COAL AND NONCOAL MINING
ACTIVITY APPLICATIONSApplications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301—3326); The Clean Streams Law; the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); and The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.20a). Mining activity permits issued in response to applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4014); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1002).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department. A copy of an application is available for inspection at the district mining office indicated before each application. Notices of requests for 401 Water Quality Certifications are included in individual application notices, as noted.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by a person or an officer or head of Federal, state or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application within 30 days of this publication or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121—77.123 and 86.31—86.34.
Written comments or objections regarding a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting comments or objections, the application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
A request for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code § 77.123 or § 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
When an NPDES number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation-Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads.
Persons wishing to comment on NPDES permit applications should submit statements to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. A comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response
Marino Brothers Scrap YardBorough of Rochester, Beaver County The Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of Sections 103 and 501 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (''HSCA''), proposes an interim response at the Marino Brothers Scrap Yard (''Site''). The former scrap yard is situated in an industrial area between the Ohio River and Railroad Street in the Borough of Rochester. The Site occupies approximately three (3) acres and operated as a scrap yard from the 1920s until October 1998.
Various investigations have been conducted at the Site and document that the surface and subsurface is contaminated with hazardous substances including PCBs, benzo(a)pyrene, antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, and lead above the cleanup standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (''Act 2''). Trichloroethene, vinyl chloride, PCBs, and lead were found in the groundwater above the Act 2 standards.
The Department considered the following three alternatives to address the waste and hazardous substances at the Site: (Alternative 1) taking no action, (Alternative 2) removal and off-site disposal of the contaminated soil and waste, and (Alternative 3) removal of scrap and miscellaneous waste, cover contaminated soil with clean fill, vegetate, and implement erosion and sedimentation controls.
Alternative 1 does not comply with the applicable, relevant, and appropriate requirements (''ARARs'') and is not protective of human health and the environment. Although both Alternatives 2 and 3 comply with the ARARs and are protective, Alternative 3 is more cost effective than Alternative 2 ($800,000 vs $3,000,000). Based on its evaluation of the alternatives, the Department proposes Alternative 3.
This notice is being provided under Section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The Administrative Record which contains information forming the basis and documenting the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment until February 18, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending them or delivering them to Terry Goodwald, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
In addition, persons may present oral comments for inclusion in the administrative record at a public hearing scheduled for January 11, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the Borough of Rochester Municipal Building, located at 350 Adams Street, Rochester, PA 15074. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Katy Gresh at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, in writing at: 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by telephone at (412) 442-4203 before noon, January 11, 2011.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceeding, should contact Katy Gresh at (412) 442-4203 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5954 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

To perform the following water obstruction and encroachment activities associated with abandoned mine discharge treatment.
This project will consist of the maintenance repair of a channel that was listed as an AML feature #03 and reclaimed as part of a larger OSM project in 2004. Several heavy rain events flooded through the channel and reshaped the channel by cutting through the flood plain. The work will be performed in the channel and partly along the flood plain that was formed as part of the prior reclamation effort. The previous OSM project reshaped the stream into a natural meandering layout with a flood plain on both sides. There are no openings or possible bat habitats affected by the reconstruction work which is inside the original project limits.
The project will cover about 2 acres including the channel and floodplain repair. The channel will be lined with riprap and the floodplain will be graded and seeded for use in time of flooding.

Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals s should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
