    LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
    UNDER ACT 2, 1995

    Preamble 1


    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--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 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

    AIR QUALITY

    NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

    NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

       The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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.

       Notice is hereby given that DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

       Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.

       Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the DEP providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with DEP 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 DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

       Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

       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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the Act.

       a)  Stack testing shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139 and the Department's Source Testing Manual.

       b)  At least 60 days prior to the test, the owner/operator shall submit to the Department two copies of the procedures for the stack test and drawings with dimensions indicating the location of sampling ports and other data to ensure the collection of representative samples.

       c)  At least 15 days prior to the test, the Regional Air Quality Manager shall be informed of the date and time of the test.

       d)  All relevant operating parameters (for example, boiler steam flow, air flow, gross megawatts, O2; CEMS heat input and stack flue gas volumetric flow rate; and/or SCR ammonia feed flow rate) shall be recorded at appropriate intervals throughout the duration of the stack tests. Operating data recorded shall be sufficient to establish that the units and the air cleaning devices are operating at maximum routine operating conditions. A discussion of the recorded operating parameters and values shall be included in the test report.

       e)  Within 60 days after the stack test, two copies of the complete test report, including all recorded operating parameters, shall be submitted to the Regional Air Quality Manager for approval.

       7.  Owner/operator shall keep a monthly log of all urea delivered to this facility. These records shall be kept onsite for a period of 5 years and be made available to the Department upon request. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b).

       8.  This approval to construct shall become invalid (1) if construction is not commenced (as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(8)) within 18 months after the date of this approval; or (2) if construction is discontinued for a period of 18 months or more. (25 Pa. Code § 127.13(b)).

       9. This Plan Approval authorizes temporary operation of the sources and/or control devices covered by this Plan Approval provided the following conditions are met. (25 Pa. Code § 127.12b(d))

       a)  The Department must receive written notice from the Owner/Operator of the completion of construction and the operator's intent to commence operation at least 5 working days prior to the completion of construction. The notice should state when construction will be completed and when operator expects to commence operation.

       b)  Operation is permitted only to facilitate the start-up and shake-down of sources and/or air cleaning devices, to permit operations pending the issuance of an Operating Permit or to permit the evaluation of the sources and/or control devices for compliance with all applicable regulations and requirements.

       c)  This condition authorizes temporary operation of the sources and/or control devices for a period of 180 days from the date of commencement of operation, provided the Department receives notice from the Owner/Operator under subpart (a).

       d)  The Owner/Operator may request an extension if compliance with all applicable regulations and Plan Approval requirements has not been established. The extension request shall be submitted in writing at least 15 days prior to the end of this period of temporary operation and shall provide a description of the compliance status of the sources and/or control devices, a detailed schedule for establishing compliance and the reasons compliance has not been established.

       e)  The notice submitted by the Owner/Operator under subpart (a), above, prior to the expiration of this Plan Approval, shall modify the plan approval expiration date. The new Plan Approval expiration date shall be 180 days from the date of the written notice.

    Schuylkill

       Plan Description: An Update Revision to the Pine Grove Borough and the Pine Grove Township Official Sewage Facilities Plans has been denied Departmental approval. This Update Revision was developed for the Borough and the Township by the Pine Grove Joint Treatment Authority. The Update Revision contains a Selected Alternative that calls for a sewer line replacement program in portions of Pine Grove Borough and the construction of a new 2.0 million gallon per day (MGD) sewage treatment plant. The new plant is to be located in Pine Grove Township at a site along the western side of the I-81 Pine Grove interchange. A new pump station and a 10,000 lineal foot force main/interceptor are to be constructed to convey the sewage from the existing service area to the location of the new plant. The Update Revision indicates that the chosen alternative was to be financed through a grant from U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service (RUS), in the amount of $9,044,030 and a $3,018,679 loan for a term of 40-years at an interest rate of 4.5 percent. The timeline for completing the Selected Alternative is found in the Schedule of Implementation of the Update Revision.

       The reason for the Department denying planning approval of the Update Revision is that the Selected Alternative cannot be implemented as presented and failed to contain any contingency financial plan.

       Regional Office: Regional Manager, Water Management Program, Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

       Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.

       Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: March 17, 2000.

       Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under Section 401(a) of the act that the 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--303, 306 and 307 of the 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 effect 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.

       Location: Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N:  4.7 inches; W:  10.3 inches) Erie City, Erie County.

       Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a one-time certification for the described project.
