LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

   Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department regional offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

   08-00020: Calvin C. Cole, Inc. (27321 Route 220, Milan, PA 18831) for renewal of State-only Operating Permit 08-00020 for operation of an asphalt concrete production facility (''asphalt plant'') in Athens Township, Bradford County.

   The facility incorporates a 150 ton per hour natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-fired drum mix asphalt concrete plant, a .8 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired asphalt heater, a 443 horsepower diesel fuel-fired electric generator and three aboveground storage tanks (asphalt, No. 2 fuel oil and diesel fuel). The PM emissions from the drum mix asphalt concrete plant are controlled by a fabric collector.

   The facility has the potential to emit up to 25.54 tons of SOx, 16.79 tons of CO, 12.93 tons of VOCs, 12.33 tons of NOx, 6.62 tons of PM/PM10 and .22 ton of HAPs per year.

   The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 08-00020. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 08-00020 with these exceptions, additions and changes:

   1.  A condition limiting the sulfur content of all No. 2 fuel oil and diesel fuel used in the facility to .5% (by weight) has been modified to only apply to No. 2 fuel oil.

   2.  Conditions concerning the monitoring of No. 2 fuel oil sulfur content and the maintenance of records of this information have been modified to eliminate a monitoring option which the Department has determined does not provide the compliance demonstration originally intended and to require the maintenance of more comprehensive records of No. 2 fuel oil sulfur content.

   3.  Conditions requiring a weekly inspection of the facility for the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of this information, have been removed from the permit as the Department does not believe that the performance of inspections at this facility will have any significant impact on the maintenance of compliance with applicable air contaminant emission limitations and requirements.

   4.  A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been revised to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.

   5.  A condition requiring the drum mix asphalt plant fabric collector temperature and pressure differential to be recorded at least once per day has been removed from the permit.

   6.  A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance with the PM and VOC emission limitations'' for the drum mix asphalt plant has been removed from the permit as it is not possible to verify compliance with the applicable emission limitations with ''calculations.''

   7.  A condition has been added to the permit requiring the performance of PM stack testing on the drum mix asphalt plant sometime between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009.

   8.  A condition prohibiting the storage of any VOC-containing liquid with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psi in the asphalt and No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks has been replaced with a condition restricting the tanks to the storage of asphalt and No. 2 fuel oil.

   9.  A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the materials stored in the asphalt and No. 2 fuel oil storage tanks has been replaced with a condition requiring the maintenance of records of the identity of the materials stored in the respective tanks.
