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—6026.907)
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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.

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

• The PAL is effective from the date of issuance of this plan approval and expires after 10 years from the date of issuance of this approval.
• The owner or operator shall submit a timely application to request renewal of a PAL permit. A timely application is one that is submitted at least 6 month prior to, but not earlier than 18 months prior to the date of permit expiration. If the owner or operator submits a complete application to renew the PAL permit within this time period, the PAL continues to be effective until the revised permit with the renewed PAL is issued. The renewal application shall be submitted in accordance with the requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 127.218(k) and 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(10).
• The company shall show that the sum of the monthly emissions from each source including emissions from start-ups, shutdowns, and malfunctions under the PAL for the previous 12 consecutive months is less than or equal to the PAL (a 12-month total, rolled monthly). To determine the compliance with the PAL, the calculated pollutants emissions for the month shall be added to the previous 11 months calculated pollutant emissions for the total facility.
• A PAL permit that is not renewed in accordance with the requirements in 25 Pa. Code § 127.218(k) & 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(10) shall expire at the end of the PAL effective period and is subject to 25 Pa. Code § 127.218(j) and 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(9).
• The emissions from a new source that requires a plan approval shall be the minimum attainable through the use of BAT. A physical change or change in method of operation at an existing emissions unit will not be subject to BAT requirements unless the emissions unit is modified so that the fixed capital cost of new components exceeds 50% of the fixed capital cost that would be required to construct a comparable entirely new emissions unit.
• At no time (during or after the PAL effective period) are emissions reductions of a PAL pollutant, which occur during the PAL effective period, creditable as decreases for purposes of offsets under Subchapter E and 40 CFR 51.165(a)(3)(ii) unless the level of the PAL is reduced by the amount of emissions reductions and the reductions would be creditable in the absence of the PAL.

• During the effective period, the Department will reopen the PAL permit to:
• Correct typographical/calculation errors made in setting the PAL or reflect a more accurate determination of emissions used to establish the PAL.
• Reduce the PAL if the owner or operator of the major stationary source creates creditable emissions reductions for use as offsets.
• Revise the PAL to reflect an increase in the PAL as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 127.218(l) and 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(11).
• The Department may reopen the permit to:
• Reduce the PAL to reflect newly applicable Federal requirements with compliance dates after the PAL effective date.
• Reduce the PAL consistent with any other requirement that is enforceable as a practical matter and that the Department may impose on the major stationary source.
• Reduce the PAL if the Department determines that a reduction is necessary to avoid causing or contributing to a NAAQS or PSD increment violation, or to an adverse impact on an air quality related value that has been identified for a Federal Class I area by a Federal Land Manager and for which information is available to the general public.
• Except for the permit reopening for the correction of typographical/calculation errors that do not increase the PAL level, other reopening shall be carried out in accordance with the public participation requirements [25 Pa. Code § 127.218(e) & 40 CFR 52.21(aa)(5)].
• To increase the PAL during the effective period, the owner or operator shall submit a complete application to request an increase in the PAL limit for a PAL major modification.
• The NSR requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E do not apply to an owner or operator at which a physical change or change in the method of operation still maintains its total facility-wide emissions below the PAL, meets the requirements in 25 Pa. Code § 127.218 (relating to PALs) and complies with the PAL permit. Any increase in NOx emissions above this PAL will subject the facility to the major NSR requirements.
• The PSD requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D do not apply to any major stationary source for a PAL for a regulated NSR pollutant, as long as the major stationary source complies with the requirements under 40 CFR 52.21(aa). Any increase in NOx emissions above this PAL will subject the facility to the PSD requirements.
