Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Sections 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in a Special Industrial Area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of the cleanup standards identified under the Act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the Act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified below. During this comment period a municipality may request that the person identified below, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact Steve Curcio at (814) 332-6816. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will hold a public hearing on January 16, 1996, at 10 a.m. in the Waterfront Room, DEP offices, 500 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
The hearing is for DEP to take testimony concerning Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for the Anchor Glass Container for plant no. 5, in Connellsville, Fayette County.
The proposed approval is for the immediate implementation of manual control of Air-to-Fuel ratios on furnaces no. 1, no. 2 and no. 3 for a 15% reduction in NOx emissions. Additionally, Anchor shall install Combustion Staging on furnaces no. 1 and no. 2 by June 2, 1997 to reduce NOx emissions to 5.5 lbs. per ton of glass pulled.
RACT for all sources at this facility will include its operation and maintenance in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and accepted air pollution control practices.
A final RACT approval will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
Those wishing to present testimony during the hearing should by January 12 contact community relations coordinator Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4182 to register.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Betsy Mallison or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wish to comment, should provide written comments to Barb Hatch, Air Pollution Control Engineer, DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Comments should be submitted by January 30, 1996.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety; Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of The Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 268(b) of The Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Clearances and Shelter Holes, requires that shelter holes be provided on the clearance side along designated travelingways that are also used as haulage entries, other than belt conveyor haulage entries. Such shelter holes shall be spaced not more than 80 feet apart.
Summary of the request: Maple Creek Mining, Inc. is requesting permission to have areas of the mine devoid of shelter holes. The variance will apply to areas of the mine that were developed in excess of 70 years ago without shelter holes. Further, the use of crosscuts as shelter holes is not possible since the crosscuts are now inaccessible due to fatigue and collapse of roof and rib. Many of these areas are high with numerous locations having beams installed. Additionally, many areas are side bolted with plank. Due to the extensive amount of rehabilitation that would be required, Maple Creek Mining, Inc. feels that it would not be feasible to establish shelter holes in these areas.
The following permit applications and requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for water quality certification have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department).
