LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1


Acknowledgment of Notice(s) 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 (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent (NOI) to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a NOI to Remediate is used to identify a site where an individual proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Individuals 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 NOI to Remediate with DEP. A NOI to Remediate filed with DEP 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. An individual who demonstrates attainment of one, or 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 DEP. Furthermore, an individual shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible individuals 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 NOI to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following identified site(s), 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 following specified date. During this comment period the municipality may request that the following identified individual, 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 plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.

 Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

AIR QUALITY

PLAN APPROVALS AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

 The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, the regulated community and the general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.

 The DEP received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, DEP's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and telephone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.

 Individuals wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the DEP's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.

 Any individual wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when DEP determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP Regional Office.

 Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

 Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

PLAN APPROVALS


Notice of Intent to Issue Plan Approval(s) and Notice of Intent to Issue or Amend Operating Permit(s) Under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B. These Actions May Include the Administrative Amendments of an Associated Operating Permit.

Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, 484-250-5900.

Contact: Janine Tulloch-Reid, Facilities Permitting Chief, 484-250-5920.

46-0044D: Glasgow, Inc., Church & Flint Hills Roads, King of Prussia, PA 19406, Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County. Application received: October 31, 2022. This action is to replace one of the three existing secondary crushers of the secondary stone crushing plant (Source ID 108A) at its McCoy Quarry facility with a new secondary crusher. The facility is located in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, and is a non-Title V facility. Particulate matter (''PM'') emissions from the replacement secondary crusher will be controlled by the existing water spray dust suppression system and enclosure associated with the secondary stone crushing plant. As the rated capacity of the replacement secondary crusher is less than that of the existing secondary crusher that is proposed to be replaced, no increase in the potential to emit PM is expected from the project. The plan approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. Anyone wishing to request information regarding this action can do so by contacting the Southeast Regional Office through the contact person listed in the previously listed header. Comments on the draft plan approval can be submitted through the Air Quality resource account at RA-EPSEROAQPUBCOM@ pa.gov.

23-0119K: Energy Transfer Marketing & Terminals, LP (ETMT), 100 Green Street, Marcus Hook, PA 19061-0426, Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware County. Application received: February 14, 2022.

 Notice is hereby given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.45 that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval No. 23-0119K to ETMT to expand the ethane chilling capacity at the Marcus Hook Terminal, its existing Title V facility located in Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware County, from 75,000 bbl/day to approximately 85,000 bbl/day.

 ETMT has proposed the following to accommodate the expansion (collectively referred to as the ''Ethane Chilling Expansion Project''):

 • The installation and temporary operation of the following ethane chilling process equipment:

 • A new (fourth) ethane chiller train, consisting of a mixed refrigerant liquid compressor and heat exchanger, ethane chiller, and related equipment, in parallel with the three existing ethane chiller trains at the Marcus Hook Terminal.

 • A new boil-off gas (BOG) system, consisting of a compressor, chiller, and related equipment.

 • New piping, fugitive emissions components, and process vents associated with the new ethane chiller train and BOG system.

 • Updated piping and fugitive emissions components for existing ethane chilling process equipment (i.e., the feed metering, feed heating, amine treatment, and demethanizer off-gas systems).

 • Incremental sweep, operational, maintenance, and emergency flows from the new ethane chiller train to the West Cold Flare (Source ID C01) permitted under Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) No. 23-00119 and Plan Approval No. 23-0119E (revised).

 • Incremental operational, maintenance, and emergency flows from the new BOG system to the Project Phoenix Cold Flare (Source ID C04) authorized under Plan Approval No. 23-0119J.

