    Preamble 1


    Acknowledgment of Notice of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

       Sections 302, 303, 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 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 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 a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a 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's 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 the Department's 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.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Proposed Modification to Consent Order and Agreement
    Filmore Site
    Millcreek Township,
    Erie County

       Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to modify the May 10, 1995 Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) between LOC, Incorporation (LOC, Inc.) and the Department concerning the cleanup of the Filmore Site (Site) (hereinafter Modification).

       In the past, hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. As an owner of a portion of the Site subsequent to hazardous substance disposal and initial releases at the Site, and during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site, LOC, Inc. is a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA. In paragraph 3 of the CO&A, LOC, Inc. agreed to pay the Department $5,000 toward the Department's response costs. LOC, Inc. has complied with this provision of the CO&A. In Paragraph 4 of the CO&A, LOC, Inc. agrees to grant the Department access to perform response actions at the Site. LOC, Inc. is complying with this provision of the CO&A. The Department anticipates that additional response actions will be conducted at the Site in 1999 to mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances there.

       The Department has conducted a study to evaluate the alternatives to remediate the soils at the property. The study shows that excavating 2 feet of the contaminated soils and waste, backfilling with clean material and installing a gravel cover (gravel cover alternative) will protect the public health and the environment, and is the most cost effective alternative. However, LOC, Inc. requested that the Department consider another alternative that essentially consists of constructing a concrete cover at the property (concrete cover alternative). The concrete cover alternative would be designed and constructed so that it would protect human health and the environment as well as, or better than, the gravel cover alternative. Upon consideration of this request, the Department has determined that the request is reasonable. In paragraph G of the Modification, LOC, Inc. agrees to reimburse the Department in the amount of $122,601, plus interest, which represents the difference in present worth costs between the gravel cover alternative and concrete cover alternative. LOC, Inc. will undertake future maintenance obligations related to the concrete cover alternative.

       The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Modification between the Department and LOC, Inc. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Modification for 90 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Modification if the comments concerning the Modification disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Modification is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with LOC, Inc. shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies LOC, Inc., in writing, that this Modification is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Modification, or that no such comments were received.

       Copies of the CO&A and Modification are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Charles Tordella, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Charles Tordella at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.

    LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

    Under Act 2, 1995

    Preamble 3


    The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards 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 Remediation Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of 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. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

       For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears.

Cherokee Facility Riverside, Pennsylvania for the proposed fluidized bed combustor for the burning of liquid hazardous wastes and industrial sludge. The Protocol will serve as the method outline for performing a multipathway risk assessment for the handling and burning of the liquid hazardous wastes and industrial sludge in the proposed fluidized bed combustor at the Cherokee facility. Interested individuals may review the Protocol by contacting David Aldenderfer, Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West 3rd Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

    Certified Emission Reduction Credits in Pennsylvania's ERC Registry

       Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department of confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:

       (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements.

       (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities.

       (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.

       The certified ERCs shown as follows, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

       For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.

    Application Period for Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant Applications Under Act 101, § 904

    The Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988
    Calendar Year 1998 Recycling

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling performance grant assistance for recycling programs under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904) (Act 101). Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. This application period is for eligible materials recycled and marketed in calendar year 1998.

       Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant funds will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source separated recyclable materials identified in section 1501(c)(1)(i) of Act 101 recovered by municipal recycling programs, and the population of the municipality as determined by the most recent decennial census. Municipalities will be eligible to receive an award based on a formula of $5 for each Department approved ton of eligible recyclable materials recycled or marketed and $1 per approved ton for each percentage of municipal waste calculated by the Department to be diverted from disposal. The weight eligible materials allowable from nonresidential (commercial, institutional and municipal) sources under the preceding formula will be limited to no more than the weight of approved eligible materials from residential sources. Any approved materials from nonresidential sources not factored into the preceding formula will be awarded a bonus of $10 per ton. The Department will not award grants calculated to be less than $10.

