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.

PA-03-00027B: Reliant Energy Northeast Management Company (121 Champion Way, Suite 200, Canonsburg, PA 15317) for installation of a Flue Gas Desulfurization system (FGD) to control emissions from two existing pulverized coal-fired boilers at their Keystone Power Station located in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County.
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44(a), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval to Reliant Energy Northeast Management Company (121 Champion Way, Suite 200, Canonsburg, PA 15317) to authorize the installation of a FGD to control emissions from two existing pulverized coal-fired boilers at their Keystone Power Station located in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County.
The applicant has provided information that the FGD scrubbers are designed to remove approximately 98% of the pollutant SO2 from the boiler stack emissions. PM, PM10, PM25, acid gases and other contaminants are also expected to decrease as a result of this project. Data provided by the applicant indicates that CO, NOx, and VOC emission rates will not be impacted by this project. Actual emission rates for all other psd pollutants such as lead, fluorides and sulfuric acid mist are either expected to decrease or remain at current levels with the FGD in operation. Stack testing to confirm emission rates of the above pollutants will be required. Therefore, since the emission rates of those pollutants listed in 40 CFR 52.21(23) are expected to either decrease or remain unaffected by the installation of the FGD scrubber, this project is not subject to 40 CFR Part 52 requirements.
The Department's definition of major modification retains an exemption from our nonattainment new source review provisions in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E for pollution control projects unless the Department determines that the change renders the source less environmentally beneficial. The department has determined that the scrubber installation is an environmentally beneficial pollution control project and that the requirements of subchapter of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 are not applicable.
The Department requested that reliant conduct modeling analysis to demonstrate that the operation of the FGD will not cause or contribute to violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Reliant's modeling adequately demonstrated that the FGD installation will not cause or contribute to a NAAQS violation or to a violation of any Pennsylvania ambient air quality standard. The plan approval special conditions listed contain emission limitations which are at least as stringent as those used in the model.
For the Department to assure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following Special Conditions on the Plan Approval:
1. This Plan Approval is to allow the installation of a FGD system on the two existing identical boilers each rated at (8,292 mmBtu/hr) at the at Keystone Power Plant located at Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b).

BUREAU OF MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Cobra Mining, LLC's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Dooley Run Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau's website at http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
Summary of the Request: Cobra Mining, LLC requested a variance from section 242(c) of the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Dooley Run Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The AMR MC-4210 CO Monitoring System will provide advance warning of a developing mine fire originating in the conveyor belt entry. When maintained and operating correctly, this system provides warnings much earlier than the point type heat sensors.
2. Common entries would permit the larger section mantrip and scoops access to belt entry for transportation of personnel and supplies.
3. The operator will maintain a separate isolated intake escapeway that is at a higher air pressure than the belt and common entries.
4. The plan provides for the common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway. There will be a total of three separate, isolated escape routes.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the plan and the following conditions:
1. All mine employees shall be task trained in the AMR MC-4210 CO monitoring system alert and alarm response procedures. These procedures shall also be included in the 8-hour annual retraining.
2. As part of the requirements of section 228, all belt entries, common entries and unfenced roadways shall be preshifted in their entirety.
3. Designated areas shall be established as strategic locations along the belt entry and common entry to determine whether the air is traveling in the proper course and normal volume. This air reading shall be taken by a scientific means (anemometer, chemical smoke tube, velometer).
