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.

The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

The sources in this plan approval are located at an existing Title V facility. These units will be used to provide back-up electrical power to the various buildings during utility power outages/fluctuations and/or electrical infrastructure maintenance. These units may also be used for peak shaving, thereby classifying them as non-emergency RICE Units subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ and 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ. The facility is applying to operate each engine a maximum of 500 hours in any 12 consecutive month period. The aggregate potential annualized emissions (in tons) are as follows: NOx—1.10, VOC—0.55, CO—0.55, SOx—0.004, PM—0.0006, PM10—0.07, and PM2.5—0.07. This project will not trigger applicability to the federal PSD regulations or PADEP's NSR regulations. The plan approval will include monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
46-0100: Saint-Gobain Abrasives Inc. (200 Commerce Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936) for a wider abrasives surface coating line and associated increases in allowable emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to accommodate the wider line and expected market increases. One of three surface coating lines at the facility will be widened to allow processing of a 25 inch product rather than the current 19 inch product. VOC emission limits for the widened line and another surface coating line producing similar products at the facility are combined, where previously emissions were specified by line and operation. Allowable VOC emissions for the combined source are increased from 3.28 tons/year to 7.9 tons/year on a 12-month rolling basis and from 1.75 lb/hour to 4.23 lbs/hr on a 24 hour average basis. VOC emissions will continue to be controlled by a regenerative thermal oxidizer having 95% VOC destruction efficiency, which is Best Available Technology (BAT). The destruction efficiency will be confirmed through stack testing. The facility will continue to comply with the applicable requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.52b, to which it is subject, as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice conditions as specified in the facility's Operating Permit for the surface coating operations.

The facility has the following potential air emissions: 3.3 tons per year of CO, 1.0 ton per year of NOx, 2.3 tons per year of PM, 0.8 ton per year of SOx, and 1.0 ton per year of VOC. The facility is a State Only facility. DEP's review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the air contamination sources as constructed or modified will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The plan approval and subsequent State-Only operating permit will include emission restrictions, work practice standards, and testing, monitoring, record keeping, and reporting requirements to ensure the facility complies with the applicable air quality regulations. Based on these findings, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If, after the project has been implemented, the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for plan approval, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into an Operating Permit pursuant to the provisions of 25 Pa. Chapter 127.
