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 Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

 The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

AIR QUALITY

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.

 In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue Plan Approval No. 58-329-008 to Tennessee gas Pipeline Company, 1001 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, for their facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. The facility currently has Title V Permit No. 58-00001. This plan approval will be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date, and the action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 Plan Approval No. 58-329-008 is for the construction and operation of three (3) natural gas fired simple cycle combustion turbines and an emergency generator at the facility located in Clifford Township, Susquehanna County. These new turbines and generator will replace existing three recuperated turbines and generator operating at the facility under Title V operating permit No. 58-00001. These three combustion turbines will be use to move gas through the pipeline system. Natural gas will be use as a fuel for the turbines and generator.

 The proposed sources are subject to the various state and federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements.

 A review of the information submitted by the Tennessee gas Pipeline Co. indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable State and Federal NSPS air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.

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

Pollutant Total Project
(TPY)
NOx 54.45
CO 71.60
VOC 19.21
SO2 2.00
PM/PM10 3.90
Formaldehyde 0.89
Total HAPs 1.01

 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, the Department will place conditions in the plan approval.

 The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

 Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
