S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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.

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.

11-00332 Cambria Cogen Company (243 Rubisch Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931), In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.441, 127.425, and 127.521, the Department is providing notice of intent to issue a Title V Operating Permit for the continued operation of a waste coal-fired power plant, known as the Cambria Generation Facility, located in Cambria Township, Cambria County.
The facility is a waste coal-fired electrical power plant. The main sources at this facility are two (2) circulating fluidized bed (CFB) waste coal-fired boilers (Source IDs 031 and 032), with maximum fuel heat inputs of 630 MMBtus/hour, each, which power a single electrical generator. Net electrical output from the twin boiler system is 87-MW. Emissions from the CFB boilers are controlled by limestone fed into the fluidized bed to control sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, low combustion temperatures and selective non-catalytic reduction systems (SNCR) to control NOx emissions, coarse particulate cyclone separation with reinjection into the bed, followed by fabric filters to control PM emissions and further control SO2 emissions. Collection of SO2 and acid gases, including hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, by calcium in the limestone, takes place in the boiler and downstream system. Supporting equipment at this site includes one, 98.38 MMBtus/hour, auxiliary NG-fired boiler, one, 210-bhp, emergency diesel firepump engine, coal and limestone processing, handling, and conveying equipment, an ash handling system, and plant roads.
This facility has the potential to emit the following type and quantity of pollutants: 4,871 tons of SO2, 1,475 tons of NOx, 736 tons of CO, 178 tons of PM10, 127 tons of PM2.5, 9 tons of VOC, 147.2 tons of the sum of all HAPs, including 143.8 tons of hydrochloric acid and 1.2 tons of hydrofluoric acid and 13.3 pounds of mercury per year and 1,100,921 tons of CO2e. Sources at the facility are subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Db—Standards of Performance for Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, Subpart Dc—Standards of Performance for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units, Subpart Y, Standards of Performance for Coal Preparation and Processing Plants, and Subpart OOO—Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants and 40 CFR, Part 63—Subpart ZZZZ—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines, Subpart DDDDD—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters, and Subpart UUUUU—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Pollutants for Coal- and Oil-fired Electric Steam Utility Steam Generating Units, as well as 40 CFR 64, Part 64—Compliance Assurance Monitoring, Trading Rule Provisions of 40 CFR 72—77 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.531, Acid Rain Provisions of 40 CFR 72—77, CSAPR of 40 CFR Part 97 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.531, and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145. No equipment or emission changes are being approved by this action. The permit includes emission limitations and operational, monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, workpractice, and reporting requirements for the facility.
DEP also intends to issue an Acid Rain Permit for this site. The CFB Boilers were previously exempt from the Acid Rain Program. The Title IV Permit is included by reference in the Title V Operating Permit renewal. Because the CFB Boilers were constructed after the time period for operation used to establish the SO2 allocation baseline, Cambria Cogen receives no SO2 credits by allocation. For these ARP Opt-in units, the owners of the facility must purchase SO2 credits to offset emissions.
Cambria Cogen Company's Title V Operating Permit renewal application, the Department's Air Quality Review Memorandum, and the proposed Air Quality Title V Operating Permit for this project are available for review by any interested party at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Any person may submit comments, requests for the Department to hold a public hearing, or protests to the operating permit or a proposed condition thereof, by filing such submissions in writing to the Department at the Southwest Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments.
All comments, requests for a public hearing, and protests to a proposed action, shall be filed with the Department within 30 days of the date that notice of the proposed action was published under 25 Pa. Code § 127.424 (relating to public notice).

If a public hearing is held, all persons who have properly filed a protest under 25 Pa. Code § 127.426 may appear and give testimony. The applicant, the protestant and other participants will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing (and the time, place and purpose of such hearing) by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification by telephone is sufficient.

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.

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.

Public Notice of First Amendment to Consent
Order and AgreementRosebud Mining Company and St. Michael
Land CompanySt. Michael Abandoned Mine Drainage
Treatment Facility,
Adams Township, Cambria CountyCalifornia District Office: 25 Technology Drive, Coal Center, PA 15423, 724-769-1100
The Department of Environmental Protection, Rosebud Mining Company (''Rosebud'') and St. Michael Land Company, Inc., (''SMLC'') have entered into a First Amendment to the December 5, 2012 Consent Order and Agreement between those parties.
On December 5, 2012, the Department, Rosebud, and SMLC entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (''2012 COA'') in which Rosebud agreed to finance, construct, and operate a treatment facility (''St. Michael Treatment Facility'') to treat, inter alia, previously untreated abandoned mine discharges from a large underground mine pool known as the Berwind Mine Pool for which neither Rosebud nor SMLC had any legal obligation to treat but which allowed Rosebud to mine additional coal reserves at Rosebud's Mine 78 in Paint Township, Cambria County.
Since that time, Rosebud has constructed and tested the St. Michael Treatment Facility and is now operating it; commenced Active Mining Operations consistent with the provisions of the 2012 COA and Rosebud's Coal Mining Activity Permit (''CMAP'') No. 56841328; and signed the Participation Agreement and made the initial One Million Dollar ($1,000,000) payment into the Trust.
There are additional coal reserves in the Upper Freeport coal seam at Mine 78 that could potentially be mined in the future if Rosebud applies for and the Department approves a modification, renewal or revision to CMAP No. 56841328 to authorize such mining.
Rosebud has asked, and the Department has agreed, to modify the 2012 COA to include the Upper Freeport coal seam to ensure that the liability limitations in the 2012 COA apply to Rosebud's mining of the Upper Freeport coal seam at Mine 78.
Copies of the full amendment are in the hands of California District Mining Office, 25 Technology Drive, California Technology Park, Coal Center, PA 15423, Phone 724-769-1100. The amendment may be reviewed by any interested party on request during normal business hours.
