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 any 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 under 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 listed.

   Northeast Region:  Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790; Contact:  Mark Wejkszner, Acting New Source Review Chief, [phone].

   48-309-118:  ESSROC Cement Corp. (Permittee) (3251 Bath Pike, Nazareth, PA 18064). Notice given under 25 Pa. Code § 127.44 and 40 CFR 52.21 that the Department is soliciting comments on the proposed Air Quality Plan Approval for Lower Nazareth Township, Northampton County for the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at plants I, II and III as described in the Permittee's December 19, 2001, Plan Approval Application and subsequent supplemental submissions.

   The PSD regulations require specific sources of air pollution, such as the proposed modification of cement manufacturing operations at plants I, II and III to satisfy four conditions before approval to modify and operation may granted by the Department. First, all pollutants that are subject to this regulation must be controlled by best available control technology. Second, particulate and sulfur dioxide air pollutant emissions must not cause violations of the allowable annual, 24 hour or 3-hour air quality class increments applicable in the area where the source is to be located; nor any class increments applicable in any other areas which would be impacted by the source. Third, the maximum allowable increase in concentrations of all pollutants must not cause violation of either the National primary or secondary ambient air quality standards. Finally, the pollutant emissions from the proposed source must not adversely impact upon soils, vegetation and visibility in the vicinity of the proposed plant site.

   A preliminary review of the information submitted by ESSROC Cement Corporation indicates that the modification and operation of plants I, I and III will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the four previously stated. Based upon these findings, the Department plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the modifications of plants I, II and III.

   The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted for the Department's own analysis.

Pollutant	Emission limit Tons/year
PM10	1,494.8
TSP	2,825.9
SO2	4,503.4
NOx	3,402.0
CO	5,974.8
VOC	82.3
Fluoride	1.2
Lead	0.9

   The emissions of these pollutants are within all applicable emissions limitations and will not cause an exceedance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. NOx, SO₂ and PM emissions from the proposed modification will not increase at a significant rate as these emissions are netted out by the emissions decrease from the proposed shut down of four cement kilns and associated clinker coolers operations at Nazareth III. A decreasing of NOx emissions from the shut down of existing kilns and associated clinker coolers at Nazareth III will offset NOx emission increase from the proposed modification. No net increase will occurs in total particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions from this project, therefore, the particulate and sulfur dioxide emissions do not affect the allowable annual, 24 hour or 3 hour air quality class increments applicable in the area. The modeling performed has demonstrated that the proposed net emissions increase in carbon monoxide will not have a significant impact.

   According to 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2), an alternative to the air quality models specified in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W (relating Guideline on Air Quality Models) may be used to model air quality if the EPA approves the substitute model. Use of the substituted model must also be subject to notice and an opportunity for public comment.

   As an alternative to EPA Guideline Models, ISC-PRIME model was used in the air quality analysis for the proposed ESSROC facility. Specific approval for the use of ISC-PRIME in this analysis was granted by the EPA Region III Administrator and was consistent with the recommendations under section 3.2 of Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51. The Department is requesting written comments on ISC-PRIME, the EPA-approved substitute model used for the ESSROC modification. Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44 and 127.83 and 40 CFR 52.21(l)(2) and (q), notice given that the Department is soliciting written comments on the use of the nonguideline model, ISC-PRIME, approved by the EPA.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Prompt Interim Response

Langner Enterprises Site, Pine Township, Mercer County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Langner Enterprises Site (Site). This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site is located at 4142 Diamond Road in Pine Township, Mercer County.

   The Site consists of an approximately 52-acre property of partially wooded land interlaced by numerous dirt roads and trails (property) and groundwater or any other areas where hazardous substances from the property have migrated. The property consists of three buildings and vehicles, containers of unidentified wastes and scrap materials. Much of the material on the property appears to be military surplus. During past visits to the property, the Department collected samples of soil, water, containerized waste and uncontainerized waste. Results from sampling verified the presence of the following: acetone, benzene, chloroform, ethylbenzene, naphthalene, n-propylbenzene, toluene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethene, naphthalene, PCB (Aroclor 1260), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, xylenes (total) and lead. Further, some of the waste materials were characteristically hazardous wastes.

