    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.

    Notice of Intent to Issue

    Plan Approval No. 17-399-020

       Eagle Environmental II, LP (308 Orchard Avenue, Altoona, PA 16602-4066), has submitted an Air Quality plan approval application to the Department of Environmental Protection's Air Quality Program for approval to construct a residual waste landfill, a mine spoil/coal crushing, screening and conveying operation and two leachate storage tanks in Chest Township, Clearfield County. The information provided by the applicant and the Air Quality Program's own analysis indicates that this entire operation may potentially result in the emission of 54.2 tons per 12 consecutive month period of particulate matter, 2.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period of nonmethane organic compounds and 1.7 tons per 12 consecutive month period of hazardous air pollutants. A preliminary review of the information submitted by Eagle Environmental II, LP indicates that the proposed construction will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based on this finding, the Air Quality Program intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to construct the proposed residual waste landfill, the mine spoil/coal crushing, screening and conveying operation and the two leachate storage tanks provided that all other affected programs within the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) are also prepared to issue the various other Department permits and approvals required for the respective project.

       To ensure compliance with all applicable air quality standards, the Air Quality Program proposes to place the following conditions in the respective plan approval:

       1.  The residual waste landfill and mine spoil/coal crushing, screening and conveying operation are to be constructed in accordance with the plans submitted with the application (as approved herein).

       2.  This plan approval is issued for the construction of the following:

       a.  A residual waste landfill consisting of a single residual waste disposal area (designated as Area 2) and a network of access and haul roads.

       b.  A mine spoil/coal crushing, screening and conveying operation consisting of the following:

       i.  A Stedman Machine Company model no. 3042 jaw crusher and grizzly feeder,

       ii.  One fixed conveyor,

       iii.  Two radial stacking conveyors,

       iv.  A triple deck screen.

       c.  Two leachate storage tanks.

       3.  Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, all roads originating at the property boundaries and ending at the disposal area shall be paved and shall be cleaned at least once daily utilizing a water truck equipped with a pressurized spray bar. All roads located within the disposal area shall be graveled and a dust suppressant shall be used so as to minimize the emission of fugitive particulate matter.

       4.  Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the landfill operator shall utilize operating practices during the excavation, dumping and spreading of soils, coal, mine spoil, residual wastes and cover materials which are designed to minimize the emission of fugitive particulate matter.

       5.  Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the landfill operator shall not deposit or dispose of any residual wastes at this site which have the potential to generate fugitive particulate matter unless the wastes have first been rendered essentially dust-free at the site of waste generation by treatment with water or other dust suppressants. Under no circumstances shall the landfill operator deposit or dispose of any flyash or like materials at this site which have not been adequately treated with water, and the like at the point of origin.

       6.  Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the landfill gas generated from the residual waste disposal area identified in condition 2a herein shall be collected by a series of vertical gas collection wells as described in the application and supplemental materials submitted for plan approval. The wells shall be capped and tied into blowers that shall vent the landfill gas to an enclosed ground type flare. The landfill gas collection and flaring system shall be designed so as to accommodate the maximum gas generation rate of the landfill.

       7.  Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the flare identified in condition 6 herein shall meet the following criteria:

       a.  The flare shall be an LFG Specialties, Inc. Flame-Trol II enclosed ground type flare. The flare shall be a 4,000 SCFM model, or larger, and shall maintain a minimum temperature of at least 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit for a residence time of at least 0.83 second.

       b.  The flare shall be equipped with two blowers that shall be sized to accommodate the maximum gas generation rate.

       c.  The flare shall be equipped with a continuous pilot ignition source using an auxiliary fuel, either propane or natural gas.

       d.  The flare shall be operated with a flame present at all times. The flare shall be equipped with an automatic shutoff mechanism designed to immediately stop the flow of gases when a flameout occurs. During restart or startup there shall be sufficient flow of auxiliary fuel to the burner such that unburned landfill gases are not emitted to the atmosphere.

       e.  The flare flue gas temperature shall be continuously measured and recorded at any time the flare is being used to combust landfill gas. These records shall be maintained on site for at least 5 years.

       f.  The flare shall be designed for and operated with no visible emissions except for periods not to exceed 5 minutes during any 2 consecutive hours and the opacity during these periods shall never exceed 10%.

       Project Description/Location:  This activity involves the Schuylkill River Maintenance Dredging project. Dredging would take place within Fairmount Park, at three locations between Strawberry Bridge downstream to Fairmount Dam, in the City of Philadelphia. The first location is a shallow shoal area on the downstream side of Peter's Island, which is a section of a scull boat racecourse. The second site is the raw water intake for the City of Philadelphia, located on the west shore of the Schuylkill River. The third site is around and under small, floating wooden docks in front of Boathouse Row. A total of approximately 32,000 cubic yards of material will be removed by a small hydraulic cutter-head dredge. The material will be transported through metal piping to Fairmount Dam, where it will be pumped into barges on the downstream side of the dam. The barges will transport the sediment downstream to the Fort Mifflin confined disposal facility, near the mouth of the Schuylkill River, for unloading.

    Foster Township, Schuylkill County

       The Department has completed its review of the Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan for Foster Township (Plan). The Department has found that the Plan is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.

       The chosen alternative consists of: construction of a sewerage collection system and a sewerage conveyance system to serve the Buck Run, Mount Pleasant, and Glendower Planning Areas; and the implementation of a Sewage Management Program for the Glen Carbon and Airport Planning Areas. The sewer system will connect with Foster Township's existing pump station/force main located on Route 901. Foster Township's Sewer System will connect with the Schuylkill County Municipal Authority's (SCMA) Sewer System. The wastewater will be treated at the SCMA's Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the Borough of Gordon.

       The Department's review of the Plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposals. In accordance with the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold Foster Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative.

These sections include the areas that are tributary to: the SCMA's interceptor/pump stations/force mains and Foster Township's pump station/force main that conveys/will convey wastewater from the Commonwealth Environmental Systems Landfill and Foster Township to SCMA's treatment plant.

       The Plan was written to study what sewer system/WWTP upgrades need to be done to meet the needs of the areas served by the SCMA's interceptor and treatment plant.

       The Plan includes the following:

       *  Upgrades to the sewer system connecting the SCMA's Pumping Station A, located at Rt. 901 and the Schuylkill Highridge Business Park (SHBP), with the SCMA's WWTP, and

       *  Expansion of the SCMA's WWTP

       The SHBP is located in Butler Township, Cass Township and Foster Township. No changes will be made to the SCMA's interceptor, located within the Borough of Gordon.

       The Department's review of the Plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposals.

    SPECIAL NOTICES

    Certified Emission Reduction Credits in Pennsylvania's ERC Registry

       Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC registry applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered, and certified ERCs in the ERC registry are currently available for use as follows:

       (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements;

       (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities;

       (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.

       The certified ERCs shown as follows, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

       For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.
