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.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office 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 a 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 publication 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. Comments or protests filed with the 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

25-179A: Erie City Sewer Authority (68 Port Access Road, Erie, PA 16507) for authorization to cease operation of the afterburners as a control device associated with their sewage sludge incinerators in the City of Erie, Erie County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Plan Approval, No. 25-179A, for their wastewater treatment plant in City of Erie, Erie County. This plan approval will authorize the applicant to cease operation of the afterburners as a control device associated with their sewage sludge incinerators as described in the applicant's application of June 14, 2007, with addendums dated July 26, 2007, and August 16, 2007. The Plan Approval will subsequently be incorporated into the company's Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and the Department's own analysis, operation of the afterburner is not a necessary control device needed to keep emissions below the permit limits established in the Title V Operating Permit. The Erie Sewer Authority provided a detailed BAT analysis on operating and not operating the afterburner. The analysis determined that while the afterburners do control THC emissions these emission are maintained below 100 ppm, as established in 40 CFR Part 503, without operating the afterburner. The economic analysis of the BAT also showed that operating the afterburner would cost about $326,000 per year. The cost of not operating the afterburner would be zero. The facility will still be subject to all restriction, testing, monitoring and recordkeeping requirements of the Title V Operating Permit not applicable to afterburner operation.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation are available for public inspection between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at the address shown. To make an appointment, contact Records Management at (814) 332-6340 for an appointment.
Anyone wishing to provide the Department with additional information they believe should be considered may submit the information to the address shown. Comments must be received, by the Department, within 30 days of the last day of publication. Written comments should include the following:
1. Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting comments.
2. Identification of the proposed Plan Approval; No. 25-179A.
3. Concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or any objections to issuance of the Plan Approval.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted on the comments received during the public comment period. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in a local newspaper of general circulation or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to John Guth, Regional Air Quality Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6940.

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.

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.

Plan Approval 67-05083 was originally issued on January 5, 2007. The plan approval has been modified as follows:
Fuel Oil Sulfur Content
The liquid distillate fuel oil fired in the combustion turbines is required to be ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm (as defined by ASTM Standard D975 Table 1). The original air quality modeling was done using low sulfur diesel (0.05 wt% S) and predicted possible impacts on the Class I areas during firing of fuel oil. A plan approval condition had been included to limit maximum daily fuel oil firing to prevent visibility impacts at the Class I areas. The requirement to use ULSD (0.0015 wt% S) allows increased daily firing of fuel oil. The daily maximum fuel oil firing limits have been changed to reflect the use of ULSD. The annual limit for oil-fired operation has not changed.
40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines
The requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK had been incorporated into the plan approval. The NOx limit for natural gas firing was incorrectly designated as 25 ppm and has now been corrected to 15 ppm. The NOx limits in the plan approval modification are as follows:
Fuel type NOx Emission Limit Natural Gas 15 ppm at 15% O2 or 0.43 lb/MW-hr of useful output Oil 42 ppm at 15% O2 or 1.3 lb/MW-hr of useful output Ammonia Slip
The 5 ppmvd 1-hour limit restriction in the plan approval has been replaced with a 5 ppmvd 24-hour rolling block average and a 7 ppmvd 3-hour rolling block average, volume corrected to 15% oxygen. Conectiv is proposing to use a continuous emissions monitor to ensure compliance with the ammonia slip limit.
EMISSIONS TESTING Section E, SG01, Condition No. 018 has been revised as follows:
Within 60 days after achieving the maximum firing rate, but not later than 180 days after start-up and, if warranted and requested by the Department based on the results of initial testing, each subsequent year of temporary operation thereafter, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with each of the emission limits established in Conditions No. 001, No. 002, No. 009 and No. 010 above and opacity, as per 25 Pa. Code Chapter 139, 40 CFR Part 60 and Title IV.
Further testing will be required in the operating permit. The schedule will be determined based on the emissions testing and CEM data collected during temporary operation.
SUBPART GG Subpart GG has been replaced by the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK. Section E, Condition No. 026 has been revised to remove reference to Subpart GG.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed in Butler and Venango Counties The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed in Venango and Butler Counties. The meeting will be held on October 30, 2007, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDL was developed in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. § 691.303(d)). Thirty-nine segments in the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (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 late 19th and to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. Most of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution; however, there are several allocations made to permitted mining operations in the watershed.
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 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 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 5 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 Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The proposed TMDL for the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed can be accessed through the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us, by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field and clicking GO.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by December 5, 2007. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. on Monday October 29, 2007. 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 the Leatherwood Creek and Town Run Watersheds in Clarion County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Leatherwood Creek and Town Run Watersheds in Clarion County. The meetings will be held on October 30, 2007, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDLs were developed in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Streams Act, (35 P.S. § 691.303(d)). Four stream segments in the Leatherwood Creek Watershed and eight stream segments in the Town Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals.