 • Incremental steam demand (~23,673 lbs/hr) on the three existing auxiliary boilers (1 and 3-4; Source IDs 031 and 033-034) permitted under TVOP No. 23-00119 and Plan Approval No. 23-0119E (revised) by existing ethane chilling process equipment (i.e., the dehydrators and water/ethylene glycol (WEG) system utility), as well as for maintenance purposes, to support the additional ethane throughput.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(a)(2)(iv)(c) and (d), DEP has determined the following emissions increases for the proposed Ethane Chilling Expansion Project:

 • Carbon Monoxide [CO]: 2.033 tons/yr

 • Greenhouse Gases (GHG) [CO2e]: 17,454 tons/yr

 • Lead [Pb]: 0.00117 ton/yr

 • Nitrogen Oxides [NOx] (all NOx expressed as nitrogen dioxide [NO2]): 4.132 tons/yr

 • Particulate Matter [PM]: 0.165 ton/yr

 • PM less than 10 µm in aerodynamic diameter [PM10]: 0.165 ton/yr

 • PM less than 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter [PM2.5]: 0.165 ton/yr

 • Sulfur dioxide [SO2]: 0.455 ton/yr

 • Sulfuric Acid Mist [H2SO4]: 0.00678 ton/yr

 • Volatile organic compounds [VOCs]: 4.809 tons/yr

 In accordance with a 2019 adjudication decision by the Environmental Hearing Board, DEP has evaluated the Ethane Chilling Expansion Project and all past authorizations for sources and equipment related to the natural gas liquids (NGLs) processing, storage, and distribution operations at the Marcus Hook Terminal as a single aggregated project to determine the applicability of Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (PSD) and New Source Review (NSR) requirements. The authorizations comprising the single aggregated project are as follows (in reverse chronological order):

 • The Ethane Chilling Expansion Project under Plan Approval No. 23-0119K (complete application received on March 9, 2022).

 • De minimis Emissions Increase (written notice received January 4, 2022).

 • Request for Determination of Changes of Minor Significance and Exemption from Plan Approval/Operating Permit (RFD) No. 9332 (approved September 3, 2021).

 • De minimis Emissions Increase (written notice received May 19, 2021).

 • RFD No. 9156 (approved May 13, 2021).

 • Plan Approval Nos. 23-0119E (revised) and 23-0119J (concurrently issued on February 12, 2021). [Note: DEP previously reevaluated all prior authorizations for sources and equipment related to the NGLs processing, storage, and distribution operations at the Marcus Hook Terminal under Plan Approval No. 23-0119E (revised) to determine the applicability of PSD and NSR requirements up to that point.]

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(a)(2)(iv)(c) and (d), DEP has determined the following emissions increases for the single aggregated project:

 • CO: 103.26 tons/yr

 • CO2e: 260,756 tons/yr

 • H2SO4: 0.0642 ton/yr

 • NO2: 63.04 tons/yr

 • Pb: 0.00801 ton/yr

 • PM: 4.039 tons/yr

 • PM10: 3.829 tons/yr

 • PM2.5: 1.983 tons/yr

 • SO2: 17.94 tons/yr

 • VOCs: 182.41 tons/yr

 Based on the definition of the term ''significant emissions increase'' in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(40), DEP has determined that the single aggregated project results in significant emissions increases of CO, CO2e, NO2, and PM2.5 (the latter based on NOx being a PM2.5 precursor). Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(b)(3), DEP has performed a netting analysis summing these significant emissions increases with other contemporaneous increases in actual emissions at the Marcus Hook Terminal and determined the following net emissions increases for the single aggregated project:

 • CO: 103.90 tons/yr

 • CO2e: 260,855 tons/yr

 • NO2: 63.16 tons/yr

 Based on the definition of the term ''significant'' in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(23) and 25 Pa. Code § 121.1, the single aggregated project is a major modification subject to the PSD requirements of 40 CFR 52.21; adopted in their entirety by DEP and incorporated by reference under 25 Pa. Code § 127.83; for CO, CO2e, NO2, and PM2.5.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(j)(1), the major modification is required to meet each applicable emissions limitation under the State Implementation Plan and each applicable emissions standard under 40 CFR Parts 60—63. All applicable emissions limitations and standards for the sources and equipment of the single aggregated project have been previously included in TVOP No. 23-00119 and Plan Approval Nos. 23-0119E (revised) and 23-0119J, and/or are addressed under Plan Approval No. 23-0119K.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(j)(3), DEP has addressed best available control technology (BACT) requirements for the following sources and equipment of the single aggregated project:

 • West Cold Flare (Source ID C01).

