HAZARDOUS WASTE VARIANCE APPLICATION
Application(s) for variance in accordance with Solid Waste Management Act (35 P.S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003)
Central Office: Division of Hazardous Waste, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 14th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
Nulife Glass NY, Inc., 3213 Middle Road, Dunkirk, NY 14048: In accordance with the Solid Waste Management Act, and the regulations promulgated thereto, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to deny an application submitted by Nulife Glass NY (Nulife Glass) for a conditional variance from classification as solid waste for cathode ray tubes (CRTs) that are stored by Nulife Glass NY in three warehouses in Erie County and one in Mercer County. Nulife Glass operates a furnace in Dunkirk, NY. The proposed denial applies only to the warehouse facilities located in Pennsylvania.
This notice announces the opportunity for interested parties to review and comment on the variance application prior to a final decision by the Department. The application was submitted to the Department in accordance with Federal hazardous waste regulations at 40 CFR 260.30(a) (relating to variances from classification as a solid waste), incorporated by reference at 25 Pa. Code § 260a.1 (relating to incorporation by reference, purpose, scope and applicability). This variance provision is applicable to those materials that are accumulated speculatively without sufficient amounts being recycled when, among other criteria, the applicant can demonstrate that sufficient amounts of the material will be recycled or transferred for recycling in the following year.
The specific material for which Nulife Glass has requested a variance is, without limitation: used, intact cathode ray tubes; used, broken cathode ray tubes; intact and broken glass removed from used cathode ray tubes; and glass removed from used cathode ray tubes destined for a lead smelter after processing (collectively, ''cathode ray tube materials''). According to its variance application, in Nulife Glass's recycling process, the company receives whole cathode ray tubes (''CRTs''), processes the CRT into its component parts which are panel glass, funnel glass, and metal. The metal is recycled while the panel glass and the funnel glass undergo secondary processing a part of which involves furnace operations for leaded panel glass at its Dunkirk NY facility, and other miscellaneous product recycling and waste generation.
Speculative accumulation is described in 40 CFR 261.1(c)(8). Materials that are accumulated prior to recycling are not speculatively accumulated if a material has a feasible means of being recycled and the amount of materials that is recycled during the calendar year equals at least 75 percent of the materials by weight or volume accumulated since the beginning of the period. Currently, there are approximately 17 million pounds of CRT materials stored in Pennsylvania warehouses, largely consisting of CRT funnel glass. Storage at these facilities began in May, 2014.
The conditions for meeting the variance may be found under 40 CFR 260.31(a). Without an approved variance for the CRT materials currently being stored in warehouses in Erie and Mercer counties, the CRT materials stored by Nulife Glass would be regulated as hazardous waste.
Standards and criteria for variances from classification as a solid waste
After careful evaluation, the Department has tentatively determined that Nulife Glass does not meet the requirements for approval of a variance from classification as a solid waste.
The CRT materials stored in warehouses in Erie and Mercer counties have been speculatively accumulated without a feasible means of recycling the material or the appropriate amounts being recycled within the relevant time period(s). If the variance is denied, the CRT materials will be considered hazardous waste.
Some of the issues not satisfactorily addressed by Nulife Glass in its variance application include: (1) The manner in which the material is expected to be recycled, when the material is expected to be recycled, and whether this expected disposition or recycling is likely to occur (for example, because of past practice, market factors, the nature of the material, or contractual arrangements for recycling); (2) The reason(s) that the applicant has accumulated the material for one or more years without recycling 75 percent of the weight or volume accumulated at the beginning of the year; and (3) The quantity of material expected to be generated and accumulated before the material is recycled. Nulife Glass has also failed to provide adequate assurances that it has the financial ability to properly dispose of the speculatively accumulated CRT glass in the event that Nulife Glass is required to do so.
Persons wishing to comment on Nulife Glass' variance request and the Department's proposed decision to deny the request are invited to submit comments by (Month, Day, 2016—30-days), to the Department at the following address. For more detailed information on the specific aspects of Nulife Glass' variance request, to review a copy of the request or to submit comments, contact M. Thomas Mellott; Department of Environmental Protection; Division of Hazardous Waste Management; P.O. Box 8471; Harrisburg, PA 17105; (717) 787-6239; mtmellott@pa.gov. Comments received within the comment period will be considered by the Department in making the final decision regarding Nulife Glass' request. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Department as specified previously. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

