AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The Department's review of the information contained in the application submitted by Avery Dennison Performance Polymers, indicates that the source will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the particulate matter emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, the sulfur oxide emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 and the visible emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41. The plan approval, if issued, will subsequently be incorporated into the state only operating permit via an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date.
Based upon this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the construction and operation of the R-100 emulsion reactor system. The following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
All volatile organic compounds captured from the R-100 emulsion reactor system incorporated into Source ID P102 shall be ducted to Control Device C102C. The volatile organic compound destruction efficiency of Control Device C102C shall be equal to, or greater than 99% or a VOC concentration not to exceed 20 parts per million (as propane) by volume, dry basis (ppmdv) at 3% oxygen at all times. The combustion chamber temperature of Control Device C102C shall not be less than 1,600F at any time while controlling air contaminant emissions from the R-100 emulsion reactor system incorporated in Source ID P102. Work practice requirements to operate the sources and control devices with good air pollution control practices. Recordkeeping and Reporting conditions to verify compliance with the emission limitations and all applicable requirements
The facility is a State Only facility. If the Department determines that the sources are constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for Plan Approval 18-00021B, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into State Only Operating Permit 18-00021 pursuant to the administrative amendment provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response Noll Lane Battery Casings Site Ruscombmanor Township, Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) is proposing an interim response at the Noll Lane Battery Casings Site (Site), Ruscombmanor Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Lead contaminated battery casings and soil are located at various depths at the eight residential properties located along Noll Lane. It is believed that the casings were placed in the lane in the 1950s as fill. The Site is located in a predominately rural area, with mixed agricultural and residential uses. The lead contamination constitutes a release of a hazardous substance which poses a threat to public health or safety through ingestion and dermal contact. The proposed response action will entail excavation to a depth of two feet on the shoulders of the roadway and off-site disposal of the battery casing material and contaminated soils above the Residential Statewide Health Standard for lead of 500 mg/kg. The roadway will be rough-graded, capped with asphalt and storm water controls installed. The area will be graded and grass planted to restore the affected areas. Institutional controls will be required. The cost of this response is estimated at $500,000.
This notice is being provided pursuant to sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. Sections 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b), and the publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting David Hrobuchak at 717-705-4843. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Ruscombmanor Township Building, 204 Oak Lane, Fleetwood, PA 19522, telephone 610-944-7242, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on January 3, 2015, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department by April 6, 2015, by mailing them to Mr. Hrobuchak at the DEP Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200. The public will have the opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for February 10, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. at the Ruscombmanor Township Building. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment(s) at the hearing should register before 3:00 p.m. February 9, 2015, by calling Mr. Hrobuchak at 717-705-4843. There will be an informational meeting at the beginning of the public hearing.
Persons with a disability, who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Mr. Hrobuchak at the above number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (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—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 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. 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 under 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.

Plans and reports required by 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. 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 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 under which the notice of the plan or report appears.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES PERMIT NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT Notice of Settlement of NPDES Permit Appeal pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 92a.88 California District Office: 25 Technology Drive, Coal Center, PA 15423, 724.769.1100.
Rosebud Mining Company (Coral Graceton Mine) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-181-L (Consolidated at EHB Docket No. 2013-042-B) The above matter involved the appeal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0235946 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into the revised Bituminous Coal Mining Activity Permit No. 32081301 (''Coal Mining Permit), both of which were issued to Rosebud on September 13, 2013, authorizing operations at the new Coral Graceton Mine in Center Township, Indiana County. The NPDES Permit authorized treated mining discharges and the discharge of treated wastewater from mine drainage treatment facilities at Outfalls 001, 002 and 003 to a UNT to Two Lick Creek. The effluent limitations in the NPDES Permit are subject to the Kiski-Connemaugh Total Maximum Daily Load report developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (''US EPA'').
