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.

17-305-050B: Penfield Collieries, LLC (301 Market Street, Kittanning, PA 16201) for modification of a coal preparation plant in Huston Township, Clearfield County.
The reactivation of the respective coal preparation plant was authorized by Plan Approval 17-305-050, issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) on June 29, 2004. Plan Approval 17-305-050A was subsequently issued by the Department on November 30, 2004, for the construction of coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations at this site. The fugitive particulate matter emissions from the coal preparation plant are prevented or controlled by the use of various devices such as a fabric collector, a wet centrifugal collector, a water truck and enclosures and covers as well as by the implementation of various operating practices such as the tarping of trucks, limiting the speed of trucks, minimizing the freefall distance of coal from the end of conveyors and the flood loading of coal into railcars.
The proposed modification is an increase in the maximum amount of clean coal produced by the plant from 1 million tons per year to 2 million tons per year. This is expected to increase the facility's emission of particulate matter by as much as 37.43 tons per year, of which up to 11.26 tons per year may be PM10.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Penfield Collieries, LLC indicates that the modified coal preparation plant will meet all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2, the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart Y of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.250--60.254. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the respective coal preparation plant.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. No more than 2.6 million tons of raw coal shall be processed, nor more than 2 million tons of product coal produced, in any 12-consecutive month period.
2. All conditions of Plan Approvals 17-305-050 and 17-305-050A remain in effect unless superseded or modified by a condition contained herein.

Monessen Coke Works in Monessen, Westmoreland County. This plan approval is a Title V Facility. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has modified the Plan Approval to revise monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements not previously established in the original Plan Approval 65-302-071. The modified Plan Approval conditions are:
1. This Plan Approval Modification reflects revised monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements not previously established in the original Plan Approval 65-302-071 issued for the construction of two coke oven gas/natural gas-fired boilers at the Koppers, Inc. Monessen Coke Works in Monessen (Koppers), Westmoreland County. (25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12(a)(5)).
2. These boilers are subject to the New Source Performance Standards for industrial-commercial-institutional steam generating units promulgated in 40 CFR 60.40b, Subpart Db. In the event that the Department receives notice that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that this provision is not applicable to these boilers, Koppers may apply for revision of this Plan Approval to reflect this determination. In such event, the Department will then modify this Plan Approval to remove or revise requirements that are based upon 40 CFR 60.40b, Subpart Db.
3. A Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) in the common exhaust stack venting the combined emissions from both boilers shall be installed, maintained, operated and approved in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual and in accordance with the requirements of this Modified Plan approval, the applicable requirements of 25 Pa. Code and 40 CFR 60.40. Koppers shall submit all necessary materials for Department Phase 1 approval within 30 days of the effective date of this Plan Approval and shall install and begin operation of the CEMS within 180 days of receiving Department approval. Koppers shall complete the requirements for Phase III approval of the CEMS within 270 days of receiving Department Phase I approval. (40 CFR 60, 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.12b(a), 127.12b(b) and 139.52(1)).
4. Continuous monitoring is required to be performed for the following (40 CFR 60, 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.12(a) and 127.12(b)).
A. SOx (as SO2)
B. NOx (as NO2)
C. Exhaust gas flow rate. If Koppers can demonstrate to the Department that the flow rate monitor is providing inaccurate results, Koppers may utilize f factors to calculate the exhaust flow rate and shall submit (within 30 days of Koppers' demonstration) an engineering study explaining the causes for the flow rate monitor's inaccuracies and necessary corrective action. (40 CFR 60, 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(a) and (b).)
5. The Permittee shall calculate, measure and record the daily volume of Coke Oven Gas (COG) produced and burned using the following procedure (25 Pa. Code §§ 127.12(a) and 127.12(b)).
A. COG Generated
B. COG Burned
The Permittee shall continuously measure and record the daily volume of COG burned in the boilers.