   The two main objectives for the prompt interim response proposed for the Site are: (1) protection of the public and the environment from direct contact with hazardous substances in containerized and uncontainerized wastes and associated contaminated soils at the property; and (2) elimination of the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from containerized and uncontainerized wastes and contaminated soils.

   The first objective is especially important because of the unrestricted access to the property and because the Department plans a further investigation of the Site. Remedial investigation workers would be operating in the immediate proximity of containerized and uncontainerized wastes and stained soils. This action will remove the containerized and uncontainerized wastes and associated contaminated soils at the property, thereby eliminating the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances posed by those wastes and soils.

   For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the site: Alternative 1--No action; Alternative 2--Removal of containerized and uncontainerized wastes and associated stained soils. Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses State and Federal requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative.

   Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.

   Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response for the Site. This alternative was implemented because it would, in the more cost-effective manner, permanently protect the public, Site workers and the environment from direct contact with hazardous substances in wastes and stained soils at the property and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from those wastes and soils.

   The prompt interim response, Alternative 2, would not be a final remedial response under section 504 of the HSCA and, therefore, is not required to meet the standards that apply to final remedial responses. Additional responses will likely be necessary to address the ongoing release of hazardous substances at the Site, including the property and the groundwater. However, Alternative 2 will be consistent with any future remedial actions and future investigation activities.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this prompt interim response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Telephone for an appointment, [phone]. The administrative record will be open for comment from December 14, 2002, until March 14, 2003. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Gary Mechtly, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. A public hearing is scheduled for January 16, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Pine Grove Community Center, 545 Barkeyville Road, Grove City, PA. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Gary Mechtly at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before January 13, 2003, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact Gary Mechtly. If no persons register to present oral comments before January 13, 2003, the public meeting will not be held.

   Persons with a disability who wish to review the administrative record or attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Gary Mechtly at [phone] or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at [phone] (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Twenty nine stream segments in the Chartiers Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed streams and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream		Miles
Code	Stream Name	Degraded
37086	Allison Hollow	1.76
37039	Brush Run	2.09
36786	Cambells Run	2.0
36787	UNT Cambells Run	0.8
36777	Chartiers Creek	9.61
37043	Chartiers Run	13.03
36858	Coal Run	0.8
36832	Dolphin Run	2.21
36833	Fishing Run	3.47
33001	Cross Creek	0.6
63300	Half Crown Run	1.1
36943	Little Chartiers Creek	12.54
36827	Millers Run	15.76
63294	North Branch Robinson Run	6.0
63295	North Branch Robinson Run UNT	4.2
36823	Thoms Run	4.32

   The proposed plan provides calculations of 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:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5   0.3	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable
pH	6.0--9.0	NA

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. The effects of this mining are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA, which 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 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 TMDL. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 10 years was the basis of information used in establishing the TMDL for the Chartiers Creek Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.

   In addition to the acid mine drainage listings, TMDLs were completed for Brush Run, an unnamed tributary to Brush Run and Plum Run. The listing of these waterbodies was due to use impairments caused by excessive nutrients and suspended solids from urban runoff and storm sewers. Agricultural land uses have also been identified as a source of impairment in the Plum Run Watershed.

   There are currently no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients and suspended solids. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorous in the Brush Run, unnamed tributary to Brush Run and Plum Run Watersheds. Phosphorous was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The sediment and phosphorous loadings were allocated among all of the land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University. The following table shows the listed segments and the miles degraded.

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
36873	Brush Run	37.11
36938	Unnamed tributary to Brush Run	0.52
37044	Plum Run	6.32

   The primary pollutant source for the Cooks Run Watershed and the Milligan Run Watershed is abandoned mine workings. These watersheds were heavily mined for coal in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. The effects of this mining are still present in these watersheds. All of the allocations made in the TMDLs are LA, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.

   The TMDLs for the Cooks Run Watershed and the Milligan Run Watershed were 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 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 TMDLs. The proposed TMDLs for the Cooks Run Watershed and the Milligan Run Watershed set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watersheds. Field data collected from 1983--2001 was used as the basis of information to establish the proposed TMDL for the Cooks Run Watershed, while field data collected from 2000-2001 were used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Milligan Run Watershed. Data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs for the Cooks Run Watershed and the Milligan Run Watershed are available from the Department.

