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 AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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 non-residential 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.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Parkwood Resources, Inc's request for a variance from the requirements of Section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Cherry Tree Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau's website: www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: Parkwood Resources, Inc. requested a variance from section 242(c) of the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Cherry Tree Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The Pyott-Boone 9500 CO Monitoring System will provide advance warning of a developing mine fire originating in the conveyor belt entry. When maintained and operating correctly, this system provides warnings much earlier than the point type heat sensors.
2. Common entries would permit the larger section mantrip and scoops access to belt entry for transportation of personnel and supplies.
3. The operator will maintain a separate isolated intake escapeway that is at a higher air pressure than the belt and common entries.
4. The plan provides for the common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway. There will be a total of three separate, isolated escape routes.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) of the act requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) of the act shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the plan and the following conditions:
1. All mine employees shall be task trained in the Pyott Boone Model 9500 CO monitoring system alert and alarm response procedures. These procedures shall also be included in the 8-hour annual retraining.
2. As part of the requirements of section 228 of the act, all belt entries, common entries and unfenced roadways shall be preshifted in their entirety.
3. A preshift date board should be placed at each CO sensor location.
4. Designated areas shall be established (with approval from the District Inspector) at strategic locations along the belt entry and common entries to determine whether the air is traveling in the proper course and normal volume. This air reading shall be taken by a scientific means (anemometer, chemical smoke tube, velometer) and recorded in the preshift examination record book.
5. The investigative committee shall conduct an underground ventilation survey when the belt and common entries are established to verify pressure differential between the intake escapeway and the common entries.
6. The investigative committee shall evaluate the visual and audible alarms during the installation process.
7. A list of designated surface personnel shall be forwarded to the District Inspector upon activation of the CO Monitoring System. Copies of the task training records shall also be forwarded to the District Inspector.
8. The investigators shall interview supervisory and nonsupervisory personnel upon commencement of mining operations.
9. The operator must ascertain whether or not the belt compounds used in the mine produce CO when burnt. Should the operator use a non-CO producing compound in the mine, additional sensors must be used in conjunction with the CO detectors to provide the early warning benefits of the monitoring system.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Wyomissing Creek in Berks County Southcentral Region: Water Supply Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110
The Department will accept comments on the proposed sediment TMDL developed for a Wyomissing Creek watershed in southcentral Berks County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Commonwealth's 1996-303(d) list included stream segments in the watershed. Current use impairments are due to siltation from urban and residential runoff and storm sewers.
The proposed TMDL sets allowable sediment loadings in the watershed. There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The sediment loading was allocated among MS4 areas and all land use categories present in the remaining portions of the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading for the Wyomissing Creek watershed covered by the TMDL. Overall load reductions necessary meet the TMDL are also identified.
Summary of TMDL-Based Load Reductions in the Wyomissing Creek Watershed
Watershed Pollutant Existing Load (lbs/yr) TMDL (lbs/yr) Reduction Wyomissing Creek Sediment 10,553,976 6,329,495 40% The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact Joseph Hepp, Water Management Program, SCRO, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, jhepp@.state.pa.us.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by November 23, 2004. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on October 25, 2004, at 7 p.m. in the Shillington Municipal Building, located in the Shillington Memorial Park, off of E. Broad Street, Shillington, PA.
