AIR QUALITY Notice of 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.
Notice is hereby given that 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 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Location: City of Sunbury, Northumberland County.
Project Description: DEP has approved an update revision to the City of Sunbury's Act 537 Official Sewage Facilities Plan which calls for the construction of $22.3 million worth of improvement to the City's existing wastewater treatment facility and its combined sewage collection system. Phase 1 of the project will expand the organic and hydraulic treatment capacity of the existing sewage treatment facility to 8,300 pounds per day and 4.2 million gallons per day, respectively. The wet weather treatment capacity will also be expanded to allow more of the storm event flows from the City's combined sewage collection system to be processed through the sewage treatment facility. Phase 2 of the project will provide treatment, equalization and disinfection facilities to allow the city to capture and treat still more of its collection system's wet weather flows.
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 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards 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 remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). 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 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. 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plans or report appears. If information concerning a plan or report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Project Description/Location: This activity involves the Schuylkill River Maintenance Dredging project. Dredging would take place within Fairmount Park, at three locations between Strawberry Bridge downstream to Fairmount Dam, in the City of Philadelphia. The first location is a shallow shoal area on the downstream side of Peter's Island, which is a section of a scull boat racecourse. The second site is the raw water intake for the City of Philadelphia, located on the west shore of the Schuylkill River. The third site is around and under small, floating wooden docks in front of Boathouse Row. A total of approximately 32,000 cubic yards of material will be removed by a small hydraulic cutter-head dredge. The material will be transported through metal piping to Fairmount Dam, where it will be pumped into barges on the downstream side of the dam, in the tidal portion of the Schuylkill River. The barges will transport the sediment downstream to the Fort Mifflin confined disposal facility, near the mouth of the Schuylkill River and the Delaware Estuary--Zone 4, for unloading.
Final Action on Request: Certification Granted.