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDLs for the Cooks Run Watershed and Milligan Run Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for Dutch Fork Lake in Washington County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for Dutch Fork Lake in Washington County. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2003, at 6:30 p.m. at the Buffalo Township Building, 400 Buffalo Center Lane, Washington, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Joe Boylan, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for Dutch Fork Lake, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for Dutch Fork Lake was established in accordance with the section 303(d) of the act. Dutch Fork Lake was listed on the Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) list because of impairments of designated uses due to excess nutrient (Phosphorus) loads to the lake.

   The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for nutrients. Therefore, the Department established a water quality objective for nutrients. The water quality objective for phosphorus was established using the Trophic Status Index (TSI) rating system established by Carlson. The water quality objective was set with the expectation that it could be reasonably achieved.

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for Dutch Fork Lake. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Joseph Boylan, Water Management Program, Southwest Regional Office, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for the Glanraffan Creek Watershed in Montgomery County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the Glanraffan Creek Watershed in Montgomery County. The meeting will be held on Friday, January 17, 2003, at 2 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Mike Boyer, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for this watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Glanraffan Creek Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Glanraffan Creek has been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and suspended solids. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
901	Glanraffan Creek	0.46

   The proposed plan provides calculations of stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5   0.3	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is leachate from an abandoned landfill. The landfill was in operation until the middle of the century and was closed down before any regulations were enacted. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA, which 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 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 TMDL. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the last few months was used to establish the TMDL for Glanraffan Creek Watershed. 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 Glanraffan Creek Watershed. Comments will not be accepted through facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Mike Boyer, Regional Biologist, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for Greenlane Reservoir, Berks, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs for the Greenlane Reservoir in Berks, Lehigh and Montgomery Counties. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 28, 2003, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Mike Boyer, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. Friday, January 17, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Greenlane Reservoir, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for Greenlane Reservoir was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Greenlane Reservoir was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) list because of use impairments due to organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen.

   The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for organic enrichment (total phosphorus). Therefore, the Department established lake specific water quality objectives. The water quality objective for phosphorus is established using the Trophic State Classification established by Thomann and Mueller. The Department does have water quality criteria for dissolved oxygen in lakes. However, data analysis indicated that Greenlane Reservoir is not currently impaired due to low dissolved oxygen. Therefore, a TMDL to address low dissolved oxygen is not necessary at this time.

   The TMDL sets an allowable total phosphorus load for each significant source to Greenlane Reservoir. The basis of information used to establish the TMDL include the Phase I Clean Lakes Study performed by FX Browne, Inc., TSI Studies performed by the Department and data provided by the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. The allowable total phosphorus loads are being developed and allocations will be contained in the report.

Waterbody	Listing Date	Acres Affected	Pollutant	Source
Greenlane Reservoir	1996	814	Organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen	Agriculture

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for Greenlane Reservoir. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Mike Boyer, Regional Biologist, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meeting should contact the Department at (610) 83-6072 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at [phone] (TDD users) or [phone] (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for Harveys Lake in Luzerne County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for Harveys Lake in Luzerne County. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2003, at 8 p.m. at the Harveys Lake General Municipal Authority Building, Route 415-Sunset, Harveys Lake, PA 18618. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Raymond Kempa, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for Harveys Lake, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for Harveys Lake was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Harvey's Lake was listed on the Commonwealth's 1998 Section 303(d) list because of impairments of designated uses due to excess nutrient (phosphorus) loads to the lake.

   The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for nutrients. Therefore, the Department established a water quality objective for nutrients. The water quality objective for phosphorus was established using the TSI rating system established by Carlson. The water quality objective was set with the expectation that it could be reasonably achieved.

   The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for phosphorus for each land use category identified. The basis of information used in establishment of this TMDL is the Phase One Clean Lakes Study completed by Coastal Environmental in 1996.

   The following table shows the current loading to the lake and the necessary reductions to meet the TMDL. The loads are expressed in pounds per year.

	Existing Load	TMDL Load	Percent reduction to
Parameter	(lb/yr)	(lb/yr)	meet TMDL

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for Lake Nockamixon in Bucks County. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Mike Boyer, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for Lake Nockamixon, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for Lake Nockamixon was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Lake Nockamixon was listed on the Commonwealth's 1996 Section 303(d) list because of use impairments due to excessive suspended solids and nutrient (phosphorus) loads to the lake.