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement entered into by the Department and Rosebud. In its appeal, Rosebud challenged, inter alia, water quality based effluent limitations for iron, manganese, aluminum and osmotic pressure The major provisions of the settlement require Rosebud to accept all of the originally imposed water quality based effluent limitations for iron, manganese and aluminum and osmotic pressure but with a correction to two of the three effluent limitations for manganese. The monthly average concentration limitation for manganese will remain at 1.0 milligram per liter (''mg/l''). The maximum daily concentration limitation for manganese will be revised to 2.0 mgs/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation for manganese will be revised to 2.5 mgs/l in the next draft Amended NPDES Permit. Rosebud agreed not to challenge a final Amended NPDES Permit containing these effluent limitations. The draft Amended NPDES Permit is still subject to comment from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the public prior to final issuance.
Copies of the full agreement are in the possession of Charney Regenstein, Assistant Counsel, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4262; and Gregg M. Rosen, Esquire, McGuireWoods LLP, EQT Plaza, 625 Liberty Avenue, 23rd Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3142, (412) 667-7934 and may be reviewed by an interested person on request during normal business hours.
Any person believing himself aggrieved by the above Consent Order and Agreement has a right to appeal to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105-8457. Appeals must be filed within thirty (30) days of this publication.

Rosebud Mining Company (Coal Refuse Disposal No. 2) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-056-B (Consolidated at EHB Docket No. 2013-042-B) The above matter involved the appeal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0214558 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into the revised Coal Refuse Disposal Permit No. 03870701 (''CRDP''), both of which were issued to Rosebud on April 9, 2013, authorizing operations at the Coal Refuse Disposal Area #2, located in Plumcreek Township, Armstrong County. The NPDES Permit authorized the discharge of treated wastewater from mine drainage treatment facilities at Outfalls 001 and 002 to Dutch Run.
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement entered into by the Department and Rosebud. In its appeal, Rosebud challenged, inter alia, effluent limitations for iron, manganese and aluminum. During the pendency of the appeal, the Department reviewed the assumptions used in developing the effluent limitations and obtained new data. In addition, the permittee informed the Department it planned to reduce its discharge flow by 50%. Based on this new information, the Department calculated the following draft effluent limitations for both Outfalls 001 and 002. Specifically, for iron, the monthly average concentration limitation will be 1.6 milligram per liter (''mg/l''), the daily maximum concentration limitation will be 3.2 mgs/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 4.0 mgs/l. For manganese, the monthly average concentration limitation will be 1.0 mg/l, the daily maximum concentration limitation will be 2.0 mgs/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 2.5 mgs/l. For aluminum, the maximum daily concentration limitation at 0.75 mg/l is the same limitation that was contained in the initially issued NPDES Permit. The monthly average concentration limitation will be 0.75 mg/l, and the instantaneous maximum concentration will be 0.75 mg/l. For osmotic pressure, the monthly average concentration limitation will be 53 milliosmoles per kilogram (''mos/kg''), the daily maximum concentration limitation will be 106 mos/kg, and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 132 mos/kg.
Rosebud agreed not to challenge a final Amended NPDES Permit containing these effluent limitations. The draft NPDES Permit, is still subject to comment from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the public prior to final issuance.
Copies of the full agreement are in the possession of Charney Regenstein, Assistant Counsel, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4262; and Gregg M.

Rosebud Mining Company (Mine 78 Coal Refuse Disposal Area (''CRDA'')) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-102-B (Consolidated at No. 2013-042-B) The above matter involved the appeal of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0235695 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into the renewed Coal Refuse Disposal Permit No. 56743705 (''CRDP''), both of which were issued to Rosebud on June 13, 2013, authorizing operations at Mine 78 CRDA in Paint Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Mine 78 CRDA is adjacent to Mine 78, an existing underground bituminous coal mine where coal is produced from the Upper Kittanning seam of coal. The NPDES Permit for Mine 78 CRDA authorized the discharge of treated wastewater as follows: Outfall 001 from Treatment Pond 2 consists of coal refuse leachate and stormwater runoff in contact with coal refuse which discharges to an unnamed tributary (''UNT'') to Paint Creek; and Outfall 002 from Sediment Pond 1 consists of stormwater which discharges to a UNT to Paint Creek. Discharges from Outfalls 001 and 002 eventually flow to the Conemaugh River.
