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, 303, 304 and 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 any 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 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, 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 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)(l)(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 below 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 below, 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears.

AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor 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.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with 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 to the date of the hearing.
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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a RACT plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a wood cabinet manufacturing facility owned and operated by Yorktowne, Inc. in Mifflinburg Borough, Union County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amendment of the RACT approval for the facility which are intended to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Operating Permit OP-60-0002 issued November 30, 1995, and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Operating Permit OP-60-0002, as a revision to that permit, for three 5 million BTU per hour wood-fired boilers, one 14.67 million BTU per hour No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, one .937 million BTU per hour No. 2 fuel oil-fired heater, two 1.269 million BTU per hour No. 2 fuel oil-fired heaters and 2 solvent cleaning sinks:
* The total combined potential to emit volatile organic compounds from each of the following two source categories shall never exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per 12 consecutive month period.
1) No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler and three No. 2 fuel oil-fired heaters
2) Two solvent cleaning sinks
* The three wood-fired boilers shall be operated in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and good air pollution control practices. Additionally, the permittee shall perform an annual inspection and tune-up on each of the respective three boilers and the total combined volatile organic compound emissions from all three boilers shall never exceed 27.5 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on February 22, 2000 at 1 p.m. at the Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