   The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for nutrients or suspended solids. Therefore, the Department established lake specific water quality objectives. The water quality objective for phosphorus is established using the Trophic State Classification established by Thomann and Mueller. The TMDL analysis indicated that Lake Nockamixon is not currently impaired due to suspended solids. Therefore, a TMDL for suspended solids is not necessary at this time.

   The TMDL sets an allowable total phosphorus load for each significant source to Lake Nockamixon. The basis ofinformation used to establish the TMDL include the Phase I and II Clean Lakes Study performed by FX Browne, Inc., TSI Studies performed by the Department and Lake Nockamixon Water Quality Summary Reports performed by FX Browne for the Bucks County Conservation District.

   The following table shows the current loading to the lake and the necessary reduction to the meet the TMDL. The loads are expressed in pounds per year.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed in Columbia, Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed in Columbia, Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 16, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Girardville Borough Hall in Girardville, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Chuck Yingling, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for this watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Four stream segments in the Mahanoy Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. One stream segment has been identified as impaired in the 2002 305(b) report due to high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream		Miles
Code	Stream Name	Degraded
17556	Mahanoy Creek	53.66
17683	Shenandoah Creek	4.66
17670	Crab Run	1.3
17639	Zerbe Run	5.8
17673	UNT Mahanoy Creek	2.3

   The proposed plan provides calculations of 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:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5   0.3	30-Day Average Total Recoverable Dissolved
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 in the late 19th to mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA, which 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 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 TMDL. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected from 1985--2002 was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed. Data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed is available from the Department.

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Mahanoy Creek Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Chuck Yingling, Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Water Management, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8555.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed TMDLs Developed for the Neshaminy Creek, Little Neshaminy Creek, Park Creek, Cooks Run, West Branch Neshaminy Branch, an Unnamed Tributary to West Branch Neshaminy Branch and Two Unnamed Tributaries to Neshaminy Creek in Bucks and Montgomery Counties

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Neshaminy Creek Watershed in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. The meeting will be held on Monday, February 10, 2003, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA.

   These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in all of these watersheds. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive nutrients and organic enrichment and low dissolved oxygen from municipal point sources. Agriculture has been identified as a source of nutrient impairment in one of the unnamed tributaries to Neshaminy Creek and suspended solids has been identified as a cause of impairment in the other unnamed tributary to Neshaminy Creek. Urban runoff has also been identified as a source of impairment in the Cooks Run Watershed.

   There are currently no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients and suspended solids. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorous in the Neshaminy Creek Watershed. Phosphorous was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The sediment and phosphorous loadings were allocated among all of the land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University. The following table shows the listed streams and miles degraded.

Stream		Miles
Code	Stream Name	Degraded
2776	Cooks Run	4.6
2543	Core Creek	15.8
2638	Little Neshaminy Creek	37.9
2741	Mill Creek	8.7
2484	Neshaminy Creek	84.52
2868	West Branch Neshaminy Creek	29.5
2789	North Branch Neshaminy Creek	3.3
2490	Unnamed tributary Neshaminy Creek	0.5
2701	Unnamed tributary Neshaminy Creek	0.58
2889	Unnamed tributary West Branch Neshaminy Branch	0.2
2661	Park Creek	9.3
2790	Pine Run	8.4

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDLs. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Lee A. McDonnell, P. E., Chief, TMDL and Modeling Section, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105, [phone], [e-mail].

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed TMDLs Developed for a Segment of Oil Creek in York County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for a segment of Oil Creek in York County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 8, 2003, at 7 p.m. in the Penn Township Municipal Building, 20 Wayne Avenue, Hanover, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, December 27, 2002. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by sediment as a result of stream bank erosion.

   There are currently no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of sediment in the Oil Creek watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

   The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading for the segment of Oil Creek addressed in this TMDL. The overall load reduction necessary to meet the TMDL is also identified.

	Existing Load	TMDL	Percent
Pollutant	(lbs/yr)	(lbs/yr)	Reduction
Sediment	1,549,618	1,039,943	33%

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Lee A. McDonnell, P. E., Chief, TMDL and Modeling Section, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105, [phone], [e-mail].

