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. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

 The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

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.

 Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

OPERATING PERMITS

Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

 Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

 Contact: Janine Tulloch-Reid, Facilities Permitting Chief—Telephone: 484-250-5920.

 23-00011: Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminal, L.P.—Darby Creek Tank Farm (Hook & Calcon Hook Roads, Sharon Hill, PA 19079) located in Darby Township, Delaware County, for a renewal of Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) No. 23-00011. The facility's air emissions sources consist of 26 external floating roof (crude oil [24] or crude oil/transmix [2]) storage tanks, a fixed roof (waste oil) storage tank, and a wastewater separator. The external floating roof storage tanks and the fixed roof storage tank are subject to volatile organic compound (VOC) emission rate restrictions of 95 tons/yr and 2 tons/yr, respectively (both calculated monthly as a 12-month rolling sum).

 The TVOP was most recently modified in April 2016 to permit the storage of transmix (or any other volatile organic liquid with a true vapor pressure of less than 11 psia under actual storage conditions) in two of the external floating roof storage tanks at the facility, not only crude oil. As part of the renewal, the rest of the external floating roof storage tanks will also be permitted to store transmix (though the projected transmix throughput for the facility of 2,100,000 gallons per month will not change).

 In addition, SPMT has conducted a review of the facility to determine whether it is subject to any of the additional Reasonably Available Control Technology requirements for major sources of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as codified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100 (RACT II). The external floating roof storage tanks and the fixed roof storage tank are already subject to RACT I requirements for storage tanks pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 129.56 and, thus, are exempt from RACT II requirements. While the wastewater separator has historically been subject to a VOC emission rate restriction of 10 tons/yr, calculated monthly as a 12-month rolling sum, SPMT has recently determined that the potential to emit VOCs from the wastewater separator is actually less than 1.0 tons/yr. To ensure that the wastewater separator is not considered subject to RACT II requirements, as part of the renewal, the VOC emission rate restriction for the wastewater separator will be removed from the TVOP.

 The facility is not subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (''CAM'') requirements of 40 CFR Part 64.

 The Title V Operating Permit will continue to include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
