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 before 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 Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
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 should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 08-00019. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 08-00019 with these additions, changes and exceptions:
1. Source 055 has been removed from the permit as the two boilers previously incorporated in Source 055 no longer exist at the facility and the bread oven burners previously incorporated in Source 055 are actually part of Source P101, the facility's bread oven, and are therefore more appropriately addressed in the conditions listed for Source P101.
2. Source P105 has been removed from the permit as the prebake operations incorporated in Source P105 are more appropriately addressed in the conditions listed for Source P101, the facility's bread oven.
3. Conditions requiring a weekly inspection of the facility for the presence of excessive visible air contaminant emissions, excessive visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of these inspections have been removed from the permit as the facility does not incorporate the types of sources that are likely to produce these emissions.
4. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been revised to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
5. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and semi-annual reporting, of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable annual facility-wide VOC emission limitation have been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain ''such records as are necessary'' to demonstrate compliance with the respective limitation.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and semi-annual reporting, of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitations for the burners associated with the bread oven have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to determine compliance with the applicable emission limitations with ''calculations.''
7. The stated size of the six burners incorporated in the bread oven has been corrected (1.5 mmBtu/hr each instead of 1.0 mmBtu/hr each).
8. A 3.4 mmBtu/hr natural gas-fired boiler and seven natural gas-fired makeup air units (with a total combined heat input of 1.6 mmBtu/hr) have been added to the permit.
9. A condition has been added to the permit restricting the fuel used in the facility's bread oven and associated catalytic oxidizer to natural gas.
10. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable SOx, PM and VOC emission limitations for the facility's bread oven has been removed from the permit as it is not possible to determine compliance with the applicable PM and VOC emission limitations with ''calculations'' and the use of natural gas as fuel in the oven's burners guarantees compliance with the applicable SOx emission limitation.
11. A condition has been added to the permit requiring VOC stack testing to be performed on the facility's bread oven and associated catalytic oxidizer sometime between November 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013.
12. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitation for the facility's prebake operations has been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain ''such records as are necessary'' to quantify the VOC emissions from, and determine compliance with the VOC emission limitation specified for, the prebake operations.
13. Three ink jet printers exempted from the 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 plan approval requirement on October 16, 2007, and six ink jet printers exempted from the plan approval requirement on October 15, 2008, have been added to the permit along with conditions limiting the VOC emissions from each of these two groups of ink jet printers to less than 2.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period, limiting the VHAP emissions from each group to 1.0 or less tons in any 12-consecutive month period and requiring the maintenance of records of the identity and quantity of ink and ink makeup fluid used in each of these two groups each month.
14. The solvent parts washer previously listed in the permit, and all associated conditions, have been removed from the permit as the respective parts washer no longer exists at the facility.
15. A new solvent parts washer exempted from the 25 Pa. Code § 127.11 plan approval requirement on October 15, 2008, has been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 129.63 requirements for the parts washer, conditions limiting the VOC emissions from the parts washer to less than 2.7 tons in any 12-consecutive month period and the VHAP emissions to 1.0 or less tons in any 12-consecutive month period, a condition prohibiting the use of solvents in the parts washer which contain halogenated VHAPs as an intentionally-added ingredient and a condition requiring the maintenance of records of the identity and amount of solvent added to the parts washer each month.
16. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the ''supporting calculations used to verify compliance'' with the applicable VOC emission limitation for the facility's painting operation has been replaced with a condition requiring the permittee to maintain records of the identity and quantity of each material used in the painting operation each month and a condition requiring the semi-annual reporting of the ''supporting calculations'' has been removed from the permit.

[Continued from previous Web Page] COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications 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 (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
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 any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above 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--34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; 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.
Requests 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.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (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 found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the 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 below 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 found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation--Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously 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. Comments 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 shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall 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. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Lititz, PA 17543Lancaster Plan Description: The Stephen F. Stoltzfus proposed plan revision for one residential lot using an onlot sewage system plus a residue lot, was disapproved because (The Preliminary hydrogeologic study did not correctly assess the background nitrate-nitrogen concentration under the proposed subdivision and therefore did not accurately assess the impact of the proposed onlot sewage disposal systems on the groundwater. The three neighboring wells reflect a differing land use and are not within estimated groundwater flow paths from or to the proposed sewage disposal area. The onsite well's location is not ideal, but appears to better represent background nitrates in the groundwater beneath the farm land on which the new lot is proposed. The applicant should consider drilling a shallow test well at the location of the proposed lot to determine background nitrate-nitrogen conditions at the site as explained in section L, item 2.b. of the instructions for completing Component 2. The proposed subdivision is located on the north and south sides of West Brubaker Valley Road 1.43 miles west of Route 501, Lititz Pike. The Department of Environmental Protection's number is A3-36932-146-2 and the APS number is 657662).

[Continued from previous Web Page] LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 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 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, shall 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 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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, 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 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 before 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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reid Run Watersheds in Clarion County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding public meetings to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reids Run Watersheds in Clarion County. The meetings will be held on December 16, 2008, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDLs were developed in accordance with the requirements of The Clean Water Act, section 303(d). Two stream segments in the Brush Run Watershed and one segment in both the Gathers and Reids Run Watersheds have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and depressed pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 49502 Brush Run 2.6 49508 UNT Brush Run 1.1 49524 Gathers Run 1.0 49530 Reids Run 3.40 The proposed plans provide calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for these watersheds is abandoned mine workings. These watersheds were heavily mined for coal in the late 19th century and mining continues on a smaller scale today. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for permitted point sources.
The TMDLs were 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 TMDLs.
The TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the Watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over a 2 year period.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The proposed TMDLs for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reids Run Watersheds can be accessed through the Department's web site www.dep.state.pa.us by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field and clicking GO.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by January 29, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Monday December 15, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

Junior Coal Contracting, Inc., GFCC No. 14-07-01, Ridge Operation, Rush Township, Centre County (Trout Run to Moshannon Creek--Upper West Branch Watershed): A no-cost construction contract has been awarded to Junior Coal Contracting, Inc., that will result in the reclamation of approximately 22.6 acres of abandoned mine land, the reclamation of 2,150-feet of abandoned highwall and the daylighting and reclamation of 20.2 acres of abandoned deep mines. The site will be reclaimed and regraded to approximate original contour. Alkaline addition in the form of waste lime will be added to the mining area. A total of 30,700 tons of alkaline waste lime will placed on the site. The estimated value of the reclamation work is $298,200 which will be done at no cost to the Commonwealth. The site is located just north of Sandy Ridge on lands formerly mined and subsequently abandoned by Blair Brothers Coal Company (deep mine) in the early 1900s and Dugan Coal Mining Company (surface mine) in the late 1940s. Blasting has been approved as part of the reclamation activities. Refuse reprocessing is prohibited at the site.
