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 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.

Former Stackpole Benzinger Township Carbon Graphite Facility, City of St. Marys, Elk County. Cleason P. Smith, Hydrosystems Management, Inc., 331 S. Main Street, Suite 109, Washington, PA 15301 on behalf of J. Samuel Parkhill, The Hall Corporation, 65 Lambert Road, South Freeport, ME 04032 has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate.
The Benzinger site includes the 36.8-acre Carbon Graphite Plant currently owned by Carbone of America Industries Corporation, a 6.7-acre parcel currently owned by the Hall Corporation (formerly The Stackpole Corporation), which includes the closed, 2.5-acre Cycle Mix Landfill and a 2.5-acre parcel also owned currently by Hall Corporation. Prior to 1991, all of these parcels were with the property owned by the Stackpole Corporation (now the Hall Corporation). The property use has been commercial/industrial since the early 1900s and will continue to be used for commercial/industrial purposes in the future.
Contamination of soil and groundwater at the Benzinger site is primarily the result of historical industrial practices involving the use of handling of trichloroethene (TCE) and 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) as thinning agents in a process by which carbon-graphite product was impregnated with linseed oil. The use of TCE and 1,2-DCA was terminated in approximately 1988. The primary contaminants at the site are TCE and 1,2-DCA as well as their degradation products and certain metals used in the graphite-manufacturing processes.
On November 25, 1991, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Stackpole Corporation, Hall Corporation's predecessor, entered into a Consent Order and Agreement addressing the cleanup of a portion of the property that is described in the current Notice of Intent to Remediate.
Proof of publication was received by the Department August 8, 2005, with publication of the Notice of Intent to Remediate in The Daily Press on July 12, 2005.

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 should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

18-00005C: Dominion Transmission, Inc. (445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301) for modification of the company's Finnefrock Compressor Station in Leidy Township, Clinton County.
The Finnefrock Compressor Station consists of a number of natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion compressor engines and ancillary equipment used to transmit natural gas into and out of storage and through pipelines. The Finnefrock Compressor Station is considered to be a major source of NOx, VOCs, CO and HAPs (primarily formaldehyde) for Title V permitting purposes and operates under Title V Operating Permit 18-00005.
The proposed modification is an increase in the allowable fugitive VOC emissions from the facility from the current limit of 4.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period to a new limit of 15.41 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
The increase in allowable fugitive VOC emissions is not expected to be accompanied by any increase in the actual VOC emissions from the facility as no physical change is occurring. The emission estimation procedures upon which the 4.4 ton per 12-consecutive month period emission limit was based are now believed to be inaccurate and to have resulted in an under-estimation of the facility's true fugitive VOC emission potential. The proposed fugitive VOC emission limit of 15.41 tons per 12-consecutive month period reflects the use of current emission estimation procedures and is consequently believed to more accurately reflect the facility's true fugitive VOC emission potential.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Dominion Transmission, Inc. indicates that the respective compressor station will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the proposed modification, including the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modification. Additionally, the Department subsequently intends to incorporate the increased emission limit into Title V Operating Permit 18-00005 by means of administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
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 requirements:
1. The total combined fugitive volatile organic compound emissions from this facility shall not exceed 15.41 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
2. The permittee shall, at the conclusion of each calendar month, calculate and record the amount of fugitive VOC emissions which occurred for the 12-consecutive month period which ended on the last day of the respective month. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall, along with any supporting data and calculations, be made available to the Department upon request.
3. By no later than March 1 of each year, the permittee shall submit to the Department all of the 12-consecutive month fugitive VOC emission values calculated during the prior calendar year (all emission values calculated during 2006 shall be submitted by March 1, 2007, and the like).
The fugitive VOC emissions from this facility are subject to the RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the revision requested by the permittee to the RACT plan previously submitted to, and approved by, the Department for this facility.
The preliminary determination to revise the previously approved RACT plan for this facility will, if finally approved, be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revision will not adopt any new regulations. It will contain the requirements established by the Department in its approval of the proposed RACT plan revision.
The paragraphs numbered 1--3 contain the Department's preliminary revised RACT determination for the facility's fugitive VOC emissions.
A copy of the plan approval application is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address which follows. Persons interested in inspecting the application must schedule an appointment in advance.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the Department's preliminary revised RACT determination for the facility's fugitive VOC emissions and the associated proposed plan approval issuance and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on January 5, 2006, at 1 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to appear at this public hearing and provide comment.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment at the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Persons unable to attend the hearing but wish to comment or persons who wish to protest the proposed plan approval issuance may do so by submitting their comments or protest in writing to the Department at the following address. Comments or protests must be received by the Department by no later than January 15, 2006, to be considered. Comments or protests should include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment or protest and a concise statement explaining the relevancy of the comment or protest being presented to the Department.

