S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response
Franklin Glass Site
City of Butler, Butler CountyThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. Section 6020.101 et. seq. (''HSCA''), proposes to conduct an interim response at the Franklin Glass Site (''site''). The site is located in the City of Butler, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The site consists of residential and unimproved land where glass manufacturing wastes were historically disposed and the associated impacted soils containing arsenic. The waste disposal area is intersected by Coal Run and its receiving stream, Connoquenessing Creek. Potential human health exposure results from underlying wastes and impacted soils exposed by the eroding stream banks of those waterways. Specific sections of those streams currently have more extensive erosion and pose a more urgent threat than other sections.
The Department has investigated the site and has thus far identified three Areas Of Concern (''AOC'') at the site: The Upstream Reach of Coal Run; the Downstream Reach of Coal Run; and the Residential/Park Area.
For this proposed interim response, the Department considered five alternatives for the Upstream Reach of Coal Run:
Alternative 1. No action with ongoing monitoring;
Alternative 2. Vegetated Slope with Riprap at Stream Level/Existing Stream Alignment;
Alternative 3. Vegetated Slope with Riprap at Stream Level/ Stream Re-Alignment;
Alternative 4. Vegetated Slope with Gabions at Stream Level/Existing Stream Alignment;
Alternative 5. Vegetated Slope with Gabions at Stream Level/ Stream Re-Alignment.
For the Downstream Reach of Coal Run, the Department considered two alternatives:
Alternative 1. No Action with ongoing monitoring;
Alternative 2. Installation of Temporary Fencing
For the Residential/Park Area, the Department considered three alternatives:
Alternative 1. No Action;
Alternative 2. Restrictions on Subsurface Activities and Groundwater Use;
Alternative 3. Excavation and Off-Site Disposal of Contaminated Soils.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: 1) Effectiveness; 2) Implementability; 3) Ability to meet state and federal requirements; and 4) Cost. 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.
As the prompt interim response at the site, the Department proposes to implement the following alternatives:
1. Upstream Reach of Coal Run: Alternative 2. Vegetated Slope with Riprap at Stream Level/Existing Stream Alignment.
2. Downstream Reach of Coal Run: Alternative 2. Installation of Temporary Fencing
3. Residential/Park area at the site: Alternative 2. Restrictions on Subsurface Activities and Groundwater Use.
The Department chose these alternatives because they each protect the public and environmental receptors from the risks associated with the hazardous substances at each AOC at the site in the most cost-effective manner.
The proposed interim response is not a final remedial response pursuant to Section 504 of HSCA, and, therefore, is not required to meet the cleanup standards that apply to final remedial responses. However, the proposed alternatives are consistent with any potential future remedial actions and future investigation activities.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this 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 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please telephone beforehand for an appointment (telephone: 814-332-6648).
The administrative record will be open for comment from December 15, 2012 until March 15, 2013. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Mr. Chris Saber, 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. The public hearing will be held at the Center Avenue School Auditorium, 102 Lincoln Ave., Butler, PA on January 15 beginning at 6:30 pm. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Mr. Saber at the Department's Northwest Regional Office by January 7, 2013, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact Mr. Saber. If no one registers to present oral comments by January 7, 2013, the public meeting will not be held.
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.

Presque Isle Bay Area of Concern Remedial Action Plan—Stage 3 Delisting; Comment/Response Document The Department of Environmental Protection is proposing the removal of Presque Isle Bay in Erie, Pennsylvania from the list of Areas of Concern under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Information supporting this proposal is contained in the Presque Isle Bay Area of Concern Remedial Action Plan—Stage 3 Delisting (Stage 3 RAP).
Beginning in February 2012, the Department has consulted with the Presque Isle Bay Public Advisory Committee on the rationale supporting this decision. The Public Advisory Committee was convened on February 21, 2012, May 21, 2012, and June 18, 2012 to discuss delisting and provide comment on the Stage 3 RAP. On July 23, 2012, the Public Advisory Committee voted in favor of the Department`s proposal to delist.
The Department solicited public comments related to the Stage 3 RAP in Special Notices published in Volume 42, Number 31 (August 4, 2012) and Number 37 (Saturday, September 15, 2012) of the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Two public availability sessions were held August 10, 2012, and August 28, 2012, which were advertised in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and in local newspapers.
The Department received ten sets of comments during the public comment period. The comments were organized into themes and are presented below with the Department`s response.
