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 any 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 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, or 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)(l)(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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting
For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for Drury Run WatershedThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on November 9, 2000 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Western Clinton Sportsman Association in Clinton County, 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 Drury Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 23620 Drury Run 7.3 23621 Stony Run 1.3 23626 Sandy Run 1.0 23625 Woodley Draft 1.7 The proposed plan provides calculations of stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity) and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Total Criterion Recoverable/ Parameter value (mg/l) Duration Dissolved Aluminum 0.1 of the 96 hour LC 50
0.75Maximum one hour Total recoverable Iron 1.50
0.31 day average maximum Total recoverable dissolved Manganese 1.00 maximum Total recoverable pH 6--9 At all times NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined heavily for coal in the late 19th and to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations (LA) which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
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 field data used to establish this TMDL were collected over the past 34 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 Dr. Charles E. Miller, Jr., Hydrogeologist, Hawk Run District Mining Office, Empire Road, P. O. Box 209, Hawk Run, PA 16840-0209, (814) 342-8200. E-mail will be received at miller.charles@ dep.state.pa.us. Directions to the Western Clinton Sportsman Association meeting place can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed on this Website.
Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by December 7, 2000. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Friday, November 2, 2000. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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 Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (Act). 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 reuse 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor 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.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices 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 the 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. Any 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 to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants
under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA)The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) hereby announces the availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA). Under the Department Brownfields Inventory Grant program the Department will provide grants to municipalities and economic development agencies to inventory the brownfield properties in their areas. If these brownfield properties are available for redevelopment, the Grantee will gather information about infrastructure, suspected or confirmed environmental contamination, and other related information. The Grantee will then list the site on the PA SiteFinder (formerly the Pennsylvania Brownfields Directory).
This is the fourth round of grants under the Department Brownfields Inventory Grant program. Under this round of grants the Department will consider grants to inventory brownfields sites in any county that was not covered by a grant under the previous three rounds and to fulfill the expiring round one grants. The following counties have not been addressed under the previous rounds of grants and will be considered under this fourth round: Bradford, Carbon, Clarion, Delaware, Fayette, Forest, Franklin, Jefferson, Lebanon, Monroe, Pike, Sullivan, Tioga, Venango, Warren, Wayne, Wyoming.
Municipalities and economic development agencies may apply to the Department for these grants by submitting an application. A copy of the application package can be obtained by calling the Department Land Recycling and Cleanup Program (717) 783-7816 or the application package can be downloaded from the Department internet web site at: www.dep.state.pa.us. Grant applications for this round of grants must be received by the Department on or before November 15, 2000. If the grant is approved, the Grantee will be paid $1,000 for each brownfield site that is identified and entered into the PA SiteFinder. Grants are limited to $50,000.
The Brownfields Inventory Grants will be issued under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304). The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act authorizes the Department to investigate and assess potential releases of hazardous substances. This includes collecting information concerning sites that are potentially contaminated with hazardous substances and that may need assessment or cleanup. Funds for the Brownfields Inventory Grants will be provided out of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund.
The term ''brownfields'' shall mean properties that are underutilized and where redevelopment of the property is impeded by liabilities associated with known or suspected environmental contamination from hazardous substances.
The term ''municipality'' shall include any County, City, Borough, or Township government in Pennsylvania.
The term ''economic development agency'' shall include:
(1) Any redevelopment authority created under the act of May 24, 1945 (P. L. 991, No. 385), known as the Urban Redevelopment Law.
(2) Any industrial development agency as that term is defined in the act of May 17, 1956 (1955 P. L. 1609, No. 537), known as the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority Act.
(3) Any industrial and commercial development authority created under the act of August 23, 1967 (P. L. 251, No. 102), known as the Economic Development Financing Law.
(4) Any area loan organization as that term is defined in the act of July 2, 1984 (P. L. 545, No. 109), known as the Capital Loan Fund Act.
(5) Any other Commonwealth or municipal authority which acquires title or an interest in property.
(6) Municipalities or municipal industrial development or community development departments organized by ordinance under a home rule charter which buy and sell land for community development purposes.
(7) Tourist promotion agencies or their local community-based nonprofit sponsor which engage in the acquisition of former industrial sites as part of an ''Industrial Heritage'' or similar program.
(8) Conservancies engaged in the renewal or reclamation of an industrial site.
Certified Emission Reduction Credits in Pennsylvania's ERC Registry Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 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 certified ERCs shown below, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire 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 which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
For additional information concerning this 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.
