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.

The company will operate the all process equipment and air-cleaning devices in accordance with the good engineering practices to assure proper operation of the system. The Plan Approval and resulting State-only Operating permit will contain recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
PA 48-306-011: Northampton Generating Co. (1 Horwith Drive, Northampton, PA 18067) for modification of their facility, to satisfy four conditions before approval to modify an operation may be granted by Department of Environmental Protection (Department) in the Borough of Northampton, Northampton County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department intends to issue Plan Approval No. 48-306-011 to Northampton Generating Company, 1 Horwith Drive, Northampton, PA 18067 for their facility in the Borough of Northampton, Northampton County. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit No. 45-00021 through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed modification of the facility, to satisfy four conditions before approval to modify an operation may be granted by Department. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by the best available control technology. Second, particulate and SO2 air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable annual, 24 hour, or 3-hour air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause a violation of either the National primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation and visibility in the vicinity of he proposed plant site.
The company has requested to increase its annual CO emission limit from 425.2 tpy to 753.4 tpy. The company will not alter the originally established BAT limit of 172 lb/hr. The company has requested to remove the existing percent SO2 removal requirements, since the low sulfur fuels that are presently being combusted can not practically be removed at the rate as specified in the permit. Presently the company has a SO2 emissions limit of 0.129 lb/mmBtu and reduction requirements of 92% both on 24-hr block average. The company has also proposed to clarify the existing limitations on alternate fuels. The present air pollution control equipment, baghouses for particulate control, Selective Non Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) for NOX control, and Lime injection for SO2 controls will not be altered in any manner to facilitate the above proposals. Theses control units will operate in their normal manner (These control technologies were evaluated under PSD application No. 48-306-008).
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the Northampton Generating Company indicates that the proposed operation of the plant facility will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four stated previously. Based upon these findings, Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis;
Pollutant Units Pounds/hour Tons/year PM10 0.088 lb/mmBtu 10.1 34.7 SOx 0.129 lb/mmBtu 147.8 557.8 CO 0.15 lb/mmBtu 172 753.4 NOx 0.1 lb/mmBtu 115 449.6 VOC 0.005 lb/mmBtu 5.74 23.4 The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NOx, SO2 and PM emissions from the proposed modification will not increase at a significant rate. A decrease in NOx and SOx emissions will occur from the previously approved allowable level due to this proposal. No net increase will occur in total particulate, and sulfur oxides emissions from this project, therefore, the particulate and SOx emissions do not affect the allowable annual, 24 hour or 3 hour air quality class increments applicable in the area. The increase in operating hours will not affect the emission rate of any of the other pollutants the facility emits.
The requested change will not affect any of the modeled CO concentrations since the facility's short-term CO emission limits will remain in effect. Furthermore, since CO does not have any long-term NAAQS or PSD standards associated with it, a modeling demonstration is unnecessary for NGC's requested increase in its annual allowable CO emission limits. NGC's short-term (1 and 8 hour) CO emission rates remain unchanged from their previous limits. An increase in annual allowable CO emission limits does not lead to substantial (PSD triggering) increases in other criteria pollutants emitted by NGC.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.
1. The emission rates for the pollutant from the facility shall not exceed the following emission limits.
Pollutant Units Pounds/hour Tons/year PM10 0.088 lb/mmBtu 10.1 34.7 SOx 0.129 lb/mmBtu 147.8 557.8 CO 0.15 lb/mmBtu 172 753.4 NOx 0.1 lb/mmBtu 115 449.6 VOC 0.005 lb/mmBtu 5.74 23.4
The facility must cease operation or obtain prior approval under applicable regulations if any of the pollutant exceeds the total annual emissions tons per year limit.
2. This plan approval allows the use of high carbon ash, petroleum coke, coal (anthracite/bituminous), paper processing residual (filter cake), and virgin wood chips, as an alternative fuel in conjunction with anthracite culms in the circulating fluidized boiler. The co-firing rates for all of the approved fuels shall not exceed the following tons per hour limitations calculated based on a monthly basis:
a. Coal (anthracite or bituminous)--15 TPH.
b. Petroleum Coke--32 TPH.
c. Paper processing residual (fiber-reject, filter-cake, sludge press cake) from paper recycling processes--25 TPH, subject to the approval of the Bureau of Waste Management
d. Virgin woodchips--20 TPH, subject to the approval of the Bureau of Waste Management.
e. High carbon ash--50 TPH.
f. Total charging rate for all fuels combined shall not exceed 105 TPH.
g. Total fuel charging rate shall include a minimum of 50%, by weight, anthracite-waste.
