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, 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 as 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's Regional Office under 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 listed.

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.
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. Comments or protests filed with the Department's 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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Keystone Cement Company Operating Permit No. 48-309-109 and Multipathway Risk Assessment and Draft Intent to Issue Permit Modification of the Hazardous Waste Storage Permit Public Hearing Notice The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public hearing for the Department to take testimony concerning the air quality permit for Keystone Cement Company's (Keystone) Nos. 1 and 2 cement kilns and associated risk assessment study. This modified permit application reflects Keystone's withdrawal of its request to increase the use of hazardous waste fuel and, thereby, restricts hazardous waste fuel usage to the total daily feed rate currently permitted at the facility. Additionally, the types of hazardous waste that Keystone will be permitted to accept and fire remain unchanged and are specified in the Department's Hazardous Waste Storage Permit PAD002389559 issued December 27, 1991. This permit application does allow hourly hazardous waste feed rate flexibility between the two cement kilns such that the hourly feed rate does not exceed those established in the risk assessment, and the daily combined total hazardous waste feed does not exceed the existing permitted level. In conjunction with the operating permit, Keystone conducted a risk assessment that was submitted in June 1998 on which the Department seeks comment.
In a separate action, the Department also intends to issue permit modification of the hazardous waste storage permit, PAD002389559. The Department is modifying this permit to account for significant site design, construction and operational changes which have occurred following the December 8, 1997, incident at the Keystone Cement facility. The modification identifies the types of hazardous waste that Keystone Cement Company will be allowed to accept and fire. A public meeting was held on April 8, 1998, to discuss the Department's scope of the investigation and the findings on the incident. As a result of the investigation, the public meeting and Keystone's proposal for modifying the facility design and operation, the Department entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Keystone Cement Company. The Consent Order and Agreement allowed Keystone Cement Company to resume hazardous waste fuels storage operations. In addition, the modified permit contains new or modified requirements applicable to this facility which has resulted from revisions to the hazardous waste regulations (found in the May 1, 1999, Pennsylvania Bulletin, Volume 29, Number 18).
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed air quality operating permit, the risk assessment and intent to modify the hazardous waste storage permit. The hearing will be held on November 16, 1999, at 7 p.m. at the Northampton High School, Laubach Avenue, Northampton, PA. The public is invited to comment on the draft operating permit, risk assessment and modifications to the hazardous waste storage permit. The major provisions of the operating permit follow. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
The pertinent documents are available for review at the Department's district office, 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments for scheduling a review can be made by calling (610) 861-2070.
The general procedures for the hearing are as follows:
To develop an agenda for the hearing, the Department requests that individuals wishing to testify at the hearing submit a written notice of their intent. The notice should be sent to Thomas A. DiLazaro, Hearing Examiner, Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790. The Department will accept notices up to the day of the public hearing.
This written notice should include the person's name, address, telephone number and a brief description as to the nature of the testimony. Individuals who submit a notice of intent to testify will be given priority on the agenda. If time permits, the Department will allow individuals who have not submitted a notice of intent to testify to present their comments.
Each individual will have up to 10 minutes to present testimony. The Department requests that individuals present written copies of their testimony in addition to their oral presentations.
To insure that all speakers have a fair and equal opportunity to present their testimony, relinquishing of time will be prohibited. Further details relating to the procedures to be followed at the hearing will be outlined at the beginning of the hearing.