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement (''2014 COA'') entered into by the Department and Rosebud. Under the 2014 COA the Department will publish a draft Amended NPDES Permit in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The draft Amended NPDES Permit maintains water quality based effluent limitations (''WQBELs'') for discharges from Outfalls 001 and 002 to surface waters of the Commonwealth.
By way of background, the Kiski-Conemaugh watershed is impaired for acid mine drainage (''AMD''), specifically for iron, manganese and aluminum. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (''EPA'') has developed a total maximum daily load (''TMDL'') plan for the watershed in which this facility is located. The Berwind Mine Pool is a vast abandoned mine pool that is located, in part, beneath Mine 78 and Mine 78 CRDA. Discharges from the abandoned Berwind Mine Pool, through an abandoned elevator shaft known as the St. Michael Shaft contributed almost 30% of the total AMD load to the Little Conemaugh River. In a 2012 Consent Order and Agreement entered into by the Department, Rosebud and the St. Michael's Land Company (''2012 COA''), Rosebud agreed to pump and treat the Berwind Mine pool to technology-based effluent limitations (''TBELs'') to prevent the discharge of AMD from the abandoned St. Michael Shaft and several other abandoned seeps of AMD.
Under the provisions of the 2012 COA, Rosebud is still required to meet WQBELs, at Outfall 005, but is authorized to use offsets to achieve those effluent limitations. Rosebud has constructed and operated, at its own expense, the St. Michael's treatment facility (''St. Michael's Facility'') to treat the pumped mine pool. Since 2012, Rosebud has reduced the iron load to the receiving stream by approximately 98%, the manganese by approximately 74% and the aluminum by approximately 74%. Rosebud is obligated to treat the abandoned discharge so long as it operates Mine 78. Rosebud is also obligated to pay $15,000,000 into a trust to provide financial resources to the Department toward the operation and maintenance of the treatment facility after Rosebud ends its mining operations. As a result of Rosebud's efforts, the environmental quality of the Little Conemaugh River watershed has dramatically improved. Under the terms of the 2012 COA and a prior NPDES Permit issued to Rosebud, Rosebud uses these iron load reductions at Mine 78 as an offset to achieve TMDL-driven WQBELs at Outfall 005. The use of offsets was reviewed and approved by EPA and is consistent with the loadings for AMD parameters set forth in the Kiski-Conemaugh TMDL.
The 2014 COA does not amend the 2012 COA. The 2014 COA allows Rosebud to apply to the Department for a formal permit revision for its water handling plan of the Mine 78 CRDA Coal Mining Permit (''Formal Permit Revision''). If the Department determines the Formal Permit Revision meets all applicable laws, the Department will issue a revised Mine 78 CRDA Coal Mining Permit authorizing a discharge from Outfall 001 at the Mine 78 CRDA to the Berwind Mine Pool for treatment at the St. Michael's Facility. Prior to discharging, Rosebud will treat the effluent from Outfall 001 to the mine pool to the same quality as it treats the discharge from the St. Michael's Facility. Due to the vast size of the Berwind Mine Pool, this discharge from Outfall 001 will not increase the rate or quantity of the discharge currently permitted from the St. Michael's Facility. Because the ultimate discharge to surface water from Outfall 005 is controlled by the St. Michael's Facility and because Rosebud is treating effluent from its Outfall 001 to the same quality it treats the effluent at the St. Michael's Facility, the concentrations of iron, manganese and aluminum discharged from the St. Michael's Facility will not increase as a result of the discharge from Outfall 001 to the mine pool. Rosebud still must achieve offsets to demonstrate compliance with the WQBELs at Outfall 005, Mine 78, the outfall designated for the discharge of the treated mine pool. Routing the treated discharge to the Berwind Mine Pool, if and when subsequently approved by the Department, will be limited to the duration of underground mining and shall cease upon completion of mining at Mine 78.
In the 2014 COA, Rosebud agrees not to challenge the effluent limitations of the Draft Amended NPDES Permit should it be issued in final by the Department. In the interim, Rosebud agrees to abide by the terms and conditions of its existing NPDES Permit.
