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--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 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, please 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.

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. 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.
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.

Public Hearing Graybec Lime, Inc. (P. O. Box 448, Bellefonte, PA 16823) has submitted an application to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for approval to construct limestone processing equipment, as well as install four fabric collectors, at their facility located in Spring Township, Centre County. The information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis indicates that the subject air contamination sources may potentially result in emission increases of up to 18.3 tons per year of particulate matter and 8.8 tons per year of PM-10 (particulate matter sized less than 10 microns). Although Graybec's application stated that the new air contamination sources would be subject to the Federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements (40 CFR 52.21), the Department subsequently determined that the emissions to be associated with the new limestone processing equipment are not great enough in magnitude to constitute a ''significant net emissions increase'' and that the new limestone processing was consequently not subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration requirements. A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed construction and installation will meet all applicable air quality requirements. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue plan approval to construct the respective limestone processing equipment which is comprised of an 8' × 24' triple deck screen and eight belt conveyors, as well as install four fabric collectors.
To ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
1. The limestone processing equipment is to be constructed in accordance with the plans submitted with the application (as approved herein).

This plan approval is also issued for the installation of four reverse pulse fabric collectors.
* The first collector, designated as 12-D-112, shall have a minimum fabric area of 769 square feet and handle no more than 3,500 cubic feet of air per minute. It will control the air contaminant emissions from an existing Allis-Chalmers gyratory crusher, 42" belt conveyor and 30" belt conveyor.
* The second collector, designated as 12-D-324, shall have a minimum fabric area of 4,806 square feet and handle no more than 25,000 cubic feet of air per minute. It will control the air contaminant emissions from an existing Symons cone crusher, 6' × 16' double deck screen, 48" belt conveyor, 42" belt conveyor, 36" belt conveyor, 30" belt conveyor, 24" belt conveyor and three 100 ton storage bins as well as the air contaminant emissions from the new 8' x 24' triple deck screen, the three new 36" belt conveyors and from one of the four new 30" belt conveyors.
* The third collector, designated as 12-D-328, shall have a minimum fabric area of 1,696 square feet and handle no more than 7,500 cubic feet of air per minute. It will control the air contaminant emissions from an existing 36" belt conveyor as well as the air contaminant emissions from three of the four new 30" belt conveyors.
* The fourth collector, designated as 13-D-20, shall have a minimum fabric area of 1,696 square feet and handle no more than 8,500 cubic feet of air per minute. It will control the air contaminant emissions from an existing 30" belt conveyor as well as the air contaminant emissions from one of the four new 30" belt conveyors and the new 24" belt conveyor.
The company shall submit operating and design specifications for the four fabric collectors within 15 days of finalizing the vendor selection to verify that the respective fabric collectors meet the design criteria specified herein. If the Department determines that any of the four fabric collectors do not meet the design criteria specified herein, this plan approval is automatically null and void with respect to that fabric collector as well as any new piece of limestone processing equipment to be controlled by that fabric collector.
2. Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the exhaust of the fabric collectors designated herein as 12-D-324, 12-D-328 and 13-D-20 shall not contain particulate matter in excess of 0.01 grains per dry standard cubic foot.
3. The fabric collectors identified herein shall be equipped with instrumentation to continuously monitor the differential pressure across each collector.
4. The air compressors associated with the fabric collectors identified herein shall be equipped with air dryers and oil traps.
5. The company shall keep on hand a sufficient quantity of spare fabric collector bags for the fabric collectors associated with the aforementioned sources to be able to immediately replace any bags requiring replacement due to deterioration resulting from routine operation of the sources and fabric collectors.
6. Issuance of an operating permit for the aforementioned sources is contingent upon the sources being constructed and the air cleaning devices being installed, and the sources and associated air cleaning devices being maintained and operated, as described in the application and supplemental materials submitted for plan approval, as well as in accordance with all conditions contained herein, and upon satisfactory demonstration that any air contaminants emitted from the sources are in compliance with the requirements specified in any condition contained herein, any applicable requirement contained in Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676, and the applicable requirements specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.13 as well as in compliance with the requirements specified in, or established under other applicable rule or regulation contained in Article III.
7. The company shall immediately notify the Department of any malfunction of the sources or associated air cleaning devices which results in, or may possibly be resulting in, the emission of air contaminants in excess of the limitations specified in any applicable requirement contained in Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676, or in excess of the limitations specified in, or established under any applicable rule or regulation contained in 25 Pa.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Settlement under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Naginey Quarry Site Armagh Township, Mifflin County The 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 a proposed Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with Christopher J. and Kimba J. Swyers (Swyers), also doing business as Mifflin County Recycling (collectively the Settlors) regarding response actions, response costs and access at the Naginey Quarry Site (site).
The site is 55 acres of land located in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, approximately 3 miles east of the town of Milroy. The site is located in a rural area bordered on the south and east by agricultural lands, on the west by private residences and on the north by the Mifflin County Recycling Center and a limestone quarry. Approximately 11 acres of the site are currently owned by others, but subject to an option-to-purchase agreement by Settlors (Naginey Property). The remaining acreage of the site was sold. Approximately 1.7 acre were sold to Joe Krentzman and Sons, Inc. in 1972 (Krentzman Property); approximately 11.67 acres were sold to Mr. Bonson in 1996 and resold to Eastern Industries; approximately 28.22 acres were sold to Settlors through a Purchase Agreement in 1996 (Swyers Property), along with the option referenced previously.
From 1972 to 1980, Krentzman leased its 1.7 acre to several related entities, the last being Independent Trading Corporation (ITC). The operations of these entities included the processing of spent batteries. These entities dumped battery casings and other solid waste both on the Krentzman Property and the Naginey Property.
Prior to Settlors owning or operating at the site, hazardous substances within the meaning of section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601(14), and section 103 of HSCA, were disposed by others at the Naginey Property. Lead, arsenic and antimony have contaminated the surface water, groundwater, soil and/or sediments at the site. Based upon a Remedial Investigation, the Department has determined that further response actions are necessary to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the site. The Department's proposed response includes excavation of contaminated soils and off-site disposal.
The Department has information indicating that Charles H. and Constance C. Naginey, Independent Trading Corporation and Joe Krentzman and Sons, Inc. are responsible persons for the site within the meaning of section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9607, and section 701 of HSCA. The Department has settled with Charles H. and Constance C. Naginey concerning the site. This is documented in a Consent Order and Agreement dated July 27, 1998.
Based upon the information that the Department has obtained concerning Settlors and the site, and based upon the information certified to by Settlors, the Department has determined that Settlors: (1) did not conduct or permit the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substances at the site; (2) did not contribute to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the site through any act or omission; and (3) acquired the approximately 28 acre parcel of the property within the site with no actual or constructive knowledge that that 28 acre parcel of the property was used for the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substance, and (4) Settlors now intend to acquire the approximately 11 acre Naginey Property within the site after the date of this COA and after receiving the release and contribution protection afforded by this COA.
Based upon this, the Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve the foregoing matters without litigation and to enter into a de minimis settlement with Settlors section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622(g), and section 70 of HSCA.
On February 28, 2000, the Department and the Settlors entered into a Consent Order and Agreement. Under the terms of the COA, the Settlors will pay the Department $10, and upon purchase of the Naginey Property, shall grant the Department and its designated agents, including contractors and responsible persons under the direction of the Department, access to and entry upon the Naginey Property and Swyers Property to perform Response actions at the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA. This section provides that the settlement will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Armagh Township Municipal Building, 224 College Avenue, Milroy, PA 17063, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The Administrative record will be open for comment from the March 25, 2000, date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 60 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before May 25, 2000, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at the previously noted address.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Standards Remediation Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions to the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan.
