LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
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.

545 Broad Street Extended
Delta, PA 17314York County Plan Description: A3-67950-181-2, The Woods at Slate Ridge: The Official Plan revision consists of a five lot single-family residential subdivision on 24.4 acres with total proposed sewage flows of 2,000 gpd to be treated by individual onlot disposal system. The proposed development is located on the northwestern side of Quarry Road and the Pennsylvania/Maryland state line Peach Bottom Township, York County. The proposed plan revision was disapproved because the hydrogeologic study contained in the planning information received by the Department of Environmental Protection and required by Chapter 71, § 71.62(c), contained information that the groundwater will be polluted on a portion of the property and the onsite sewage systems proposed for a portion of this subdivision will pollute the Waters of the Commonwealth in violation of The Clean Streams Law. Such a condition is considered a nuisance and is prohibited. Specifically, all proposed lots must be individually sized to dilute the nitrates originating from each lot's system. This proposal included two lots that are too small to attenuate the nitrate-nitrogen being produced by the systems on these lots.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Notice of Prompt Interim Response Everglade Junkyard--Barn Related Contamination Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Everglade Junkyard--Barn. 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 Everglade Junkyard property is located on Everglade Road about 1 mile south of Route 30 in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County. From the late 1940s and continuing into the 1980s the property was used as a transfer station for ferrous, nonferrous and alloy scrap (especially grindings) collected from different facilities for eventual transfer elsewhere for reuse, recycling, disposal and/or treatment. A barn located on the eastern edge of property appears to have been used in the scrap processing operation. Results of samples taken of the ash, soil and debris located in the barn indicate contamination above the Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act for PCBs, dioxin, mercury, lead and other metals. The barn is in poor structural condition and there is a concern that its collapse would result in contamination becoming exposed to the elements thereby increasing the threat to human health and the environment.
The objective and scope of the prompt interim response is demolition and cleanup of contamination related to the barn. All contaminated material, including the barn wood, will be properly handled and disposed. Contaminated soil immediately surrounding the barn will be excavated and properly disposed. If needed, clean soil will be used to cover any depressions that remain as a result of the demolition work.
The following alternatives were evaluated: (1) no action; (2) maintain existing fence around barn; and (3) demolish barn and dispose of contaminated material. The selected alternative is number three. This alternative was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements to the greatest extent compare to the other alternatives and is the most cost effective.
This notice is being provided under Section 506(b) of 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 Pittsburgh Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Contact Dawn Saunders at (412) 442-4000 to schedule a review of this record.
The administrative record will be open for comment from January 19, 2008, until April 17, 2008. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Dawna Saunders at the Department's Pittsburgh Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on March 3, 2008, at the Hempfield Township Municipal Building, 1132 Woodward Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601 at 6:30 p.m. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Helen Humphreys by noon on March 3, 2008, at (412) 442-4000 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Helen Humphreys at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT & T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
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.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. 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.

Bureau of Mine Safety; Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Mine Safety (Bureau), has received a request for variance from Penn View Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn, (724) 439-7469 or from the BMS website at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to: Joseph A. Sbaffoni, Director, Bureau of Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) (53 P. S. § 701-101--701-706), provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 242(c) states that where belt conveyors are installed, main stoppings and regulators shall be so arranged as to reduce the quantity of air traveling in the belt conveyor entry to a minimum for effective ventilation and to provide an intake air split as an escapeway from the face are to the main air current.
Summary of the Request: Penn View Mining requests a variance to use point CO early warning fire detection system and entries in common with the belt conveyor entry at the TJS No. 6 Mine.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Brush Run Watershed in
Beaver CountyGreensburg District Mining Office: Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on February 6, 2008, beginning at 10:30 a.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 Brush Run 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 33337 Brush Run 7.35 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 (Brush Run is designated as a high quality water):
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.0783 Total Recoverable Iron 0.247 Total Recoverable Manganese 0.0289 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 Michael Gardner at (724) 925-5522 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 mgardner@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, February 1. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
