel engine incorporated in the hydraulic excavator shall not exceed 4.5, 2.6, .4 and .15 grams per brake horsepower--hour, respectively, nor shall they exceed 2.73, 1.57, .24 and .09 pounds per hour, respectively.

   10.  The diesel engine incorporated in the hydraulic excavator shall be fired only on diesel fuel or No. 2 fuel oil to which no reprocessed or waste oil or other waste materials have been added.