       Eligible materials include postconsumer: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum cans, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper and plastics. Grants will be awarded only for properly documented, eligible materials that were actually marketed on or after January 1, 1998, to and including December 31, 1998. Grant funds will not be awarded for residues, materials not listed as eligible including, but not limited to, leaf and yard wastes, or any materials which cannot be documented as being recycled into a new product or use.

       Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and marketed must be made available for auditing by the Department, the Office of the Attoney General, the Office of the Treasurer or agents of those offices for 4 years. The Department will not require applicants to retain hauler customer lists; however, the lists may be required to be examined in the event of an audit. It will be the applicant's responsibility to arrange for hauler customer lists to be provided, or for haulers to be present with their customer lists, during a grant audit. Supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application.

       Acceptable Supporting Documentation:  Weight slips or receipts verifying that the materials were recycled or marketed are required as supporting documentation for the grant application. The documentation must include: 1) the date the materials were recycled/marketed; 2) the type of material recycled/marketed; 3) the name of the municipality where the material was generated; and, 4) the weight, stated in pounds or tons, of the material recycled/marketed. Documentation supporting materials source separated from municipal waste by commercial/institutional establishments and recycled/marketed must bear the name of the establishment and the municipality where the establishment is located.

       Acceptable documentation must be provided in one of the following formats: 1) a dated weight/market receipt identifying the generator of the recyclable materials and the market; or, 2) a dated report submitted by the hauler or market on company letterhead clearly indicating the name of the company generating the recyclable materials; or, 3) a dated report submitted by the generator, which is signed by the hauler or market vendor that received the materials.

       Although the supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the grant application, any documentation provided must conform to the above requirements or the materials claimed will not be credited toward the grant award.

       Grant applications must be on forms provided by the Department for calendar year 1998. Grant applications must be delivered by 3 p.m., September 30, 1999, or postmarked on or before that day.

    Availability of Grants for the Remediation of Waste Tire Piles in Pennsylvania Under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190 of 1996)

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of grants under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190 of 1996) for fiscal year 99/00 for the remediation of waste tire piles in Pennsylvania. Act 190 provides a grant program, tax credits and enforcement provisions to reduce the stockpiles of waste tires. The Waste Tire Pile Remediation Grant Program is funded through the Used Tire Pile Remediation Restricted Account, which may receive up to $1,000,000 annually from the Recycling Fund established by Act 101, the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. Grants totaling $1,000,000 may be awarded annually from this account.

       To be considered for a grant, an applicant: 1) must propose to remediate a waste tire pile that is on the Department's list of priority waste tire piles (copies of this list are available from the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, (717) 787-7381, or may be obtained electronically by means of the Department's Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us under the Municipal and Residual Waste page); 2) must not have contributed, in any manner, to the creation of a noncompliant waste tire pile; and 3) must have an identifiable end-use for the waste tires to be remediated.

       Grant funds are to be used for activities directly related to the remediation of priority waste tire sites (such as employe wages, operation of equipment, transportation, processing costs, and the like). Grants may not be used for the purchase of equipment and grant recipients shall use funds only for those activities approved by the Department.

       All applicants must complete and submit an official two-part application for each proposed tire pile remediation. The Waste Tire Remediation Grant Application Parts A and B include all the materials and instructions necessary for applying for a grant. Copies of these documents are available by contacting the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste at (717) 787-7381 or may be obtained electronically from the Department Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us. Five copies of the application containing both Parts A and B must be completed and submitted by 4 p.m. on May 21, 1999 to: Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, 14th Floor-Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472. Applications, which are incomplete or arrive after the deadline, will not be considered.

       At a minimum, all applications must contain: (1) a description of the applicant's experience in waste tire remediation, (2) markets or end-uses for the remediated tires, (3) a schedule for the remediation of tires at the site, (4) proposed cost of the waste tire pile remediation, and (5) any additional information the Department deems necessary. Please follow the instructions in the Part A and B Grant Application to assure you are submitting all of the necessary information in the correct format.

       Persons who have questions about this grant program should contact the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste (717) 787-7381.
