LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 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--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the Background Standard, Statewide Health Standard, the Site-Specific Standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, a combination of the cleanup standards or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a Site-Specific Standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a Site-Specific Standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality within which the site is located may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

The proposed plant would operate under the primary SIC Code 1311 for coal gasification and liquefaction and use four major technology systems: (1) gasification technology from Shell, which would be particularly suitable for processing the high ash anthracite coal waste that would provide the primary feed to the plant into synthesis gas consisting primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen; (2) synthesis gas treatment and cleaning technology systems to remove solid particulate matter and gaseous contaminants to trace concentrations; (3) indirect liquefaction for converting the produced clean synthesis gas into synthetic hydrocarbon liquids using Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) technology from SASOL Technology, Ltd., and (4) combustion of the unconverted gas in a gas turbine/combined cycle power plant with steam turbo-generators to produce electricity and steam, primarily for internal use, within the plant.
The proposed project is subject to the various state and federal New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) requirements.
A review of the information submitted by The WMPI PTY, LLC indicates that the proposed project will meet all applicable state and federal NSPS air quality requirements. Based upon these findings, DEP plans to approve the application and issue a permit for the facility.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the application submitted and the Department's own analysis:

For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

Drums, PA 18222
Luzerne Plan Description: The Plan calls for the upgrade and expansion of the Township's St. Johns Wastewater Treatment Facility from a permitted capacity of 0.6 mgd to 2.2 mgd (Design Maximum Monthly Flow). The Plan also calls for the St. Johns facility to be converted to a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) configuration for treatment of the wastewater that it receives. The Drums Wastewater Treatment Facility will be abandoned and replaced with a 1.0 mgd pumping station. Wastewater will be conveyed via a 9,000 foot, 8-inch force main from the proposed pumping station to the St. Johns Wastewater Treatment Facility for ultimate treatment and discharge to Nescopeck Creek.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative and operation of the existing and proposed facilities will be performed by the Township.
The Department reminds the Township that all portions and recommendations of the selected wastewater disposal alternative found in the Township's June, 2001 Plan and described in the Department's Plan approval correspondence to Butler Township, dated March 29, 2002, and not changed by this approval must continue to be fully implemented under the implementation schedule found in the respective Plan.
Financing of the proposed wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment systems is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to your municipality's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require an NPDES Permit for the proposed increase in the treated wastewater effluent discharge for the St. Johns Wastewater Treatment Facilities. This permit application must be submitted in the name of the Township.
The proposed project will also require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. This permit application must also be submitted in the name of the Township. Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law. The Department's review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

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--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (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, shall 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 refuse 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 after 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.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATIONS Northeast Region: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790.
Notice of Final Action on Request for Certification Under Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Certification Request initiated by and applicant, PPL Holtwood, LLC, Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania 18101. Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 487, Project), on Lake Wallenpaupack, in Hawley Borough, Wayne and Pike Counties, ACOE Philadelphia District, Hawley Quadrangle N: 16.25 inches; W: 0.75 inch (discharge), source water (Lake Wallenpaupack) is approximately 3.5 miles upstream.
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: Volume 34, No. 40, on October 2, 2004
Project Description: PPL Holtwood, LLC has requested a Section 401 State Water Quality Certification for the operation of the Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project near Hawley Borough in Wayne and Pike Counties. The Project is used primarily to meet the peak demands within Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection, with limitations on generation set by both natural inflows to the lake and seasonal recreational demands. The Project operates on an annual storage basis, which is achieved through the use of seasonal ''target'' lake elevations that are at times specifically constrained by the license terms and conditions. With both generator units, a total outflow ranging up to 1,800 cfs were typically started and shut down simultaneously, and were operated at a relatively fixed generation level over the course of the day. PPL Holtwood, LLC expect to continue to operate the project under its current peaking mode of operation, to continue to provide ancillary power services as previous, and to continue to operate for recreational, environmental, drought, and flood control needs with certain modifications and enhancements: implementation of a new monthly lake elevation target schedule during normal (non-drought periods); implementation of a revised drought operation plan; implementation of a deferred trout temperature regulation program for the Lackawaxen River (from river mile 4 through 10 not to exceed a maximum of 77°F); implementation of restricted weekend generation during the spring trout seasons; implementing operation and testing of recently installed turbine draft tube aeration system for downstream dissolved oxygen (DO); curbing the range of area regulation operations during six summer weekdays to enhance weekday whitewater boating opportunities; and scheduling of two weekend whitewater boating flow releases.
Applicable Conditions: On September 23, 2003, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) certified that there is reasonable assurance that the Lake Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project (Project) owned and operated by PPL Holtwood, LLC (Owner), on the Lackawaxen River will comply with section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341) and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 96. Notice of the Department's September 23, 2003 certification was published on November 1, 2003 in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, Vol. 3, No. 44. On October 23, 2003 the Owner appealed the Department's September 23, 2003 certification to the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board. As a result of settlement negotiations, the Department modifies the September 23, 2003 certification as follows:
1. The following paragraph has been added to paragraph 2a of the certification:
''The pH of the discharge may be less than the standard/range as specified in 25 Pa. Code 93.7 if the Owner can demonstrate that the pH of the discharge is not less than the pH of the lake water as measured at the penstock tap in the powerhouse building. The Department will accept simultaneous sampling as a component of such a demonstration.''
2. Paragraph 2b of the certification has been modified to read as follows:
''The Owner shall conduct annual in-stream benthos monitoring in the years 2006, 2007, and 2008 at two stations, Station 1 above the discharge approximately 600 feet and Station 2 below the discharge approxi-mately 1300 feet, in accordance with the PADEP--RBP Benthic Macroinvertebrate Sample Collection and Processing Methodology for Cause/ Effect Surveys attached hereto as Appendix A. Thereafter, the Owner shall conduct in-stream benthos monitoring as set forth in this paragraph once every five years. The station locations are fixed and should not change without prior approval from PADEP. The Owner will follow the sample collection protocol set forth in Appendix A for a stream greater than 50 feet in width. Samples must be collected between August 1 and October 31 during normal to low stream flow conditions. The benthic macroinvertebrate report shall be submitted by February 1st of the following year to PADEP.''
Final Action on Request: The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''PADEP'') hereby certifies that there is reasonable assurance that the Lake Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Project (''Project''), owned and operated by PPL Holtwood, LLC (''Owner''), located on the Lackawaxen River, Pennsylvania, will comply with Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341) and Pennsylvania's Water Quality Standards (25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 96) provided that the Project is operated and monitored in a manner consistent with the conditions contained herein.
