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.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Northeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790; Mark Wejkszner, New Source Review Chief, (570) 826-2531.
66-315-035: Procter Gamble Paper Product Company (P. O. Box 32, Mehoopany, PA 18629) for modification to a plan approval for construction and operation of two paper machines at their facility in Washington Township, Wyoming County.
The Procter and Gamble Paper Products Company submitted to the Department an application under 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 and it has been reviewed in accordance with all applicable air quality regulations.
The proposed modification and changes are not subject to the requirement of PSD regulations. A preliminary review of the information submitted by The Procter & Gamble Paper Products Company indicates that the construction and operation of the proposed two paper machines will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modification of two paper machines.
The information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis indicates that after modification emissions from these paper machines will either remain the same or have an expected decrease in the NOx emissions. Particulate emissions will be reduced to 54.9 tpy from 63.9 tpy; CO emissions will remain the same at 306 tpy; VOCs will remain the same at 380.2 tpy; and NOx emissions will increase from 162.2 tpy to 206.9 tpy. The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. A decreasing of NOx emissions from the existing boilers by installing low NOx burners will offset NOx emission increases from these two paper machines. No net increase will occurs in NOx emissions from this project, therefore, the modification is not subject to the NSR requirement.
To assure compliance with the applicable standards, the Department will place the following conditions on the plan approval.
1. The stack test shall be performed in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 to show compliance with the applicable standards.
2. NOx emissions from boilers 1, 2 and 4 shall be recorded continuously.
Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval may submit the information to Mark J. Wejkszner, P. E., Chief, Engineering Services, Air Quality Program, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, (570) 826-2531. Written comments should include the name and address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment, identification of proposed Plan Approval 66-315-035 and a 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 previous address. A public conference may be held if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a conference is warranted on the basis of the information received. Persons who submitted comments or requested a conference will be notified of the decision to hold a conference by publication in a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines notification by telephone is sufficient. Comments and requests must be received by the Department by 30 days after final publication date.
