Preamble 1

---

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, 303, 304 and 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 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 site(s) identified below 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 below, 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 of Environmental Protection 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.

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 file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested person 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 DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

   The Department of Environmental Protection has taken actions on municipal requests for Act 537 Plan Approval.

   Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O.

Actions under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

---

   Southeast Regional Office:  Sewage Planning Specialist Supervisor, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Marple Township, Morton Borough, Nether Providence Township, Prospect Park Borough, Ridley Park Borough, Ridley Township, Rutledge Borough, Springfield Township and Swarthmore Borough, Delaware County to provide for the diversion of existing sewage flows currently treated at the City of Philadelphia Southwest Wastewater Treatment Facility to the DELCORA Western Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility (WRWWTF). This will be accomplished by upgrade, expansion and modification to the Central Delaware County Sewer Authority Service Area Pump Station to 12 mgd average annual and 40 mgd peak instantaneous and construction of a new force main to connect to the existing Chester Force Main at Concord Avenue. The diverted flows will be managed so as to not cause an exceedance of the permitted capacity at the WRWWTF nor exceed maximum daily flow of 12 million gallons. The balance of the sewage flow above 12 million gallons will continue to be pumped to the City of Philadelphia Southwest Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this approval. A Water Quality Part II permit is required for the facility.

SAFE DRINKING WATER

Actions taken under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17).

   Northeast Regional Office:  Sanitarian Regional Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, [phone].

   Permit No. 3599502. Public water supply. Pennsylvania American Water Company, 800 West Hershey Park Drive, Hershey, PA 17033. David R. Kaufman, Oper. Manager, 20 East Union Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701. This proposal involves an extension to the existing PAWC system that services a large portion of Lackawanna County. The project will serve the PEI Power Park, to provide the necessary pressure to serve the PEI Power Park. Water will be taken from the existing White Oak Finished Water Storage Tank (1MG) and pumped to the new Salem Mountain finished water tank via a 16" water main. The Salem Mountain Water Tank (05.MG) feeds the PEI Power Park by gravity. The elevation difference from the White Oak Water Tank to the Salem Mountain Water Tank is approximately 300 feet. Thus, the booster station is required to adequately maintain the new Salem Mountain Water Tank.
