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 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, 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, 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 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.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Pure-Sil Site
Bradford, McKean CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with Pure-Sil, Inc. (Pure-Sil) concerning Pure-Sil's liability for the Pure-Sil Site (Site). The Site is located on approximately 1.99 acres along Silicon Way in the City of Bradford, McKean County.
In the past, hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances have contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department estimates that it will cost $4,000 to conduct the further investigation at the Site. A realistic estimate of the cost for the clean up of the Site cannot be made until further investigation has been completed.
As the owner and operator of the Site during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances, Pure-Sil is a ''responsible person'' as defined under section 103 of the HSCA. Based upon Pure-Sil's available assets and their certification concerning their financial condition, the Department has determined that Pure-Sil cannot pay for the investigation and clean up of the Site. Accordingly, to resolve this matter without litigation, the Department and Pure-Sil have agreed to enter into an inability to pay settlement whereby Pure-Sil will donate the Site to the City of Bradford free and clear of liens. The Department obtained a report by a qualified real estate appraiser that the fair market value of the Site in a clean condition is $75,000.
Under section 1113 of the HSCA, the Department and the City of Bradford have also entered into a COA whereby the City of Bradford will investigate the Site and will conduct any necessary clean up of the Site under the Special Industrial Area standard under the Land Recycling Act (Act 2). Upon completion of the clean up of the Site, the City of Bradford will then redevelop the Site for commercial and/or industrial uses to create jobs for public benefit.
The specific terms of the settlements with Pure-Sil and the City of Bradford are set forth in their respective COAs with the Department. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the two COAs 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the COAs if the comments concerning these COAs disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the COAs are inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.
After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Pure-Sil and the City of Bradford shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Pure-Sil and the City of Bradford, in writing, that their respective COAs are final and effective in their present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the COAs or that no comments were received.
Both COAs are available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Comments may be submitted to Marilee Hylant, Project Manager, at the previous address. Further information may be obtained by contacting Marilee Hylant at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
Prompt Interim Response Broody Tire Fire Site
Edwardsville, Luzerne CountyThe Department, under the authority of the HSCA, has initiated a prompt interim response at the Broody Tire Fire Site (Site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of the HSCA. The Site is located along Plymouth Street, Edwardsville, Luzerne County, PA.
The Site was most recently utilized as a used tire business (Broody's Tires). Among other things, Broody's Tires collects used tires from tire dealers and auto repair business, transports the tires to the Site and sells used tires and stores used tires at the Site. On August 26, 2002, a fire consumed a large number of tires, trailers and debris stored onsite. As a result of the fire, contaminated debris was spread throughout the Site and also to off-Site areas. On August 27, 2002, the Department initiated a response action utilizing an emergency response contractor to remove burnt tires, debris and contaminated materials and soils to an offsite disposal facility. Further investigative and or remediation activities may be undertaken at this site in the future.
Given the specific circumstances at the Site, the Department determined that the removal of the contaminated debris and soils was the only viable alternative to implement at this Site to address the release. This response action was needed in a prompt manner to protect public health and safety.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northeast Regional Office, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from October 19, 2002, to January 20, 2003. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by delivering them or sending them to Joseph Iannuzzo, Project Officer, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for December 4, 2002, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Regional Office, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response action that involved the removal of the contaminated debris and soils. Persons wishing to present testimony at the December 4, 2002, hearing regarding removal of contaminated debris and soils should register with Joe Iannuzzo, before November 29, 2002, at (570) 826-2589 or in writing to Joe Iannuzzo at the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
If no person registers to present oral comments by November 29, 2002, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, or if the hearing will be held, should contact Joe Iannuzzo.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Joe Iannuzzo or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Submission Date for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grant Applications under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of applications for recycling program grant assistance to municipalities under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (act) (53 P. S. § 4000.902). Municipalities eligible for recycling grants include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. Authorities, councils of governments, or other municipal organizations are not eligible to apply for the grants, but may be sponsored by a municipality.
