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 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301—3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121—77.123 and 86.31—86.34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
When a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be 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 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application 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 § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall 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. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
Coal Applications Received
Effluent Limits—The following range of effluent limits will apply to NPDES permits issued in conjunction with the associated coal mining activity permit and, in some cases, noncoal mining permits:

Under the approved plan and consistent with the Intermunicipal Agreement of December 27, 1985, as amended, by and among DARA and its tributary municipalities, sewage flows to DARA from Caln Township are to remain consistent with prior years, until such time as the plan and Intermunicipal Agreement are appropriately modified. The Inter-Municipal Agreement with DARA provides for maximum annual average flows from Caln Township of 1.3875 MGD and 3 consecutive month maximum flows not to exceed 150% of the previous year's 3 consecutive month minimum flows.
4. The plan provides for a flow diversion from a service area in the western and central portions of the Township. This service area is to be shared between the PAWC Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Downingtown Area Regional Authority's (DARA) Wastewater Treatment Facility.
5. Pretreatment requirements for facilities that discharge industrial waste to the public sewers throughout the shared service area will be enforced by the Caln Township Municipal Authority in accordance with the most restrictive pretreatment requirements in effect from either the PAWC facility or the DARA facility. Both DARA and PAWC will be contacted as part of the emergency contact system for the shared service area.
6. Planning approval is granted through this revision for a sewage pumping station and an eight-inch force main that will divert sewage flows to PAWC from the shared PAWC/DARA service area. The Municipal Drive Pump Station will be located adjacent to the existing Caln Interceptor in the vicinity of Municipal Drive Park and will ultimately divert average daily flows of 0.702 MGD to the PAWC facility through the Caln Interceptor and a flow diversion at Manhole 54. The capacity agreement with PAWC for the pumping station provides for a maximum pumping rate from the flow diversion of 536 gallons per minute, or 0.772 MGD. The proposed facilities will be owned and operated by the Caln Township Municipal Authority and are shown on Plate 5, Service Area Alternative MD-1, found in Appendix A.
Planning approval for the Municipal Drive Pump Station provides for metering of the total flows received at the pump station, metering the flows pumped to PAWC, and calculating the flows sent by gravity to DARA. Wet weather flows will be conveyed to PAWC and DARA at the same ratio as dry weather flows. In dry years, flows to DARA will decrease at the same ratio as the reduction in overall flows.
7. Planning approval provides for Chapter 94 reporting by the Caln Township Municipal Authority to both PAWC and DARA. The Chapter 94 Report is to provide both total average flows and instantaneous or hourly total wet weather peak flows: (1) received at the Municipal Drive Pump Station; (2) pumped to PAWC; and (3) conveyed by gravity to DARA. The Chapter 94 Report must document that sewage flows from the shared sewer service area are being conveyed to PAWC and DARA consistent with the approved ratios indicated in item 6.
8. Water Quality Permit No. 1509401 was issued to the Caln Township Municipal Authority for the Municipal Drive Pump Station and associated force main on July 7, 2009. To assure implementation of the Township's plan to control wet weather sewage flows to be conveyed to PAWC and DARA through the diversion at the same ratio as dry weather flows, as approved in item 6, above, the Caln Township Municipal Authority will need to obtain a permit amendment for the metering and control system necessary to assure that these ratios are maintained during wet weather/high flow conditions.
9. Caln Township will develop and implement an Onlot Sewage Disposal System (OLDS) Sewage Management Program within 5 years for the areas of the Township designated as onlot sewage disposal system areas in Appendix A, Plates 5 and 6.
10. If future malfunctions are identified in existing onlot sewage disposal areas, Caln Township will use the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) Component 3m to evaluate and adopt sewage facilities planning for the connection of these areas to public sewers.
Note that when future needs indicate additional or changed sewage facilities needs in Caln Township that require additional treatment capacity at PAWC or DARA, additional sewage facilities planning must be adopted by Caln Township and approved by the Department, along with any necessary changes to the inter-municipal agreements that are needed to serve the identified needs.

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.