PLAN APPROVAL
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
18-00005C: Dominion Transmission, Inc. (445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301) for modification of the company's Finnefrock Compressor Station in Leidy Township, Clinton County.
The Finnefrock Compressor Station consists of a number of natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion compressor engines and ancillary equipment used to transmit natural gas into and out of storage and through pipelines. The Finnefrock Compressor Station is considered to be a major source of NOx, VOCs, CO and HABs (primarily formaldehyde) for Title V permitting purposes and operates under Title V Operating Permit 18-00005.
The proposed modification is an increase in the allowable fugitive VOC emissions from the facility from the current limit of 4.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period to a new limit of 15.41 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
The increase in allowable fugitive VOC emissions is not expected to be accompanied by any increase in the actual VOC emissions from the facility as no physical change is occurring. The emission estimation procedures upon which the 4.4 ton per 12-consecutive month period emission limit was based are now believed to be inaccurate and to have resulted in an under-estimation of the facility's true fugitive VOC emission potential. The proposed fugitive VOC emission limit of 15.41 tons per 12-consecutive month period reflects the use of current emission estimation procedures and is consequently believed to more accurately reflect the facility's true fugitive VOC emission potential.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Dominion Transmission, Inc. indicates that the respective compressor station will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the proposed modification, including the Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modification. Additionally, the Department subsequently intends to incorporate the increased emission limit into Title V Operating Permit 18-00005 by means of administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
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 requirements:
1. The total combined fugitive VOC emissions from this facility shall not exceed 15.41 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
2. The permittee shall, at the conclusion of each calendar month, calculate and record the amount of fugitive VOC emissions which occurred for the 12-consecutive month period which ended on the last day of the respective month. Records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall, along with any supporting data and calculations, be made available to the Department upon request.
3. By March 1 of each year, the permittee shall submit to the Department all of the 12-consecutive month fugitive VOC emission values calculated during the prior calendar year (all emission values calculated during 2006 shall be submitted by March 1, 2007, and the like).
The fugitive VOC emissions from this facility are subject to the RACT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95. The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the revision requested by the permittee to the RACT plan previously submitted to, and approved by, the Department for this facility.
The preliminary determination to revise the previously approved RACT plan for this facility will, if finally approved, be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP revision will not adopt any new regulations. It will contain the requirements established by the Department in its approval of the proposed RACT plan revision.
The paragraphs numbered 1, 2 and 3 contain the Department's preliminary revised RACT determination for the facility's fugitive VOC emissions.
A copy of the plan approval application is available for public inspection during normal business hours at the address listed. Persons interested in inspecting the application must schedule an appointment in advance.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the Department's preliminary revised RACT determination for the facility's fugitive VOC emissions and the associated proposed plan approval issuance and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on January 5, 2006, at 1 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to appear at this public hearing and provide comment.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment at the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Persons unable to attend the hearing but wish to comment or persons who wish to protest the proposed plan approval issuance may do so by submitting their comments or protest in writing to the Department at the following address. Comments or protests must be received by the Department by no later than January 15, 2006, to be considered. Comments or protests should include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment or protest and a concise statement explaining the relevancy of the comment or protest being presented to the Department.
Written comments or protests should be directed to David W. Aldenderfer, Environmental Program Manager, Air Quality Program, Department of Environmental Protection, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448.