C. Annual Flow Tests:
The Permittee shall conduct 24 hour flow tests on an annual basis to confirm the default gas flow value used in A. (based on historical test data from 1998-2002) for the volume of COG currently generated/ton of coal charged (Vf). If the results of this comparison indicate greater than a 10% deviation (plus or minus) from the current annual COG generation rate, the Permittee must notify the Department in writing within 2 weeks including the test results. The Department will determine at that time whether adjustments are necessary to the current annual COG generation rate and reported emission rates. The Permittee must submit a flow testing protocol to the Department within 90 days of Plan Approval issuance for review and approval. The protocol must provide the details and conditions under which these flows will be tested and confirmed.
6. Plan Approval No. 65-305-048, condition 21 is hereby amended as follows:
The applicable limit on sulfur compounds expressed as equivalent H2S contained in the COG burned anywhere at the entire facility is 45 gr H2S/100 DSCF of COG (25 Pa. Code § 127.25.)
A. Prior to installation and use of the CEMS, compliance with the 45 gr H2S/100 DSCF COG limit shall be established based on the procedure currently in practice of COG sampling and lab analysis using the Tutweiler method. Koppers shall take three samples consecutively. If the first sample analyzed meets the 45 gr H2S/100 dscf standard, then Koppers should report that value. If not, Koppers may analyze the second sample. If this sample meets the 45 gr H2S/100 dscf standard, then Koppers should report that value. If not, Koppers may analyze the third sample. If this sample meets the 45 gr H2S/100 dscf standard, then Koppers should report that value. If none of the samples meets the 45 gr H2S/100 dscf standard, Koppers should report a violation. Analyses of the COG for H2S shall be by the Tutweiler method (UOP Method 9-59, as detailed in 40 CFR 60.648).
B. Upon installation/operation of the CEMS, compliance with the 45 gr H2S/100 DSCF COG limit shall be established in accordance with the following:
The hourly average of SOx (as SO2) from the SOx CEMS shall be divided by the actual volume of COG burned in the boilers in that same hour as indicated by the COG gas flow meters at the boilers and expressed as equivalent gr H2S/100 DSCF COG. Compliance shall be determined on a 24-hour basis in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b))
C. The requirement to achieve and demonstrate 90% SO2 control efficiency applies to the new boilers only. Prior to installation and use of the CEMS compliance with the 90% SO2 control efficiency limit shall be based on the calculation described in the Addendum using the samples set forth in 8.A (Tutweiler procedure) daily sulfur in fuel (COG) analyses and the COG orifice flow monitor to estimate daily actual emissions (''BA'' in Addendum equation) of SOx (as SO2) from the boilers.
D. Compliance with the 90% SO2 control efficiency limit shall be demonstrated on a 30-day rolling average basis in accordance with the calculation previously supplied to Koppers and as described in the Addendum attached to these Plan Approval conditions. (40 CFR 60.45b)
7. The following emission limits shall apply:
A. 63 lbs/hr SOx (as SO2) and 275 tons SOx/yr from the boilers. (25 Pa. Code § 123.23.)
B. The data from the SOx CEMS and appropriate conversion factors shall be used for demonstrating compliance with the lbs./hr. limit and be determined on a 24- hour block basis in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b).)
C. Compliance with the ton/year limit shall be determined on a 12-month rolling average basis (the average of the valid hourly data from the previous 12 months). (25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b)).
D. The NOx (as NO2) emissions from the boilers when COG is being burned in the boilers shall not exceed the rate determined in accordance with the procedure described in 40 CFR 60.44b(f). (The Department acknowledges that 40 CFR 60.44b(f) is not an applicable requirement.) In the interim, an emission limit of 0.5 lb/mmBtu shall apply. (40 CFR 60.44(b))
i. Within 210 days of the final Phase III approval of the CEMS units, the Permittee shall submit emissions data in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual in a source-specific NOx emissions limit petition to the Department in accordance with the procedure described in 40 CFR 60.44b(f). Upon approval the facility-specific limit for NOx (lb/mm Btu) will be considered to be incorporated by reference into this Plan Approval and become an ongoing limitation during the use of COG in the boilers.
ii. The data from the NOx CEMS and appropriate conversion factors shall be used for demonstrating compliance. Compliance with the lbs/mm Btu limit shall be determined on a 30-day rolling average basis in accordance with the Department's Continuous Source Monitoring Manual.
