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, or 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)(l)(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 as 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, please 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice, and must file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval Or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

Rynone Manufacturing Corp. is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit has been issued.
The information provided by the applicant indicates that the subject modification will increase the facility's potential to emit styrene and methyl methacrylate by 8.9 tons and 0.9 ton per 12 consecutive month period respectively. Styrene and methyl methacrylate are both classified as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). A preliminary review of the information submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed modification will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the ''best available technology'' requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue a plan approval to modify. If the plan approval is issued and if the cast polymer operations are subsequently found to be in compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and plan approval conditions, the plan approval will be incorporated into Operating Permit 08-00004 by administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
In order to ensure compliance with all applicable standards, the Department proposes to place the following requirements in the respective plan approval.
* This plan approval is issued for the modification of a cast polymer facility comprised of four production lines and associated cleanup operations. The modification is an increase of 9.8 tons per 12 consecutive month period in the amount of VOCs and HAPs which the production lines are allowed to emit. This plan approval is also issued for the construction of a marble casting resin machine.
* The total combined VOC emissions from this facility following modification shall not exceed 35.9 tons per 12 consecutive month period, the total combined HAP emissions shall not exceed 37.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period and the total acetone emissions shall not exceed 26.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period.
* The styrene emissions shall not exceed 24.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period from the use of gel coats and 9.0 tons per 12 consecutive month period from the use of casting resins.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Prompt Interim Response Sandy Lake Asbestos Site Stoneboro Borough, Mercer County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is conducting a response action at the Sandy Lake Asbestos Site (site). The site is located in Stoneboro Borough, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, approximately 1,250 feet west of the junction of the former Penn Central railroad line, and Route 845. The site consists of an abandoned manufacturing building in very poor condition, surrounded by piles of asbestos-containing wastes. Access to the site is unrestricted, and it is evident that the site is frequented by trespassers.
The Department sampled a surface waste pile at the site. This sampling indicated that asbestos is present above the threshold level required for regulating asbestos-containing wastes.
For this prompt interim response, the Department considered three alternatives for the site: 1) no action; 2) disposal of the asbestos-containing wastes in an onsite landfill; and 3) excavation and removal of the asbestos-containing wastes for disposal at a permitted offsite landfill.
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 Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate 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 3 as the prompt interim response for the site. This alternative was selected because it would, in the most cost-effective manner, protect the public and environment from direct contact with asbestos-containing wastes, and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of asbestos into the environment.
This notice is being provided under 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 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please telephone before hand for an appointment, (814) 332-6648.
The administrative record will be open for comment from December 16, 2000, until March 16, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James W. Weaver, 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. Persons wishing to present comments must register with James Weaver at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before January 16, 2001, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact James Weaver. If no one registers to present oral comments before January 16, 2001, the public meeting will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call James Weaver at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Rosebud Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Roaring Run Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Rosebud Mining Company requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Roaring Run Mine. The proposal accords protection to personnel and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. Roaring Run's plan provides for an advanced fire detection and control system consisting of CO monitors, thermal detectors, and a fire suppression system.
2. Roaring Run's plan provides a separate intake escapeway that will be isolated from the belt conveyor entries. The isolated intake escapeway will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. Roaring Run's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Safer access is provided to workers performing repair and maintenance work in the belt entry. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to the use of entries in common with the belt entry. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Roaring Run's plan and the following conditions.
1. Operation, maintenance and calibration of the point CO (carbon monoxide) monitor system shall comply with the manufacturer's recommendations and DEP equipment approval number BOTE 1712-98.
2. At all times, Rosebud Mining Company shall comply with the requirements of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) Fire Fighting and Evacuation Plan.
3. Notification of DEP District Mine Inspector when the point CO monitor system has been installed.
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved Sarah Resources, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Sarah Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Sarah Resources, Inc. requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Sarah Mine. The proposal accords protection to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:
1. Sarah's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors and audible alarm over the mine communications system.
2. Sarah's plan provides a separate intake escapeway that will be isolated from the belt conveyor entries. The isolated intake escapeway will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. Sarah's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Safer access is provided to workers performing repair and maintenance work in the belt entry. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to the use of entries in common with the belt entry. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Sarah Mine's plan and the conditions stated in the Department's approval. The conditions are:
1. If a condition that causes higher pressure to develop in the common entries than the intake escapeway cannot practicably be corrected, the mine operator shall notify the Department of the condition, the specific cause, area affected, and the steps that will be taken to maintain the pressure in the belt and common entries at the lowest attainable level.
2. Operation, maintenance and calibration of the point CO (carbon monoxide) monitoring system shall comply with the manufacturer's recommendation and DEP equipment approval number BOTE 1712-98.
3. Sarah Resources, Inc. shall comply with the requirements of the most currently approved Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) Fire Fighting and Evacuation Plan.
4. Notification of DEP District Mine Inspector when the point CO monitoring system has been installed.
