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 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)(1)(iii) 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.

Rynone Manufacturing Corp. (P. O. Box 128, Sayre, PA 18840-0128) has submitted an application (08-00004A) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for approval to modify the fiberglass reinforced plastics operations in Sayre Borough, Bradford County.
Rynone Manufacturing Corp. is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (08-00004A) has been issued.
The information provided by the applicant indicates that the subject modification will increase the facility's potential to emit styrene by 9.8 tons per 12 consecutive month period. Styrene is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). 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 fiberglass reinforced plastics 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 49-00014 via 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 fiberglass reinforced plastics 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 24.6 tons per 12 consecutive month period from the use of gel coats and 9.3 tons per 12 consecutive month period from the use of resins.
* All clear gel coats shall contain less than 50% styrene monomer by weight.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Notice of Final Remedial Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Gettysburg Foundry Specialties Company Cumberland Township, Adams County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is considering initiating a final remedial action for the Gettysburg Foundry Specialties Company (GFSC) site. Under the Department's proposed action waste disposed in two onsite pits will be excavated and transported offsite for disposal, waste remaining in the two buildings onsite will be removed and disposed, and point-of-service water treatment systems will be installed on residential wells that are impacted by contaminated groundwater and have contamination above Statewide health standards.
The GFSC site is a 49-acre parcel located in Cumberland Township, Adams County, about 4 miles south of Gettysburg on the Emmitsburg Road. The surrounding area is rural with some residential and commercial/recreational developments nearby. This area is zoned commercial. The site is located in the Marsh-Rock Creeks Watershed.
From 1957 to 1997, the plant produced aluminum ingots from recycled aluminum. The aluminum dross fine waste produced during the process and the baghouse dust produced by the facility's air pollution control system were mixed and disposed in two unpermitted onsite pits. The aluminum dross waste fines are comprised primarily of salt, dirt and aluminum oxide. It is approximately 37% salt and also contains additional metals, including arsenic, cadmium, chromium and lead. The dross waste is reactive with water and generates ammonia gas and heat when wet. The baghouse dust, generated by the air pollution control system, is designated a hazardous waste because it tests characteristically hazardous for cadmium and lead under the TCLP. The first disposal pit, used from 1968 until 1979, is about 1.75 acres in size with an average depth of 8 feet. The second disposal pit, used from 1980 until 1988, is about 2 acres in size with an average depth of 17 feet. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 20, 1996 and ceased operations on March 13, 1997. The site is currently owned by C. M. Metals Gettysburg, Inc.
The Department has considered eight alternatives for the remediation of the site. Six of these alternatives pertain to the waste at the site and two are for the groundwater. The following are brief descriptions of these alternatives.
1. No Action: This alternative does not require the implementation of any remedial activities at the site and will serve as the baseline for comparison. Soil and groundwater conditions found during site investigation activities will not be addressed except through natural attenuation.
2. Institutional Controls: Access restrictions and deed restrictions on the use of the property would be implemented to restrict exposure to the constituents of concern. The installation of a perimeter property fence and posting of warning signs would also be included to minimize potential public and environmental contact with the contaminated areas. A groundwater-monitoring program would also be incorporated to provide information on possible changes in site conditions. A health advisory should be issued and the use of groundwater in the vicinity of the site should be limited. Residential wells in the vicinity of the GFSC property that have been impacted from site contaminants would be supplied bottled water to serve as a potable water supply. No other remedial activities would be implemented at the site under this alternative.
3. Excavation and Offsite Disposal: Waste and impacted material in excess of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2) will be excavated and removed from the site for disposal at an approved offsite facility. An estimated 33,000 cubic yards of material will be removed and disposed of from the site, with an allowance of 3,000 cubic yards to be excavated from the wetlands. The excavated area will then be backfilled and revegetated. Pit 2 will not be backfilled to its present grade, but will be regraded to follow the natural topography. It is assumed due to the mounding of the dross waste pits that approximately 50 percent of the volume of the excavated material will need to be replaced to provide adequate drainage and prevent ponding at the site.
