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—6026.907)
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. 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. If information concerning this acknowledgment 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.

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 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 received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office listed before the applications. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule appointments.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit shall indicate interests to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and shall file protests or comments on a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed documents to persons or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that hearings be held concerning a proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit. A comment or protest filed with the Department regional office shall 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 listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.

Pocono Township, Monroe CountyThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. Sections 6020.101 et.seq., reopens the administrative record on December 22, 2012, pursuant to Section 506(h) of HSCA, 35 P. S. Section 6020.506(h), to provide the public the opportunity to comment on the proposed addition to the previously selected interim response.
The Department reopens the administrative record pursuant to Section 506(g) and (h) of HSCA, 35 P. S. Sections 6020.506(g) and 6020.506(h). The Department is adding the following to the interim response selected in the January 25, 2012, Statement of Decision (SOD): demolition of the existing house (former Yuhas house) and the recycling and/or offsite disposal at a permitted facility of the demolition debris and any other excess wastes or recyclable materials generated during the interim response. The selected interim response in the approved SOD includes relocation of a portion of the Dry Sawmill Run away from the toe of the Construction and Demolition (''C&D'') waste pile, stabilization of the waste pile with the construction of a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (''MSE Wall'') and the grading, covering and vegetation of the waste pile material.
The Department and Pocono Township have determined that the former Yuhas house should be demolished due to safety concerns and the Department needs additional space for the safe movement of equipment and for storage during site work. The house has suffered damage and deterioration as a result of fire, water, wind, vandals and appears unfit for human habitation; dangerous to life and safety; and the structure does not appear to be capable of being properly repaired. Neither the Department nor the Township has been able to contact the current owner of record, LIG Investments, Inc. The LIG/Yuhas property was for sale at the May 2, 2012 Judicial Tax Sale due to delinquent taxes. The property was not sold and is now on the Monroe County Repository Tax Sale List. On July 16, 2012, Pocono Township adopted a Dangerous Structures Ordinance, 2012-03, which would authorize the demolition of the dilapidated Yuhas house. On August 6, 2012, Pocono Township adopted Resolution No. 622, which provides for emergency action under Section 9 of Ordinance 2012-03 to allow the immediate demolition of the Yuhas house.
The new information is available within the administrative record for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at Pocono Township Municipal Building, P. O. Box 197 (Route 611), Tannersville, PA 18372 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The Township Building is closed from 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM for lunch.
The new information contained in the administrative record will be open for comment for 60 days from the date published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The administrative record will be open for comment from December 22, 2012 through February 20, 2013. Persons may submit written comments regarding the new information entered into the record during this time only, by sending their comments to Meg Boyer, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a Public Hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for February 6, 2013 at 10:30 AM at the Pocono Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the proposed addition to the interim response, which involves the demolition of the former Yuhas house and the recycling and/or offsite disposal at a permitted facility of the demolition debris and any other excess wastes or recyclable materials generated during the interim response. Persons wishing to present testimony at the February 6, 2013 Public Hearing regarding the addition to the interim response should register with Meg Boyer by telephone at (610) 861-2070, or in writing to Meg Boyer at the Department's Bethlehem District Office.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the February 6, 2013 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Meg Boyer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
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.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
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—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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.

Justification for Overriding County's Recommendations On September 5, 2008, the Department received comments from the Clearfield County Commissioners concerning the new permit application. After a full review of the permit application and the Commissioner's comments, the Department issued the Waste Management and Watersheds permits. Following are relevant comments pertaining to the application and the basis for overriding these comments:
Comment # 1: The proposed landfill is materially inconsistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan.
Response: The County's Comprehensive Plan addresses the development of new landfills in Chapter 2: ''Citizen Participation/ Visioning.'' This chapter is a compilation of a public survey. However, Chapter 8: ''Community Services and Utility Facilities'' refers to the County's Municipal Waste Management Plan. These plans are not required to address Residual Waste Facilities. Municipal zoning permits a residual waste facility. The Department did not consider the landfill to be inconsistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan or its land use policy.
Comment # 2: The proposed landfill would negatively impact our developing tourism industry.
Response: Impact on developing tourism is not a factor in the Department's application review.
Comment # 3: The proposed landfill would be detrimental to proposed ''West Branch'' scenic byway.
Response: The traffic impacts of this project were reviewed in detail and approved by PaDOT and have been addressed and concurred in by the Department.
Comment # 4: The proposed landfill would create traffic-associated impacts.
Response: The traffic impacts of this project were reviewed in detail and approved by PaDOT and have been addressed and concurred in by the Department.
Comment # 5: The proposed landfill could create environmental impacts to an exceptional value watershed.
Response: The proximity and possible impacts to the exceptional value waters have been evaluated in depth by the Department. The setbacks required by the regulations have been met and the potential impacts to the watershed have been minimized to the Department's satisfaction.
Comment # 6: The harms from the proposed landfill materially outweigh the benefits.
Response: The Department conducted an Environmental Assessment Analysis in which the information submitted by the applicant was utilized and independently reviewed by the Department. The Department performed the Environmental Assessment Analysis as required by the Department's regulations and concluded that the benefits of the project outweighed the harms. To see the specific analysis encompassed in the Environmental Assessment dated December 2011 which addresses the specific concerns outlined by the County, contact DEP's Northcentral Regional Office.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Limestone Run Watershed in Northumberland County and Montour County, Pennsylvania The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Limestone Run Watershed in Northumberland County and Montour County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Limestone Run Watershed. The sediment loading was allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. 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 estimated current sediment loading for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

To request a copy of any of the proposed TMDLs contact Scott Alexander, Water Program Specialist, Bureau of Point and Non-Point Source Management, Central Office, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105, Phone: 717-772-5670, e-mail: salexander@pa.gov The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days after publication in the PA Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held upon request.
