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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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 may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

41-330-004: Sunoco, Inc.--R and M (205 Park Avenue, Syracuse, NY 13204) for construction of a soil vapor extraction system and installation of an associated air cleaning device (a biofilter) at their former Atlantic Terminal on Sylvan Dell Road in Armstrong Township, Lycoming County.
The soil vapor extraction system will be used to extract VOCs and volatile HAPs from soil which has been contaminated by petroleum products (gasoline, and the like). All vapors extracted from the contaminated soil will be directed to the biofilter which will consist of a 900 square foot surface area mulch bed in which the VOCs and volatile HAPs contained in the vapors will decompose due to the presence of microorganisms. The resultant emission of combined VOCs and volatile HAPs to the atmosphere will be no greater than 3.6 tons per year.
The Department has determined that the proposed construction and installation will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The Department consequently intends to issue a plan approval.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department plans to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. All vapors from the soil vapor extraction system shall be directed to the biofilter.
2. The total volume of gases (soil vapors and ambient air) directed to the biofilter shall never exceed 600 cubic feet per minute.
3. The biofilter bed surface shall be 30 feet long by 30 feet wide and the bed shall contain at least 213 cubic yards of filter material (mulch).
4. The biofilter shall achieve a combined VOC and volatile HAP destruction and removal efficiency of at least 92% at all times, including initial startup of the biofilter. Additionally, the total combined VOC and volatile HAP emissions from the biofilter shall not exceed 3.6 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
5. Upon startup of the soil vapor extraction system and biofilter, the soil vapors from the soil vapor extraction system shall be diluted with ambient air so that the resultant gas stream ducted to the biofilter consists of 10% soil vapors and 90% ambient air (by volume). The percentage of soil vapors shall thereafter be gradually increased and the percentage of ambient air decreased until the gas stream to the biofilter is 100% soil vapors.
6. The permittee shall monitor and record the total flow of all gases to the biofilter, the biofilter influent gas humidity, the biofilter bed temperature, the concentration of VOC/volatile HAPs at the biofilter bed inlet and the concentration of VOC/volatile HAPs emitted from the biofilter bed surface. The permittee shall additionally perform visible inspections of the biofilter bed surface and the biofilter air handling system. The monitoring and inspection shall be performed frequently enough prior to the introduction of 100% soil vapors to the biofilter to ensure compliance with the 92% destruction and removal efficiency requirement and shall thereafter be performed on a weekly basis for the remainder of the first 90 days of operation and twice per month thereafter.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Quaker City Gear Site
Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Nolan Brothers of Texas, Inc. (Nolan Bros.) for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Quaker City Gear Site, 351 Red Lion Road, Huntingdon Valley, Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County (Site). This Site is the former location of metal working and gear manufacturing operations. The Department has performed response actions at this Site including an environmental assessment and field investigation of the Site, the characterization of abandoned drums of liquid hazardous substances on the Site and the removal and lawful disposal of these drums at a permitted facility.
Nolan Bros. wishes to purchase the Site and intends to develop it for use as a self-storage facility. In connection with its purchase of the Site, Nolan Bros. wishes to resolve its potential liability to the Department for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to investigate and remediate abandoned drums of hazardous substances on the Site. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claim against Nolan Bros. Therefore, Nolan Bros. has agreed to reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $5,000 and shall receive contribution protection from claims related to its future ownership of this property.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA, which states that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The CO&A, which contains the specific terms of the agreement, is available for public review and comment. The CO&A can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428 by contacting David Ewald, (610) 832-6200, dewald@state.pa.us or Gina M. Thomas, Esq., (610) 832-6300, githomas@state.pa.us. A public comment period on the CO&A will extend for 60 days from November 1, 2003. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from November 1, 2003, by submitting them to David Ewald at the previous address.
Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Smiley Drum Garage Site
East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland CountyThe Department, under the authority of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is initiating a prompt interim response at the Smiley Garage Drum Site (Site) at the intersection of Enola Road (Route 11/15) and Susquehanna Avenue (a/k/a North Enola Road) in East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County. The Site is an inactive automobile repair garage and service station with a mailing address of 101 North Enola Road. The property and buildings are part of the Ross H. Smiley Estate.
For the past several years, 21 55-gallon drums of used motor oil (nonaqueous) sludge have been abandoned on the Site. The sludge was generated from the clean-out of an onsite sludge pit. The drums are currently stored on the property, but the building is in disrepair and not secure. Sampling of the drummed motor oil sludge has shown it to contain hazardous substances. East Pennsboro Township officials have concerns for safety and protection of public health with respect to the abandoned drums.
The Department considered two alternatives: (1) no action, which allows the drums to remain in place; and (2) drum removal and disposal at an appropriate treatment/disposal facility. The Department chose alternative 2 and removed the drums prior to developing the Administrative Record to be protective of human health and safety and the environment. The cost of this action is estimated at $12,215.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and the publication of this notice starts the Administrative Record period under the HSCA. The Administrative Record, which contains information about the Site and supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the Site, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting Asuquo Effiong, (717) 705-4853.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from November 1, 2003, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before January 24, 2003, by mailing them to Asuquo Effiong at the previous address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing, scheduled for December 15, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m. on December 10, 2003, by calling Sandra Roderick, (717) 705-4931. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should call Sandra Roderick at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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 and the 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 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 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 after which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report 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.

Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast Regional Office, Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711
Certification Request Initiated by: PPL Holtwood, LLC, Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: 33 Pa.B. 217 (January 11, 2003)
Project Description: PPL Holtwood, LLC has requested a Section 401 State Water Quality Certification for the operation of the Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project (Project) near the Hawley Borough in Wayne and Pike Counties. The Project is used primarily to meet the peak demands within Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection, with limitations on generation set by both natural inflows to the lake and seasonal recreational demands. The Project operates on an annual storage basis, which is achieved through the use of seasonal ''target'' lake elevations that are at times specifically constraints by the license terms and conditions. With both generator units, a total outflow ranging up to 1,800 cfs were typically started and shut down simultaneously and were operated at a relatively fixed generation level over the course of the day. PPL Holtwood, LLC expects to continue to operate the project under its current peaking mode of operation, to continue to provide ancillary power services as previous and to continue to operate for recreational, environmental, drought and flood control needs with certain modifications and enhancements: implementation of a new monthly lake elevation target schedule during normal nondrought periods; implementation of a revised drought operation plan; implementation of a deferred trout temperature regulation program for the Lackawaxen River (from river miles 4--10 not to exceed a maximum of 77°F); implementation of restricted weekend generation during the spring trout seasons; implementing operation and testing of recently installed turbine draft tube aeration system for downstream dissolved oxygen; curbing the range of area regulation operations during 6 summer weekdays to enhance weekday whitewater boating opportunities; and scheduling of two weekend whitewater boating flow releases.
Location: Lake Wallenpaupack in Hawley Borough, Wayne and Pike Counties, ACOE Philadelphia District, Hawley Quadrangle N: 16.25 inches; W: 0.75 inch (discharge), source water (Lake Wallenpaupack) is approximately 3.5 miles up-stream.
Final Action on Request: Certification granted on September 23, 2003.