Copies of the full agreement may be reviewed by an interested person on request during normal business hours. Copies are in the possession of Charney Regenstein, Assistant Counsel, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4262; and Gregg M. Rosen, Esquire, McGuireWoods LLP, Dominion Tower, 625 Liberty Avenue, 23rd Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3142, (412) 667-6000 and may be reviewed by an interested person on request during normal business hours.

Rosebud Mining Company (Mine 78) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-065-B (Consolidated at No. 2013-042-B) The above matter involved the appeal of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0033677 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into revised Bituminous Coal Mining Activity Permit No. 56841328 (''Coal Mining Permit), both of which were issued to Rosebud on April 26, 2013, authorizing operations at the Mine 78 in Adams and Richland Townships, Cambria County, and Paint Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Mine 78 is an existing underground bituminous coal mine where coal is produced from the Upper Kittanning seam of coal. The NPDES Permit authorized the discharge of treated wastewater from mine drainage treatment facilities at Mine 78's Outfalls 001, 002, 003, 004 and 005 to surface waters in the Kiski-Conemaugh River watershed.
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement (''2014 COA'') entered into by the Department and Rosebud. Under the 2014 COA the Department will publish a draft Amended NPDES Permit in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The draft Amended NPDES Permit maintains water quality based effluent limitations (''WQBELs'') for discharges from Outfalls 001—005, inclusive, to surface waters of the Commonwealth. Under the provisions of a prior Consent Order and agreement entered into by Department, Rosebud and the St. Michael Land Company, Inc. on December 5, 2012 (''2012 COA'') and a prior NPDES Permit issued on the same date, Rosebud is authorized to use offsets to achieve the effluent limitations at Outfall 005.

Since the entry of the 2012 COA, Rosebud has constructed and operated, at its own expense, the St. Michael's treatment facility (''St Michael's Facility'') to treat the pumped mine pool. Since 2012, Rosebud has reduced the iron load to the receiving stream by approximately 98%, the manganese by approximately 74% and the aluminum by approximately 74%. Rosebud is obligated to treat the abandoned discharge so long as it operates Mine 78. Rosebud is also obligated to pay $15,000,000 into a trust to provide financial resources to the Department toward the operation and maintenance of the treatment facility after Rosebud ends its mining operations.

Rosebud Mining Company (Solar No. 7 Mine) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-042-B (Consolidated) The above matter involved the appeal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0110914 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into the revised Bituminous Coal Mining Activity Permit No. 56841310 (''Coal Mining Permit), both of which were issued to Rosebud on March 11, 2013, authorizing operations at the Solar No. 7 Mine in Quemahoning Township, Somerset County. The NPDES Permit authorized a treated post-mining discharge and the discharge of treated wastewater from mine drainage treatment facilities at Outfall 001 to Higgins Run. The effluent limitations in the NPDES Permit are subject to the Kiski-Conneamaugh Total Maximum Daily Load report developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, (''US EPA'').
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement entered into by the Department and Rosebud. In its appeal Rosebud challenged, inter alia, water quality based effluent limitations for iron, manganese, aluminum, total dissolved solids (''TDS''), sulfates and osmotic pressure (''OP''). The water quality based effluent limitations for iron and manganese were initially established at less than applicable water quality criteria. The major provisions of the settlement require Rosebud to accept the originally imposed effluent limitations for TDS and OP. For amended effluent limitations for iron, manganese and aluminum, the Department will publish an Amended NPDES Permit. Specifically, for iron, the monthly average concentration limitation will be 1.5 milligrams per liter (''mg/l''), the daily maximum concentration limitation will be 3.0 mg/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 3.8 mg/l. For manganese, the monthly average concentration limitation will be 1.0 mg/l, the daily maximum concentration limitation will be 2.0 mg/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 2.5 mg/l. For aluminum, two of the three effluent limitations were revised from the original permit. The monthly average concentration limitation for aluminum will be 0.75 mg/l, the daily maximum concentration limitation will remain 0.75 mg/l and the instantaneous maximum concentration limitation will be 0.75 mg/l. Rosebud agreed not to challenge a final Amended NPDES Permit containing these effluent limitations. The draft Amended NPDES Permit is still subject to comment from the US EPA and the public prior to final issuance.

