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 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 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)(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 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office 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 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. 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.

55-00001A: Sunbury Generation, LLC (1088 Springhurst Drive, Green Bay, WI 54304-5495) for installation of air cleaning devices (low NOx retrofits consisting of low NOx burners, over-fire air and boundary air) on four 38 megawatt, anthracite coal, arch fired utility boilers (Units 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B) at their facility in Shamokin Dam Borough, Snyder County.
Sunbury Generation is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (55-00001) has been issued.
The information provided by the applicant, as well as the Department's own analysis, indicates that the installation of the subject retrofits will decrease the NOx emissions from each boiler to a level as low as 0.5 pound per million Btu of heat input. The Department has determined that the respective low NOx retrofits do not qualify as Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) and does not therefore propose any reduction in the RACT emission limitations previously established for the respective boilers. The applicable RACT limitations are 1.10 pounds of NOx per million Btu of heat input for Units 1A and 1B and 1.16 pounds of NOx per million Btu of heat input for Units 2A and 2B.
A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed installation will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue plan approval.
In order to ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following conditions in the respective plan approval:
* All conditions contained in Title V Operating Permit 55-00001, including those conditions specifying NOx emission limitations, remain unchanged and in effect unless specifically modified or superseded by a condition contained herein.

The Department intends to place conditions in the operating permit to be issued which are intended to ensure continued compliance with all applicable requirements. The following is a summary of these conditions:
1. This incinerator shall not be used to incinerate hospital waste, infectious waste or any type of waste other than human remains and associated containers for holding the remains.
2. The particulate matter emissions shall not exceed .08 grain per dry standard cubic foot corrected to 7% oxygen and the visible air contaminant emissions shall not equal or exceed 10% opacity for a period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any 1 hour or equal or exceed 30% opacity at any time.
3. A secondary combustion chamber temperature of at least 1,800°F shall be maintained at any time cremation is occurring.
