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.

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--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.
Where 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Prompt Interim Response Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response to provide vapor mitigation systems to certain residences in the vicinity of the Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company Site (Site).
The Site is located at 210 Stevens Road, York Haven, Newberry Township, York County, PA, immediately adjacent to Interstate 83. The Site is located in a rural area and is surrounded by residential, commercial and light industrial land use. Industrial Solvents Chemical Company (ISSC) was a former chemical product distributor and solvent recycling facility. The 9-acre site was a solvent reprocessing facility from 1979 until the Department revoked ISCC's operating permit in August 1989. The operator abandoned the facility in 1990 after declaring bankruptcy. Many documented releases occurred during operation of the facility. Over 600,000 gallons of waste in aboveground tanks and approximately 6,700 drums of waste were abandoned at the Site. The onsite soil and on- and off-site groundwater are contaminated with VOCs.
The Department conducted an interim response to stabilize conditions at the Site beginning in August 1990. In October 1991, the Site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priorities List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response. A responsible party group, the ISCC Steering Committee, formed in August 1993, signed a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) to conduct the waste characterization. Under additional COAs the responsible party group has removed all containerized waste from the Site and provided public water service to residences impacted above Health Standards by March 1997.
The Statement of Decision for the final response was signed in August 1998. The response included alternate water supplies for impacted residences to provide for future protectiveness, eliminate direct contact threats on Site, reduce the migration of groundwater contamination off the Site and treat surface water throughout the area of the groundwater contamination plume. The Site was removed from the Pennsylvania Priority List on October 31, 1998. Work on the final extension of the existing waterline was completed on July 5, 1999. The design for the asphalt cap at the ISCC facility was completed in June 2003 and the remedial response was completed by November 2004. The Department continues to monitor down-gradient residential wells.
The Department's Waste Management Program and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under EPA RCRA Corrective Action Program, conducted an Environmental Indicator Study of the Site and consequently an additional study was conducted for groundwater, indoor air, and subslab soil gas. Based on the information obtained from the studies, chlorinated VOCs were detected in soil vapor samples on and off the Site. Exceedance of the vapor intrusion screening levels for soil vapor was found in the area of the plant property in sampling conducted during April and May of 2005. Indoor air sampling in October 2006 and January 2007 detected indoor air parameters above their respective indoor air standards within three residences in the vicinity of the Site.
The Department considered two alternatives: (1) Institutional controls, no action for vapor intrusion affecting indoor air of residential homes; and (2) Installation of vapor mitigation systems to remove the vapor intrusion pathway and institutional controls. The Department has selected Alternative 2 as the preferred alternative because it is protective, cost effective and mitigates the vapor intrusion threat immediately upon completion. Vapor intrusion will be addressed through site-specific engineering controls consisting of installing vapor mitigation systems to eliminate the route of exposure resulting in an indoor air direct contact or inhalation threat. This is not a final remedial action; further investigation will be conducted to determine the extent of the vapor intrusion threat from the Site.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record which contains information about this Site and which supports the Department's decision to perform these actions at the Site is available for public review and comment. The administrative record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Steve DeMars at (717) 705-4832.
The administrative record will be open for comment from today's date and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding these actions to the Department before January 16, 2009, by mailing them to Steve DeMars at the previous address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the chosen action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for December 11, 2008, at 7 p.m. at the Newberry Township Administration Building, 1915 Old Trail Road, Etters, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing should register before 4 p.m., December 5, 2008, by calling Lauri Lebo at (717) 705-4703. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.
Persons with a disability, who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lauri Lebo at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
