   Sections 302 and 303 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 identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's Regional Office under 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 listed.

AIR QUALITY

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.

   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 file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. 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's 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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Prompt Interim Response Action under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Twin Peaks HSCP Site
323--409 West County Line Road
Horsham Township, Montgomery County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1305) intends to implement a prompt interim response action at the Twin Peaks HSCP Site, in Horsham Township, Montgomery County. The site is the effected residences and businesses that have demonstrated tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene contamination of their drinking water well or have the potential for contamination of their well. The affected residences have been determined to be 409, 405, 331, 329, 327, 325 and 323 West County Line Road.

   In deciding the appropriate response, the Department reviewed a number of alternatives for the remediation of the site. One option was to take no action at the site. This option was rejected because it did not satisfy the Department's policy of being protective of the health of the public and the environment. A second option was to provide whole-house filtration systems for treatment of the contaminated groundwater. This option was determined not to be cost efficient or protective of human health for addressing the long-term groundwater contamination.

   To fully address the problems that are occurring at the site, the Department provided Horsham Township with a grant for the purposes of installing a waterline extension to the affected residences and businesses. This will include the installation of the waterline main, lateral extensions from the main to the affected properties and restoration of any areas affected by the waterline project.

   The Administrative Record contains information related to the site and the Department's decision to perform this prompt interim response action. The Administrative Record is available for public inspection from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Southeast Regional Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, [phone]. An additional copy of the Administrative Record will also be available for public inspection at the Horsham Township Municipal Building, 1025 Horsham Road, between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

   Written comments concerning the prompt interim response action and information in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person or by mail, if postmarked on or before November 27, 1998, to the attention of Matthew T. Miller, HSCP Project Officer at the Southeast Regional Office address.

   Additionally, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m., Wednesday, November 18, 1998, at the Horsham Township Municipal Building, 1025 Horsham Road, Horsham. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before November 18, 1998, by calling John Gerdelmann at [phone]. 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 contact Paul Rettinger at [phone] to discuss how the Department may best accommodate their needs.

   The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the Administrative Record, as provided under that act. Questions concerning the site may be directed to Matthew T. Miller, Project Officer, at [phone], or Paul Rettinger, Assistant Counsel, at [phone].
