Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Masonite, Division of International Paper.
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for several air contamination sources at a facility owned and operated by Masonite, Division of International Paper in Wysox Township, Bradford County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The sources for which a RACT determination is being made are two combination wood/natural gas-fired boilers. The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for these boilers.
Source RACT Limitations * Union Iron Works 82.4 million BTU per hour boiler (Boiler no. 1) nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx, expressed as NO2) shall not exceed .2 pound per million BTU of heat input and 74.1 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed .04 pound per million BTU of heat input and 14.3 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. * E. Keeler MKB 161 million BTU per hour boiler
(Boiler no. 2)nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx, expressed as NOx) shall not exceed .25 pound per million BTU of heat input and 116.1 tons in any 12 consecutive month period and volatile organic compound emissions shall not exceed .05 pound per million BTU of heat input and 24.0 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
The facility incorporates additional nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compound sources for which RACT determinations will be made at a later date.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on March 6, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal.

Notice of Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into proposed consent order and agreements (COAs) with two parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
The Department has entered into a proposed consent order and agreement with C. H. Thompson Company, Inc. (Thompson), Binghamton, New York. Under the terms of the COA, Thompson will pay the Department $21,694 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site.
The Department has also entered into a proposed consent order and agreement with Coyne Textile Services, Syracuse, New York (Coyne). Under the terms of the COA, Coyne will pay the Department $67,560 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlements will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The proposed consent order and agreements that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment. The proposed consent order and agreements can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4592. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreements will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent order and agreement to the Department by March 26, 1997, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
