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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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 the cleanup standards identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted and approved by the Department and 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 the sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified, a municipality 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 a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact Steve Curcio at (814) 332-6816. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor 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. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared 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.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's 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 to the date of the 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.

Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds; Public Hearing
Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Koppers Industries, Inc. in Clinton Township, Lycoming County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a cogeneration and railroad crosstie treatment facility owned and operated by Koppers Industries, Inc. in Clinton Township, Lycoming County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for this facility:
Source Nitrogen Oxides Emission Limits Wellons creosoted woodwaste-fired boiler 160 ppmv corrected to 7% oxygen, dry basis (24-hour average) and

[Continued from previous Web Page] SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Location--Conewago Township, Dauphin County, 3279 Old Hershey Rd., Elizabethtown, PA 17022.
Approved plan provides for public sewer service to Laurel Woods area (0--5 yr.) and Rte. 743 corridor (5--10 yr.) of the Township. Transportation and treatment is through Derry Township Municipal Authority facilities. An onlot disposal system program will be enacted for the remainder of the Township with adoption of an OLDS Management Ordinance and Holding Tank Ordinance. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Northcentral Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-0530.
Location: City of Williamsport, Lycoming County. An Act 537 update revision for the City of Williamsport has been approved by the Department. The plan calls for construction of an upgrade/expansion of the Williamsport Sanitary Authority's West Treatment Plant. The 7.8 million dollar project will increase the annual average design flow to 3.92 mgd and the maximum monthly average design flow to 5.55 mgd. Discharge of the treated effluent will continue to be to the West Branch Susquehanna River.
The project will provide treatment capacity for future sewer extensions in several neighboring municipalities. It will also provide capacity for additional commercial and industrial development in the city. The ability of the expanded treatment facility to process peak wet weather flows will allow the city to minimize or eliminate the use of combined sewer overflow discharges of untreated sewage from the combined wastewater collection system which is tributary to this facility.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 4
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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 Act 2 (Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act) remediation standards. Plans and reports required by provisions of Act 2 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 reuse 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