The Stage 3 Remedial Action Plan is posted on the Public Advisory Committee`s website (www.pibpac.org). Questions regarding the responses and the delisting process can be sent to Lori Boughton at lboughton@ pa.gov.
1. General opposition to delisting.
Comment: The majority of the commenters expressed opposition to delisting Presque Isle Bay as an Area of Concern for various reasons. Specific reasons were posed by commenters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10, whereas other commenters (6, 7, 9) opposed delisting for more general reasons or in support of other commenters.
Response: Specific objections to delisting are discussed below. Support for the arguments of other commenters is acknowledged.
2. Concern with not knowing the cause of the external tumors; PIB AOC should not be delisted, but studied further.
Comment: Several commenters (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10) stated that the Presque Isle Bay Area of Concern should not be delisted because the cause(s) of the external tumors on the bay`s brown bullhead catfish remain unknown. Other commenters (6, 7, 9) opposed delisting Presque Isle Bay for more general reasons.
Response: The cause or causes of external (skin and mouth) tumors is beyond the current state of scientific knowledge. While these lesions have been attributed to myriad environmental contaminants (most often Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons or PAHs in sediment), populations of brown bullhead catfish with elevated levels of external tumors and other deformities have also been noted throughout the northeastern United States in waterbodies with no known sources of carcinogenic pollutants by researchers with Cornell University, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Department`s own staff. The Department conducted its own experimental investigation and found no adverse effects to brown bullhead exposed to PAH-contaminated sediment. In addition, independent ecological and human health risk assessments concluded that the contaminants of potential concern known to be present in Presque Isle Bay posed little risk. While the Department agrees that the causes of tumors warrants further rigorous scientific investigation, the current state of the science does not allow for the use of these lesions as indicators of environmental degradation.
3. PIB cannot meet the IJC criteria for delisting the Tumors and Other Deformities BUI.
Comment: A commenter (4) raised the concern that conditions in Presque Isle Bay do not meet the International Joint Commission`s criteria for delisting the Fish Tumors or Other Deformities beneficial use impairment.
Response: Presque Isle Bay and other Areas of Concern (AOCs) need to meet the AOC-specific delisting targets set by the lead agency or Remedial Action Plan group. AOCs do not need to meet the general guidelines described by the International Joint Commission (IJC) in the March/April 1991 issue of FOCUS on International Joint Commission Activities (Volume 16, Issue 1, ISSN 0832-6673). The IJC listing/delisting guidelines were developed to assist in making recommendations for listing new AOCs and in reviewing Remedial Action Plans. In 2001, the United State Policy Committee (USPC) provided a set of ''Delisting Principles and Guidelines'' to update the IJC`s general criteria for American AOCs. The USPC`s guidelines state explicitly that delisting targets are locally derived, premised on local goals and related environmental objectives for the watershed, and consistent with federal and state regulations and policies, when available. It is the responsibility of the Department of Environmental Protection in consultation with the Public Advisory Committee, to set delisting targets and criteria. For the Presque Isle Bay AOC, the Department also consulted with basin-wide experts and representatives of other Lake Erie AOCs when identifying the delisting targets set for the Bay`s two beneficial use impairments.
4. All of the data, fish tumor and sediment, were not made available to the public to consider in the delisting.
Comment: One commenter (4) expressed concern that all available data related to bullhead tumors and sediment quality in Presque Isle Bay were not made available to the public for consideration in advance.
Response: The studies, data, and literature used to support the Department`s Stage 3 RAP was made available to interested parties during the public availability sessions held on August 10, 2012, and August 28, 2012, which were advertised in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and in local newspapers. All available reports and public documents have since been made publicly available and housed on-line at the following website http://www.pibpac.org/documents/. In addition, raw data related to bullhead tumors in Presque Isle Bay and other sites in the northeastern United States have been compiled and made available to the public via the following searchable on-line database http://bullheadtumordatabase.com/welcome_screen.php.
5. Request for tumor data by year class as well as various alternative statistical analyses.
Comment: One commenter (4) requested various alternative analyses of bullhead tumor data (e.g., using contingency table analyses, examining various cohorts of fish, etc.)
Response: The Department conducted its analyses in close consultation with leading experts and members of its own Public Advisory Committee and believes that its analyses are appropriate. However, raw data are available for additional analyses by interested parties at the following website: http://bullheadtumordatabase.com/welcome_screen.php
6. Concern with delisting based on 5 year old data.
Comment: Several commenters (2, 3, 4) expressed concerns that the Department made its decision to delist Presque Isle Bay based on ''five-year old data.''
