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.

67-05083: Conectiv Mid-Merit, LLC (P. O. Box 6066, 92 DC 72, Newark, DE 19714-6066) for construction of a combined cycle electric generating facility. The proposed facility is to be in Peach Bottom Township, York County, off Atom Road, along Pikes Peak Road, approximately one mile northeast of the Borough of Delta.
Plan Approval 67-05083 was originally issued on January 5, 2007. The plan approval has been modified as follows:
Fuel Oil Sulfur Content
The liquid distillate fuel oil fired in the combustion turbines is required to be ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm (as defined by ASTM Standard D975 Table 1). The original air quality modeling was done using low sulfur diesel (0.05 wt% S) and predicted possible impacts on the Class I areas during firing of fuel oil. A plan approval condition had been included to limit maximum daily fuel oil firing to prevent visibility impacts at the Class I areas. The requirement to use ULSD (0.0015 wt% S) allows increased daily firing of fuel oil. The daily maximum fuel oil firing limits have been changed to reflect the use of ULSD. The annual limit for oil-fired operation has not changed.
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines
The requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK had been incorporated into the plan approval. The NOx limit for natural gas firing was incorrectly designated as 25 ppm and has now been corrected to 15 ppm. The NOx limits in the plan approval modification are as follows:
Fuel type NOx Emission Limit Natural Gas 15 ppm at 15% O2 or 0.43 lb/MW-hr of useful output Oil 42 ppm at 15% O2 or 1.3 lb/MW-hr of useful output Ammonia Slip
The 5 ppmvd one-hour limit restriction in the plan approval has been replaced with a 5 ppmvd 24-hour rolling block average and a 7 ppmvd 3-hour rolling block average, volume corrected to 15% oxygen. Conectiv is proposing to use a continuous emissions monitor (CEM) to ensure compliance with the ammonia slip limit.
Emissions Testing
Section E, SG01, Condition No. 018 has been revised as follows:
Within 60 days after achieving the maximum firing rate, but not later than 180 days after start-up and, if warranted and requested by the Department of Environmental Protection based on the results of initial testing, each subsequent year of temporary operation thereafter, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with each of the emission limits established in Conditions Nos. 001, 002, 009 and 010 above and opacity, as per 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139, 40 CFR Part 60 and Title IV.
Further testing will be required in the operating permit. The schedule will be determined based on the emissions testing and CEM data collected during temporary operation.
Subpart GG
Subpart GG has been replaced by the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK. Section E, Condition No. 026 has been revised to remove reference to Subpart GG.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
12-399-016A: Micron Research Corporation (P. O. Box 269, Emporium, PA 15834) for construction and operation of a four 2,000 pound electric induction furnaces (Source ID P120), six natural gas fired bake furnaces (Source ID P115) and a Baker Perkins double arm mixer (Source ID P110) at their facility in Shippen Township, Cameron County. The PM emissions from the proposed double arm mixer and the existing mixer will be controlled by an existing cartridge collector. Additionally, the air contaminant emissions from each carbon bake furnace will be controlled by a natural gas fired thermal afterburner. The facility proposed to install and operate six natural gas fired thermal afterburners (ID C115) to control emissions from the bake furnaces. The operation of the proposed sources will increase the production capacity at the facility. However, the facility will remain as a State-only facility.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information contained in the application submitted by Micron indicates that the sources and the aircleaning devices will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the PM emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the SOx emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 and the visible emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. The plan approval, if issued, will subsequently be incorporated in an operating permit by means of an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response Macoby Creek HSCA Site, Upper Hanover Township,
Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing an interim response at the Macoby Creek HSCA Site (Site) in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, PA.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of HSCA, has conducted an investigation of the Site at 1400 Spring Valley Road, in Upper Hanover Township, where an electroplating facility operated from the early 1950s until the early 1980s. Records show that the electroplater discharged spent wastewater into two clay-lined lagoons on the property. The Department's investigation included onsite soil sampling, the installation and sampling of 36 monitoring wells and sampling of nearby home wells. Sampling results show Site soils under the plant building, near a loading dock and under two former lagoons to be contaminated with trichloroethylene and cadmium. Water sampling results indicate that the building is also the source of groundwater contamination as well.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an Interim Response action at the Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department is proposing the demolition of the building and excavation and removal of contaminated soils to a designated hazardous waste landfill and/or residual waste landfill. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action, in-situ stabilization or ex-situ treatment of the soils.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Project Officer Mark Conaron at (484) 250-5730 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Upper Hanover Township Administrative Building at 1704 Pillsbury Road, East Greenville, PA 18041.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(d)), for November 29, 2007, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Upper Hanover Township Administrative Building, 1704 Pillsbury Road, East Greenville, PA 18041. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering before the hearing by calling the Department Community Relations Coordinator, Lynda Rebarchak at (484) 250-5820.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing and will require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak at the telephone number listed previously or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed interim response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business on January 25, 2008. Written comments should be addressed to Mark Conaron, Project Officer, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Comments can also be sent by means of email to mconaron@state.pa.us
Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Mark Conaron at (484) 250-5730.