E. The NOx (as NO2) emissions from the boilers when Natural Gas is being burned in the boilers shall not exceed 0.1 lb NOx per mmBtus. (40 CFR 60.44b)
i. The Permittee shall demonstrate compliance with this limit within 180 days of issuance of this Plan Approval using the appropriate reference method and annually thereafter. Once the Phase III approval of the NOx CEMS is issued, the data from the NOx CEMS and appropriate conversion factors shall be used for demonstrating compliance. The emission rate shall be determined by using the CEMS data, natural gas fuel flow monitors for the boilers and a heating value of natural gas of 1,050 Btus per standard cubic foot. During the test, compliance may be established by firing each boiler individually or both boilers simultaneously while burning gas only at a minimum of 80% load. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b))
F. The NOx (as NO2) hourly emissions from the boilers when COG and natural gas are being burned in the boilers shall not exceed the rate determined in accordance with 40 CFR 60.44 b(f).
i. In the event COG and Natural Gas are burned concurrently, Koppers shall calculate the COG: natural gas ratio being used in the boilers on a 30-day rolling average basis.
ii. The data from the NOx CEMS and appropriate conversion factors shall be used for demonstrating compliance. The emission rate shall be determined by using the CEMS data, COG and natural gas fuel flow data for the boilers and a heating value of COG and natural gas of 502 and 1050 Btus/SCF respectively. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b), 40 CFR 60.44b(b)).
iii. Depending upon the coal supply used, the heating value of COG may change. If Koppers reasonably believes that the heating value of COG is significantly different than SO2 Btu/SCF, Koppers shall submit data in support of a more appropriate heating value and shall seek an amendment of this Plan Approval.
G. The opacity of the visible emissions from the boilers shall not exceed the limitations set forth in 40 CFR 60.43b and shall not exceed 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. Koppers shall perform visual observations for opacity using Method 9. If, within 180 days of Plan Approval issuance, Koppers fails to obtain written approval from EPA to continue to use visual observations, Koppers shall install and begin operation of a CEMS to monitor opacity within 270 days of Plan Approval issuance.
H. Particulate matter emissions from the boilers shall not exceed the limitation set forth in 40 CFR 60.43b.
8. In accordance with 40 CFR 60.4, copies of all requests, reports, submittals and other communications shall be forwarded to both the EPA and the Department at the addresses that follow unless otherwise noted:

Pretest protocols for all stack tests must be submitted to the Department in writing at least 60 days in advance of the test and Koppers shall notify the Department at least 2 weeks prior to performance of any stack tests so that an observer may be present. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b)
10. Two copies of the stack test results shall be submitted to the Department within 60 days of completion of the tests. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b)
11. In addition to reporting requirements, records of all measurements shall be retained for at least 2 years and made available to the Department upon request. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b)
Addendum to Koppers, Inc.; Plan Approval Minor Modification
With reference to Condition 5, this addendum is provided as a basis for calculating the percent control efficiency for SOx (as SO2 ) in accordance with the New Source Performance Standard.
The potential daily emission rate from the boilers shall be calculated based on the daily coal charge rate to the facility and the average sulfur content of the coal for that day multiplied by the following fraction--the daily volume of coke oven gas burned in the boilers divided by the daily volume of coke oven gas burned throughout the entire facility. The actual daily emission rate from the boilers shall be calculated based on output from the SOx (as SO2) continuous emission monitoring system and a daily control efficiency shall then be calculated as the daily emission rate from the boilers divided by the potential daily emission rate from the boilers. Compliance shall be demonstrated on a 30-day rolling average basis.
This method for determining compliance with 40 CFR 60 Subpart Db shall not be considered precedential to other affected facilities and has been specifically developed for the Koppers Monessen Coke Works only.
CE = Control Efficiency BA = Combined Boiler(s) Actual Emission Rate in lbs/day as determined by the Continuous Emission Monitoring System Bp = Combined Boiler(s) Potential Emission Rate in lbs SO2/day C = Coal charge rate to the entire facility in lbs coal/day S = Sulfur in coal as a decimal MW SO2 = Molecular weight of SO2 = 64 MWS = Molecular weight of sulfur = 32 VB = Daily volume of coke oven gas burned in the boilers (units in DSCFD) VF = Daily volume of coke oven gas burned throughout the entire facility (units in DSCFD) Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481; George Monasky, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