 • East Cold Flare (Source ID C02).

 • Project Phoenix Cold Flare (Source ID C04).

 • Fugitive emissions components (Source IDs 103, 401, and 501).

 ETMT has performed air quality analyses for the proposed major modification at its Marcus Hook Terminal using air dispersion modeling that satisfy the requirements of the PSD regulations. Data associated with ETMT's air quality analyses are available in electronic format upon request.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(k)—(n), ETMT conducted air quality analyses of the net emissions increase of CO, NOx, and PM2.5 for the proposed major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal. ETMT's source impact analyses demonstrate that the net emissions increase due to the major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal would not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for CO, NO2, or PM2.5. Additionally, ETMT's source impact analyses demonstrate that the net emissions increase due to the major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal would not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of the Class II or Class I PSD increments for NO2 or PM2.5.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(o), ETMT provided additional impact analyses of the impairment to visibility, soils, and vegetation that would occur as a result of the major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal.

 In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(p), written notice of ETMT's proposed major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal has been provided to the Federal Land Managers of nearby Federal Class I areas. The notice included initial screening calculations which demonstrate that the net emissions increase due to the major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal would have negligible impacts on air quality related values and visibility in nearby Federal Class I areas. In accordance with the public notice requirements in 25 Pa. Code § 127.45(b)(4), the degree of Class II and Class I PSD increment consumption expected to result from ETMT's major modification of Marcus Hook Terminal is provided in the following tables:

 In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203a and 127.203(b)(1)(i), DEP has performed an NSR analysis to determine whether the aggregated emissions increases of NOx or VOCs (i.e., the sum of the emissions increases for the single aggregated project and the other increases in net emissions occurring over a consecutive 5 calendar-year period), exceed 25 tons/yr. The aggregated emissions increases of NOx and VOCs are the following:

 • NOx: 63.15 tons/yr

 • VOCs: 183.88 tons/yr

 Therefore, the single aggregated project is subject to NSR requirements for both NOx and VOCs, and ETMT is required to implement Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203(b)(2) and 127.205(1), and offset the aggregated emissions increases of NOx and VOCs in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201(d) and 127.210(a). Based on the required offset ratio of 1.3:1, ETMT is required to surrender 82.09 tons of NOx Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) and 239.04 tons of VOC ERCs for the single aggregated project. ETMT has previously surrendered, and DEP has previously retired, 79.15 tons of NOx ERCs and 193.79 tons of VOC ERCs under previously issued Plan Approvals for certain sources and equipment under the single aggregated project. Moreover, ETMT is still required to surrender 49.93 tons of VOC ERCs under Plan Approval No. 23-0119J prior to the commencement of operation of the sources and equipment under that Plan Approval. Therefore, to fully offset the aggregated emissions increases of NOx, ETMT is required to surrender an additional 2.94 tons of NOx ERCs for the single aggregated project (based on differences with the timeframes DEP used to determine the other increases in net emissions of VOCs between Plan Approval No. 23-0119E (revised) and Plan Approval No. 23-0119K, ETMT is not required to surrender any additional VOC ERCs).

 To satisfy LAER requirements, DEP has added more stringent leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements for the fugitive emissions components of the single aggregated project.

 Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46, a public comment period will begin on August 5, 2023, for the submission of written comments, suggestions, objections, or other information regarding the proposed Plan Approval.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS

 This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).

 The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.

Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities

 For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).

 The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:

30-Day Daily Instantaneous
Parameter Average MaximumMaximum
Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l
Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l
Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l
pH must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0.
Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity.

 A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

 Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities

 The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 77.522 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters DEP may require.

 Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
