LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995

PREAMBLE 3


The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

   For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

De Minimis Emissions Increases Authorized under 25 Pa. Code § 127.449.

   Southwest Region: Air Quality Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, Barbara Hatch, Facilities Permitting Chief, (412) 442-4174.

   63-00016: Allegheny Energy Supply Co., LLC (800 Cabin Hill Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601) for de minimis emission increase of 0.0027 ton PM10 per year resulting from the installation of two evaporative coolers on or about June 18, 2007 at the Mitchell Generating Station located in Union Township, Washington County.

   Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Matthew Williams, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.

   61-00198: Handsome Lake Energy, LLC (173 Cornplanter Lane, Kennerdell, PA 16374) for their facility in Rockland Township, Venango County. The de minimis increases are a result of an increase in the gas usage while decreasing the short-term emission factor. The emission factor was verified through initial performance testing in September 2001, and also quarterly testing (with a portable NOx analyzer) each year since the initial tests. The Department of Environmental Protection has started a list of de minimis increases as prescribed in 25 Pa. Code § 127.449(i).

   The de minimis increase thresholds are based on increases from a single source during the term of the permit and facility-wide increases during the term of the permit. The current Operating Permit was issued on August 19, 2002 and expires on July 31, 2007. There were no other de minimis increases at the facility during the term of the permit. The de minimis increases and proposed new emission limits are as follows:

Pollutant Current Limit
(tpy)
Proposed Limit
(tpy)
Increase
(tpy)
De minimis increase threshold (tpy)
CO 60.4 68.2 7.8 4 tpy single source
20 tpy facility-wide
VOC   7.5   8.5 1.0 1 tpy single source
5 tpy facility-wide
SO2   2.6   2.9 0.3 1.6 tpy single source
8.0 tpy facility-wide
PM10 10.9 12.3 1.4 0.6 tpy single source

SPECIAL NOTICES


Notice of Intent to Use Coal Ash as Structural Fill per 25 Pa. Code § 287.661 (relating to use as structural fill) of the residual waste regulations.

   Northeast Region: Regional Solid Waste Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790.

   The Department of Environmental Protection, per 25 Pa. Code § 287.661(c), is hereby publishing a summary of an intent to use coal ash as structural fill allow for public comment. Per 25 Pa. Code § 287.1 ''structural fill'' is defined as the ''engineered use of coal ash as a base or foundation for a construction activity that is completed promptly after the placement of the coal ash, including the use of coal ash as a backfill material for retaining walls, foundations, ramps or other structures. The term does not include valley fills or the use of solid waste to fill open pits from coal or noncoal mining.''

Summary

   User of Coal Ash: PPL Generation, LLC

   Location of Use: The location of use is at the PPL Martins Creek Industrial Waste Treatment Basin (IWTB), located in Lower Mt. Bethel Township, Northampton County.

   Description of Use: Approximately 15,000 to 20,000 cubic yards of coal ash will be used as structural fill to support the replaced liner system for the Industrial Waste Treatment Basin, following excavation of any unsuitable subsoils at the IWTB location. The ash was generated by PPL and previously managed in the Ash Basin No. 1 (ID# 301256).

   No intermediate unloading or stockpiling is proposed prior to use as structural fill per 25 Pa. Code § 287.661. The structural fill aspect of this construction project would begin at the end of August 2007, and be completed when the IWTB liner system has been replaced.