Rosebud Mining Company (Stonycreek Mine) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2013-046-B (Consolidated at EHB Docket No. 2013-042-B) The above matter involved the appeal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0235865 (''NPDES Permit''), which was incorporated into the revised Bituminous Coal Mining Activity Permit No. 56091301 (''Coal Mining Permit), both of which were issued to Rosebud on March 22, 2013, authorizing operations at the new Stonycreek Mine in Quemahoning Township, Somerset County. The NPDES Permit authorized the discharge of treated wastewater from mine drainage treatment facilities via Outfalls 001 to a UNT of Beaverdam Creek; Outfalls 002, 003, 005 and 006 to Beaverdam Creek; and Outfall 004 to the unnamed tributary to the Stonycreek River. The above listed streams all eventually flow to the Conemaugh River. The effluent limitations in the NPDES Permit are subject to the Kiski-Connemaugh Total Maximum Daily Load report developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (''USEPA'').
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 15, 2014 Consent Order and Agreement entered into by the Department and Rosebud. In its appeal, Rosebud challenged, inter alia, water quality based effluent limitations for iron, manganese, aluminum and osmotic pressure. The major provisions of the settlement require Rosebud to accept the originally imposed effluent limitations for iron, manganese and total suspended solids. For aluminum, the Department will publish an Amended NPDES Permit that maintains the maximum daily average concentration limitation of 0.75 milligrams per liter (''mg/l''). The monthly average concentration and instantaneous maximum limitations for aluminum will also be established at 0.75 mg/l. For Osmotic Pressure the originally issued NPDES Permit contained effluent limitations at Outfalls 002 and 004. During the pendency of the appeal, the Department conducted additional site-specific studies. As a result of those studies the proposed Amended NPDES Draft Permit will not contain numerical effluent limitations for osmotic pressure at these outfalls. The company will, however, monitor and report the concentration of osmotic pressure at every outfall. Rosebud agreed not to challenge a final Amended NPDES Permit containing these effluent limitations. The draft Amended NPDES Permit is still subject to comment from the USEPA the public prior to final issuance.

Consent Order and Agreement Borough of Shippensburg, 111 North Fayette Street, Shippensburg, PA 17257; The Clean Streams Law; NPDES Permit No. PA 0030643; Southampton Township, Franklin County
Consent Order and Agreement This Consent Order and Agreement (''COA'') is entered into this 8th day of December, 2014, by and between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department'') and the Borough of Shippensburg (''Shippensburg'').
The Department has found and determined the following:
A. The Department is the agency with the duty and authority to administer and enforce the Clean Streams Law, the Act of June 22, 1937, P. L. 1987, as amended, 35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001 (''The Clean Streams Law''); Section 1917-A of the Administrative Code of 1929, Act of April 9, 1929, P. L. 177, as amended, 71 P. S. § 510-17 (''Administrative Code''); and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the delegated authority to administer a permit program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (''NPDES''), under Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342.
B. Shippensburg is a municipality as defined in Section 1 of the Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.1, with a mailing address of 111 North Fayette Street, Shippensburg, PA 17257.
C. Shippensburg operates a publicly-owned treatment works (''POTW''), located in Southampton Township, Franklin County. Shippensburg's system consists of a sewage treatment plant (''STP'') and an associated sewage conveyance system (collectively the ''Sewer System''). The STP discharges treated wastewater into the Middle Spring Creek, a water of the Commonwealth. The discharge constitutes sewage pursuant to Sections 201 and 202 of the Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. §§ 691.201 and 691.202. Shippensburg leases the Sewer System from the Shippensburg Borough Authority and is required to manage, operate and maintain the Sewer System.
D. At all times relevant to the events described in this COA, ARRO Engineering Group (''ARRO'') was contracted to serve as Shippensburg's certified operator.
