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.

The proposed floating dredge operation's emissions will be controlled by a water spray dust suppression system (ID C201).
The Department's review of the information contained in the application submitted by Dalrymple Gravel & Contracting Company indicates that the floating dredge operation and associated water spray dust suppression system will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1 and the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart OOO, 60.670--60.676. The plan approval, if issued, will subsequently be incorporated in an operating permit by means of an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date.
Based upon this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed project. 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. This plan approval is issued for the construction of a floating dredge operation (Source ID P201), consisting the following sources:
(a) one 30" by 42" Telsmith model ''D'' jaw crusher
(b) one 6` by 12` Diester model BFO-1612-DW sand dewatering screen
(c) one 6` by 20` double-deck Diester wash screen
(d) one 30" by 3,000` conveyor
(e) one 30" by 100` radial stacking conveyor
(f) two 30" by 100` floating conveyors
(g) one 30" by 28` conveyor
(h) one 30" by 180` floating conveyor
(i) one 30" by 50` conveyor
(j) one 42" by 54" conveyor
(k) associated transfer chutes and sand collection tank.Any of the equipment listed previously may be replaced without obtaining plan approval provided that the replacement equipment is of equal of smaller size as defined in Subpart OOO of the Federal Standard of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676, and provided that the replacement equipment is of equivalent design and function (such as, a jaw crusher may be replaced with a jaw crusher, and the like). The permittee shall notify the Department, in writing, prior to the replacement.
2. Under BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the air contaminant emissions from the floating dredge operation shall be controlled by a high pressure water spray dust suppression system which shall, at a minimum, incorporate the following spray nozzles:
* One spray nozzle at the discharge end of the 30" by 42" Telsmith model ''D'' jaw crusher
* Ten spray nozzles on the 6` by 20` double-deck Diester wash screen
Additional spray nozzles may be installed without Department approval but none of those identified above should be omitted, deleted or removed without obtaining Department approval.
3. Under BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the fugitive PM emissions from the equipment of the floating dredge operation shall not exceed the emissions limitations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2.
4. Under BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the material from the 6` by 20` double-deck Diester wash screen shall be delivered to the 30" by 42" Telsmith model ''D'' jaw crusher through the telescopic chutes with a minimum possible freefall distance at the transfer point.
5. Under BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the permittee shall not cause any visible fugitive emissions from the wash screens or any subsequent belt conveyors of floating dredge operation up to the material's entry into the next crusher of floating dredge operation.
6. For equipment of floating dredge operation, the permittee shall comply with the test methods and procedures specified in 40 CFR Part 60, 60.675(c), (e) and (h) that verifies compliance with the fugitive PM emission limitations.
