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

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 receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice, and must file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with Department 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified below. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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 a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue two plan approvals to Southdown, Inc. (2001 Portland Park, Wampum, PA 16157), for their plant located in Wampum Borough, Lawrence County. The facility currently has a Title V permit No. 37-00013. The plan approvals will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. PA37013A is for the installation of slag feed equipment and the incorporation of slag as a raw material. This construction will result in no emission increases at the facility. The construction of material handling equipment at a Portland Cement production facility is subject to Federal NESHAP requirements defined in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLL.
Plan approval No. PA37013A is for the installation of four baghouses on the existing clinker transfer system. The installation of the baghouses on the transfer system will result in a particulate matter reduction of 5.40 tons/year.
The Plan Approvals and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is proposing to amend its State Implementation Plan (SIP) by withdrawing the existing facility specific SIP revision and to issue a new Plan Approval for Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. at Oak Street and Route 501, Schaefferstown, PA 17088.
The Department issued an operating permit (38-318-019C) to Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. on December 23, 1994 limiting the facility's Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions to less than 50 tons per year. Subsequently, U. S. EPA approved this Operating Permit on August 8, 1995, as a part of Pennsylvania's SIP. Plain'n Fancy Kitchens, Inc. submitted an application on May 10, 2000, to increase the facility's VOC emissions to 70 tons per year.
This proposal includes two actions: 1) Revocation of the existing facility specific SIP revision which limited the facility's VOC emissions to less than 50 tons per year of VOC. 2) Issuance of a new Plan Approval (38-02011). These actions do not adopt any new regulations.
The proposed Plan approval limits the facility's potential VOC emissions to 70 tons per year. Additional conditions require monitoring, testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for the VOC sources at the facility. 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.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held on December 19, 2000, at the Schaefferstown Fire Company, Oak Street, Schaefferstown, PA 17087 from 1 p.m. until such a time as all scheduled comments on the proposal are received. The public is invited to comment on the proposed action and SIP revision revocation. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing. Persons interested in submitting written comments should send their comments to Ranjan Roy, Air Quality Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200 on or before December 29, 2000.
An appointment may be scheduled to review Plan Approval 38-02011A, and other pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 705-4732 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Consolidation Coal Company's request for a variance from the requirements of Section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Dilworth Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Consolidation Coal Company requested a variance from Section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to use a Conoco Drill to drill long horizontal boreholes in advance of mining at the Dilworth Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of Section 224(b).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:
1. The proposed alternate drilling method requested by Consolidation Coal Company was used successfully in 1998 under a Bureau-approved plan for the F Mains Section of the Dilworth Mine. In 1998, this method was used to verify that there were no mine voids that would be cut into during future planned mining activities and to tap and dewater an adjacent mine pool.
2. The Conoco Drill is equipped with a means to close off the borehole should abandoned workings be encountered, thus preventing water and/or hazardous gasses from entering the Dilworth Mine.
3. The proposed minimum barrier pillar width of 50 feet is substantially larger than the pillar that would be provided under the provisions of Section 224(b).
4. The long horizontal borehole method is less labor intensive and produces less exposure to injuries by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and drill steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes due to drilling rib boreholes to a depth of 20 feet at an angle of 45-degrees every 8 feet. This will eliminate the need to handle all the equipment associated with the hand-held drill, including hydraulic hoses, drill steels, and the drill itself. Thus, the work force's exposure to types of injuries that could result from handling the hand-held drill is significantly reduced.
5. The long horizontal borehole method will provide verification along the entire length of the drilled hole that there are no mine voids present.
This approval is limited to a variance of the test hole drilling methods set forth in Section 224(b). All other terms and requirements of Section 224 shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under this approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Dilworth Mine's plan. Specific-site plans for future drilling using the long horizontal borehole method shall be submitted to the District Mine Inspector for review and approval.