E. The discharge from the STP is authorized by NPDES Permit No. PA 0030643 issued by the Department to Shippensburg with an effective date of February 1, 2014, pursuant to Sections 201 and 202 of The Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. §§ 691.201 and 691.202. The NPDES Permit No. PA 0030643 expires on January 31, 2019.
F. Shippensburg is required by its NPDES permit and 25 Pa. Code § 92a.4l(c) to prevent the discharge of floating materials, foam or substances that produce an observable change in color, taste, odor or turbidity of the receiving water, unless those conditions are otherwise controlled through effluent limitations or other requirements in its permit.
G. On February 8, 2012, the Department issued Water Quality Management Permit No. 2105402, Amendment No. 11-1 to the Shippensburg Borough Authority. This permit approved the following planned modifications to the STP: upgrading the hydraulic capacity of the influent pumping, the addition of two influent screening systems, the upgrade of the five stage biological nutrient removal (''BNR'') process to include an integrated fixed film activated sludge (''IFAS'') system, upgrade of tertiary filtration, upgrade of the ultraviolet disinfection system and miscellaneous sludge handling upgrades.
H. Shippensburg awarded the construction project to Pact Two, LLC (''Pact Two'').
I. On February 12, 2014, during construction at the STP, IFAS media, which was designed to be contained in a finite area of the five-stage BNR process, was released to the clarifiers and tertiary filters. The IFAS media, approximately nickel-sized black plastic discs that resemble ''rotelle'' pasta, was released to downstream treatment units, which created the potential for mechanical problems since these units were not designed to accommodate significant amounts of free-floating media.
J. During the evening of February 25, 2014 through the morning of February 26, 2014, due to construction, two temporary pumps were being used to pump mixed liquor to the STP's two secondary clarifiers One of these pumps became clogged with the previously released IFAS media. The pump failed. All mixed liquor was then directed to one clarifier. This clarifier became overloaded and pushed mixed liquor solids into the downstream tertiary filters. The tertiary filters were blinded by the high levels of solids. Flow was unable to pass through the tertiary filters. Flow was redirected to the backwash tank and then ultimately back to the head of the plant. The backwash tank eventually overflowed. Partially treated wastewater discharged directly to Middle Spring Creek.
K. Alarms previously installed to alert plant personnel of high levels in the tertiary filter backwash tank had been disabled during construction. No alarm system was included in the new design or construction drawings. The discharge into Middle Spring Creek was not discovered until 6:00 a.m. on February 26, 2014, when Pact Two, arrived at the plant.
L. On February 26, 2014, ARRO notified the Department of the discharge. The Department inspected the plant, noting that an unpermitted discharge had occurred from the tertiary filter backwash tank.
M. Immediately after the February 26, 2014 discharge, a float alarm system was installed in the tertiary filter backwash tank. At the direction of ARRO, the alarm system was set up to call representatives of Pact Two.
N. On March 2, 2014, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the tertiary filter alarm system called two Pact Two representatives, however, the message was not received by Pact Two's representatives until 4:00 a.m. on March 3, 2014.
O. IFAS media retention screens, designed to allow mixed liquor to pass through, but keep media from passing through into the downstream processes, became obstructed. This obstruction caused forward flow to overtop the baffle that housed the screens. Mixed liquor and IFAS media were discharged into the downstream processes. Overwhelmed by IFAS media, the tertiary filters failed overflowed. Partially treated sewage and IFAS media discharged directly into Middle Spring Creek.
P. On March 3, 2014, between 4:30 and 5:00 a.m., Pact Two representatives arrived at the Plant. Pact Two admitted that it shut down the effluent pumps. According to Shippensburg, at 6:40 a.m. Pact Two notified Shippensburg's consulting design engineer, and certified operator, ARRO, of the discharge. Borough personnel became aware of the discharge upon arrival at the plant, at approximately 6:45 a.m. One hour after ARRO became aware of the discharge, ARRO notified the Department of the discharge.
