Line/Type of
Acid UsedQuantity of
Tanks (Stages)Quantity of
Wet ScrubbersHydrochloric Acid
(''HCl'')10 1 Nitric Acid
(''HNO3'')20 2 The project serves to expand the current wet operations at the facility, which were previously exempted from Plan Approval and Operating Permit requirements under Request for Determination of Changes of Minor Significance and Exemption from Plan Approval/Operating Permit (''RFD'') No. 2895, by increasing the quantity and capacities of process tanks (and consequently, production) for, and the strength of the acids used in, the lines.
The (pre-control) potential emission rates of HCl (a hazardous air pollutant (''HAP'')) and HNO3 from the lines are approximately 4.3 tons/yr and 6.3 tons/yr, respectively. Packed tower wet scrubbers will be installed, with a vendor's guarantee to achieve a minimum acid gas removal efficiency of 99%, to reduce the acid gas emissions from the facility. Nitric oxide (''NO'') and nitrogen dioxide (''NO2'') are also emitted from the HNO3 line, and the second associated scrubber will also achieve some NO2 control.
The Plan Approval will include emission concentration restrictions for HCl, HNO3, NO, and NO2 of 0.1 ppmv, 0.1 ppmv, 3.0 ppmv, and 7.0 ppmv, respectively. The Department reserves the right to review these restrictions based on the results of stack testing required under the Plan Approval.
The Plan Approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

For the Wentlings Corner sewer extension within Beaver Township, the plan proposes the installation of 21,000 feet of low pressure sewer main to connect an initial 90 EDUs with grinder pumps. Knox Borough Council will remain the owner and operator of the Knox Borough sewage system. Beaver Township formed the Beaver Township Sewage Authority to design, construct and operate their portion of the project. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Interim Response
Reading Industrial Scrap, Inc. Site
Reading City/Muhlenberg Township, Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) has initiated an interim response at Reading Industrial Scrap, Inc. (RISCO). This response will be initiated pursuant to Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The RISCO Site is located off Route 61 along Berks Street in the City of Reading and Muhlenberg Township, Berks County. The address of the property is listed as 2001 Centre Avenue, Reading, PA 19605. The RISCO Site can be found on the United States Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) Elverson Pennsylvania quadrangle map at north 40° 22` 6.3" latitude and west 75° 55` 48.3" longitude. The RISCO Site is located in an industrialized area. The current disposal area covers approximately 3 acres.
Several area major roadways frame the RISCO Site, including Route 61 to the west and Route 222 to the north. A set of railroad tracks lies along the eastern perimeter, a commercial building along the western perimeter, an industrial building along the southern perimeter and a large excavated pit is located inside the northern perimeter of the site.
In the summer of 2004 an initial response by the Department was deemed appropriate to secure the site to prevent direct contact health threats to the public, and promote public safety by preventing unrestricted access to the site. An eight-foot high chain link security fence was constructed around the perimeter of the site and approximately 2,000 tons of contaminated soils and 50 cubic yards of crushed drummed waste containing PCBs were removed and disposed off-site at a permitted waste disposal facility.
In spring 2008, a total of 12 soil borings from a depth of 4` to 40` below ground surface (BGS) were completed on site. In suspected areas of contamination, a total of 13 test pits were excavated from 7` to 25` BGS. An X-ray fluorescence instrument (XRF) was utilized to screen suspect soils and appropriate samples were then collected. The sample results showed that lead and chromium levels had exceeded regulatory standards for non-residential soils, 0—2` deep and iron levels had exceeded regulatory standards for non-residential soils, 2—12` deep. A composite soil sample collected for TCLP purposes showed that the sample did not leach lead from the sample. Site groundwater sampling was also conducted at four monitoring wells and no significant contamination was detected.
Lead and chromium are hazardous wastes as defined under the Solid Waste Management Act, July 7, 1980 (P. L. 380, No. 97, as amended), 35 P. S. §§ 6018.101 et seq., and a hazardous substance as defined under Section 103 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of 1988, (P. L. 756, No. 108), 35 P. S. § 6020.101 et seq. Lead is an inorganic compound that is listed as a probable carcinogen. Lead is toxic by ingestion and inhalation and chronic cumulative effects of lead are exhibited in the body's nervous system.
The Department proposes an interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based upon the following conditions that exist at the Site: (a) The actual or potential exposure via inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact to hazardous substances; and (b) Public safety issues relative to an open excavation approximately 30 feet in depth.
This response action is not a final remedial response pursuant to Section 504 of HSCA and therefore is not required to meet the cleanup standards that apply to final responses.
The Department will relocate and consolidate all surface-based (0—2 feet) contaminated waste and media in excess of regulatory standards, place the waste in the pit located in the northeastern corner of the site and then cover the waste with two feet of clean fill. Stockpiled soil piles presently located on site may be utilized as clean fill in the bottom and over the top of the pit if sampling determines that the soils meet regulatory standards. The pit will be filled with clean fill and then graded. This will remove the threat for ingestion and inhalation of the lead contamination and therefore be protective of human health as long as the soil cover is maintained. A maintenance plan will be required to provide for inspecting and replacing the soil cover. This will meet a site specific standard of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act. An Environmental Covenant will be placed on the property to restrict future activities and will include both institutional and engineering controls.
This action will comply with all Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is protective of human health and safety, and the environment. The estimated cost of implementing this alternative is $57,000. The Department has selected this action because it is protective, cost effective and meets regulatory requirements.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. Sections 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b), and the publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting David Hrobuchak at 717-705-4843. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office located at 1050 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on September 7, 2013, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before December 6, 2013, by mailing them to Mr. Hrobuchak at the DEP Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for October 8, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. at the Department's Reading District Office located at 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing should register before 4:00 p.m., October 7, 2013 by contacting Mr. Hrobuchak.
