HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Decree
In the matter of: Paoli Railyards, Paoli,
Chester County, PAThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act and the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, hereby gives notice that it has entered into a proposed Consent Decree with the Fish and Boat Commission, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK), and the Consolidated Railroad Company (CONRAIL) (collectively Rail Companies) relating to the cleanup of the Paoli Railyards National Priority List (NPL) Superfund Site in Paoli, Chester County, PA. The proposed Consent Decree has been lodged with the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania pending completion of the public notice requirements set forth by statute.
The Paoli Railyards NPL Site consists of approximately 25 acres in Paoli, Chester County, PA which is and has been owned and operated as a Railyard and Carshop servicing the Rail Companies. The Site also includes certain neighboring properties and the streambeds of portions of the Little Valley Creek watershed. Contamination at the Site consists primarily of polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs) which have been released on and around the Site as well as certain fuel oil contamination within the Railyard Property.
The EPA and the Department have concurred on the appropriate remedial response for the Site as documented in an EPA Record of Decision (ROD) dated July 21, 1992 for the Site. The remedial action consists of (1) the excavation of PCB contaminated soils and sediments from the Railyard Property, affected neighboring properties and portions of the Little Valley Creek watershed to levels set forth in the ROD; and (2) treatment through permanent construction of a containment facility on the Railyard Property. The remedial response will also consist of the demolition of the Carshop on the Railyard Property and the implementation of a pump and treatment system for groundwaters contaminated with fuel oil from the Railyard.
Under the proposed Consent Decree, the Rail Companies will construct and implement all portions of the remedial action which will take place on the Railyard Property and will reimburse both the Commonwealth and Federal governments for response costs incurred and natural resource damages associated with the Site.
This Notice is being provided under Section 1113 of HSCA. The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed Consent Decree from the date of publication of this Notice. The Proposed Consent Decree may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Department's Southeast Field Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Interested persons may contact Thomas Sheehan at (610) 832-6149 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours. Persons may submit written comments to Thomas Sheehan at the above address. The Department will provide a response to all significant written comments received during the public comment period, and the proposed Consent Decree authorizes the Department to withhold or withdraw its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on comments received during the public comment period, that the Consent Decree is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.

Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Operating Permit
Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). An MSW landfill is considered an existing MSW landfill if the facility began construction, modification or reconstruction before May 30, 1991; or received waste on or after November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for the future deposition of waste control of landfill gases from existing landfills using best demonstrated technology.
The Commonwealth's State Plan for implementing the EG was submitted to the EPA on July 1, 1997. In accordance with the section 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will enforce the requirements of the EG through the issuance of Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPS) to designated MSW landfills. Therefore, in accordance with the plan, the operating permit issued to the landfills identified, will be revised to incorporate the requirements of the EG. This revised permit will serve as the enforcement mechanism for the EG requirements.
Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the persons submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department 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 scheduled public hearings 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.

Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance from Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Matthew A. Bertovich by calling (412) 439-7469.
Summary of the Request: Maple Creek Mining has requested a variance to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entries with other entries at the Maple Creek Mine.
Summary of the Decision: The basis for the Bureau's determination for approval can be summarized in the following statements:
1. The area covered by the variance was previously a double track haulage. By installing the belt in ''C'' track entry, additional needed intakes and return entries have been provided. Also, the belt is totally isolated from the adjacent track/trolley entry.
2. The main intake entries are pressurized, and the main source of ventilation to the working sections.
3. An early warning fire detection system is provided.
The proposed system will minimize the amount of air on the belt entryway necessary for effective ventilation and will still enable the belt entryway to act as an escapeway from the face to the main air current. The entryway being ventilated in common with the belt entryway is neutral and will not contain potential fire sources.