Eligible grant applications will be limited to those seeking funding for the collection and or processing of source-separated food scraps, leaf and yard waste (organics).
Applicants must be in compliance with the provisions of Act 101 and the implementing regulations to be eligible to receive grant funding. At a minimum, those communities mandated to recycle under Act 101 must have enacted an ordinance that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
a. A requirement for the separation of leaf waste (as defined by the act) from MSW by residents of homes and apartments.
b. A requirement for the separation of leaf waste from MSW by commercial, municipal and institutional establishments.
c. A curbside collection system for leaf waste operating at least seasonally.
d. Provisions to ensure compliance with the ordinance.
e. Provisions for the recycling of collected materials.
In addition, mandated municipalities must conduct a recycling education program that notifies all persons occupying every residential, commercial, municipal and institutional establishment within its borders of the requirements of the ordinance. This must be conducted at least once every 6 months. Mandated municipalities may not allow organics identified by ordinance to be burned or disposed.
For communities not mandated to recycle, assurance must be given that organics targeted for collection will be diverted to the recycling program. Ordinances or regulations that allow for the burning of these materials must be amended to exclude organics before grant funds can be awarded. Applicants must be in compliance concerning the annual reporting of materials recycled and any previous grant contract provisions. County applicants should be in compliance with planning and other county-related provisions of the act.
Municipalities are eligible for 90% funding of approved organics recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the Financial Distressed Communities Act (P. L. 246, No. 47 ) are eligible for 100% of approved costs. No applicant may request more than $300,000 in grant funding.
Projects eligible for grant funding are those that divert the following recyclable materials from municipal solid waste: source-separated food scraps and leaf and yard wastes (organics). Grant funding for projects collecting and/or processing source-separated food scraps, leaf and yard waste will be prioritized in the following order:
a. When implemented, will increase the amount of organics recovered from the previous year of record.
b. Implemented by a municipality in which the affected community is mandated to participate.
c. Implemented cooperatively by two or more municipalities.
d. The level of recycling education exceeds the requirements of section 1501(d) of the act for all persons occupying residential, commercial, institutional and municipal premises.
Eligible recycling program development costs include: organics recycling program design costs; organics recycling market investigations; development of organics recycling market commitments; development of organics recycling program ordinances; developing of organics recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts for procuring equipment or services necessary for the operation of the organics recycling program.
Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: purchasing or leasing vehicles used to collect organics, transport organics to processing facilities or markets and vehicles used in the operation of a composting facility; reusable containers for the collection or storage of organics; acquiring and/or renovating buildings for the processing or storage of recovered materials; equipment used to process or manufacture organics into usable products; improvements to land needed to operate an organics composting facility authorized under 25 Pa. Code § 103(h); and the costs associated with educating the public on the organics recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audio-visual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages'' and school or special event programs. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.
Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the organics recycling program that are used for recycling and other purposes will be prorated according to its recycling use. Funding for certain leaf and yard waste collection equipment may be limited according to its seasonal use. Funding for wood chipping equipment will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines and where the material is collected curbside from residents. Funding of street sweepers for the purpose of leaf collection will not be considered.
Funding may be restricted in situations where equipment or services requested through a grant application may be available from the public or private sector within the county of the applicant. Public notices may be required before the grant application may be submitted depending upon the nature of the funding request. When the municipality submits the recycling grant application to the Department, it must include proof of compliance with the notification requirements, a description of any responses received to the notice and an explanation of why the municipality has concluded the mechanical processing equipment is not available to the program from the private sector.
Potential applicants must contact the appropriate Department Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator to schedule a preapplication conference to discuss application requirements and program particulars. Applications will be returned to municipalities which fail to schedule preapplication conferences. Grant application forms are available from Department regional offices and the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us (direct LINK ''Recycling'').
Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. on January 24, 2003. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with two copies submitted to the appropriate Department Regional Office and one copy submitted to the appropriate County Recycling Coordinator. Grant awards will be predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of the act and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.
