AIR QUALITY INTENT TO ISSUE PLAN APPROVALS AND OPERATING PERMITS 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 and intends to issue plan approvals and/or operating permits to the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Title V permit to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the persons submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The comments should also include a concise statement of any objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. If a hearing is scheduled, notice will be provided to each applicant, protestant, or other participants in writing or by publication in a newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin, except where the Department determines that notification by telephone will be sufficient. Notice will also be provided to anyone who requests in writing to be notified concerning the scheduling of a hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

PPL Holtwood, LCC, Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101. Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 487), on Lake Wallenpaupack, in Hawley Borough, Wayne and Pike Counties, ACOE Philadelphia District (Hawley Quadrangle N: 16.25 inches; W: 0.75 inch) (discharge), source water (Lake Wallenpaupack) is approximately 3.5 miles up-stream.
Project Description: PPL Holtwood, LCC has requested a Section 401 State Water Quality Certification for the operation of the Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project near Hawley Borough in Wayne and Pike Counties. The project is used primarily to meet the peak demands within PA-NJ-MD Interconnection, with limitations on generation set by both natural inflows to the lake and seasonal recreational demands. The project operates on an annual storage basis, which is achieved through the use of seasonal ''target'' lake elevations that are at times specifically constraints by the license terms and conditions. With both generator units, a total outflow ranging up to 1,800 cfs were typically started and shut down simultaneously and were operated at a relatively fixed generation level over the course of the day. PPL Holtwood, LCC expects to continue to operate the project under its current peaking mode of operation, to continue to provide ancillary power services as previous and to continue to operate for recreational, environmental, drought and flood control needs with certain modifications and enhancements: implementation of a new monthly lake elevation target schedule during normal nondrought periods; implementation of a revised drought operation plan; implementation of a deferred trout temperature regulation program for the Lackawaxen River (from river mile 4 through 10 not to exceed a maximum of 77°F); implementation of restricted weekend generation during the spring trout seasons; implementing operation and testing of recently installed turbine draft tube aeration system for downstream dissolved oxygen; curbing the range of area regulation operations during 6 summer weekdays to enhance weekday whitewater boating opportunities; and scheduling of two weekend whitewater boating flow releases.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Prompt Interim Response Superior Cleaners Site, Trafford,
Westmoreland CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Superior Cleaners Site (Site), 215 Cavitt Avenue, Trafford, Westmoreland County. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site includes two buildings that are abandoned and have been unused for approximately 20 months.
Superior Cleaners operated as a dry cleaning facility; the owners of the facility are deceased. When business operations ceased, the contents of the buildings were abandoned, leaving hazardous substances and hazardous waste on the Site. The buildings were not secure and the Site is in a residential area with the nearest residence less than 100 feet away. Old, potentially leaking, underground storage tanks also remained on the property that contained hazardous substances. Soil contaminated from the leaking of previously removed underground storage tanks was also found on the site.
Because Site conditions presented a direct contact and inhalation threat to the public as well as a risk of explosion and fire, response action could not be delayed and a prompt interim response was initiated to address the threats. The scope of the response action included evaluation and proper containment of the hazardous substances and disposal of these substances off-Site.
The following alternatives were analyzed:
Alternative 1. No action--This alternative would require no action by the Department at this time. Hazardous substances and waste would remain on Site and the threat would remain.
Alternative 2. Characterization, removal and disposal--Under this alternative, chemicals, solvents and waste found at the Site are sampled and characterized for appropriate off-Site disposal and/or recycling/reuse. Leaking containers are over-packed and removed off-Site for proper handling. Underground storage tanks are removed and the contents properly characterized and removed off-Site for disposal. Contaminated soil encountered during excavation of storage tanks or contaminated soil remaining from tanks previously removed are excavated and disposed of off-Site.
The Department has determined that Alternative 2 is the most appropriate response to address the threats associated with this Site. This alternative is more protective of human health and the environment than Alternative 1 and is cost effective. The Department mobilized its contractor on August 19, 2002, and has characterized and containerized the hazardous substances and waste abandoned on the Site. The old underground storage tanks have been removed, their contents characterized, containerized and disposed of off-Site. Soil contaminated from leaking underground storage tanks has been excavated and removed. The remaining containerized hazardous substances will be removed from the Site for disposal once approval is received from the disposal facility.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Regional Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA and is available for review Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from January 11, 2003, until April, 11, 2003. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending or delivering them to Terry Goodwald, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Criterion Parameter value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/Dissolved Aluminum 0.1 of the 96 hour LC 50 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 0.3 Total Recoverable Dissolved Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th and to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. The allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations which 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 data set 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 over the past 10 years.
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 Barbara Hajel, Licensed Professional Geologist, Knox District Mining Office, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232, (814) 797-1191, bhajel@state.pa.us. Directions to the Jennings Environmental Education Center meeting place can also be obtained by contacting this address. The TMDL can be accessed through the Department website (http://www.dep.state.pa.us) by typing ''TMDL'' in the direct link field and by clicking ''GO.''
Persons with a disability who wish to attend this meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should call (814) 797-1191 and ask for the ADA Coordinator to discuss how their needs may be best accommodated. If needed, individuals may use the AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) and request that the call be relayed to the ADA Coordinator at (814) 797-1191.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by March 12, 2003. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 4 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