Plan Revision Approval Under the Municipal Waste Planning Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) approved a revision to the Mercer County Municipal Waste Management Plan on August 13, 1997.
Persons aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and the Administrative Agency Law, 2 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5A, to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.
The plan revision is a public document and may be viewed at the Office of the Mercer County Commissioners, Mercer County Courthouse, 103 Courthouse, Mercer, PA, or at the Department of Environmental Protection Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA.
Questions concerning this approval should be directed to Sally Lohman, Planning Section, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472; or Guy McUmber, Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Special Notice The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve revision of Air Quality Plan Approval No. 24-306-003 to increase the NOx emission limits for Willamette Industries, Inc., Penntech Papers' Recovery Boiler from 110 ppm(v), dry corrected to 8% oxygen, 100.7 lbs/hr (30-day rolling average), and 440.9 tons/year, to 120 ppm(v) dry corrected to 8% oxygen, 140.0 lbs/hr (30-day rolling average), and 613.2 tons/year.
Willamette Industries, Inc., Penntech Papers (Willamette) located at 100 Center Street, Johnsonburg, PA 15845, has filed a request with DEP, Air Quality Program, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, for revision of the Recovery Boiler NOx emission limit defined in Plan Approval No. 24-306-003. The revision will be an increase in the NOx emission limit from 110 ppm(v) dry corrected to 8% oxygen, 100.7 lbs/hr (30-day rolling average), and 440.9 tons/yr, to 120 ppm(v) dry corrected to 8% oxygen, 140.0 lb/hr (30-day rolling average), and 613.2 tons/yr.
Based on 2 years of operation experience, Willamette has determined that the throughput and recovery of pulping chemicals per ton of pulp produced is greater than the preconstruction assumed production rate upon which all production and process equipment emission estimates were based. The practical upper limit on production has been determined to be 700 Bone Dry Tons of Pulp (BDTP) vs. 630 BDTP. The increased capacity requires that the Recovery Boiler fire Black Liquor Solids (BLS) at 2.8 million lbs/day; an increase of 0.6 million lbs BLS/day. An increase in the NOx emission limit is necessary to accommodate the increased production demand. Equipment will not be modified.
At the time when Plan Approval No. 24-306-003 was issued, combustion control was determined to be the best available control technology (BACT), for NOx emission reduction for a recovery boiler firing 80% solids black liquor. A review of BACT/LAER/RACT clearing house entries indicates that combustion control continues to be BACT for NOx emission reduction from recovery boilers.
The increase in production is not a ''Major Modification'' as defined in 40 CFR 52.21(b)(2)(I). In accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(b)(2)(iii)(f), an increase in production rate will not be defined as a ''Physical Change''; for Major Modification requirements.
Conditions will be imposed in the revised Plan Approval under the authority granted to the Department by Section 6.1 of the Air Pollution Control Act and 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(b). Such conditions are deemed necessary to insure compliance with the following regulations:
40 CFR Part 51--Stack Height Regulations
40 CFR Part 52--Prevention of Significant Deterioration
40 CFR Part 60--Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources
35 P. S. § 4005--Air Pollution Control Act
25 Pa. Code Ch. 122--Adoption of 40 CFR Part 60
25 Pa. Code Ch. 123--Standards for Contaminants
25 Pa. Code Ch. 127--Construction, Modification, Reactivation and Operation of Sources
25 Pa. Code Ch. 137--Air Pollution Episodes
25 Pa. Code Ch. 141--GEP Stack HeightThe operation of the Recovery Boiler at the increased production rate and the incorporation of the higher emission limit will result in a significant increase in only NOx emissions. The revised increment consumption, as determined through modeling studies based on a 120 ppm(v) emission limit, is as follows:
NOx Increment Consumption:Averaging Allowable PSD Maximum Recovery Maximum Facility Percent of Time Increment Boiler Increment and Nearby Source Increment (µg/m3) (µg/m3) Increment (µg/m3) Annual 25 7.14 10.17 40.68
Additional required impact analysis has shown that no adverse impact on visibility in any nearby Class I area will occur.
The revised Plan Approval would include the following amended condition:
* The NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emissions shall not exceed 120 ppm(v) dry corrected to 8% oxygen, 140.0 lbs/hr (30-day rolling average), and 613.2 tons/year.
General Requirements:
The Recovery Boiler is subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart BB. When fired with natural gas (annual capacity factor exceeding 10%), the Recovery Boiler is also subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Db. The source shall comply with all applicable requirements of these Subparts. 40 CFR 60.4 requires submission of copies of all requests, reports, applications, submittals and other communications to both the EPA and the Department. The EPA copies shall be forwarded to:
Director, Air, Toxics and Radiation Division, US EPA, Region III, 841 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
The Department will consider any written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Persons may oppose this preliminary determination by filing a written notice with the Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Control Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, Attn: Robert Huston.
Each comment shall include the following:
1. Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comment.
2. Identification of the proposed revision to Plan Approval No. 24-306-003.
3. Concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the revised Plan Approval.
If sufficient public interest is generated, the Department, prior to issuance of the revised plan approval, may in its discretion, hold a public hearing or fact-finding conference, at which time persons may appear and give testimony. If it is decided to hold a public hearing, then a notice to this effect shall be published in the local newspaper giving the place and time of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
All the pertinent documents are also available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Meadville Regional DEP office (Air Quality). Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling Robert Huston at (814) 382-6940.
