PA0253693, Sewage, East Conemaugh Borough, 355 First Street, East Conemaugh Borough, PA 15909. This application is for issuance of an NPDES permit to discharge combined sewage from a combined sewer outfall in East Conemaugh Borough, Cambria County.
The Railroad Street outfall serves as a combined sewer overflow which may discharge to a UNT of the Little Conemaugh River receiving water. Discharges from this outfall are necessitated by stormwater entering the sewer system and exceeding the hydraulic capacity of the sewers and/or the treatment plant and are permitted to discharge only for such reason. At this time, there are no specific numeric effluent limitations on the outfall's discharges. Each discharge shall be monitored for cause, frequency, duration and quantity of flow.
Other Conditions: In accordance with a Consent Order and Agreement entered into by East Conemaugh Borough and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), East Conemaugh Borough has notified the Department that its plan for the long-term management of its combined sewer overflow discharges is to construct a new sanitary-only collector sewer system, exclude all wet weather flow related inflow sources from the new collector sewer system and property lateral sewer system and cease all wet weather related sanitary sewage discharges upon completion of the sewer separation proposal. The existing sewer collection system will be converted to a strictly stormwater-only conveyance system. A task identification and implementation schedule and post-construction compliance monitoring requirement is included in the permit with LTCP completion required within 3 years following permit effective date.
The EPA waiver is in effect.

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.

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. 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 above 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.

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.

Buffalo Mills, PA 15534Bedford Plan Description: The proposed Official Plan revision consists of a 12 lot single-family residential subdivision which would be served by individual onlot sewage disposal systems and individual water supplies. The proposed development is located along Teaberry Hollow Road.
The plan was disapproved for the following reasons:
1. Planning needs to be addressed for all lots in the subdivision, the Plot Plan shows that what is being called the residue lot is not one contiguous parcel. All stand alone lots need to have individual planning requirements addressed.
2. The Plot Plan does not show the percolation holes associated with the soil pit test.
3. Lot 8 shows 3 soil pit locations, when there is only information supplied for two test pits and a conversation with the SEO (Kim Corle) confirmed that only two test pits were conducted at this site.
4. The module did not contain a checklist signed by the township representative.
5. The module did not include a Transmittal letter.
6. The module did not contain a Resolution of Adoption.
7. The module did not contain Component 4 and any additional comments sheets from the county planning commission.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
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
Special Public Notice NPDES Permit No. PA0027235-A1. On May 1, 2007, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued a permit to Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority for the discharge of treated sewage to the Delaware River. On May 29, 2007, Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority filed an appeal of NPDES Permit No. PA0027235 to the Environmental Hearing Board. Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority's appeal asserts, among other things, that the Department committed error by mandating an effluent limit for Whole Effluent Toxicity that may become effective in the fourth year of the permit term. After negotiation with representatives of the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority, the Department and the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority entered into a stipulation of settlement whereby the Department agreed to reissue NPDES Permit No. PA0027235 without the requirement for the Whole Effluent Toxicity effluent limit to become effective in the fourth year of the permit. The stipulation of settlement also requires the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority to conduct a mixing study concerning its discharge that will be submitted to the Department for review and consideration.
The Department hereby notices NPDES Permit No. PA0027235-A1 for public comment. The Department shall consider any comments submitted during the 30 day comment period in deciding whether to reissue NPDES Permit No. PA0027235-A1 in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Report for the Beech Creek Watershed in Clearfield County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Beech Creek Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held in conjunction with the Beech Creek Watershed Meeting on October 20, 2008, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Beech Creek Borough Building located at 51 Locust Street, Beech Creek, PA 16822. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact John Mital at the Moshannon District Mining Office at (814) 342-8200 no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, October 17, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Beech Creek Watershed, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Beech Creek Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the Beech Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania section 303(d) list, primarily due to acid mine drainage pollution resulting in depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Name Stream Code Miles Degraded Beech Creek 22596 26 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:
Criterion Total Recoverable/ Parameter value (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA 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 to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation 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 Beech Creek Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Beech Creek 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 Beech Creek Watershed. All written comments must be postmarked by December 4, 2008, and sent to:

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Crooked Creek Watershed in Armstrong and Indiana Counties Cambria District Mining Office: 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is accepting comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Several stream segments in the Crooked Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to suspended solids; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The 1996 listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 46216 UNT to Connoquenessing Creek 6.2 There currently are no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation or suspended solids. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the UNT to Connoquenessing Creek Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
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 Travis Stoe at (717)772-2284 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 400 Market Street, 10th Floor RCSOB, Harrisburg, PA 17105.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by December 3, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Narrows Creek Watershed in Clearfield and Elk Counties Moshannon District Mining Office: 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on October 20, 2008, beginning at 10 a.m. at the Moshannon District Office in Ebensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Narrows Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 48834 Narrows Creek 5.5 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion Total Recoverable/ Parameter value (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation 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 in 2007.
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 Scott Heidel at (717) 787-1421 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Rachel Carson State Office Building, 10th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. E-mail will be received at jeorr@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 web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by December 4, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. Monday, October 20, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
