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--6026.908).

   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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   59-304-008G: ACP Manufacturing Co., LLC (P. O. Box 68, Blossburg, PA 16912) for modification of a cast iron parts surface coating dip tank in the company's iron foundry facility in Lawrence Township, Tioga County.

   The respective dip tank is used to coat cast iron parts to provide corrosion resistance. The respective modification is an increase in the allowable VOC emission limitation for the dip tank from the current limit of .9 ton of VOC in any 12-consecutive month period to 3.72 tons of VOCs in any 12-consecutive month period. The increase in the allowable VOC emissions for the facility as a whole however will be only 1.82 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, rather than 2.82 tons, due to the fact that ACP Manufacturing Co., LLC was previously allowed to emit up to 1.0 ton of VOCs from cleanup activities associated with the operation of the dip tank but will no longer need to perform these activities with VOC-containing materials.

   The facility will remain a minor (non-Title V) facility following the proposed modification.

   The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by ACP Manufacturing Co., LLC indicates that the dip tank will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants following modification, including the VOC emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52 and the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the dip tank.

   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 VOC emissions from the dip tank shall not exceed 3.72 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.

   2.  The only materials which shall be placed in the dip tank, other than water and the parts to be coated, are coating which contains no more than .12 pound of VOCs per gallon of coating (as received from the vendor) and flow control additive which contains no more than 8.3 pounds of VOCs per gallon of additive (as received from the vendor). Additionally, neither the coating nor the flow control additive shall contain any volatile HAPs.

   PA 48-328-008: Bethlehem Renewable Energy, LLC (1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209) for construction and operation of a single Solar Taurus 60 combustion turbine generator unit, to produce electricity from burning landfill gas as a fuel in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County.

   In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Bethlehem Renewable Energy LLC (the Permittee), 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1600, Arlington, VA 22209, for the proposed landfill gas fired turbine project to be located in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County as described in the Permittee's October 11, 2005, Plan Approval Application and subsequent supplemental submissions.

   The application for plan approval is for construction and operation of a single Solar Taurus 60 combustion turbine generator unit, to produce electricity from burning landfill gas as a fuel. The primary objective of this facility is to recover useful energy from the landfill gas, which is currently being combusted in an enclosed ground flare. Once the turbine is brought online, the turbine will replace the existing flare as the primary source for combusting the landfill gas.

   The proposed project is subject to the various State and Federal New Source Performance Standard requirements.

   A review of the information submitted by Bethlehem Renewable Energy LLC indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable state and Federal NSPS air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, Department of Environmental Protection plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.

   The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the turbine according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis:

Pollutant Tons Per Year
NOx 50.41
VOCs 10.43
SO2   4.54
CO 73.07
PM=PM10=PM2.5   6.16
HCL   1.34

   The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

   To assure compliance with the applicable standards, Department will place the conditions in the plan approval.

   Persons wishing to provide the Department with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of the Plan Approval, may submit the information to the address shown.