Response: This comment relates to the fact that histopathology (i.e., microscopic tissue analysis) was last conducted on the bay`s brown bullhead in 2007. The Department wishes to clarify that sampling and gross visible observations of external tumors in the bay`s brown bullhead population occurred annually from 2002 through 2010 as documented in the Stage 3 RAP. Histopathological analyses of Presque Isle Bay bullhead did end in 2007.
Gross observation of external tumors has been scientifically determined to slightly over-estimate the true rate of tumors and can therefore be reliably used as a conservative surrogate for the true external tumor rate. The Department made the decision to reallocate limited funding to the histopathological analysis of experimental bullhead in 2010 after confirming that the incidence rates of both internal (liver) and external tumors in the bay brown bullhead population remained stable throughout the Recovery Stage monitoring period with only random inter-annual variation in the data.
7. DEP has overlooked contaminants as the cause of the BUI, such as PCBs, arsenic, and other legacy contaminants.
Comment: A commenter (1, 4) raised the concern that the Department overlooked contaminants as the cause of the beneficial use impairment, such as PCBs, arsenic, and other legacy contaminants.
Response: The Department used a scientific approach and accepted methodologies in developing the plan for evaluating the fish tumor beneficial use impairment (BUI) and causes of the tumors. In 2003-2006, the Department held consultation workshops with more than 40 expert researchers, fishery and wildlife biologists, pathologists, and agency representatives to identify long-term monitoring and research needs to address this BUI. The Department`s plans were based on the recommendations of these experts.
The Department`s did not overlook contaminants such as arsenic and PCBs. Rather, the decision to continue focusing on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) came as a result of the workshops, the most compelling studies in the literature, and the fact that Presque Isle Bay`s sediment contains concentrations of PAHs that do exceed sediment quality guidelines in a number of sampling locations throughout the bay. While other environmental contaminants have been evaluated by researchers, including nitrosamines, heavy metals, pesticides, rotenone, chlorinated wastewater, and alkylating agents, the body of evidence available in the literature supports the link between PAHs and brown bullhead tumors.
8. The statistical analysis used by DEP to support the delisting decision is flawed.
Comment: Two commenters (4, 8) questioned the statistical methodology employed to normalize bullhead tumor rates based on seven year old bullhead. One commenter (4) suggested that a comparison among cohorts of fish other than at age 7 would be appropriate.
Response: Given the strong positive correlation between bullhead age and the probability of tumors noted throughout the scientific literature, the Department feels that it is critical to normalize tumor incidence rates based on the age of the bullhead sampled. This is particularly important when comparing different populations of fish or evaluating tumor trends over time. The Department retained an independent doctoral-level statistician to conduct these analyses which are based on a Bayesian statistical approach and logistic regression analysis of the tumor data. This method has been published in the peer-reviewed literature and the Department believes that the method is robust and appropriate. This method does not, however, actually directly compare cohorts of fish, but rather allows for the determination of a point estimate of tumor incidence rates for fish of a given age. Age seven was chosen because this was the approximate mean age of bullhead in the full dataset. Reference: Rutter, M.A. 2010. A statistical approach for establishing tumor incidence delisting criteria in areas of concern: A case study. Journal of Great Lakes Research 36, 646-655.
9. The exposure study used by DEP to support the delisting is flawed.
Comment: Several commenters expressed concerns with the methodology (4, 6, 9) and/or conclusions (9) related to the Department`s whole-sediment exposure experiment of brown bullhead catfish. Specific concerns included insufficient duration of the study, lack of natural seasonal variation of environmental conditions due to laboratory setting, use of food pellets rather than natural prey organisms (i.e., not considering oral ingestion and biomagnification pathways) (4), not considering maternal exposure and vertical transmission of contaminants to eggs (6), not considering the effects of chemicals that may be in the water column (4 and 9), and inadequate experimental control (9).
Response: The Department acknowledges that numerous alternative experimental design approaches were available. However, the exposure experiment was specifically to investigate PAH-contaminated sediment as the single Independent Variable of interest and the Department believes that the experimental design was appropriate for that purpose. Both low-PAH sediment and water control conditions were utilized in the design. The 556-day duration of the study was by far the longest of its kind and the most sensitive available biomarkers of early-stage carcinogenesis were employed as Dependent Variables. Multi-factorial designs such as those suggested were considered but rejected due to the increased cost and complexity associated with the additional experimental units, specimens, and analyses required by these designs. The Department agrees, however, that the conclusions of the study should be limited to the controlled laboratory conditions under which the experiment was conducted rather than more broadly generalized and has modified the Stage 3 RAP accordingly.
