Preamble 1
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, 303, 304 and 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 any 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 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, or 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)(l)(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 as 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's Regional Office under 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 listed.

d. The flare shall be operated with a flame present at all times. The flare shall be equipped with an automatic shutoff mechanism designed to immediately stop the flow of gases when a flameout occurs. During restart or startup there shall be sufficient flow of auxiliary fuel to the burner such that unburned landfill gases are not emitted to the atmosphere.
e. The flare flue gas temperature shall be continuously measured and recorded at any time the flare is being used to combust landfill gas. These records shall be maintained on site for at least 5 years.
f. The flare shall be designed for and operated with no visible emissions except for periods not to exceed 5 minutes during any 2 consecutive hours and the opacity during these periods shall never exceed 10%.
g. The flare shall maintain a volatile organic compound destruction efficiency of at least 98% during all times it is being used to control landfill gas emissions.
8. Under the best available technology provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the landfill operator shall comply with the following operating, monitoring and recordkeeping requirements:
a. The operator shall record the date of initial waste deposition within each of the disposal cells located in Area 2. These records shall be maintained onsite for the life of the landfill.
b. Within 90 days of initial waste deposition within a disposal cell, perimeter gas monitoring wells shall be installed as described in the application and supplemental materials submitted for plan approval. These wells shall be monitored at least quarterly using a portable analyzer capable of detecting landfill gas. Records of all such monitoring shall be maintained onsite for at least 5 years.
c. Once a disposal cell has been capped, the landfill operator shall conduct surface monitoring of the cell on at least a quarterly basis utilizing a portable analyzer capable of detecting at least 500 ppmv (as methane) of landfill gas. Records of all such monitoring shall be maintained onsite for at least 5 years.
d. Should the results of the perimeter well monitoring indicate offsite migration of landfill gas or should the results of the surface monitoring ever indicate landfill gas emissions in excess of 500 ppmv (as methane), the landfill operator shall within 90 days of discovery of either occurrence install gas collection wells at the respective disposal cell and begin the active collection and flaring of the landfill gas.
e. Regardless of the results of the monitoring required in conditions 8b and 8c herein, the landfill operator shall begin the active collection and flaring of landfill gas from a disposal cell no later than 2 years of the date of initial waste deposition within the respective cell unless the landfill operator can successfully demonstrate to the Department's satisfaction that the active collection and flaring of landfill gas is not yet warranted.
9. Once the active collection and flaring of landfill gas has been initiated within a residual waste disposal cell, the landfill operator shall comply with the following operational procedures:
a. Each gas collection wellhead shall be monitored on at least a monthly basis for: pressure, temperature and oxygen content. The results of all such monitoring shall be recorded and maintained onsite for at least 5 years.
b. Should the results of the monitoring ever show positive pressure, an excessively high temperature or an excessively high oxygen content, the landfill operator shall take whatever steps are necessary to bring the wellhead parameters to within acceptable levels.
c. The landfill operator shall routinely inspect the landfill gas collection system to ensure that no leaks are occurring from the system. Any such leaks shall be immediately repaired.
