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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before 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.

Plan approval No. 33-002C is for the modification of the HEST plan approval 33-309-017A. The modification will replace the coating agent of tin tetrachloride with mono-butylin trichloride (MBTT). Ammonia emissions from the process will be limited to 250 ppm, 2.8 lbs/hr, and 12.3 TPY. VOC emissions will be limited to 0.8 lb/hr and 3.2 TPY. HCL emissions will be limited to 0.025 lb/hr and 0.1 TPY. The applicant will be required to comply with the outlet particulate emission rate of 0.02 gr/dscf. In addition to the emission testing the applicant will be required to monitor the ammonia concentration on a weekly basis using a colorimetric detector or equivalent method approved by the Department. The facility will be required to record the pressure drop across the baghouse, the MBTT addition rate, and the ammonia injection rate. The applicant will be required to report ammonia concentrations exceeding 250 ppm within 24 hours. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the applications, Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Northwest Regional Department Office, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.

The initial permit was issued on 11-7-2001. The facility prints and distributes daily and weekly news publications. As a result of potential emissions of VOCs and NOx, the facility is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G. The proposed Title V Operating Renewal does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. The facility is not subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring under 40 CFR Part 64.

67-05064: York Building Products (950 Smile Way, York, PA 17404-1798) for renewal of their State-only Operating Permit for operation of their asphalt plant in Spring Garden Township, York County. The renewal of the state only operating permit will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting requirements, emission restrictions, and work practice standards designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
41-00028: Koppers Industries, Inc. (P. O. Box 189, Montgomery, PA 17752) for renewal of State Only Operating Permit 41-00028 for a railroad crosstie treatment facility in Clinton Township, Lycoming County.
The facility consists of three treatment cylinders in which wooden crossties are treated with creosote as well as associated creosote storage tanks, condensate tanks, a 33,475,000 Btu per hour No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler, a treated crosstie storage area, several cutoff saws, a 220 horsepower diesel-fired fire pump, a wastewater treatment plant and a fuel oil storage tank. The air contaminant emissions from the three treatment cylinders, the creosote storage tanks and one of the condensate tanks (the ''blow-down tank'') are controlled by four condensers. The particulate matter emissions from the cutoff saws are controlled by two cyclone collectors.
The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 49.04 tons of NOx, 37.73 tons of SOx, 13.93 tons of VOCs, 12.55 tons of CO, 6.33 tons of PM 3.77 tons of which could be PM10 and 6.91 tons of HAPs per year.
For the purposes of the Title V operating permit program, the facility is not a major facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 41-00028. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in State Only Operating Permit 41-00028 with these exceptions, changes and/or additions:
1. A ''synthetic minor'' condition limiting the facility's sulfur oxides emissions to less than 100 tons per year has been deleted as it is no longer possible for the facility to emit 100 or more tons of sulfur oxides per year. The respective condition is consequently no longer needed.
2. Conditions requiring weekly ''walk around'' inspections of the facility and the maintenance of records of these inspections have been removed as the respective conditions infer that facility personnel need monitor the facility's air contamination sources only once per week. The monitoring of sources should be an integral part of normal source operation and should therefore occur on a more-or-less continuous basis.
3. A condition has been added prohibiting the creation of air pollution, as defined in the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act.
4. Several conditions have been modified to reflect the existence of four condensers associated with the facility's three treatment cylinders and the creosote storage tanks rather than one condenser, as is erroneously stated in the current permit. These conditions have also been modified to reflect the existence of a blow-down tank and a decanter tank, neither of which is mentioned in the current permit.
5. A condition has been added prohibiting the use of diesel fuel in the facility's fire pump to which recycled/reprocessed oil, waste oil or other waste materials have been added.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the calculations used to verify compliance with the applicable PM emission limit for the facility's cutoff saws have been deleted as such calculations are, at best, only crude emission estimates which cannot possibly be used to ''verify compliance'' with anything. The records are consequently of no value.
7. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the materials stored in the facility's No. 2 fuel oil storage tank has been replaced with a condition requiring the maintenance of records of the identity of the materials stored in the respective tank.
8. The facility's wastewater treatment plant has been added to the permit as an air contamination source.

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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

Clarification of Class I Impacts
Plan Approval at a Title V Facility No. PA-11-00513A
Notice is hereby given concerning the degree of increment consumption for PSD Class I wilderness areas from the proposed Cambria Coke Company (CCC) facility to be located in Cambria Township, Cambria County. The Plan Approval was issued on April 4, 2005, and subsequently modified on May 4, 2005.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's CALPUFF modeling program was used to model the effect of the proposed facility's emissions on three PSD Class I areas: Otter Creek and Dolly Sods Wilderness Areas, West Virginia and Shenandoah Wilderness Area, Virginia. Modeling included 3 years worth of meteorological data and included the cumulative impacts of existing facilities. Based on the modeling information provided by the applicant, at the time and place of the maximum SO2 cumulative concentrations in each Class I area, Cambria's contribution to that concentration exceeded the significant impact levels as follows. Because one exceedance of the short-term increment is allowed per year, the impacts shown are acceptable. No values exceeding the short-term levels were found in the other modeled years (1992 and 1996) or at the other Class I areas.
