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)(l)(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 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 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 publicaiton 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.
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.

Notice of Intent to Issue a Plan Approval and Amend a Title V Operating Permit In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b) the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to Willamette Industries, Inc., Johnsonburg Mill (100 Center Street, Johnsonburg, PA 15845) in Johnsonburg, Elk County. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan Approval No. 24-315-007A is for defining an alternative SO2 emission limit for the lime kiln when the lime kiln is being used as a back-up control device for the NCG incinerator. This modification will result in an increase in the SO2 emission limit, during the alternative operating scenario, from 9.1 lbs/hour to 66.0 lbs/hour. However, the 39.7 ton/year emission limit defined in Permit No. 24-315-007 shall remain. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will conduct a public hearing to accept testimony concerning the Department's decision to approve, with conditions, the revised Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plans by the following companies:
Ellwood Quality Steels (EQS) (700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101)
North American Forgemasters (NAF) (700 Moravia Street, New Castle, PA 16101)
Ellwood City Forge-New Castle (ECFN) (PO Box 31 Commercial Avenue, Ellwood City, PA 16117).
To meet the requirements under 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 (RACT), concerning the emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from varous air contamination sources. The final RACT proposals will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP).
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in RACT approvals for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to SIP.
The following is a revised summary of the preliminary NOx determination for the above listed facility:

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Proposed Settlement under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Ashland Metals and Giordano Waste Materials HSCA Sites Butler Township, Schuylkill County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of Section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Paul F. and Madeline R. Kerrigan (the Kerrigans). The proposed Consent Order and Agreement concerns settlement of the Department's response costs for the Ashland Metals and the Giordano Waste Materials HSCA sites, both of which are located in Butler Township, Schuylkill County (Sites). The Kerrigans have owned the Ashland Metals Site since June 22, 1970. The Kerrigans owned the Giordano Waste Materials Site from June 22, 1970 until March 24, 1980.
The Ashland Metals Site, which covers approximately 13 acres in area, is the location of a former lead acid battery recycling facility that operated from 1979 to 1986. Several buildings were on the Ashland Metals Site including the former processing building. Waste piles of chopped battery casings, waste acid tanks, and trailers containing whole and chopped battery casings were present. The primary hazardous substance of concern at the Ashland Metals Site is lead. Lead is found in site soils, waste piles, debris, battery casings, onsite containers, and groundwater. During the period June 1 to September 25, 1998 the Department conducted an interim response at the Ashland Metals Site. The response involved the removal of all surface hazardous waste piles of chopped and whole battery casings, ash, tires, building contents, and debris followed by the placement of a soil cover over the site.
The Giordano Site, which covers an area of approximately 7 acres, is the location of a former lead acid battery reclamation facility that was operated from 1978 to 1986. Located on the Giordano Site were a building, piles of ash, and piles of battery casings. The primary hazardous substance of concern at the Giordano Site is lead. Lead is found in surface and subsurface soil, buried waste, and groundwater. The Department has undertaken two interim responses at the Giordano Site. The first response took place from September 5, 1989 to April 27, 1990. That interim response involved the transport and disposal of contaminated battery casings and ash to an appropriate disposal facility. The second response took place from June 7 to October 20, 1997. That response involved the removal of additional surface ash and debris piles, scrap metal, battery casings, building debris and contaminated soil.
The Department has agreed to accept $187,500 in settlement of the Kerrigan's liability for past response costs at the Sites. Additionally, the Kerrigans have agreed to perform future operation and maintenance activities at the Ashland Metals Site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). Section 1113 of HSCA provides that the settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The proposed Consent Decree can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, by contacting Woodrow Cole at (570) 826-2511 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD). A public comment period on the proposed Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. The Department will accept written comments concerning the proposed Consent Order and Agreement until December 20, 2000. Comments concerning the proposed Consent Order and Agreement can be sent to Woodrow Cole at the above address.
