[Continued from previous Web Page] 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, 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 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 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 the 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 a 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. 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 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 to 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.

Notice of Intent to Issue a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit Notice is given in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to Ellwood Quality Steels Company (EQS), 700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101, for their plant located in New Castle, Lawrence County. The facility currently has a Title V Permit No. 37-00264. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan Approval No. PA-37-0264B is for modification of the No. 19 Furnace. The modification will remove the existing burners and replace them with modern low NOx technology. This modification will result in a reduction of approximately 10 TPY of NOx emissions. The facility shall be required to install and maintain the low NOx burners in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, and consistent with good air pollution control practices. The facility will also limit the natural gas consumption from furnaces No. 17, 18, 19 and 20 to not exceed 590,358 MCF of natural gas (based on a 12-month rolling total). The NOx facility-wide emissions shall not exceed 85 tons per year (based on a 12-month rolling total). Also, the facility shall install and maintain fuel meters for the furnaces, the boiler, the two ladle preheaters, the EAF preheater, the scrap torch, the gas cutter and the miscellaneous heaters. The facility shall maintain a rolling total of the hours of operation, natural gas consumption and facility production by adding the monthly totals to the 11 previous months. In the event that EQS uses the NOx emission decreases from the modification of the Number 19 furnace within the next 5 years, the facility shall perform NOx emission testing consistent with the sampling and testing procedures of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

On a 24-hour basis, the VOC emissions are limited to 420 grams of VOC (minus water and exempt compounds) after adjustment to a standard solvent density of 7.36 pounds per gallon and on a solid basis.
c. Low vapor pressure solvent for surface cleaning and surface preparation.
d. Use of an airless spray gun with 70% transfer efficiency.
e. Emission rates from each boiler are limited to:
Pollutant Limitation Carbon monoxide (CO) 400 ppmvd @ 3% O2 Nitrogen oxides (NOx) 30 ppmvd @ 3% O2 Particulate matter (PM) 0.10 pound per million BTU of heat input 2. Total emissions from Kvaerner:
