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.

49-317-002A: Sensenig Milling Services, Inc. (10705 SR 44, Watsontown, PA 17777) for installation of air cleaning devices on and modification of, a bakery waste dryer in Lewis Township, Northumberland County. The dryer is a natural gas-fired rotary dryer used to dry various bakery wastes. The proposed air cleaning devices are a cyclone collector and a fabric collector, to be operated in series, which will replace the cyclone collector and fabric collector previously used to control the PM emissions from the dryer. The proposed modification is the use of the dryer to process unbaked yeast-containing dough, a material the dryer was not previously approved to process, which will result in an increase in the emission of VOCs from the dryer.
Following the modification and installation of the proposed cyclone collector and fabric collector, the air contaminant emissions from the dryer are not expected to exceed 13.24 tons of PM/PM10, 6.8 tons of VOCs, 5.15 tons of NOx, 4.33 tons of CO and .03 ton of SOx per year.
The respective facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department review of the information submitted by Sensenig Milling Services, Inc. indicates that the dryer should be able to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following the dryer modification and cyclone collector and fabric collector installation, including the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, provided the dryer, cyclone collector and fabric collector are properly maintained. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modification and collector installation.
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 burner incorporated in the dryer shall be fired on natural gas only.
2. The PM emissions from the dryer shall not exceed .02 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent gas volume.
3. The cyclone collector and fabric collector shall be located inside of a heated building. Additionally, the cyclone collector, fabric collector and all ductwork from the dryer outlet to the fabric collector inlet shall be insulated.
4. Only bags treated with a fluoropolymer shall be used in the fabric collector. Additionally, spare bags shall be kept onsite.
5. The cyclone collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor collector pressure differential on a continuous basis.
6. The fabric collector shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor collector pressure differential, as well as the collector inlet and outlet temperatures, on a continuous basis. Additionally, this instrumentation shall signal an alarm if the pressure differential exceeds the set point value as well as automatically increase the dryer's heat input or decrease the waste feed rate if the monitored collector temperature approaches the dew point.
7. The air compressor supplying compressed air to the fabric collector shall be equipped with an air dryer and an oil trap.
8. No more than 50 tons of unbaked yeast-containing dough shall be processed through the dryer in any calendar week.
9. The VOC emissions from the dryer shall not exceed 6.8 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
10. The permittee shall maintain comprehensive accurate records of the amount (weight) of unbaked yeast-containing dough processed through the dryer each day.
