AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The 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 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 received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule appointments.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall 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 listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

To remediate hazardous material from the overbanks and stream channel to prevent it from leaching into the water table. This permit authorizes installation of a sheet pile cofferdam down the center of the existing channel for a length of 100 linear feet directly upstream of the Filbert Street Bridge crossing. The cofferdam will allow flows of up to the 5 yr. storm event to be diverted to one side while work progresses on the other stream bank and bed. Once work is completed and all grades are restored to the pre-existing contours, flow will be diverted to the side that was just remediated and the same process will proceed. Upon completion, all contours, grades and pre-existing bank materials will be restored. The application also proposes to excavate 40 linear feet on the right over bank downstream of the Filbert Street Bridge for remediation purposes and to restore the contours wupon completion. This excavation will not require stream diversion since it is located 8 feet above the normal pool elevation for Limestone Run, which carries a water quality designation of Warm Water Fishery. This project is located at the Filbert Street Bridge crossing in the Borough of Milton, Northumberland County.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Extended Application Period for Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant Applications under Act 101, Section 904 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988; Calendar Year 2011 The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces an extended request for applications from municipalities for recycling performance grant assistance for recycling programs pursuant to the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101, P. L. 556, Section 904. Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships, home rule municipalities, their authorities, councils of governments, consortiums, or similar entities established by two or more municipalities under 53 PA. C.S. Ch. 23 Subch. A (relating to intergovernmental cooperation). This application period is for eligible materials recycled and marketed in calendar year 2011.
Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant funds will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source-separated recyclable materials identified in § 1501(c)(1)(i) of Act 101 recovered by municipal recycling programs, and the population of the municipality as determined by the most recent decennial census.
Applicants who have failed to comply with the conditions set forth in previously awarded grants, the recycling program performance requirements contained in Act 140 of 2006, the grant requirements of Act 101, or the regulations of Act 101 may not be awarded funds under this grant program. Applicants must ensure that they are in compliance with § 272.314(b)(2) relating to the submittal of the annual recycling report.
Eligible materials include post-consumer: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum cans, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, and plastics. Grants will be awarded only for properly documented, eligible materials that were actually marketed on or after Jan. 1, 2011, to and including Dec. 31, 2011. Applicants should only claim those tonnages for which they have documentation at the time they complete their application. Any residues, materials not listed as eligible, or any materials that cannot be documented as being generated within the municipality or marketed or recycled into new products or uses are not eligible for consideration toward the grant. In particular, recovered glass that is being stockpiled or used as daily cover at a landfill will not be considered as recycled. Applicants must be able to document the amount of residue attributable to their recycling program.
Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and marketed must be made available for auditing by the Department of Environmental Protection, the Office of the Auditor General, the Office of the Treasurer, or agents of those offices for four (4) years. DEP will not require applicants to retain hauler customer lists; however, the lists may be required to be examined in the event of an audit. It will be the applicant's responsibility to arrange for hauler customer lists to be provided, or for haulers to be present with their customer lists, during a grant audit. Supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application. Any tonnages not properly documented at the time of an audit will not be credited towards the applicant's Performance Grant award. No additional/supplemental documentation will be accepted after the audit is completed. Failure to submit a complete and accurate application may result in a denial of the application. Grant applications must be on forms provided by DEP for calendar year 2011. Grant applications must be delivered by 4 p.m., December 28, 2012, or postmarked on or before this date. Applications received by the DEP after the deadline will be returned to the applicant. All grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by Sections 701 and 702 of Act 101, and the availability of monies in the Recycling Fund.
Applications can be obtained from the DEP's website at www.depweb.state.pa.us (Keyword: ''Recycling Grants''). Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Mark Vottero, Bureau of Waste Management, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, PO Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472 or mvottero@state.pa.us.
