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.

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.

41-00010E: Andritz, Inc. (35 Sherman Street, Muncy, PA 17856) for construction of two 1,000-pound capacity electric induction iron and steel melting furnaces in their facility in Muncy Borough and Muncy Creek Township, Lycoming County.
Andritz, Inc. is a major facility for VOCs and PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 microns or less) and one for which a Title V operating permit (41-00010) has been issued.
The proposed furnaces will be used to produce a number of different iron and steel alloys, including some which contain high percentages of chromium and nickel. The furnaces will share a common power supply so only one of the two will be able to operate at any given time. The maximum melt rate will be 1.2 tons per hour.
The particulate matter emissions (including PM10) from the furnaces will be controlled by a fabric collector and an emission capture ''ring hood'' located on each furnace. The resultant air containment emissions are not expected to exceed .13 ton of VOCs per year, .59 ton of CO per year and .61 ton of particulate matter per year, of which no more than .51 ton per year are expected to be PM10 and no more than .0912 ton per year are expected to be hazardous air pollutants (no more than .00043 ton of cadmium, .00311 ton of chromium, .0588 ton of manganese, .00377 ton of nickel and .025 ton of lead).
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Andritz, Inc. indicates that the proposed furnaces will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed furnaces. Additionally, if the furnaces are constructed and subsequently determined by the Department to be operating in compliance with all plan approval conditions and all applicable regulatory requirements, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 41-00010 by means of administrative amendment in accordance with the requirements specified in 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 regulatory requirements:
1. Only one of the two furnaces shall operate at any given time.
2. No more than a combined total of 8,400 tons of metal shall be melted in the furnaces in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. The scrap used in the furnaces shall either be No.1 machinery cast and plate scrap conforming to a maximum .5% oil and/or dirt purchase specification or shot-blasted (except for Ni-Hard) foundry reverts.
4. No scrap containing lead which was intentionally added as an alloy material shall be charged to the furnaces.
5. No ductile iron shall be produced in the furnaces.
6. Each furnace shall be equipped with a lid or cover which shall be placed over the furnace top at all times except when the furnace is being charged or tapped, when alloys are being added or slag removed and when the furnace is out of operation.
7. The ring or bonnet emission capture hood installed on each furnace shall extend around the entire circumference of the furnace top, shall be capable of capturing furnace emissions both when the furnace lid or cover is in place and when it is swung aside as well as when the furnace is tilted for tapping. The hoods shall be employed for furnace emission capture during charging, melting, alloy additions slag removal and tapping.
8. The fabric installed to control the air contaminant emissions from the furnaces shall be an Advanced Integrated Resources, Inc. model Pulse II-1112JPD6 fabric collector containing approximately 1,250 square feet of filter area and equipped with reverse pulse bag cleaning and a fan capable of handling a 4,000 actual cubic feet per minute gas flow (or an alternate collector determined by the Department to be equivalent or better). If a fabric collector other than an Advanced Integrated Resources, Inc. model Pulse II-1112JPD6 fabric collector is selected, it shall not be installed until specifications have first been submitted to the Department and the Department has subsequently provided Andritz, Inc. with an equivalency determination.
9. The fabric collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the pressure differential across the collector.
10. The air compressor used to supply compressed air to the fabric collector shall be equipped with an air dryer and an oil trap.
11. Spare fabric collector bags shall be kept on hand.
12. The particulate matter (including PM10) concentration in the exhaust of the fabric collector shall not exceed .001 grain per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust.
13. The particulate matter (including PM10), VOC, carbon monoxide and total combined hazardous air pollutant emissions from the furnaces shall not exceed .61, .13, .59 and .0912 ton, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
14. If requested by the Department, Andritz, Inc. shall perform stack testing upon the fabric collector.
15. Records shall be maintained of the amount of metal melted in the furnaces each month. The records as are necessary to demonstrate that the furnaces have not been operated simultaneously and that each load of purchased scrap used in the furnaces meets the oil and/or dirt specification established herein shall also be maintained. All records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request.
