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 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 any 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 before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS 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 the 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 a 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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 (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety
Approval of Request for VarianceThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BMS) has approved Rosebud Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of Section 290(d) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Keystone East Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BMS website at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default. asp.
Summary of the Request: Rosebud Mining Company requests a variance to reduce the number of main entries in the 1 Left Butt Section at the Keystone East Mine.
The basis for the BMS's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The Keystone East mine variance area will allow short-term access to the 1st Left Butt reserves only. When the coal within this area is depleted the mine will be sealed.
2. Longwall mines have successfully ventilated three entry systems for distances up to 12,000 feet. Longwall gate-road development generally encounters methane liberations far in excess of those shown at the Keystone East Mine.
3. According to a June 28, 2007, air sample collected by MSHA, the Keystone East Mine produces 50,015 CFM of CH4 per 24 hours.
4. The main fan is located 700 feet from the mouth of the 1st Left Butt and can supply as much air as is required to mine the 1st Left Butt area safely.
5. Reducing the number of main entries from four to three reduces the amount of exposed roof within a potentially bad roof area.
6. A CO monitoring system will enhance escapability through the variance area by providing early warning.
Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the enclosed plan and the following conditions.
1. All unused crosscuts through the variance area must have two cribs placed on both entrances in line with the entry rib. Additional supplemental support will be installed throughout the area as required.
2. All roof falls that occur in the variance area must be completely cleaned and permanently supported before resumption of mining.
3. CO sensors should be placed in the primary intake escapeway at the beginning of the variance area. A second sensor should be positioned along the primary intake escapeway at the end of the variance area.
4. The CO system shall provide visual and audible alarms at the tailpiece.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the UNT to the Georges Creek Watershed in Fayette County Greensburg District Mining Office: Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on January 23, 2008, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Greensburg District Mining Office in Greensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the UNT to Georges Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 41381 UNT to Georges Creek 1.1 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) 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. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.
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, sediment and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected throughout 2006.
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 Martin Picklo at (724) 925-5517 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Greensburg District Mining Office, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601. E-mail will be received at mpicklo@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The proposed 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 previous address and must be postmarked by March 19, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. Friday, January 19th. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
