PAG123578, CAFO, Jay L. Hess, Bacon Acres, 2615 Main Street, Conestoga, PA 17516. This proposed facility is in Conestoga Township, Lancaster County.
Description of Size and Scope of Proposed Operation/Activity: Bacon Acres consists of two swine finishing barns with a total capacity of 3,200 finishing hogs. There is also a small beef cow/calf herd on the farm. Hog Barn No. 1 (upper barn), constructed in 1984, has a shallow pit manure storage with pull plugs that flows into a 1.3-millon gallon (140 feet by 116 feet by 12 feet) outside earthern lagoon. Barn No. 2 (lower barn), constructed in 1995, has deep pit manure storages underneath the barn's slatted floors and has a holding capacity of 230,000 gallons (183 feet by 40 feet by 6 feet). In 2002, both barns (Bacon Acres No. 1 and No. 2) were remodeled and additional manure storage pits were added to the ends of each barn. The additional storages were certified at the time of construction by a P. E. certified engineer. Approximately 1,845,932 gallons of manure is generated annually by this operation, most of which is exported off the farm to neighboring farmers. All the beef cow/calf manure is utilized on the farm. There are approximately 78 acres of total cropland (both owned and rented) that are eligible to receive manure associated with this operation. Liquid swine manure is applied on the farm in the spring and fall of the year and exported off the farm in the spring to fall months.
The receiving stream, UNT to Pequea Creek, is in watershed 7K-Pequea Creek and classified for CWF.

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 after 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.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Dana Mining Company of PA, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Titus 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, (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau website (http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/ dms/dms.htm).
Summary of the Request: Dana Mining Company of PA, Inc. requested a variance from section 224(b) of the act to utilize horizontal longhole drilling to meet the requirements of act at the Titus Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224(b) of the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The long horizontal borehole method proposed instead of the requirements in section 224 of the act is a proven technology that has been used successfully at other underground mines in this Commonwealth.
2. The long horizontal borehole method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides much less exposure to lifting and strain-type injuries by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to fewer equipment place changes rather than mining the entries 8 feet at a time.
3. The long horizontal borehole proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224(b) of the act will provide a greater barrier than required by section 224(b) of the act. Titus Mine's proposed long horizontal borehole method provides a larger barrier for the protection of the miners and mine from contacting abandoned mines over the requirements of section 224(b) of the act.
4. The accuracy of longhole drilling technology currently in use by contractors such as Target Drilling and REI Drilling is one degree from surveyed position. This corresponds to a variance of up to 17 feet per 1,000 feet drilled. The maximum vertical declination is 0.1 degree from surveyed position. Previous drilling has also proved the vertical declination. The accuracy of the longhole drill proposed at Titus Mine is 1/2 degree from surveyed position. This equals a variance of 4.4 feet at 500 feet borehole depth.
This approval is limited to the alternate method to drill test holes as required in section 224(b) of the act. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Titus Mine's plan and the following stipulations.
1. Change the projected azimuth of the proposed drillhole no. 3 to tighten the distance between drillhole nos. 3 and 4.
2. The actual surveyed locations must be plotted on the Titus Mine map and submitted to the Bureau for its review and approval that sufficient barriers will be left. Mining shall not occur within 200 feet of the boreholes without the Bureau's approval that the proposed mining will leave sufficient barriers.
