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--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 a 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 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 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.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

   Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts, which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   08-303-003C:  Eastern Industries, Inc. (4401 Camp Meeting Road, Suite 200, Center Valley, PA 18034) for modification of a batch mix asphalt concrete plant and associated air cleaning device, a fabric collector, by using reprocessed oil as fuel in the plant's aggregate dryer in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The plant is currently authorized to burn natural gas, propane or no. 2 fuel oil under Operating Permit 08-303-003.

   The information provided by the applicant indicates that the modification to enable the plant to fire reprocessed oil will have the potential to increase the VOC emissions by approximately 1 ton per year. However, since the applicant has requested to voluntarily restrict the plant's annual asphalt production to 361,032 tons, the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions are expected to decrease by approximately 57, 10 and 190 tons, respectively, per year from the levels which could otherwise occur.

   The Department has determined that the proposed modification to the asphalt plant will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. The Department consequently intends to issue plan approval authorizing the asphalt plant to burn reprocessed oil.

   The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:

   1.  The plant shall not be used to produce more than 361,032 tons of asphalt during any 12 consecutive month period.

   2.  The total combined hazardous air pollutants emissions from the plant shall not exceed 1.39 tons per year or 1.15 pounds per hour.

   3.  The reprocessed fuel oil fired in this plant shall not exceed the limitations specified:

Contaminant Limitation
Arsenic 5 ppm
Cadmium 2 ppm
Chromium 10 ppm
Lead 100 ppm
Total halogens 1,000 ppm
PCBs Nondetectable (detection limit no higher than 2 parts per million, volume basis)

   Additionally, the flashpoint of the reprocessed oil shall not be less than 140°F.

   4.  The permittee shall not accept shipment of reprocessed oil for use in the plant for which the arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, total halides and PCB contents and/or flash point are unknown or which fail to meet the aforementioned limitations.

   5.  A sample of each load of reprocessed oil delivered to the plant shall be taken at the time of delivery to the plant using a sampling technique capable of achieving a representative composite sample of the entire load and shall be retained onsite for at least 2 years for random selection and analysis by the Department.

   6.  The applicant shall submit an annual report to the Department listing the delivery date, quantity delivered, source of origin and delivery invoice number of each load of reprocessed oil delivered to the plant during the previous calendar year, as well as identifying the arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, total halides, PCB, sulfur contents and the flash point of each load.