08-00001B: Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC (PO Box 2511, Houston, TX 77252-2511) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) for plan approval to construct a natural gas-fired combustion turbine which will be coupled to a centrifugal compressor, as part of the Susquehanna West Project, at the Compressor Station 319 facility located in Wyalusing Township, Bradford County. The proposed construction also includes the ancillary equipment for operation of the new natural gas compression process, such as valves, flanges, connectors, etc.
The proposed combustion turbine is a Solar® Titan 130-20502S equipped with SoLoNOxTM technology, a lean premix type of combustion technology, also known as Dry Low NOx Combustion technology. The SoLoNOx technology is described to be capable of achieving NOx emission of 9 ppmvd at 15% O2. TGP also proposes to equip the exhaust of the source with an add-on device that employs oxidation catalyst technology to control volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including formaldehyde and carbon monoxide (CO) in the turbine's exhaust. The source is subject to the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The proposed combustion turbine is also subject to the Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK. The proposed construction also triggers the Standards of Performance for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Facilities for which Construction, Modification, or Reconstruction Commenced after September 18, 2015 as codified in 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa. The collection of fugitive emissions components is subject to the leak detection and repair requirements pursuant to 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOa and BAT. The potential to emit of the proposed combustion turbine is 37.2 tons per year (tpy) for NOx (expressed as NO2), 51.9 tpy for CO, 9.2 tpy for SOx (expressed as SO2), 4.4 tpy for PM10 and PM2.5, 3.1 for VOCs, 2.0 for HAPs, and 1.2 for formaldehyde.
PA DEP's review of the information submitted by the facility indicates that the proposed construction will comply with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements, including the BAT requirements. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements. The plan approval includes emission restrictions for NOx, CO, VOCs, SOx, PM10, PM2.5, and formaldehyde, as follows: 9—15 ppm for NOx; 2 ppm for CO; 3 ppm for VOCs (as propane); 0.028 lb/MMBtu for SOx; 0.0066 lb/MMBtu for PM10 and PM2.5; and 0.0017 lb/MMBtu for formaldehyde. Stack testing on the proposed turbine for these pollutants is required no later than 180 days from the date of startup. The facility is required to continuously monitor certain turbine parameters that indicate whether or not the unit is operating continuously in low-NOx mode during all periods of operation except those in which the ambient temperature is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and startup and shutdown operations. Additionally, the inlet and outlet oxidation catalyst temperatures and differential pressure across the oxidation catalyst are required to be continuously monitored. The plan approval also includes recordkeeping and reporting conditions. The facility will be also required to monitor on-site equipment for leaks on a monthly basis and perform leak detection and repair program quarterly.
Based on the findings presented above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions including the specifications in the application, the plan approval will be incorporated into a State-Only operating permit which will be required to be filed no later than 120 days upon request by the Department. All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's North Central Regional office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-0550.

Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for Coverage under General NPDES Permits. The approval for coverage under these General NPDES Permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions in each General Permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions in the respective permit. The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 (relating to Administrative Agency Law). The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania AT&T 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. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should contact a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Hoff VC HSCA Site,
New Hanover Township, Montgomery CountyPublic Notice of proposed Consent Order
and AgreementThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), 35 P.S. § 6020.1113, has entered into a Consent Decree with Ethan Good, the Green Lane Trust, Good Oil Company and Shady Lane Estates, Ltd. (Good Parties). The Consent Decree will resolve the Department's response cost recovery claims related to its remediation of hazardous substances which have impacted the Hoff VC HSCA Site (Site). The Site includes residential and commercial properties located in the area of Hoffmansville Road, and Layfield Road in New Hanover Township, Montgomery County, PA.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Swann Oil Company (Swann Oil) used the property located at 334 Layfield Road in New Hanover Township, Montgomery County for the retail distribution of heating oil (Property). The Property is located in the Site. While operating the Property, Swann Oil used chlorinated solvents to clean its trucks. In 1991, Shady Lane Estates, Ltd., a business owned and managed by Ethan Good, purchased the Property. Good Oil Co., another company owned and operated by Mr. Good, leased the Property from Shady Lane Estates, Ltd. and operated an onsite retail fuel delivery business until sometime in 1998. In 2010, Shady Lane Estates, Ltd. transferred the Property to the Green Lane Trust, which is a bona fide family trust administered by Mr. Good.
In 2012, the Department investigated the Property as well as nearby residential and commercial wells. Samples of the wells on and in the vicinity of the Property had levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in amounts which exceeded the 2 Maximum Contaminant Levels for safe drinking water established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 300f et seq. The Department's samples of surface water, including an unnamed tributary to Swamp Creek, which traverses the Property, also had VOC contamination. The Department has determined that the Property is a source of hazardous substance contamination impacting the Site.
The past and present conditions on the Property and the Site constitute a ''release'' of hazardous substances as defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.103. The prior historic releases during the Swann Oil Co.'s ownership and the potential ongoing release and threatened release of hazardous substances during the Good Parties' respective ownership and operation of the Property, caused the Department to incur ''response costs'' as this term is defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.103.
The Department's response actions included the construction of a public waterline to connect impacted residents to a potable water supply as well as other investigative and remedial measures to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances in the Site area. The Department incurred Two Million, Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand, and Nineteen Dollars and Nine Cents ($2,275,019.09) in response costs for the installation of the public waterline. The Department will incur additional response costs to remove and remediate hazardous substances which remain on Property.
To resolve the Department's claim for response costs, the Good Parties agreed to the Court's entry of a judgment against them in the amount of Two Million, Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand, and Nineteen Dollars and Nine Cents ($2,275,019.09). The Good Parties agreed to secure this debt by granting the Department a first mortgage lien on the Property and they agreed to obtain additional property and general liability insurance coverage for the Property. The Department and the Good Parties memorialized their agreement in the form of a Consent Decree including standard terms and conditions common to all Department Consent Orders and Agreements.
This notice is provided under Section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.1113, which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments.'' The Consent Decree, which contains the specific terms of the agreement is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located at 2 East Main Street in Norristown, PA 19401, by contacting either Colin Wade (484) 250-5722 or Gina M. Thomas, Esquire at (484) 250-5930. Mr. Wade and Ms. Thomas may also be contacted electronically at cowade@pa.gov and githomas@pa.gov, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Mr. Wade at the above address.
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—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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 under 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.

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 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 under 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 Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