The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (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 watersheds are abandoned mine workings. These watersheds were mined for coal in the early to the mid 20th centuries and surface coal mining continues on a small scale today. Most of the allocations made in these TMDLs are to nonpoint sources of pollution; however, there is one allocation for a future mining operation.
These TMDLs were 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 TMDLs.
These TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watersheds. The basis of information used in the establishment of these TMDLs is field data collected over the past 2 years.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Office, White Memorial Building, P. O.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BMS) has approved Emerald Coal Resources LP's request for a variance from the requirements of section 268(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (53 P.S. §§ 701-101--701-706) at the Emerald 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 Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 430-4475 or from the BMS web site at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp
Summary of the Request: Emerald Coal Resources LP requests a variance to extend shelter holes at the Emerald Mine.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. All employees, contractors, inspectors, visitors and the like, shall be adequately trained and instructed concerning shelter hole guidelines and safety procedures prior to entering Emerald Mine. This training shall become a part of the annual retraining, task training and hazard training.
2. Prior to each longwall move, the safety precautions for use of shelter holes will be reviewed with all personnel in short safety/training meetings. A record of these safety contacts will be maintained.
3. The District Mine Inspector must approve any system employed to control pedestrian or track haulage equipment movement prior to implementation of that system.
4. The investigating committee recommends that established load limits be posted on each piece of haulage equipment.
5. The investigating committee recommends that equipment operators use hand held radios to communicate while operating equipment.
6. Where haulage grades are excessive and the possibility exists for runaway equipment, a signal block light system is recommended to prevent more than one trip or pedestrians and haulage equipment from being in the same area at the same time.
Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the following plan and the following conditions.
1. All employees will be notified explaining the approved extended shelter plan by means of a safety talk.
2. Signs shall be posted stating that the shelter holes are now 184` apart and in excess of 80`.
3. To provide safety for personnel walking in this entry, all transportation (jeeps, portal busses, motors and the like) will immediately stop when observing personnel walking and allow them time to get into the nearest crosscut before proceeding. The equipment operator shall sound an alarm when personnel are encountered.
4. Haulage equipment shall be maintained in a safe operating condition with safety features functioning as designed and approved.
5. A means of identifying shelter hole locations shall be provided. A reflective indicator/marker must be visible from the track haulage travelway. This will give persons walking along the travelway a perception of how far they must travel to reach a shelter hole. Markers shall be the same color and design at each location through the extended shelter hole areas.
6. Shelter holes shall be maintained at all switch throws and doors that do not fall within 15` of a crosscut. No people will be located in areas where manholes must be cut to comply with this plan.
7. Crosscuts which serve as shelter holes shall be maintained free of obstructions and debris, other than normal roof to ground support. Clearance must be maintained for a depth of at least 15` and rib to rib.
8. Supply cars and equipment shall be pulled by an approved vehicle in the direction of travel. When it is necessary to push nonpropelled track equipment (supply cars, and the like) the vehicle operator must have an unobstructed view of the track haulage. A flashing light or audible warning device shall be mounted on the end of the train/trip which is being pushed. An employee will accompany the trip placing himself inby and out of harms way in order to provide for a clear travelway to the end of the track.
9. Workmen performing tasks along the track haulage roads shall be provided with flashing warning devices (lights). These devices shall be placed not more than 100` from each work site and in clear view of haulage equipment.
10. All employees and persons entering Emerald Mine shall be adequately trained and instructed concerning shelter hole procedures and safety procedures and safety precautions. This shall include all visitors, workers, employees, contractors, inspectors and the like. Training shall be part of annual retraining and hazardous training.
