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.

INTERSTATE OZONE TRANSPORT REDUCTION Proposed Revisions to Title V Operating Permit Conditions relating to NOx Budget
Trading ProgramThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to revise the existing Title V Operating Permit to exempt affected NOx budget units from certain monitoring and reporting requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 145.1--145.90. These regulations establish a NOx Budget and a NOx Budget Trading Program for NOx budget units for the purpose of achieving the health-based ozone ambient air quality standard. This proposed revision was requested by the permittee as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 145.4(b). This section provides for exemption from the requirements of the NOx Budget Trading Program except for 25 Pa. Code §§ 145.2, 145.3, 145.4(a), 145.7, 145.40--145.43, 145.50--145.57 and 145.60--145.62 by limiting the operating hours of the NOx affected sources located at the facility.
The revised Title V Operating Permit will, beginning in 2003, require the owner or operator of the NOx budget units located at the facility to establish a general account and record the hours of operation of each unit. The revised Title V Operating Permit will also include monitoring, reporting and recordkeeping requirements for each of the NOx budget units.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed Title V/Operating Permits or allocations 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 permits or allocations. Any comments or protests filed at the following address must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the permit and/or allocations 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 and a newspaper of general circulation, where the facility is located, at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Copies of the proposed permits, allocations and other relevant information are available for review at the following address.
