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.

41-318-049: Williamsport Steel Container Co., Inc. (360 Arch Street, Williamsport, PA 17701) for construction of a metal drum surface coating operation and a stamping lubricant flash off oven in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The metal drum surface coating operation consists of two spray booths (lining spray machine booth and dry filter touch-up booth) and an associated curing oven. The flash off oven is used to drive stamping lubricants off of metal drum parts. The two paint booths, curing oven and flash off oven actually already exist onsite. The air contaminant emissions from this surface coating operation and flash off oven are not expected to exceed a combined total of 10.81 tons of VOCs, .76 ton of volatile hazardous air pollutants, 1.31 tons of acetone, 2.46 tons of NOx, 2.07 tons of CO and negligible amounts of particulate matter and SOx.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Williamsport Steel Container Company, Inc. indicates that the surface coating operation and flash off oven will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the applicable VOC limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52 and the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the surface coating operation and flash off oven.
The following is a summary of the conditions proposed to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Only those coatings, coating additives, stamping lubricants and cleanup solvents identified in the application and supplemental materials submitted for plan approval (or alternate materials determined by the Department to have an equivalent air contaminant emission potential) shall be used in the surface coating operation and the punching process associated with the flash off oven.
2. No more than a combined total of 3,807 gallons of coatings and coating additives shall be used in the surface coating operation in any 12-consecutive month period, of which no more than 3,273 gallons shall have a VOC content in excess of 1.0 pound per gallon, no more than 3,209 gallons shall have a VOC content in excess of 2.0 pounds per gallon, no more than 3,173 gallons shall have a VOC content in excess of 3.0 pounds per gallon and none shall have a VOC content in excess of 4.3 pounds per gallon. Additionally, no more than 3,015 gallons shall contain volatile hazardous air pollutants, no more than 634 gallons shall have a volatile hazardous air pollutant content in excess of 1.0 pound per gallon and none shall have a volatile hazardous air pollutant content in excess of 1.8 pounds per gallon.
3. No more than a combined total of 800 gallons of acetone and VOC containing solvent shall be used in any 12-consecutive month period for cleanup activities associated with the surface coating operation and the flash off oven, of which no more than 400 gallons in any 12-consecutive month period shall be VOC containing solvent. Volatile hazardous air pollutant containing solvent shall not be used for cleanup activities.
4. Solvent B-27 and Drawsol 100 (or alternate materials determined by the Department to have an equivalent air contaminant emission potential) shall be the only stamping lubricants used in the punching process associated with the flash off oven. Additionally, no more than 694 gallons of Solvent B-27 (or alternate material determined by the Department to have an equivalent air contaminant emission potential) shall be used in any 12-consecutive month period and Drawsol 100 shall be removed with wiping rags from all metal parts prior to the parts entry into the flash off oven.
5. The total combined emission of VOCs from the surface coating operation and the flash off oven shall not exceed 9.17 tons in any 12-consecutive month period excluding any volatile organic compound emissions resulting from the use of cleanup solvents and any volatile organic compound emissions created from the combustion of natural gas in the curing and flash off ovens.
6. The total combined emission of volatile hazardous air pollutants from the surface coating operation and flash off oven shall not exceed .76 ton in any 12-consecutive month period.
7. The total combined VOC emissions from cleanup activities associated with the surface coating operation and flash off oven shall not exceed 1.5 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and there shall be no volatile hazardous air pollutant emissions.
8. Coatings applied in the surface coating operation shall comply with 25 Pa. Code § 129.52.
9. Coatings applied in the surface coating operation shall be applied by airless, air-assisted airless or high volume low pressure spray or by brush or by wiping cloth.
10. The two paint booths shall be equipped with spray booth filters and the resultant particulate matter emission rate shall not exceed .01 grain per dry standard cubic foot of effluent exhaust.
11. Containers of coatings, coating additives, stamping lubricants and cleanup solvents shall be closed when not in actual use. Spray lines, guns, and the like, shall be cleaned by either flushing a solid liquid stream of solvent into a container or by soaking equipment in closed containers.

Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Glendon Borough 24 Franklin Street
Glendon, PA 18042Northampton Plan Description: The Plan proposes construction of new sanitary sewer systems to service approximately 45 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) in Sewage District I and 75 EDUs in Sewage District IIIA as depicted on Figure 14 in the Plan, and implementation of an Onlot Sewage Management Program for the residential area of Sewage District IV. The sewage from Glendon Borough will be conveyed to the City of Easton's existing sewer system for treatment at Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority's existing treatment facility.
The Department's review has found that the Plan is acceptable, except for the proposed alternative for Sewage District IIIA. Except for Sewage District IIIA, the submission is consistent with the planning requirements given in Chapter 71 of the Department's rules and regulations and the Department hereby grants planning approval.
With regard to the proposed alternative for Sewage District IIIA, the Department's review has found that the Plan fails to provide funding methods available to finance all aspects of the proposed alternative, including establishment of the financial alternative of choice and a contingency financial plan to be used if the preferred method of financing is not able to be implemented; and it fails to provide the municipal commitments necessary to implement the proposed alternative. Therefore, the Department must disapprove the Plan with regard to Sewage District IIIA.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
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.

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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
