(501 Martindale Street, 4th Floor, DL Clark Building, Pittsburgh, PA 15212). to issue a Plan Approval to authorize construction and temporary operation of the following proposed sources and controls at the Dominion Transmission (''Dominion'') Crayne Compressor Station (''Crayne''), a natural gas transmission station in Franklin Township, Greene County: one (1) Solar Taurus 60 natural gas-fired compressor turbine rated at 7,700 hp (at ISO conditions) equipped with dry low-NOx combustion system and an oxidation catalyst; one (1) 5.2 MMBtu/hr natural gas fired boiler; and four (4) Capstone C200 microturbine gensets. Three (3) existing microturbine gensets will be removed from service as part of this project.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44—127.46, the Department of Environmental Protection (''Department'') intends to issue Air Quality Plan Approval PA-30-00089C to authorize construction and temporary operation of the following proposed sources and controls at the Dominion Transmission (''Dominion'') Crayne Compressor Station (''Crayne''), a natural gas transmission station located in Franklin Township, Greene County: one (1) Solar Taurus 60 natural gas-fired compressor turbine rated at 7,700 hp (at ISO conditions) equipped with dry low-NOx combustion system and an oxidation catalyst; one (1) 5.2 MMBtu/hr natural gas fired boiler; and four (4) Capstone C200 microturbine gensets. Three (3) existing micro-turbine gensets will be removed from service as part of this project.
The installation of the proposed Solar Taurus 60 turbine, boiler, and replacement of the three (3) existing microturbine gensets with four (4) new microtrbine gensets will result in a potential to emit (PTE) increase of approximately 21 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 9 tons of carbon monoxide (CO), 2 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC), 2 tons of sulfur oxides (SOx), 3 tons of total particulate matter (PM, PM10, and PM2.5), 0.1 ton of formaldehyde, 0.3 ton of total hazardous air pollutants (HAP), and 42,216 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per year. Best available technology (BAT) for the proposed natural gas-fired turbine includes good combustion practices including dry low-NOx combustion; installation and operation of an oxidation catalyst; minimization of startup and shutdown events; and proper maintenance and operation. The authorization is subject to State regulations including 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1, 123.2, and 123.31; and Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) including 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK for stationary combustion turbines. The Plan Approval has been conditioned to ensure compliance with all applicable rules and includes NOx, CO, VOC, PM10, PM2.5, and visible emission limits; limitation of fuel sulfur content; and testing, work practice, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting conditions. The proposed increase in facility-wide PTE at Crayne will not exceed any of the major source thresholds for criteria or hazardous air pollutants, but will exceed 100,000 tpy CO2e. Dominion has requested that a facility-wide limitation on annual CO2e emissions be included in the plan approval such that the facility remains below the 100,000-ton CO2e major source threshold.
A person may oppose the proposed plan approval by filing a written protest with the Department through Devin P. Tomko, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Additional written comments may also be submitted.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based 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.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are 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 (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit 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 § 92a.82(d). 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.

First Pennsylvania Resource and Resource Environmental Solutions propose to construct and maintain a Upper Susquehanna River Mitigation Bank—phase 2 (USRMB2). The 129.3 acre site is located approximately 5 miles northwest of Westfield in Brookfield Township—Tioga County, which is located over unnamed tributary to Cowanesque River. The site is primarily forested and agricultural land, bound on all sides by mid-successional forest. The project drains to the Cowanesque River.
The scope of work of the USRMB2 is to restore, augment and preserve self-sustaining, functional stream, wetland and riparian corridors functions and values, which have been degraded as a result of historical land use practices on the Site. The restoration of the Site will focus on dynamic improvement of the overall holistic functions of the onsite riparian corridor including stream, wetland and upland riparian areas.
The specific functional improvement goals include, but are not limited to:
1. Re-establish floodplain wetland presence and establish a high level of wetland functional diversity;
2. Increase onsite flood capacity, storage and attenuation;
3. Re-establish the hydraulic connectivity of onsite stream channels to their historical flood prone areas (specifically providing for the re-establishment of the interaction of channel flow with the floodplain during bankfull flow and greater events);
4. Re-establish stream stability and appropriate channel geometry including dimension, pattern and profile characteristics;
5. Remove an in-line impoundment (pond) to re-establish upstream and downstream channel connectivity re-establishing the opportunity for aquatic organism movement within site streams;
6. Remove source causes and correct existing historical channel alterations, both direct and indirect, including berms, culverts, livestock degradation and agricultural impacts;
7. Reduce stream bank erosion and resulting sediment contributions to the stream system;
8. Re-establish a stable in-stream sediment transport regime;
9. Improve riparian nutrient and organic matter cycling;
10. Improve aquatic and riparian terrestrial habitat;
11. Re-establish a diverse forested riparian corridor composed of native species; and
12. Provide perpetual protection of the Site through appropriate legal protections to ensure the continuity of the functional improvement goals once established into perpetuity.
The jurisdictional impacts associated with the USRMB2 include 1.29 acres of total wetland impacts (combined temporary and permanent) and 3,718 linear feet (LF) of temporary stream impacts to unnamed tributary to Cowanesque River, which is classified with a designated use of Cold Water Fishery (CWF).

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—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under 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 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—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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 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 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by 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 under 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals 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.
