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 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, 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.

6. The SOx (expressed as SO2) emissions from each boiler shall not exceed 1.2 pounds per million Btu of heat input and the total combined SOx emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 91.58 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
7. The NOx (expressed as NO2) emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .13 pound per million Btu of heat input and the total combined NOx emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 9.92 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
8. The CO emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .061 pound per million Btu of heat input and the total combined CO emissions from both boilers shall not exceed 4.66 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
9. The VOC emissions from each boiler shall not exceed .012 pound per million Btu of heat input then the total combined VOC emissions from both boilers shall not exceed .92 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.
10. Each of the Breslove collectors shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor the pressure differential across the collector on a continuous basis.
11. The ash removal valves located at the bottom of the Breslove collectors' ash hoppers shall be kept closed except when accumulated ash is being removed from the hoppers. Ash shall be removed from the hoppers frequently enough to ensure that ash does not build up in the hoppers and interfere with proper collector performance and/or become reentrained in the gas stream flowing through the collector.
12. Within 180 days of commencement of operation of each of the boilers, the permittee shall perform stack testing on the respective boiler to determine the PM, NOx and CO emission rates from the boiler while it is operating at full load.
13. For each separate load of coal delivered to the facility for use in the boilers, the permittee shall obtain from the coal supplier a fuel certification report which contains the following information:
a. The date of delivery and the name of the supplier.
b. The results of analyses performed on the coal for sulfur content, ash content, moisture content and heat content.
c. The location of the coal when the sample was collected for the performance of the analyses listed previously.
d. Identification of the specific analytical methods used to perform the analyses listed previously.
If the coal supplier does not provide a fuel certification report for a load which contains all of this required information, the permittee shall not accept delivery of the load nor shall the permittee accept delivery of the load if the coal supplier provides a fuel certification report for the load which shows that the sulfur content of the load is in excess of .77% by weight (as received).
All data generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request. Additionally, the permittee shall submit a report to the Department semiannually.
14. The permittee shall maintain records of the amount of coal burned in each of the two boilers during each day. All data generated under this condition shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request. Additionally, the permittee shall submit a report to the Department semiannually.

The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
