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.

Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, George Monasky, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
37-264G: Ellwood Quality Steels (700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101) For modification of the existing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) to allow the Melt Shop to increase production from 415,446 to 450,000 tons of steel per year in Lawrence County.
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21(1)(2), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Ellwood Quality Steels to modify the existing EAF in Lawrence County. This modification will allow the Melt Shop to increase production from 415,446 to 450,000 tons of steel per year.
Ellwood Quality Steels has filed an application with the Department (230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335) to modify the EAF. EQS is proposing to increase production capacity of the Melt Shop by reducing tap-to-tap time at the EAF. The major factor in the projected EAF production increase is a new 35/42 mva transformer at the EAF, which will increase production by a maximum of 2.4 heats per day. The new transformer has the same secondary amperage, but a slightly higher secondary voltage which provides a longer, more stable arc, allowing a theoretical 5% reduction in the current ''power on time.'' Other operational and mechanical improvements include increased operator efficiency, replacement of the EAF electrode regulation system and EAF gunning machine.
Applicable requirements for the proposed application include the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations (40 CFR 52.21). 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.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis, the proposed modifications to the EAFs will have a net emission increase of: NOx 13 tpy; CO 179 tpy; SO2 16 tpy; VOCs 11 tpy PM < 10 µm 8 tpy; and Total Suspended Particulates 8 tpy.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of BACT, as required by the PSD regulations. The expected allowable emission increase in CO from the proposed facility modifications exceeds the significant emission rate of 100 tpy listed under 40 CFR 52.21(b)(23)(i). A source impact analysis, under 40 CFR 52.21(k), was necessary to demonstrate that the CO emission will not contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Additional impact analyses were required under 40 CFR 52.21(o). A Class I Area analysis was not required as no PSD increment standards exist for CO and CO emissions do not play a significant role in visibility degradation, thus the proposed modification is not expected to have an adverse effect on visibility.
According to 40 CFR 52.21(l) and (2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (relating to Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves the substitute model. Use of the substitute model is subject to notice and an opportunity for public comment.
As an alternative to EPA Guideline Models, ISC-Prime was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed EAF project. Approval for the use of ISC-Prime in this analysis was granted by the EPA Region III. Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83, as well as 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice is hereby given that the Department is soliciting written comments on the use of the ISC-Prime, nonguideline model.
The model estimated that the maximum CO impact will be below the Class II significant impact levels (SILs). This is sufficient to demonstrate that the proposed modifications to the operating procedure at the EQS facility will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of CO NAAQS. The maximum 8-hour CO concentration was also found to be below the de minimis monitoring level for CO.
The results of the NAAQS analysis for CO indicates a total value of 265.7 µg/m3 for a urban 1-hour averaging period and a total value of 199.3 µg/m3 for a urban 8-hour averaging period. The Class II SIL for an urban 1-hour averaging period is 2,000 µg/m3 and for an 8-hour averaging period is 500 µg/m3. The de minimis level for a rural 8-hour averaging period is 575 µg/m3.

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.