Public Notice of Proposed Consent
Order and Agreement
Department of Environmental Protection
Mays Properties, Inc., Silver Lane Site
Robinson Township, Allegheny CountyUnder section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO & A) with Aristech Chemical Corporation (Aristech) and Beazer East, Inc. (Beazer) concerning the cleanup of the Mays Properties, Inc., Silver Lane Site (Site).
The Site is approximately 3.3 acres in area and consists of approximately 3.2 acres presently owned by Mays Properties, Inc. (Site Owner), located at 1143 Silver Lane, McKees Rocks, Robinson Township, Allegheny County, PA and a small adjacent area less than .1 acre owned by Showcase Properties, Inc.
Beginning in approximately 1977 and continuing until approximately 1979, Beazer's predecessor, Koppers Company, Inc., contracted with Mays Corporation to remove and dispose of various of its waste streams, including maleic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride residue and phthalic anhydride benzoic (lights). Aristech's predecessor, USS Chemicals, contracted with Mays Corporation to remove and dispose of various of its waste streams from the USS Chemicals plant located on Neville Island, Allegheny County, PA. These waste streams included maleic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride benzoic and polyester waste.
In 1995, Department investigations disclosed the illegal disposal by Mays Corporation of various waste streams at the Site, including solidified benzoic lights and phthalic anhydride heavy ends the Department believes to have been generated at the Koppers' western PA plants and at USS Chemicals' Neville Island plant.
In 1995, Beazer and Aristech, in cooperation with the Department, removed from the Site and properly disposed of, surficial solidified benzoic lights and phthalic anhydride heavy ends. Following that waste removal, Beazer and Aristech performed a characterization of Site soil and groundwater seeps. Results of the investigation indicated that benzoic acid and naphthalene were present in soils at the Site in elevated concentrations. Other chemicals, including phthalic acid, benzene, phenol, pyrene, arsenic and other metals, as well as other VOCs and semi-VOCs, were present at detectable concentrations in the soil in various areas of the Site. In addition, at that time, two seeps located at the southwestern edge of the Site were sampled and found to have detectable levels of aluminum, suspended solids, benzene, iron, manganese, benzoic acid and phthalic acid.
Subject to the terms of the CO & A, Beazer and Aristech propose to implement a Closure Plan at the Site to resolve their potential liability under HSCA and CERCLA for any past, present or future response costs for releases or potential releases of hazardous substances. The Department has approved the Closure Plan. The Closure Plan includes a schedule for closure activities and calls for, among other things: (a) the excavation and proper disposal of Site waste; (b) the installation of erosion and sediment control facilities; (c) the relocation of a small amount of waste currently on an adjacent property; (d) construction of ditches to convey surface water run-off around the limits of the waste; (e) the placement of soil buttress fills and soil covers; (f) the revegetation of the cover system and other disturbed areas; and (g) the monitoring of seeps and water in stormwater ditches related to the Site.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO & A between the Department and Aristech and Beazer. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO & A for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO & A if the comments concerning the CO & A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO & A inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Aristech and Beazer shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Aristech and Beazer, in writing, that this CO & A is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO & A or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the CO & A are available for inspection at the Department's Southwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Terry Goodwald, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Further information may be obtained by contacting Goodwald at (412) 442-4000. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

[Continued from previous Web Page] LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
