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 after 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.

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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Proposed Consent Decree Quaker City Gear Site, Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery 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 entered into a Consent Decree with the Mermelstein Family Trust (Trust), to resolve the litigation captioned and docketed as Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection v. David Mermelstein, Trustee for the Mermelstein Family Trust, No. 46 M. D. 2002, presently pending before the Commonwealth Court. The Trust shall reimburse certain Department response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Quaker City Gear Site (Site), 351 Red Lion Road, Huntingdon Valley, Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County. The Trust is the present owner of the Site. Quaker City Gear Works Corporation abandoned the property after conducting metal workings and gear manufacturing on the Site. The Department has performed response actions including an environmental assessment and field investigation of the Site, the characterization of abandoned drums of liquid hazardous substances on the Site and the removal and lawful disposal of these drums at a permitted facility.
The Trust wishes to sell the Site and settle its response cost liability. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claims against the Trust. Therefore, the Trust has agreed to reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $80,000 and shall receive contribution protection from claims related to its ownership of the property.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), which states that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Decree, which contains the specific terms of the agreement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, contact David Ewald, (610) 832-6200, dewald@state.pa.us or Gina M. Thomas, Esq., (610) 832-6300, githomas@state.pa.us. A public comment period for the Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from the date of publication. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from the date of publication by submitting them to David Ewald at the previous address.
Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response 1. Background
The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) was enacted in 1988 to provide for the cleanup of Commonwealth sites that are releasing or threatening the release of hazardous substances. Section 502(a) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.502) requires that the Department publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a priority list of sites with releases or threatened releases for the purpose of taking remedial response. This list is called the Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response (PAPL). The Department places sites on the PAPL when the Department has determined through investigation that there are releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or releases or substantial threatened releases of contaminants, which present a substantial threat to the public health, safety and environment. In accordance with section 502(a) of the HSCA, the Hazard Ranking System (HRS) (40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A), established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), is utilized to rank the sites for placement on the PAPL. The HRS uses mathematical formulas that reflect the relative importance and interrelationships of the various human health and environmental factors to arrive at a final score on a scale of 0 to 100. The values are assigned using information obtained from site investigations. Section 502(a) of the HSCA also directs the Department to consider its administrative, enforcement and financial capabilities when placing sites on the PAPL. HRS scores are finalized by the Department using the HRS in effect at the time the score is prepared and the proposed listing notice is issued under the statute.
The HRS was developed by the EPA as the method used to evaluate the relative potential of hazardous substance releases to cause health or safety problems, ecological or environmental damage. It is the principal mechanism for placing a site on the National Priorities List, the list of priority releases for long-term remedial evaluation and response under CERCLA. The HRS is calculated by utilizing known information to establish the level of threat presented in four potential pathways of human or environmental exposure: groundwater, surface water, air and soil exposure. Within each pathway of exposure, the HRS considers three categories of factors:
(1) Factors that indicate the presence or likelihood of a release to the environment.
(2) Factors that indicate the nature and quantity of the substances presenting the potential threat.
(3) Factors that indicate the human or environmental targets potentially at risk from the site.
The resultant HRS score represents an estimate of the relative probability and magnitude of harm to human populations or sensitive environments from potential exposure to hazardous substances by the groundwater, surface water, soil exposure or air pathways.
2. Summary and Purpose
Placement of a site on the PAPL is used to identify sites that need further study and/or remedial response decisions to address threats to the public health, safety or the environment. The Department will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take enforcement or other actions under the HSCA or other authorities and/or to proceed directly with HSCA-funded remedial response actions and seek cost recovery after the cleanup.
Remedial response actions will not necessarily be taken in the same order as a site's ranking on the PAPL. The investigation conducted to place a site on the PAPL may not be sufficient to determine either the extent of contamination or the appropriate response actions for a site. The Department may undertake further site investigation and/or an analysis of remedial alternatives to determine appropriate response actions. The length of time needed to complete these studies will vary due to the complexity of a site. Response action decisions and implementation will proceed on individual sites regardless of the progress at other sites. Given the limited resources available in the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, the Department must carefully balance the relative needs for response at the sites it has studied. The Department may decide not to immediately proceed with a HSCA remedial action or that no remedial action is necessary.
3. Technical Evaluation Grants under the HSCA
Under section 510 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.510), the Department may make available a reasonable sum as a grant to the governing body of the host municipality of a site where the Department is considering a remedial response. The host municipality shall use this sum solely to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the proposed remedial response. The grant shall not exceed $50,000. Information and a technical evaluation grant package may be obtained from the Department regional office in which the site is located. Refer to the Additional Information section of this notice.
A municipality will be sent grant information by the Department after a listing announcement has been published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The grant will be signed; however, the grant will not be effective until the proposed remedial response is available for public review. At that time, the municipality may proceed with the review of the Department's proposed remedial response.
A. Effective Date
The following site is being placed on the PAPL effective upon publication of this Pennsylvania Bulletin.
B. Contact Persons
Individual site information may be obtained by contacting the Department's regional office in which the site is located. The regional office's address is in the Additional Information section of this notice.
C. Statutory Authority
The PAPL is published under the authority of section 502(a) of the HSCA. Under section 502(b) of the HSCA, a decision to place a site on the PAPL or to remove a site from the PAPL is not a final action subject to review under 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law) or section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), nor shall it confer a right or duty upon the Department or any person.
D. Review and Public Comment
The HSCA provides for a 30-day public comment period subsequent to publication of the PAPL. This notice opens the 30-day comment period for the sites being added with this publication. Written comments should be mailed to April Flipse, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Region, 555 North Lane, Lee Park, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428.
The regional office site files contain all information considered by the Department in placing a site on the PAPL. Files are available for review in the appropriate regional Field Operations Office, by appointment only, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding State holidays. Contact the regional Environmental Cleanup Program Manager, whose address can be found in the Additional Information section of this notice. The Department considers all written comments received during the formal comment period. All written comments and the Department's responses will be placed into the site file and will later be incorporated into the Administrative Record.

