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.

Request for Variance

---

   The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance for Canterbury Coal Company. The following notification contains a summary of both this request and the Department's decision regarding approval. Complete copies of both the variance request and the Department's decision may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling [phone].

   Summary of the request: Canterbury Coal Company is requesting a variance from section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mining Laws of Pennsylvania. Canterbury's plan calls for the use of battery powered shuttle cars as the primary means of transportation for evacuation during a fan stoppage. The request proposes that during a fan stoppage the evacuation of men from the mine using electrically powered haulage equipment will be safer than having the workforce evacuate the mine on foot.

   Summary of the decision: The basis for the Bureau's determination for approval can be summarized in the following statements:

   1.  In order for an explosion to occur, an ignition source (for example, a spark from battery powered haulage equipment) and fuel (methane gas) are needed.

   At the Bureau's request, tests were performed on the mine atmosphere using MSA and CSE permissible Oxygen and Methane recording units. These tests were performed for an extended period of time (5 hours plus). Test results showed that no dangerous concentrations of methane or other gases accumulated along the track haulage entries during fan stoppage.

   Additionally, during an evacuation due to fan stoppage, the mine atmosphere will be continually monitored utilizing approved gas detection devices. Such monitoring shall be conducted by certified personnel.

   Without the presence of combustible gases (the fuel), evacuation using battery powered haulage equipment should provide a safe, efficient and expeditious means of escape for personnel working in the mine. The Bureau feels that a more expeditious evacuation of the workers is to the benefit of worker safety. According to tests, evacuation from the mine by battery powered haulage equipment is reduced to 45 minutes from approximately 2 hours (walking out).

   2.  The plan's evacuation procedures are those outlined in the 30 CFR 75.313.

   Under Act 181 of 1984, the Department of Environmental Protection solicits letters of interest from the landowners and/or licensed mine operators for the reclamation of the following abandoned strip mine projects:

Project	Municipality	County	Acre
BF 405-101.1	Union Twp.	Washington	13

BF 410-101.1	Export Borough	Westmoreland	35
BF 412-101.1	South Beaver Twp.	Beaver	4

   Letters of interest must be received by Ernest F. Giovannitti, Director, Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Department of Environmental Protection, P. O. Box 8476, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8476, no later than 4 p.m., December 31, 1996, to be considered.

   Telephone inquiries shall be directed to B. P. Rao, Chief, Division of Acid Mine Drainage Abatement, at [phone].

   The following Dam Safety and Encroachment permit applications and requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for water quality certification have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection.

   In addition to permit applications, the Bureau of Dams, Waterways and Wetlands (BDWW) and the Regional Office Soils and Waterways Sections have assumed primary responsibility for processing requests for certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), for projects requiring both a Dam Safety and Encroachments Permit, and a United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) permit. Section 401(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act requires the State to certify that the involved projects will not violate the applicable provisions of 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1301--1303, 1306 and 1307, as well as relevant State requirements. Initial requests for 401 Certification will be published concurrently with the BDWW permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 or to the issuance of a Dam Safety or Encroachment Permit, or the approval of Environmental Assessments must submit any comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice as well as any questions to the Bureau or Field Office indicated as the responsible office.
