[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY OPERATING PERMIT
Notice of Intent to Revise Operating Permits for Large Municipal Waste Combustors
Under section 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) to control the emission of combustor gases from existing large municipal waste combustors (MWCs). (See 60 FR 65382, December 19, 1995, and 62 FR 45116, August 25, 1997). The guidelines are codified at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb (relating to emission guidelines and compliance times for large municipal waste combustors that are constructed on or before September 20, 1994). The Subpart Cb requirements apply to any existing large MWC unit that is capable of combusting more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to submit Section 111(d)/129 State Plan for large MWCs to EPA by March 27, 1998. In accordance with the Plan, the Department will implement the EG by incorporating the applicable requirement of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Cb into Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPs). The revised FESOPs will serve as the legally enforceable mechanism to implement the Subpart Cb requirements.
Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Department's Southeast Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the Regional Office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the issuance of the revised permit and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of the hearing at least 30 days prior to the hearing.
The following designated MWC facilities must comply with the Subpart Cb requirements.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Final Remedial Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company Newberry Township, York County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is considering initiating a final remedial action for the Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company (ISCC) site. Under the Department's proposed action an existing waterline will be extended to additional supplies potentially impacted by the groundwater contamination originating from the ISCC site, an asphalt cap will be placed over contaminated soils remaining on the site, and in-stream treatment will be provided for impacted surface waters.
The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private water supply wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.
The Department considered three alternatives: (1) continuing with the monitoring program already in place; (2) extending public water service to supplies potentially impacted above health-based risk levels, and (3) extending the public water service, providing an asphalt cap for the site, and providing in-stream treatment for surface water. Pumping and treating the groundwater was ruled out because it would not be practical or cost-effective. The Department prefers the third alternative because it is protective of human health and the environment, complies with regulations and is cost effective.
This notice is provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)), and publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action is available for public review and comment.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Public Notice Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Non-major 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.
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.
Settlement Under the
Hazardous Sites Cleanup ActIndustrial Solvents and Chemical Company Newberry Township, York 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 Flexographic Technology, Inc. (FlexTec) regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3.3 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
On February 3, 1998, the Department and FlexTec entered into the proposed consent order and agreement. Under the terms of the COA, FlexTec will pay the Department $750 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). 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. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent order and agreement to the Department by July 1, 1998, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