The Chem Fab Site (Site), 300 North Broad Street, Doylestown Borough, Bucks County is an approximately 1-acre parcel currently owned by 300 North Broad Street, Ltd., a fictitious name of Heywood Becker, and is situated several blocks west of the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown Borough, as well as an associated plume of contaminated groundwater that extends into Doylestown Township. The surrounding properties are light industrial, commercial and residential.
Chem Fab, Inc., a subsidiary of Harvey Radio Company, Inc. from 1969 to approximately 1977, operated an electroplating and metal etching facility at the Site from 1965 to approximately 1986. Wastes generated included ferric chloride, mineral spirits, chromic acid rinse water and sludge, chromic acid, sulfuric acid, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene.
The EPA conducted a drum removal action at the Site in 1995 and then placed it on the No Further Remedial Action Planned list. Subsequent to these EPA actions, the Department has conducted a site investigation in two phases and generated a Site Characterization Report in July 2000, a Phase II Site Characterization Report in November 2002, a Site Characterization Report Addendum in January 2003 and an Engineering Evaluation Report in May 2003.
These Department investigations have identified several areas, both on the current 300 N. Broad Street property and on a former part of the Chem Fab property now owned by Extra Space, Inc., which have soil contamination above Statewide health standards. Contaminants in soils are impacting surface water. In addition, there is an extensive groundwater plume beneath both properties and other neighboring properties. The plume is migrating towards Doylestown Borough's Public Water Production Well No. 13. The primary contaminants of concern include trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, their degradation products and chromium, mostly in hexavalent form. The groundwater in several monitoring wells at the Site is literally yellow due to extremely high concentrations of chromium. While groundwater pH varies, several sampling events have generated purge water that was D002 hazardous for corrosivity.

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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Certified Emission Reduction Credits in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of NOx, VOCs and the following criteria pollutants: CO, lead, SOx, PM, PM10 and PM10 precursors.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC registry applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC registry are currently available for use as follows:
(1) To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements.
(2) To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities.
(3) To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.
The following certified ERCs, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or the EPA.
For additional information concerning the certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325. This ERC registry report, ERC registry application and instructions are on the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (select Subjects/Air Quality/Business/Permits/Emission Reduction Credits).
