HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Lewis Run Municipal Well Site, Lewis Run Borough, Mckean County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.101--6020.1305), notice is provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with the McCourt Label Cabinet Company (McCourt), concerning the resolution of McCourt's liability for the Lewis Run Municipal Well Site (Site). The Site is located on 7 contiguous parcels of land in Lewis Run Borough, McKean County, PA where the groundwater has become contaminated by the VOCs Tetrachloro- ethylene, Trichloroethylene and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (collectively, Site VOCs).
In the past, wastes, wastewaters or other materials containing Site VOCs were spilled, leaked, discharged or otherwise released at the Site and these Site VOCs contaminated the soil and groundwater at the Site. All Site VOCs are defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103) as ''hazardous substances.'' The Department has already incurred approximately $750,000 in response costs and expects to incur an additional $3 million to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site. McCourt is a ''responsible person'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA. Under the terms of the Agreement, McCourt shall pay the Department $100,000 over a 20-year period plus 2% of its annual net profit between the years 2014 and 2023 to resolve its liability at the Site. In addition, McCourt is required to implement an Environmental Management System at its Lewis Run facility
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between McCourt and the Department. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.
After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with McCourt shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies McCourt, in writing, that the Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement or that no such comments were received.
The Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Kammy M. Halterman, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Kammy M. Halterman at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports 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.

Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Beaverdam Branch Watershed in Blair County. Cambria District Mining Office: 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on January 12, 2005, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Four stream segments in the Beaverdam Branch Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to metals from AMD. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 16317 (6561) Beaverdam Branch 2.3 16389 (6563) Sugar Run 6.3 16416 (6565) Burgoon Run 3.0 16428 (2118) Glenwhite Run 3.2 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept iron, aluminum, manganese, and acidity and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum 0.75
Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00
Total Recoverable PH 6.0--9.0
NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. The Beaverdam Branch Watershed was mined for coal throughout the nineteenth century. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected throughout 2000.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Tim Kania, Cambria Office DEP, 286 Industrial Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931, (814) 472-1900. E-mail will be received at tkania@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previously listed address and must be postmarked by March 2, 2005. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. on January 7, 2005. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
