LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 2
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 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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 and 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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified, a municipality 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 a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department 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 1 (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

AIR RESOURCES 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.
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 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.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds and Public Hearing Approval of an amendment of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a truck van chassis manufacturing facility owned and operated by Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Operating Permit No. OP-47-0002 issued on August 28, 1996, and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination which the Department proposes to incorporate into Operating Permit No. OP-47-0002 for three additional minor sources of volatile organic compounds as a revision to the respective permit:
1) The combined potential to emit volatile organic compounds from each of the following source categories shall never exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons per year:
600,000 btu per hour kerosene-fired space heater (in combination with 11 small combustion sources previously identified in Operating Permit No. OP-47-0002).
275 gallon kerosene storage tank (in combination with a 10,000 gallon no. 2 fuel oil storage tank and a 5,000 gallon no. 2 fuel oil storage tank previously identified in Operating Permit No. OP-47-0002).
5,000 watt propane-fired emergency generator.
The Department also proposes to change the 7.5 ton per calendar year volatile organic compound emission limitation currently specified in condition 16 of Operating Permit No. OP-47-0002 for the respective facility's solvent cleaning operations to a limitation of 7.5 tons of volatile organic compounds per 12 consecutive month period.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on July 15, 1998, at 1 p.m. at the Department Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Intent to Issue
Synthetic Minor Operating Permit
Permit No. S95-054Philadelphia County City of Philadelphia Air Management Services (AMS) intends to issue a Synthetic Minor Operating Permit (Permit No. S95-054) to Amerada Hess Corporation for the gasoline terminal located at 1630 South 51st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19143.
The facility is a bulk gasoline terminal subject to the operating permit requirements under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter F (relating to operating permit requirements). It applied for a synthetic minor operating permit and accepted emission limitations in order to avoid being a major facility subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G (relating to Title V operating permits). Its major sources of emissions include three gasoline storage tanks, and a gasoline loading rack which without emission limitations would have the potential to emit major source levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Copies of the Synthetic Minor application, proposed permit and other relevant information are available for public inspection at Air Management Services, Spelman Building, 321 University Avenue--2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19104. An appointment to review the documents may be scheduled by contacting Brenda Bonner at (215) 685-7572 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Synthetic Minor permit to Thomas Huynh, Chief of Source Registration, Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104 within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to AMS during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
AMS 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 any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.
