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.

41-00010A: Andritz, Inc. (35 Sherman Street, Muncy, PA 17756-1202) for construction of a thermal foundry sand reclamation system and an associated sand storage silo in Muncy Borough, Lycoming County. Andritz, Inc. is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (41-000010) has been issued.
The proposed thermal sand reclamation system will consist of a fluidized bed reclamation unit and associated sand feed system, heat exchanger and sand cooler/classifier. It will incorporate a 15.3 million Btu per hour natural gas-fired burner and will have a capacity of 6 tons of sand per hour. The proposed thermal sand reclamation system will replace a thermal sand reclaimer constructed in 1987. The purpose of the proposed thermal sand reclamation system is to remove residual organic binder materials from used foundry sand to enable reuse of the sand.
A fabric collector will also be installed for the control of particulate matter, including PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 microns), from the reclamation system as well as that from three sand storage silos (the proposed new silo and two existing silos which are to be relocated within the facility).
The operation of the thermal sand reclamation system and associated silos will result in the emission of up to 9.28 tons of particulate matter (including PM10), 1.53 tons of sulfur oxides, 9.08 tons of nitrogen oxides, 2.33 tons of VOCs, 2.58 tons of carbon monoxide and .355 ton of total combined hazardous air pollutants.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed thermal sand reclamation system and sand silo and the two existing relocated sand silos, will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the Best Available Technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval to construct the proposed thermal sand reclamation system and sand silo.