10. Concerns with the Human Health Risk Assessment.
Comment: A commenter (3) raised the concern that the Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) was flawed by using the incorrect maximum concentration of PCBs detected in the bay`s sediment and failed to provide any explanation of the meaning of the PCB-child cancer risk.
Response: With respect to the concentration of PCBs detected in the bay`s sediment, the HHRA listed an incorrect value for the maximum detected concentration. Based on a single sample collected from a single location in 2005, the maximum sediment PCB concentration should have been reported as 1.097 ppm rather than 0.373 ppm as actually reported in the HHRA. However, this error does not significantly change the very conservative calculations or conclusions of the risk assessment. Exposure risk is conservatively calculated by using the 95% Upper Confidence Limit (CL) of the mean value of the chemicals of potential concern—not the maximum values which are reported for informational purposes only.
The childhood cancer risk statements in the HHRA appear to have been made in error. Based on a review of the HHRA by risk assessment professionals with both the Department and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, cancer risk is appropriately calculated only for adults after considering the various carcinogen exposure patterns that occur throughout the lifetime, which differ during childhood and adulthood. In other words, it is appropriate to consider the unique carcinogen exposure pathways during childhood only as they relate to the ultimate risk of developing cancer during adulthood.
With respect to PCB exposure, the primary pathway is, as noted in the HHRA, through the ingestion of fish which have bioaccumulated these substances. Dermal absorption of PCBs in contaminated sediment is a highly improbable exposure pathway for either children or adults and will lead to an overestimation of risk, as discussed in the HHRA. Nonetheless, this conservative exposure pathway was evaluated in the assessment out of an abundance of caution. Even when both dermal contact and ingestion of PCBs is considered, the cancer risk posed by PCBs to adults was found to be low.
These concerns have been communicated to the author of the HHRA and the document will be revised accordingly.
11. Concerns with the Ecological Risk Assessment.
Comment: A commenter (1) questioned why PCBs were not considered in the ecological risk assessment, but were considered in the Human Health Risk Assessment. Response: The Screening-Level Ecological Risk Assessment (SLERA) relied solely on existing reports and data in order to estimate the level of risk to important ecological receptors in and around Presque Isle Bay. The chemicals of potential concern (COPCs) identified in the SLERA were included if the frequency of exceeding the published Probable Effects Concentration (PEC) in surficial sediment samples was greater than 10%, as identified by MacDonald (2008). In this report, PCBs exceeded the PEC toxicity threshold in only 2 of 40 surficial sediment samples collected in 2005 and 0 of 4 samples collected prior to 2005 (less than 5% frequency of exceedance). The most recent (2009) surficial sediment sampling results again confirmed that PCBs do not exceed probable effect concentrations. The Department concurs with the conclusions of the authors of the SLERA that the risk posed to PIB ecosystem from PCB exposure is low
12. Healthier fish.
Comment: One commenter (5) specifically asked if our fish are healthier now that when we started our AOC?
Response: The Presque Isle Bay brown bullhead population can be considered healthier than when the bay was listed as an AOC based on decreases in the incidence rates of both external and liver tumors. The decreasing rate of grossly visible raised external lesions over the past two decades is clearly visible in Figure 16 of the Stage 3 RAP.
13. Insufficient ongoing monitoring effort.
Comment: Two commenters (1, 4) raised concerns with the Department`s ongoing monitoring plan; in particular, concerns about the concentrations of metals and other contaminant transported into Presque Isle Bay from tributary streams and questioned the Department`s future monitoring.
Response: Response: The Department will continue its efforts to support watershed restoration projects that reduce the amount of sediment and associated contaminants entering Presque Isle Bay, including monitoring sediment and contaminant loading from the tributaries to ascertain the success of the restoration projects.
The Department remains committed to providing the resources, applying for grant funding to continue investigations and monitoring, and working with experts, other AOCs, and the Public Advisory Committee to provide oversight and diligence in ensuring the sustained restoration and protection of Presque Isle Bay and its watershed. As with any long-term monitoring plan, there is no guarantee that resources will be available or new scientific methods or theories may arise, which result in changes to the original plan.