3. The total annual heat input of the boiler shall not exceed 10,038,960 million Btus per year on a 12 month rolling sum basis.
4. The fuel samples shall be taken daily and analyzed to determine: ash content (% by weight); sulfur content (% by weight); and heat value (Btus per pound). Quarterly reports are to be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Program Manger within 30 days of the end of the quarter.
5. Visible air contaminant shall not be emitted in such a manner that the opacity of the emissions is equal to or greater than 10% for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour; or equal to or greater than 30% at any time.
6. The facility is subject to all applicable requirements of NSPS Subpart Da.
7. The company shall operate and maintain certified CEMs for NOx, SO2, CO and opacity to show compliance with the NOx, SO2, CO and opacity emission rates from the boiler.
Persons wishing to provide Department, with additional information they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to the address shown as follows. Each written comment shall include the following:
1. Name and address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment.
2. Identification of the proposed Plan Approval No. 48-306-011.
3. Concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or any objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.
Request for a public fact finding conference or hearing may also be made by writing the Department at the address shown as follows. A public conference may be held if the Department in its discretion decides that such a conference is warranted on the basis of the information received. Persons who have submitted comments or have requested a conference will be notified of the decision to hold a conference by publication in this newspaper or in the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the the Department determines the notification by telephone is sufficient. Comments and requests must be received by the Department no later than 30 days after final publication date.

Box 311, Towanda, PA 18848) for installation of a cyclonic separator on the Line I Press to replace the existing chevron type mist eliminator at their Towanda plant in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (08-00003) has been issued. The Department of Environmental Protection intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the applicant to perform the installation and operation. Air contaminant emissions are not expected to increase as a result of this project.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed cyclonic separator will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.13 and 123.41. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed installation. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the operating permit via an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The Department proposes to place in the plan approval the following conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Within 180 days after initial startup of the cyclonic separator, the permittee shall perform stack testing on the exhaust of the Line I Press to determine compliance with the PM emission limitation of 0.04 gr/dscf. The permittee shall test for the total particulate matter emissions, which includes filterable and condensable PM. Stack testing shall be performed in accordance with the applicable provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 (relating to sampling and testing) using test methods and procedures approved by the Department. Testing shall be performed while the process is operating at its maximum rate of production.
2. At least 60 days prior to stack testing, the permittee shall submit two copies of a test protocol to the Department's Northcentral Region for review and approval. The test protocol shall describe the test methods and procedures to be used in the performance of testing, and shall include dimensioned sketches of the exhaust systems showing the locations of all proposed sampling ports. The test protocol shall also identify all process parameters, which will be monitored and recorded during testing to verify the rate of production during testing and to verify that all associated air cleaning devices are operating normally during testing.
3. At least 14 days prior to stack testing, the permittee shall notify the Department (Northcentral Regional Office and Central Office, Source Testing Section) of the actual dates and times that testing will occur so that Department personnel can arrange to be present during testing. The Department is under no obligation to accept the results of the testing without having been given proper notification.
4. Within 60 days following the completion of the stack testing, the permittee shall submit two copies of a test report to the Department's Northcentral Region for review and approval. The test report shall contain the results of the testing, a description of the test methods and procedures actually used, copies of all raw test data with sample calculations and copies of all process data recorded during testing and operating load calculations (material throughput). Since the testing is required for the purpose of demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter emission limitation identified in this plan approval, the results of the testing shall be expressed in units identical to the units of the limitation identified in this plan approval (gr/dscf).
5. Conditions contained in Title V operating permit 08-00003 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by conditions contained in this plan approval. If there is a conflict between a condition or requirement contained in this plan approval and a condition or requirement contained in Title V operating permit 08-00003, the permittee shall comply with the condition or requirement contained in this plan approval rather than the conflicting condition or requirement contained in Title V operating permit 08-00003.
6. Issuance of an operating permit for the cyclonic separator is contingent upon the air cleaning device being installed, maintained and operated as described in the plan approval application and supplemental materials submitted with the application, and in accordance with all conditions contained in this plan approval and upon satisfactory demonstration that any air contaminant emissions are in compliance with all limitations specified in this plan approval, as well as in compliance with the requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.13, 123.31 and 123.41.
