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

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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Logway Run Watershed in Centre County The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed in Centre County. The meeting will be held on November 15, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Beech Creek Municipal Building, Beech Creek, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office, (814) 342-8200 by 4 p.m. on Friday, November 12, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the Logway Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are as follows:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 22701 (7115) Logway Run 0.8 The proposed plan provides 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--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS 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 proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Logway Run Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by January 5, 2005, and sent to John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.

The Department is holding a public meeting on November 10, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Hanover Township Building, 1267 Sanssouci Parkway, Hanover Township, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Two stream segments in the Solomon Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to metals and siltation. The listed segments and miles degraded are as follows:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 28352 (Segment 20010718-0900-CJD) Solomon Creek 4.0 28353 (Segment 20010718-0900-CJD) Spring Run 1.9 63991 (Segment 20010718-1120-CJD) Sugar Notch Run 2.6 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (iron, aluminum and manganese) and acidity, a surrogate for 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--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LAs that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using MCS to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a dataset 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 TMDL.
The TMDL sets 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 in 2001 and 2002.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Clarence E. Yingling, Jr., Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management, RCSOB, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8467, (717) 783-2958, cyingling@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact. The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by January 5, 2005. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 3 p.m. on November 9, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for an Unnamed Tributary (24679) to Trout Run in Elk County Central Office: Clarence E. Yingling, Jr., Water Supply and Wastewater Management, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8467.
TMDLs have been established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. One stream segment has been identified as impaired on the Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to metals and pH. The listed segment and miles degraded are as follows:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 24679 (Segment 981014-0717-BPG) UNT Trout Run 1.1 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (iron, aluminum and manganese) and acidity, a surrogate for pH, and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion Value

This watershed was heavily mined for coal from the mid-1900s to present day. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LAs that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using MCS to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a dataset 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 TMDL.
The TMDL sets 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 the past decade.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Clarence E.