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for the Oven Run Watershed in Somerset County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Oven Run Watershed in Somerset County. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 23, 2003, at 6:30 p.m. at the Hooversville Community Building in Hooversville, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Tim Kania, Cambria District Mining Office, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, January 15, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Oven Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Oven Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. One stream segment in the Oven Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998 and draft 2002 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
45621	Oven Run	1.86

   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:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5   0.3	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable
pH	6.0--9.0	NA

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th through 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.

   The proposed 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 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 Oven Run Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 10 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Oven 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 Oven Run Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Tim Kania, Permits Chief, Department of Environmental Protection, Cambria District Mining Office, 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931-4119.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for Pinchot Lake in York County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for Pinchot Lake in York County. The meeting will be held on Thursday, January 23, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Warrington Township Building, 3345 Rosstown Road, Wellsville, PA 17365. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 10, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for Pinchot Lake, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for Pinchot Lake was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Pinchot Lake was listed on the Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists because of impairments of designated uses due to organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen.

   The Department utilized a combination of watershed and lake models in developing the TMDL. The proposed TMDL sets the allowable loading of phosphorus in the Pinchot Lake watershed. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen, due to it being the limiting nutrient in the lake. The phosphorus loading was allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University and the BATHTUB lake model developed by USACE.

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for Pinchot Lake. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Lee A. McDonnell, P. E., Chief, TMDL and Modeling Section, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105, [phone], [e-mail].

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for the Rock Run Watershed in Cambria County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the Rock Run Watershed in Cambria County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 15, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Patton Ambulance Association Building in Patton, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Chuck Yingling, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m., Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for this watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Rock Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. One stream segment in the Rock Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to high levels of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
26872	Rock Run	3

   The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (iron, manganese and aluminum) and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

	Criterion		Total Recoverable/
Parameter	Value (mg/l)	Duration	Dissolved
Iron	1.50 0.3	1 Day Average Maximum	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Maximum	Total Recoverable
Aluminum	0.75	1 Hour	Total Recoverable
pH*	6--9	At all times	N/A

*According to research conducted by the Department, at pH = 6.0 the net alkalinity of a stream has been found to be zero. Therefore, the water quality standard for pH will vary based on in-stream alkalinity at that site with a minimum net alkalinity of zero being maintained. In the case of freestone streams with little or no buffering capacity, the TMDL endpoint for pH will be the alkalinity contained in natural background water quality.

   The primary pollutant for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. The downstream portion of the Rock Run Watershed was mined heavily for bituminous coal in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Strip mining had continued in the watershed until the year 2000. The effects of this mining are still present. There are two types of allocations made in the TMDL: load allocations that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and wasteload allocations that are associated with the active permits in the watershed.

   The TMDL was developed using mass balance modeling techniques coupled with MCS to determine the long-term daily 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 TMDL. All analyses were started at the headwaters of each stream segment and a mass balance of pollutant concentration was conducted moving downstream accounting for all sources of pollutants. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected from 1980 to 2002 was used to establish the TMDL for the Rock Run Watershed. 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 Rock Run Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Chuck Yingling, Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Water Management, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8555.

   To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information or to obtain directions to the Patton Ambulance Association Building meeting place, contact Chuck Yingling at the previous phone number or e-mail address.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for South Branch Codorus Creek in York County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the South Branch Codorus Creek in York County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 29, 2003, at 7 p.m. in the Nature Center, Nixon County Park, 5922 Nixon Drive, York, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the South Branch Codorus Creek, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL developed for the South Branch Codorus Creek in York County was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by nutrients and siltation as a result of agricultural and urban runoff.