4. Geomembrane Cap and Slurry Wall: This alternative includes consolidation of the waste material and contaminated soils into the pit areas and installation of a geomembrane cap and slurry wall over and around the perimeter of the consolidation area.
5. Asphalt Cap and Slurry Wall: This alternative includes consolidation of the waste material into the pit areas, and installation of an asphalt cap and slurry wall over and around the perimeter of the consolidation area.
6. In Situ Solidification: This alternative requires the solidification of all the impacted material within the waste pit area and installation of a vegetative cover over the treated area.
7. Groundwater Recovery/Treatment: This option includes active groundwater recovery activities that will be used to treat groundwater conditions at the site and is intended to be incorporated with another remedial alternative, which addresses the dross waste pits and contaminated soils at the GFSC property. Groundwater will be recovered from the area surrounding dross waste pits or excavated dross waste pit area with extraction wells or a trench system, treated using an onsite metals-precipitation unit, and discharged to the creek under permit. This alternative does not include any provisions for the recovery of groundwater that has already migrated off the GFSC property.
8. Point Source Treatment: This option includes the active treatment of individual residential water supplies impacted by GFSC. Water supplies will be treated with reverse osmosis treatment units. This alternative does not include any provisions for the recovery of groundwater except at the point source locations where it is being extracted and used.
The Department is proposing to implement remedial Alternative 3. Under this alternative, waste and impacted material in excess of the applicable Act 2 standards will be excavated and disposed at an approved offsite facility. Under the selected remedy, the Foundry and Ball Mill Buildings will also be cleaned out. Any waste remaining in the buildings, including the material in and around equipment and machinery will be removed and disposed. This also includes any waste remaining in the Baghouse system. The Department also proposes implementing Alternative 8 for the groundwater, which involves installing point source treatment systems on residential wells that have been impacted by the Foundry and have contaminants exceeding Statewide health standards. The effectiveness, permanence, protectiveness and cost of Alternatives 3 and 8 were the reasons these alternatives were selected. The proposed responses for the site are protective of human health and the environment, comply with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate requirements, and are technically feasible.
This notice is provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)), and publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action is available for public review and comment at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Quittapahilla Creek, Deep Run, and Earlakill Run Watersheds in Lebanon County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Quittapahilla Creek, Deep Run, and Earlakill Run watersheds in Lebanon County. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Pennsylvania's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included surface waters in the Quittapahilla Creek, Deep Run, and Earlakill Run watersheds. The inclusion of these watersheds on the 303(d) lists was due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation, suspended solids and/or nutrients emanating from agricultural land uses in the watersheds.
The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for siltation, suspended solids or nutrients. Therefore, the Department established water quality objectives for them using a reference watershed approach. These water quality objectives were set with the expectation that they could be reasonably achieved.
The TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorus in the Quittapahilla Creek, Deep Run and Earlakill Run watersheds. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to its being the limiting nutrient in these watersheds. The sediment and phosphorus loadings were allocated among all 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 current sediment and phosphorus loadings for the Quittapahilla Creek (including four named tributary basins), Deep Run, and Earlakill Run watersheds. Load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact: Joseph P. Hepp, Water Pollution Biologist 2, Water Management Program, Southcentral Regional Office, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4788, e-mail: hepp.joseph@dep.state.pa.us. The TMDLs can be viewed and printed from the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/WC/subjects/WQStandards/TMDL/TMDLs.htm). Please note that at the current time, attachments and appendices must be requested through paper mail.
Additionally, the Department will hold a public meeting to address any outstanding concerns regarding the three TMDLs listed.
The meeting will be held on December 21, 2000 in the auditorium of the Lebanon County Court House, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042 beginning at 7 p.m. Any person wishing to attend the meeting should call Ms. Charlotte Bonafair at (717) 705-4703. If no person expresses an interest in attending the meeting by December 15, the meeting will not be held. In addition, any person wishing to submit official comments must do so in writing by January 31, 2001. Written comments should be sent to Joseph Hepp at the above address or by email as indicated.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval.