Resource constraints and grant funding cycles resulted in monitoring occurring in different years than originally planned or being replaced with investigations such as those into the cause(s) of external tumors. The Department consulted with the Public Advisory Committee and its Fish Subcommittee in resource decisions that changed the focus and timing of monitoring efforts. For example, the 2002 RAP Update included a long term monitoring for fish tumors that called for annual gross visual observations and histopathology on a subset of 50 fish in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2010. Gross visual observations were done annually from 2002 through 2010. Histopathology was done in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2005, and 2007. Potential reference sites were included in 2004, 2005, and 2007. Recommendations from the expert consultations and workshops resulted in shifting resources from histopathology work to evaluating potential causes of the tumors such as parasites, viruses, and contaminant concentrations on clean and tumored skin.
Comment: One Commenter (9) stated that, ''I think we should we should keep Presque Isle Bay on a watch list. Our lakes are so important for drinking water, it should always be an area of concern to everyone.''
Response: The Department agrees with this comment.
14. Other BUIs.
Comment: One Commentator (3) asserted that, in addition to the Fish Tumors or Other Deformities Beneficial Use Impairment, Presque Isle Bay cannot meet the criteria established by the International Joint Commission for Beneficial Use Impairments related to Restrictions on Fish and Wildlife Consumption and Eutrophication or Undesirable Algae.
Response: The Department disagrees with this comment. It is important to clarify that Areas of Concern are not merely locations with some measurable level of environmental degradation on a particular metric, but are geographic areas that fail to meet the objectives of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between the United States and Canada to such an extent that they are considered uniquely and significantly degraded relative to background conditions throughout the Great Lakes.
Subsequent to the original listing of Presque Isle Bay as an Area of Concern in 1991, the Department and its contractors evaluated the potential occurrence of all 14 BUIs in Presque Isle Bay and summarized the results of the evaluation in the original 1993 Stage 1 Remedial Action Plan for Presque Isle Bay. Neither of these two beneficial uses was found to be impaired at that time based on the IJC criteria. The former BUI was not applicable to Presque Isle Bay because the Department`s fish tissue monitoring program confirmed that contaminant levels in Presque Isle Bay fish were no higher than contaminant levels in the same fish species found in the open waters of Lake Erie. The latter BUI was not applicable because, at the original time of assessment, Presque Isle Bay displayed none of the signs of cultural eutrophication (e.g., nuisance algal blooms, attendant depletion of dissolved oxygen and decreases in water clarity) required by the IJC criteria.
At the request of the Department`s Public Advisory Committee, in 2012 the Department re-evaluated the possible occurrence of all potential BUIs not originally identified in Presque Isle Bay. As discussed in Section 3 of the Stage 3 Remedial Action Plan, the Department`s ongoing fish tissue monitoring program has confirmed that levels of contaminants in the bay`s fish, while present, continue to be equal to or less than levels found in the open waters of Lake Erie. Similarly, annual assessments of water quality, algae, and oxygen levels in the bay have confirmed that cultural eutrophication is not occurring in Presque Isle Bay. In fact, there has been a trend of improving water clarity over the last two decades. In short, the criteria for these BUIs are not met in Presque Isle Bay.
15. Only relied on single source of evidence.
Comment: One Commenter (1) asserted that the Department`s basis for discounting external tumors on bullhead as indicators of environmental contaminant exposure relied primarily on a comment made by a single scientist (Dr. Paul Baumann) in a non peer-reviewed paper that the ''use of external lesions . . . as criteria related to carcinogen exposure is not recommended.''
Response: While the Department has great respect for Dr. Baumann`s opinion given his status as a leading investigator in this field, our decision to no longer rely on external tumors as indicators of environmental contaminant exposure is based on the full weight of evidence as discussed in response 2, above.
16. Different external tumor types means it`s a more severe problem.
Comment: One Commenter (1) stated that the fact that bullhead in Presque Isle Bay had different types of external tumors than those at the reference site (including squamous cell carcinomas) indicates that more severe environmental degradation than at our reference site (Long Point Inner Bay).
Response: The Department acknowledges that external tumors on Presque Isle Bay bullhead are both quantitatively and qualitatively different that the reference site. However, given the current state of the science, this fact provides no additional insight with respect to the causes of the tumors of the utility of these tumors as indicators of environmental contamination.
