LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 1
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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Richard Maxwell, New Source Review Chief, (570) 327-3637.
17-305-050A: Penfield Collieries, LLC (301 Market Street, Kittanning, PA 16201) for construction of coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations at an existing bituminous coal preparation facility near Penfield in Huston Township, Clearfield County.
The proposed stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operation will consist of two radial stacking conveyors, various other conveyors, an underground reclaim and a railcar loading chute. The operation will process only coal which has first been processed through a wet preparation plant so all coal will have a moisture content of at least 5%. This inherent moisture content will help prevent fugitive PM from being emitted. Additional fugitive PM control will be provided by loading all railcars with a flood loading technique, by the use of partial conveyor covers and by use of the plant's water truck, as needed. The construction of the proposed stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations is expected to increase the facility's emission of PM by no more than 10.7 tons per year, of which no more than 4.8 tons per year will be PM10.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Penfield Collieries, LLC indicates that the proposed coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2, the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart Y of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.250--60.254. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. All conditions of Plan Approval 17-305-050 remain in effect unless superseded or modified by a condition contained herein.
2. No coal may be stockpiled onsite unless it has either been processed through the facility's wet preparation plant or will be processed through said plant prior to removal from the site.
3. All clean coal stockpiled onsite shall be placed onto stockpiles with radial stacking conveyors. The freefall distance from the end of these stacking conveyors to the top of the stockpile shall be maintained at 5 or less feet at all times.
4. All conveyors shall be equipped with either partial enclosures or full enclosures. If, at any time, partial enclosures are determined by the Department to be inadequate for controlling fugitive PM emissions, full enclosures shall be installed.
5. The water truck required by Plan Approval 17-305-050 shall be used, as needed, to control fugitive particulate matter from stockpiles, roadways, and the like, in the stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations area.
6. All coal loaded into railcars shall be loaded using a flood loading technique. Front end loaders shall not be used to load railcars.
7. Trucks may be loaded with front end loaders, but only if the front end loader bucket-to-truck bed height is kept to a minimum at all times and only if the moisture content of the coal being loaded if 5% or greater.
8. All coal placed onto the stockpiles incorporated into the coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations shall have a moisture content of at least 5% as shall all coal removed from the stockpiles and loaded into railcars and trucks. The permittee shall demonstrate compliance with this requirement by sampling and analyzing the coal for moisture content in accordance with ASTM D3302-02ae1 at a frequency to be specified by the Department.
9. Records shall be maintained of:
a. The total number of tons of coal delivered to the facility each month.
b. The number of tons of coal loaded directly into railcars from the wet preparation plant each month using the clean coal conveyor and railcar loading chute currently associated with the wet preparation plant.
c. The number of tons of coal loaded into railcars from the clean coal stockpiling operation each month using the new railcar loading chute associated with the clean coal stock piling operation as well as the portion of this amount, if any, that was not first processed through the wet preparation plant.
d. The number of tons of coal loaded into trucks each month as well as the portion of this amount, if any, that was not first processed through the wet preparation plant.
e. The results of all coal moisture analyses performed.
All records shall be retained for at least 5 years and made available to the Department upon request.
12-399-007H: GKN Sinter Metals, Inc. (P. O. Box 493, Emporium, PA 15834-0493) for construction of two powdered metal parts sintering furnaces in Plant 2, 227 Barton Street, Emporium Borough, Cameron County.
The proposed sintering furnaces will be used to sinter parts made of various metal powders. Heat will be provided by electricity and the combustion of natural gas. The PM emissions from the proposed furnaces will be controlled by a fabric collector. The proposed furnaces are expected to emit no more than .58 ton of NOx, .082 ton of CO, .018 ton of VOCs and .026 ton of PM per year.
The Department's review of the information submitted by GKN Sinter Metals, Inc. indicates that the proposed sintering furnaces will comply with all air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the PM emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 and the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed sintering furnaces.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. All conditions of Operating Permit 12-399-0007G remain in effect unless superseded or modified by a condition contained herein.
2. The PM emissions from the sintering furnaces shall be controlled by an existing Aeropulse PR-380-12-H-Y fabric collector at all times the furnaces are processing parts or at any time a sintering furnace stack is being cleaned.
3. The metal powders used to make the parts processed through the sintering furnaces shall not contain more than a combined total of 1.75% (by weight) zinc stearate and Acrawax (or equivalent nonmetal-bearing lubricant).
4. Furnace temperatures shall be monitored and shall not be allowed to exceed 2,500°F.

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.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Certified Emission Reduction Credits in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of NOx, VOCs and the following criteria pollutants: CO, lead, SOx, PM, PM10 and PM10 precursors.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC registry applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:
(1) To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements.
(2) To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities.
(3) To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.
The following certified ERCs, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or the EPA.
For additional information concerning the listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325. This ERC registry report, ERC registry application and instructions are on the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (Subjects/Air Quality/Business/Permits/Emission Reduction Credit Registry System).

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed in Clearfield County Moshannon District Mining Office: 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200.
The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held on November 17, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, Daisy Street, Clearfield, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office, (814) 342-8200 by 4 p.m. on Monday, November 15, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 26216 (7174) North Branch Upper
Morgan Run
2.7 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by December 29, 2004, and sent to John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, contact John Mital.
The proposed TMDL for the North Branch Upper Morgan Run Watershed can be accessed through the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meting should contact the Department at (814) 472-1900 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Little Schuylkill River, West Branch Schuylkill River, Muddy Branch Creek and Mill Creek in the Upper Schuylkill River Watershed in Schuylkill County Pottsville District Mining Office: Mike Hill, Geologic Specialist, 5 West Laurel Boulevard, Pottsville, PA 17901.
The Department is holding a public meeting on November 16, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill County Agricultural Center, Pottsville, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Four stream segments in the Upper Schuylkill River Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to metals, other inorganics and pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 02202 Little Schuylkill River 2.5 02202 Little Schuylkill River 3.2 02202 Little Schuylkill River 2.4 02329 West Branch Schuylkill River 9 02336 Muddy Branch Creek 3.5 02353 Mill Creek 5.5 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals, other inorganics and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion Value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/Dissolved Aluminum (Al) 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron (Fe) 1.50 30-day average; Total Manganese (Mn) 1.00 Total Recoverable pH * 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal. The effects of this are still present. Allocations made in the TMDLs are load allocations that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations that are made to point sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using MCS to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over the past 10 years.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Mike Hill, 5 West Laurel Boulevard, Pottsville, PA 17901, (570) 621-3118, mihill@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by January 15, 2004. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by November 10, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