Q. On March 3, 2014, the Department inspected the plant. The Department observed the discharge of partially treated sewage and IFAS media. At the time of the inspection media was observed near Middle Spring Creek's confluence with the Conodoguinet Creek. At an on-site meeting with the Borough, ARRO, and Pact Two, the Department requested that a clean-up contractor be hired to begin containing and removing media from Middle Spring Creek.
R. On March 4, 2014 the Department returned to the plant to verify progress of clean-up efforts. The Department discovered that no clean-up contractor had yet been hired and no clean-up work in the Middle Spring Creek had started, except that Department personnel observed that two booms had been placed in the receiving stream directly below the outfall, but they did not appear to contain the discharged media. The Department noted that the delay in initiating clean-up efforts allowed significantly more IFAS media to be discharged into Middle Spring Creek. The delay also allowed the IFAS media to travel further downstream in the Conodoguinet Creek.
S. On March 5, 2014, remediation work began on Middle Spring Creek. On the same day, the alarm system for the tertiary filter backwash tank was programmed to call the plant operator, borough manager, and Pact Two. The contractor collected media from Middle Spring Creek and the Conodoguinet Creek. The contractor collected media on a daily basis, until March 31, 2014, when collection was reduced to once per week. On March 21, 2014, Pact Two wrote to Shippensburg, advising it that, ''On March 4, 2014, PACT arranged for the use of vacuum trucks to accelerate collection of media at the plant. PACT also retained an environmental remediation contractor who mobilized and arrived on the scene by 6:30 A.M. on March 5. The remediation contractor placed additional booms downstream of the Plant to collect media, and also commenced a thorough process to retrieve media from the creek banks on March 5, 2014.''
T. On March 14, 2014, the Department sent Shippensburg a Notice of Violation (NOV) for the February 25-26, 2014 discharge. On that same day, the Department sent Shippensburg a NOV for the March 3, 2014 discharge. The NOVs requested that Shippensburg submit reports to the Department within ten days describing the causes of the noncompliance and the steps being taken to prevent recurrences of the violations.
U. On March 24, 2014, Shippensburg responded to both NOVs, attaching to its letter correspondence from ARRO and Pact Two. Shippensburg explained the steps being taken and those planned to resolve the violations and prevent them in the future. Shippensburg's knowledge of some of the facts set forth in this COA is based on correspondence it received from ARRO and Pact Two as well as information communicated to it by ARRO and Pact Two and such facts are accurate only insofar as the information provided to Shippensburg was accurate.
V. On October 15, 2014, Shippensburg submitted a complete report to the Department that details ''necessary corrective work'' to achieve a functional IFAS system at the STP that achieves compliance with currently anticipated hydraulic and organic loadings and effluent discharge limitations (the ''Report''), which report is incorporated here by reference.
W. The phrase ''necessary corrective work,'' for the purposes of this COA, shall mean work that is necessary to correct the IFAS process identified in the Water Quality Management Permit No. 2105402, Amendment No. 11-1.
X. These discharges of partially treated sewage and floating material IFAS media, as described in Paragraphs J through L, O, Q and R, above, were not authorized by permit or regulation and are thereby constitute violations of Sections 201 and 202 of The Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. §§ 691.201 and 691.202.
Y. The violations described in paragraph X, above, constitute unlawful conduct under Section 611 of The Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.611, and subject Shippensburg to a claim for civil penalties under Section 605 of The Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.605.
Z. On September 29, 2014, the Department and Shippensburg met to discuss the Shippensburg STP. Shippensburg notified the Department that the Cumberland Franklin Joint Municipal Authority (''CFJMA'') has agreed to advance payment for the necessary corrective work at the STP, subject to various conditions. Shippensburg further notified the Department that in the event that Shippensburg requests increased capacity at the STP, and the Department approves of the rerated capacity, Shippensburg will recognize CFJMA's ownership of increased capacity and will execute the required documentation with CFJMA establishing CFJMA's ownership of such additional capacity.
After full and complete negotiation of all matters set forth in this COA and upon mutual exchange of the covenants contained herein, the parties desiring to avoid litigation and intending to be legally bound, it is hereby ORDERED by the Department and AGREED to by Shippensburg as follows:
1. Authority. This COA is an Order of the Department authorized and issued pursuant to Sections 5 and 610 of the Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.5 and 691.610; and Section 1917-A of the Administrative Code, 71 P. S. § 510.17.
2. Findings.
a. Shippensburg agrees that the findings in paragraphs A through X, and Z are true and correct and, in any matter or proceeding involving Shippensburg and the Department, Shippensburg shall not challenge the accuracy or validity of these findings.
b. The parties do not authorize any other persons to use the findings in the COA in any matter or proceeding.
3. Corrective Action.
a. On or before December 31, 2014, Shippensburg shall submit administratively complete NPDES and Part II permit applications to the Department for ''the necessary corrective work'' identified in the Report.

Stipulated civil penalty payments for any violation of paragraph 3 herein shall be payable monthly on or before the fifteenth day of each succeeding month, and shall be forwarded as described in paragraph 4 above. Penalties for violation of the NPDES permit effluent limits shall be payable within thirty calendar days of submission of a monitoring report for any such violation. The penalties shall be due automatically and without notice.
c. Any payment under this paragraph shall neither waive Shippensburg's duty to meet its obligations under this COA, nor preclude the Department from commencing an action to compel Shippensburg's compliance with the terms and conditions of this COA. The payment resolves Shippensburg's liability only for civil penalties arising from the violation of this COA for which the payment is made.
6. Additional Remedies.
a. In the event Shippensburg fails to comply with any provision of this COA, the Department may, in addition to the remedies prescribed herein, pursue any remedy available for a violation of an order of the Department, including any action to enforce this COA.
b. The remedies provided by this paragraph and paragraph 4 are cumulative and the exercise of one does not preclude the exercise of any other. The failure of the Department to pursue any remedy shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that remedy. The payment of a stipulated civil penalty, however, shall preclude any further assessment of civil penalties for the violation for which the stipulated civil penalty is paid.
c. No provision of this COA shall preclude the Department from pursuing civil penalties for past violations, or any future reported or documented violations, except those violations covered by Paragraph 4 of this COA.
7. Reservation of Rights. The Department reserves the right to require additional measures to achieve compliance with applicable laws. Shippensburg reserves the right to challenge any action which the Department may take to require those measures:
8. Liability of Operator. Shippensburg shall be liable for any violations of the COA, including those caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its officers, agents, employees or contractors. Shippensburg also shall be liable for any violation of this COA caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its successors and assigns.
9. Transfer of Site.
a. The duties and obligations under this COA shall not be modified, diminished, terminated, or otherwise altered by the transfer of any legal or equitable interest in the Plant or any part thereof.
b. If Shippensburg intends to transfer any legal or equitable interest in the STP which is affected by this COA, Shippensburg shall serve a copy of this COA upon the prospective transferee of the legal and equitable interest at least 30 days prior to contemplated transfer and shall simultaneously inform the Department's Southcentral Regional Office of such intent.
c. The Department in its sole discretion may agree to modify or terminate Shippensburg's duties and obligations under this COA upon transfer of the Plant. Shippensburg waives any right that it may have to challenge the Department' s decision in this regard.

The written submission shall include all necessary documentation, as well as a notarized affidavit from an authorized individual specifying the reasons for the delay, the expected duration of the delay, and the efforts which have been made and are being made by Shippensburg to mitigate the effects of the event and to minimize the length of the delay. The initial written submission may be supplemented within ten working days of its submission. Shippensburg's failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph specifically and in a timely fashion shall render this paragraph null and of no effect as to the particular incident involved.
c. The Department will decide whether to grant all or part of the extension requested on the basis of all documentation submitted by Shippensburg and other information available to the Department. In any subsequent litigation, the operator shall have the burden of proving that the Department's refusal to grant the requested extension was an abuse of discretion based upon the information then available to it.

18. Decisions Under Consent Order.

Code § 1021.2, nor an adjudication under 2 Pa.C.S. § 101. Any objection which Shippensburg may have to the decision will be preserved until the Department enforces this Consent Order and Agreement.
19. Termination.
