PREAMBLE 1


Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907)

 Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

57-00005B: Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC (P. O. Box 54382, 6100 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City OK 73154) for an application for a plan approval to construct one dehydration unit at their Cherry Compressor Station located in Cherry Township, Sullivan County. The respective facility is a state only facility for which a state only operating permit has not yet been issued.

 The Department's review of the information submitted by Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC indicates that the proposed dehydration unit to be constructed will comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources. Additionally, the Department has determined that the proposed process satisfies best available technology (BAT) requirements, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Pursuant to the requirements of BAT, the dehydration unit including the existing four dehydration units are restricted to not exceed on a combined process basis (i.e. collectively) the following restrictions; 11.5 tpy of VOC emissions; 4.5 tpy of HAP emissions and 16,125 tpy of GHG emissions, expressed as CO2e. To demonstrate compliance with these limitations, the facility will be required to conduct monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting on certain process' parameters (e.g. throughput of tri-ethylene glycol). In addition, the facility will sample the inlet gas to the station to assure that it is representative of the gas analysis information submitted in the application. In addition to the requirement for the dehydration processes, the Department incorporated monitoring and work practice standards to minimize the GHG emissions from the Cherry Compressor Station to the maximum extent in accordance the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.

 Based on the findings above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval with annual emission restrictions for the dehydration processes at the Cherry Compressor Station as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to verify compliance with the annual emission restrictions. All existing requirements specified in Plan Approval 57-00005A remain in effect and valid.

 In addition to the emission limitations above, the following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in Plan Approval 57-00005B to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.

 Perform Audio, Visual and Olfactory (AVO) Inspections on a monthly basis

 Perform Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera inspections on a quarterly basis

 Operate the dehydration processes using electric TEG recirculation pump

 Operate the dehydration process using the Kimray gas pump no more than 10,000 hours per year on a combined process basis

 Calculate and record the actual average benzene emissions (in terms of benzene emissions per year) as determined in accordance with § 63.772(b)(2).

 Monitor VOC emissions using GRI-GLYCalc computer software

 Record of actual throughput per day and the glycol circulation rate

 Record of the fuel throughput of the reboiler on a monthly basis

 Record the hours of operation for each occurrence of Kimray gas pump operation to verify compliance with the annual hours of operation restriction

 The air contaminate emissions from all dehydration processes at the Cherry compressor station will be restricted to the following annual 12 consecutive month limitations; 11.5 tpy for VOC, 4.5 tpy for HAP and 16,125 tpy GHG emissions expressed as CO2e. Compliance requirements for these annual restrictions include monthly recordkeeping of emissions from each dehydration process at the station and monitoring the gas composition of the gas at the inlet to the Cherry Compressor Station.

 All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-0550.

 Any person(s) wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this plan approval, may submit the information to the Department of Environmental Protection at the address shown in the preceding paragraph. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed plan approval (Plan Approval No. 57-00005B) and concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the plan approval.

 A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department of Environmental Protection determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Muhammad Q.
