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.

Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) provides notice that CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 311, Towanda, PA 18848) has submitted to the Department a plan approval application for the following modifications of boiler no. 3 and associated dry fuel handling equipment at the Towanda plant located in Wysox Township, Bradford County: increase the annual average steam rate from 125,000 lbs/hr to 150,000 lbs/hr with a corresponding increase in the annual average heat input from 190.4 mmBtu/hr to 233.4 mmBtu/hr, increase the 24-hour average heat input rate from 242.4 mmBtu/hr to 273.2 mmBtu/hr, and increase the throughput to dry fuel handling equipment from 136,700 dry tons per year to 201,702 dry tons per year. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (08-00003) has been issued. The Department intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the applicant to perform the modifications.
The proposed modifications have the potential to emit the following type and amount of air contaminants: CO--344.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, VOC--35.3 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, NO--201.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, PM--44 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, PM10--24.5 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, SOx--56.9 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, hydrogen chloride--35.8 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, mercury--6.8 lbs in any 12-consecutive month period and approximately 9.6 tons per year of ammonia. In addition, the proposed throughput increase to dry fuel handling equipment would result in a PM emission increase of 2.7 tons per year and 2.5 tons per year of PM10.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed boiler modifications will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Db--Standards of Performance for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units and 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.11, 123.13 and 123.41. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed modifications. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the operating permit by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The Department proposes to place in the plan approval the following conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The conditions contained in Title V operating permit 08-00003 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by conditions contained herein. If there is a conflict between a condition or requirement contain in this plan approval and a condition or requirement contained in Title V operating permit 08-00003, the permittee shall comply with the condition or requirement contained in this plan approval rather than the conflicting condition or requirement contained in Title V Operating Permit 08-00003.

41-327-003A: PMF Industries, Inc. (2601 Reach Road, Williamsport, PA 17701) for the modification of a batch vapor degreaser in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The batch vapor degreaser uses trichloroethylene, which has been designated as both a VOC and a HAP by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, to clean metal parts. It is equipped with a refrigerated freeboard chiller to help reduce trichloroethylene emissions. The proposed modification is an increase in the allowable trichloroethylene emissions from the batch vapor degreaser from the current limit of 9.99 tons per year to 13.0 tons per year.
The facility in which the batch vapor degreaser is located is not currently a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant but will become one for hazardous air pollutants after the proposed modification has occurred. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) review of the information provided by PMF Industries, Inc. indicates that the modified batch vapor degreaser should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart T of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 63.460--63.470 (Halogenated Solvent Cleaning). Based on this finding, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modification.
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 regulatory requirements:
1. Conditions contained in Operating Permit 41-327-003 remain in effect unless superseded or amended by a condition contained herein.
2. The amount of trichloroethylene used in the batch vapor degreaser shall not exceed 13.0 tons in any 12-consecutive month period. In determining compliance with this limit, any trichloroethylene shipped off-site in liquid form need not be counted as usage provided it is 100% trichloroethylene. Mixtures of trichloroethylene, sludge, and the like, may not be excluded or subtracted unless the trichloroethylene content for each drum or other container of the mixture has been determined through appropriate analysis and then only the trichloroethylene portion may be excluded.
3. The permittee shall maintain accurate and comprehensive records of the amount of trichloroethylene added to the batch vapor degreaser each month as well as the amount of 100% trichloroethylene shipped offsite each month. If the permittee excludes or subtracts from the monthly trichloroethylene usage total, any trichloro- ethylene that is contained in a mixture of trichloro- ethylene and sludge or trichloroethylene and any other material which is shipped offsite, records must also be maintained of the amount of trichloroethylene in each such shipment, the date of shipment, the trichloro- ethylene content of each drum or container shipped and a description of the analytical method used to determine the trichloroethylene content. Records maintained under this condition shall be retained onsite for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
4. Within 120 days of being notified by the Department to submit a Title V operating permit application for the facility in which the batch vapor degreaser is located, the permittee shall submit a complete and comprehensive application to the Department.
