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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Southcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, Ronald Davis, New Source Review Chief, (717) 705-4702.
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 facility is in Peach Bottom Township, York County, off Atom Road along Pikes Peak Road, approximately 1 mile northeast of the Borough of Delta.
The proposed facility will have an overall nominal maximum generation capacity of 1,100 megawatts of electricity for sale. The primary fuel will be natural gas. Liquid distillate fuel (low sulfur light petroleum product or LSPP) will be used on a limited basis. The major components of the facility will include:
(a) Six nominal 100-megawatt Siemens Westinghouse V84.2 combustion turbines.
(b) Six selective catalytic reduction systems for NOx control.
(c) Six unfired heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs).
(d) Two nominal 150 MW steam turbines for a three-on-one configuration.
(e) Two 4 million gallon fuel oil tanks.
(f) Two mechanical draft cooling towers.
(g) Each turbine has a 135 ft. simple cycle stack and a 188 ft. combined cycle stack.
(h) Two 12,000-gallon (49,000 lb.) anhydrous ammonia tanks.
A modeling analysis was conducted for CO, NOx, SO2 and PM10. The modeling used five years of meterological data collected at the Peach Bottom nuclear facility and the New Castle County Airport in Wilmington, DE and the Environmental Protection Agency's approved AERMOD and CALPUFF models. The modeling indicated that none of the emissions from the turbines will have a significant impact on the surrounding area. Additional analyses were performed to assess the proposed facility's impact on soils, vegetation, and visibility in the area and the closest Class I area. The predicted impacts from all modeled pollutants fell within the allowable concentration levels as long as fuel oil firing is limited. A plan approval condition has been included to limit fuel oil firing to prevent visibility impacts at Class I areas.
Conectiv's emissions, along with additional background sources will consume the following portion of the available Prevention of Significant Deterioration air quality increments:
Pollutant Avg. Time Max. Modeled Impact

The respective facility incorporates two heated paint dip tanks, a paint spray operation, various welding operations, 19 natural gas-fired heaters, furnaces, and the like, a solvent parts washer and a propane-fired emergency generator. The air contaminant emissions from this facility are not expected to exceed 32.05 tons of VOCs, 13.44 tons of hazardous air pollutants (of which no single hazardous air pollutant will total 10 or more tons per year), 4.51 tons of NOx, 3.18 tons of CO, 4.74 tons of particulate matter, all of which may be PM10 and .03 ton of SOx per year.
The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant but, due to the theoretical potential to emit both VOCs and hazardous air pollutants at levels which would qualify the facility as such, Milton Steel, Inc. has elected to restrict their ability to emit VOCs and hazardous air pollutants such that they will be a ''synthetic minor'' facility with respect to the Title V permitting requirements.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued conditions requiring compliance will all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants as well as conditions previously established in Operating Permit 49-318-034. These previously-established conditions include conditions requiring both dip tanks to be operated indoors, to be equipped with lids that remain closed except when a tank is in actual use or during tank cleaning, to clean the coating circulation systems associated with the dip tanks by flushing solvent through the entire system and reclaiming as much of the solvent in liquid form as is practicable and to clean the dip tanks by draining as much coating mixture from the tanks as is practicable then allowing the remaining coating mixture to dry and physically removing the dried residue, a condition limiting the VOC content of the coating used in the ''blue tank'' to 3.3 pounds of VOCs per gallon of coating mixture averaged over each calendar month period taking into account all materials added to the tank during each respective month, a condition limiting the VOC content of the coating used in the ''orange tank'' to 3.1 pounds of VOC per gallon of coating mixture averaged over each calendar month taking into account all materials added to the tank during each respective month, a condition limiting the combined VOC emissions from the dip tanks to 30 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the combined hazardous air pollutant emissions to 12 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, a condition prohibiting the use of coatings, coating additives and cleaning solvents which contain methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, perchloroethylene or formaldehyde and a condition requiring all volatile organic compound-containing materials to be stored in closed containers when not in actual use.
The Department additionally proposes to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued a condition limiting the total combined facility-wide emission of VOCs to less than 50 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and a condition limiting the total combined facility-wide emission of any single hazardous air pollutant to less than 10 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the total combined facility-wide emission of all hazardous air pollutants combined to less than 25 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
The Department also intends to incorporate into the operating permit to be issued appropriate recordkeeping and reporting requirements intended to help monitor compliance with the permit conditions described above as well as with applicable regulatory requirements.

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483.

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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
