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.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued Plan Approval No. 17-00055A for construction of the facility on July 21, 2005, expiring on July 21, 2007. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21 and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
The facility's PM and PM10 emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed level of PM and PM10 emission control satisfies BAT and the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements. The facility is also subject to the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources for Subpart Da: New Electric Utility Steam Generating Units, 40 CFR 60.40a--49a and satisfies all applicable requirements of this subpart. The CFB boiler will emit up to 125.7 tons of filterable PM10, 628.7 tons of total PM10, including both filterable and condensable PM10, 714 pounds of lead and 216 pounds of beryllium in any 12-consecutive month period.
In accordance with the PSD provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, River Hill has provided an air quality Class II modeling analysis that demonstrates that the proposed power facility will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the PSD increment standards or the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. In addition, the PSD regulations require an analysis of the impact of the facility's projected PM emissions on visibility, and soils and vegetation, and the air quality impact due to growth associated with the power facility. River Hill has demonstrated that there will be no adverse impact on local visibility and soils and vegetation in the site area and no appreciable air quality impact due to growth associated with the power facility. In accordance with the PSD regulations, River Hill has also provided an air quality Class I modeling analysis and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Federal Land Managers that the power facility's projected emissions will not adversely impact air quality related values, including visibility, within Federal Class I areas. Furthermore, modeled ambient concentrations of SO2, NOx and PM10 in the Dolly Sods, Otter Creek and Shenandoah National Park Class I areas are below the respective significant impact levels (SIL) for Class I PSD increments.
The air quality modeling analysis estimates that the operation of the River Hill power facility will result in Class II area increment consumption for PM10 of 20.8 µg/m3 of the allowable 30 µg/m3 24-hour PM10 increment standard and 10.2 µg/m3 of the allowable 17 µg/m3 annual PM10 increment standard. The air quality modeling analysis estimates that the operation of the River Hill power facility will result in maximum Class I area impacts that will not exceed the Class I SIL for PM10. The maximum PM10 Class I impact is 0.174 µg/m3 of the applicable 0.3 µg/m3 24-hour PM10 SIL and 0.00392 µg/m3 of the applicable 0.2 µg/m3 annual PM10 SIL.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed revisions will comply with all State and Federal requirements as specified pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval for the proposed revisions. The Department proposes the following plan approval conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

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.
