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.

In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(d) and 127.424(d), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to construct two new 7,000 Ton Forge Lines at their Aluminum truck wheel forging plant in Erie, Erie County. This plan approval will restrict the facility-wide emissions of CO to 85 tpy. The facility is Natural Minor as regards potential and actual emissions. The CO restriction will allow for future increases in production and keep the facility's Natural Minor status. The source will also produce trivial amounts of NOx, VOC, PM, PM-10 and SOx from the burners. The emissions are based on a 12-month rolling total. The facility will be required to inspect the burners on a monthly basis and tune the burners on an annual basis. The permittee will be required to monitor the quantity of natural gas consumed by the burners. The plan approval will also include additional monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping conditions and other requirements to ensure the source is operated in compliance with the Department's regulations contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143 and the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into a State-only Operating Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date. Issuance of the plan approval is recommended with the appropriate conditions in the plan approval.
25-648D: NEPA Energy, LP (10915 Ackerman Road, North East, PA 16428) to de-rate an existing 146 mmBtu natural gas fired boiler to 99 mmBtu and to install gas-fired nozzles limited to fire 99 mmBtu/hr in the Borough of North East, Erie County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval for their plant in the Borough of North East, Erie County. This plan approval will authorize the applicant to de-rate an existing 146 mmBtu natural gas fired boiler to 99 mmBtu and to install gas-fired nozzles limited to fire 99 mmBtu/hr. The existing Low-NOx burner with induced flue gas recirculation will remain in place for use at high fire operations. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the company's State-only Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450. Normal operations will be around 50 mmBtu. The boiler's hours of operation will be dependent on the ABCO primary boiler. The Zurn boiler will only be operated if the ABCO Boiler should go down due to malfunction or servicing.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and Department's own analysis, the natural gas fired boiler will emit 43.4 tons of NOx per year and 13.9 tons of CO per year. Actual emissions will decrease for both pollutants with the de-rating. The facility does not want to take emission limitations for the site. The highest load rating occurs during the Autumn months, September through October, where the steam power generated is directed to the Welch's Food Processing Plant across the street. The Department has accepted that the emissions generated from this source will be much lower than requested in the application.
Anyone wishing to provide Department with additional information they believe should be considered may submit the information to the address shown. Comments must be received, by the Department, within 30 days of the last day of publication. Written comments should include the following:
