Phillip Kulp has submitted an application for an NPDES permit for an existing and expanding concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) known as Kulp Family Dairy LLC, located on Millerstown Road in North Woodbury Township, Blair County. The CAFO is situated near Clover Creek, which is classified as High Quality Waters-Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF). The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of 1,988.25 animal equivalent units (AEUs) consisting of 1,410 cows and 135 large heifers and 375 small heifers.
Manure generated at the older dairy facility is scraped and transported to an existing earthen structure containing an approximate storage capacity of 675,919 gallons and an earthen picket dam storage for solid manure. Manure storage at the new dairy operation consists of a gravity flow facility to two new earthen structures containing approximately 3,174,565 gallons and 2,885,502 gallons. A release or discharge to waters of this Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations including the Final CAFO Strategy, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an individual NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the draft permit.
The permit application and proposed draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Persons may make an appointment to review the files by calling Mary DiSanto, File Review Coordinator, at (717) 705-4732.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 1
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 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 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 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, or 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 as 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.
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 receive a copy of the 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. Any comments or protests filed with 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 to 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 below. TDD users may 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 and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Prompt Interim Response Industrial Recycling Services Stowe Township, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), initiated a prompt interim response at the Industrial Recycling Services Site (Site). This response was undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)).
The Industrial Recycling Services Site is located along McKee Street in Stowe Township, Allegheny County. The Site consisted of an abandoned trailer containing numerous drums of hazardous waste. The trailer was located adjacent to the former Industrial Recycling Services building. The conditions existing at the Industrial Recycling Services site threatened the public health and the environment. There was a direct contact threat to the hazardous substances contained in the trailer. The trailer was not secure and the drums were not sealed. There was a threat of soil/groundwater contamination as the trailer was not sealed and had openings in the roof.
The Department considered several alternatives at the Site, including: no action; securing of the site; and disposal/recycling of the waste in the trailer. The Department determined that disposal/recycling of the waste in the trailer was the appropriate course of action. This alternative was selected because it complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was determined to be the most environmentally sound procedure for this site.
The Department conducted a prompt interim response to remove the waste contained in the trailer from September 5, 2000, to October 26, 2000. All waste in the trailer was removed and properly disposed or recycled. The abandoned trailer was also removed and disposed. A final report for the response is being prepared. The Department, following the public hearing and comment period, will complete a Statement of Decision.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from January 6 until April 6. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or by delivering them to the Southwest Regional Office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on February 12 at the Sto-Rox High School at 7 p.m. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Betsy Mallison before February 8 by telephone at (412) 442-4182 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Proposed Investigation Mays/Messner HSCA Site North Fayette Township, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is proposing a response action for the Mays/Messner HSCA site (site). The site is located along State Routes 22 and 978 in North Fayette Township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The site comprises approximately 2 acres and was used as a transfer station for residual and hazardous waste materials by Mays Corporation. The area of concern is the property leased by Mays Corporation and adjoining parcels where, the Department suspects, waste materials were illegally buried.
The Department performed an earlier HSCA interim response at the site to remove and dispose of four roll-off boxes and one tank of waste containing hazardous substances, as well as to remove and dispose of contaminated surface soils. During the interim response, the Department uncovered large pieces of visible white crystalline waste and smaller areas of black granular crystalline waste. Analysis of the waste indicated that it contains naphthalene, benzoic acid and phthalic anhydride. These conditions pose direct contact and ingestion threats to human health and to the environment.
The purpose of the Department's proposed response at this site is to determine: the volume and nature of buried waste; the nature and extent of soil contamination; the nature and extent of groundwater contamination; the potential risk posed to residential wells; the risks to human health and the environment; and the need for remedial action.
The Department has considered the following options: (1) no action; (2) restricted access; and (3) further investigation.
Options 1 and 2 would allow illegally buried waste containing hazardous substances to remain onsite and possibly impact groundwater, creating direct contact and ingestion threats to human health and the environment. The contaminants present, as well as the vertical and horizontal extent of impacted media, would remain unknown. Option 2 is not practical since, without determining the area impacted by contamination, an overly conservative approach might be used in applying institutional controls such as fences and deed restrictions. The costs of the Department action might be unduly inflated.
Option 3, further investigation, would characterize to a fair degree of certainty the nature and vertical and horizontal extent of contamination, as well as any impacts to groundwater that the contamination might be having. Information obtained during the investigation would be used to analyze threats to human health and the environment and to analyze the available remedial alternatives appropriate for the site.
The Department has selected Option 3 since that option will quantify the threats posed by the site, be as protective as possible of human health and the environment, and provide the information needed to determine the best final solution for the site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from Jan. 6 until April 6, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only and may do so by sending them to Gary Mechtly, Environmental Chemist, PA DEP, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may, at a public hearing, present oral comment for inclusion in the administrative record. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Feb. 13, 2001 at 7 p.m. at the Pittsburgh Technical Institute, 1111 McKee Road, Oakmont, PA 15071. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register with Betsy Mallison before Feb. 9, 2001, by telephone at (412) 442-4182, or in writing at PA DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4182 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