   There currently are no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients and sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of phosphorus and sediment in the South Branch Codorus Creek watershed. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in the watershed. The phosphorus and sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

   The following table shows the estimated current phosphorus and sediment loadings for two subbasins within the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

		Existing Load	TMDL	Percent
Watershed	Pollutant	(lbs/yr)	(lbs/yr)	Reduction
Subbasin 1	Phosphorus	33,852	16,367	52%

Public Meeting and Request for Comments for the TMDL for the Tioga River Watershed in Tioga and Bradford Counties

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the Tioga River Watershed in Tioga and Bradford Counties. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 28, 2003, at 7 p.m. at the Hillside Rod and Gun Club in Blossburg, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Chuck Yingling, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Tioga River Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Tioga River Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Three stream segments in the Tioga River Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals, as well as an additional 14 segments. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
30990	Tioga River	19.71
31442	Bear Creek	1.14
31443	Johnson Creek	8.0

31522	Fall Brook, UNT	0.91
31523	Fall Brook, UNT	0.15
31534	Fellows Creek	3.38

   The proposed plan provides calculations of 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:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5	30-Day Average 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 from the 19th to the late 20th centuries. The effects of this mining are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA 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 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 TMDL. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field date collected over the past 10 years was the basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL for the Tioga River 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 Tioga River Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Chuck Yingling, Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Water Management, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8555.

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the unnamed tributary to Schuylkill River in Chester County. The meeting will be held on Monday, February 3, 2003, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for this tributary to the Schuylkill River, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   This TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included the stream segment. The listing of this waterbody was due to use impairments caused by excessive nutrients from agricultural land uses.

   There are currently no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients and sediments. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorous in the unnamed tributary to the Schuylkill River watershed. Phosphorous was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The sediment and phosphorous loadings were allocated among all of the land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University. The following table shows the listed segment and miles degraded.

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
1622	Unnamed tributary to Schuylkill River	2.6

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Lee A. McDonnell, P. E., Chief, TMDL and Modeling Section, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105, [phone], [e-mail].

   To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information or to obtain directions to the Department's Southeast Regional Office, contact Lee McDonnell at the previous phone number or e-mail address.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed TMDLs Developed for an Unnamed Tributary to Swatara Creek in Lebanon County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for an unnamed tributary to Swatara Creek in Lebanon County. The meeting will be held on Monday, January 13, 2003, at 7 p.m. in the East Hanover Township Building, Lebanon County. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 3, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDLs developed for an unnamed tributary to Swatara Creek in Lebanon County were established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by organic enrichment and low dissolved oxygen as a result of agricultural land use practices.

   There are currently no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of phosphorus in the unnamed tributary to the Swatara Creek watershed. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The phosphorus loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

   The following table shows the estimated current phosphorus loadings for two sub-basins within the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

		Existing Load	TMDL	Percent
Watershed	Pollutant	(lbs/yr)	(lbs/yr)	Reduction
Subbasin 1	Phosphorus	1,865	1,575	16%
Subbasin 2	Phosphorus	1,816	1,218	33%

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Lee A. McDonnell, P. E., Chief, TMDL and Modeling Section, Division of Water Quality Assessment and Standards, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105, [phone], [e-mail].

   To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs and associated information sheets or to obtain directions to the East Hanover Township Building meeting place, contact Lee McDonnell at the previous phone number or e-mail address.

   The proposed TMDLs can be accessed through the Department's website (http://ww.dep.state.pa.us) by typing ''TMDL'' in the direct link field and clicking ''GO.''

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the TMDL for Upper Schuylkill River Watershed in Schuylkill County

   The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for the Upper Schuylkill River Watershed in Schuylkill County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2003, at 6 p.m. at the Tamaqua Community Center in Tamaqua, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Michael Hill, [phone], [e-mail] by 4 p.m. on Friday, January 17, 2003. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Uppers Schuylkill River Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the act. Panther and Wabash Creeks in the Upper Schuylkill River Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to high concentrations of metals. The listed streams and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
02252	Panther Creek	6.47
02251	Wabash Creek	2.03

   The proposed plan provides calculations of 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:

	Criterion	Total Recoverable/
Parameter	value (mg/l)	Dissolved
Aluminum	0.1 of the 96 hour LC 50 0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5   0.3	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable
pH	6.0--9.0	N/A

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. The majority of the watersheds had been affected by underground and surface mining activities dating back at least 200 years. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are LA, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.

   The proposed 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 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 TMDL. The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 10 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Upper Schuylkill River Watershed. 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 Upper Schuylkill River Watershed. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. Written comments, which will be considered by the Department in developing the final TMDL, must be postmarked by February 12, 2003, and sent to Michael Hill, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Pottsville District Mining Office, 5 West Laurel Blvd., Pottsville, PA 17901.
