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 below. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified below, 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, please 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.

The fabric coating and curing operation consists of a roll coater and associated dryer, a curing oven and ancillary equipment (mixers, churns, paint mill, etc.) which are used to apply rubber compounds to various fabric substrates. The resultant volatile organic compound emissions are controlled by a thermal oxidizer which has been demonstrated, via stack testing, to have a volatile organic compound destruction efficiency in excess of the 95% required by Plan Approval 47-318-009. The volatile organic compound emission rate determined to have existed during the respective stack testing was less than .5 pounds per hour.
The Department of Environmental Protection has determined that the respective fabric coating and curing operation was constructed, and is operating, in conformance with all conditions contained in Plan Approval 47-318-009 as well as in compliance with all applicable requirements contained in Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Environmental Protection. The Department of Environmental Protection consequently intends to issue an operating permit for the fabric coating and curing operation.
The Department intends to place conditions in the operating permit to be issued which are intended to assure continued compliance with all applicable requirements as well as require appropriate monitoring, testing, record keeping and reporting. The following is a summary of these conditions:
1. The thermal oxidizer shall maintain a minimum oxidizer chamber outlet temperature of 1400° F at all times.
2. The thermal oxidizer shall be equipped with an oxidizer chamber outlet temperature monitoring and recording system.
3. 100% of the volatile organic compounds emitted from the fabric coating and curing operation shall be captured and ducted to the thermal oxidizer and at least 95% of the volatile organic compounds ducted to the thermal oxidizer shall be destroyed therein.
4. The only cleaning solvent that shall be used is d-limonene except that up to 52 gallons of ethyl alcohol may be used per year. The thermal oxidizer shall be operational whenever cleaning solvent is in use.
5. The fabric coating and curing operation shall be retested by no later than January 31, 2005.
6. Records shall be maintained of all surface coating material and cleanup solvents used in the fabric coating and curing operation and shall be submitted to the Department on a calendar quarter basis.

Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a plan approval to American Refining Group (77 North Kendall Avenue, Bradford, PA 16701) for their plant in the city of Bradford, McKean County. The facility currently has a Title V Operating Permit No. 42-00004, which was issued November 13, 2000. This plan approval 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.
The application is for an Isomer Unit that will take Light Straight Run (LSR) feed from the existing naphtha fractionator unit and treat it with platformer gases to boost the octane value of the LSR. The design maximum processing rate for the LSR is 1000 barrel per day. This process will not cause an increase in production nor will it cause an increase in emissions for any other process. The only emission point in this unit will be a natural draft gas fired heater. The draft is adjusted manually. There will be a number of potential fugitive emission points due to potential equipment leaks. There are two relief valves on the recycle gas system for protection of equipment. All relief valves will be connected to flare header such that any release that occurs at the startup, shut down, or upset, will be passed through the refinery flare. The fuel usage and emissions for natural gas and refinery gas are based on continuous operation of 8,760 hours per year. This source is subject to Federal NSPS Regulations, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J Standards of Performance for Petroleum Refineries. The applicable refinery gas is low sulfur fuel (<162 ppm). Subpart J requires the facility to comply with the H2S emission limit of 0.10 gr/dscf for the refinery fuel gas. The facility has proposed using an existing H2S CEMS monitoring the low sulfur stream from the stabilizer unit and achieve compliance with the requirements of Monitoring of Emissions and Operations (Subpart J Section 60.105). The refinery already implements LDAR for the equipment leaks. The new isomerization unit will be covered by the same program. There are no process vents associated with this unit. Existing storage vessels will be utilized for feed and product storage.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a plan approval to Ellwood Quality Steels Company (700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101) for their plant in the City of New Castle, Lawrence County. The facility currently has a Title V Operating Permit issued December 27, 1999. This plan approval 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.
This plan approval application is for modification of Furnace No. 17. The modification will remove the existing 1942 vintage burners and controls and replace them with new burners and controls, which will utilize low NOx technology. The overall NOx emissions are expected to drop from 12.3 tpy to 4.6 tpy.

Certification Request initiated by Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424. Discharge of dredged material from the East Avenue Launch Ramp into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility, in Erie City, Erie County, ACOE Pittsburgh District, Erie North, PA. Quadrangle N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches).
Project description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under Section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) discharge of dredged material from the East Avenue Launch Ramp into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 301--307 of Federal Clean Water Act.
This request was necessitated by conditions imposed by the Department's Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits E25-404A and E25-581 issued to the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority requiring Federal Water Act Section 401 certification for the disposal of dredged material into the CDF prior to each dredging and disposal event. The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has sampled and tested the sediments in accordance with Attachment A ''Sample Collection and Testing Protocol'' of both Water Obstruction and Encroachments Permits E25-404A and E25-581. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the approximately 500 cubic yards of basin sediments from the East Avenue Launch Ramp (Erie North, PA N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 inches) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) will have a relatively insignificant impact on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FROM QUALIFIED CONTRACTORS OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AMD TREATMENT SYSTEMS The Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation (BAMR) is seeking qualified contractors to provide the services needed to maintain interim treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) discharges. This work will include the operation and maintenance of existing AMD treatment systems as well as the operation and maintenance of new or supplemental systems designed and constructed under BAMR authority. This work will be performed in the anthracite and bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania.
Contractors should submit information that describes their personnel qualifications, direct experience and geographical areas of interest. This information must be submitted to BAMR on or before 2 p.m., April 25, 2001. BAMR will maintain a list of qualified contractors, grouped by geographical area of interest as well as the type of active or passive AMD treatment systems they are qualified to operate and maintain. This list will be used in one of two ways. If a need arises because of circumstances constituting an emergency as described in Section 516 of the Commonwealth Procurement Code, one or more qualified contractors may be selected from the list of qualified firms without competitive bid and issued a contract for the short-term. The second way the list may be used is to invite qualified contractors, and other interested firms, to participate in the Request for Proposal process if a contractor is needed to operate and maintain the site for the long-term.
The types of AMD treatment systems that will require operation and maintenance have not yet been specifically identified. Generally, most of the work will include active treatment systems such as, but not limited to, the following:
* Lime slurry
* Pebble lime slurry
* Calcium oxide
* Caustic soda flush or drip
* Soda ash briquettes
* Hydrated lime Many of these systems will require the operation and maintenance of facilities such as mixing systems, slurry storage tanks, clarifiers, pumps, retention dams and wells. Any well-developed technologies for active AMD treatment systems may be considered, as will well-developed technologies for passive AMD treatment systems. The types of passive AMD treatment systems include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Limestone beds
* Aerobic wetlands
* Anoxic limestone drains
* Vertical flow systems
* Semi-active dosing systems
Any combination of active and passive AMD treatment systems may also be considered.
The information to be submitted to BAMR includes the contractor's personnel qualifications, direct experience, and geographical areas of interest. Include the number of professional personnel such as analysts, auditors, researchers, programmers, consultants and others who may be engaged in the work. For each personnel listed, include education and experience in geology, engineering, mine water treatment and abatement. Indicate the responsibilities each will have and how long each has been with your company. Include experience in the operation and maintenance of AMD treatment systems as well as acid mine water prevention, abatement and treatment and the design of AMD mitigation projects. Experience shown should be work done by individuals who will be assigned to this work as well as that of the company. Identify studies or projects referred and for customers, provide the name, address, and telephone number of the responsible official, customer, company, or agency.
