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.

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.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approvals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)

Plan Location: Christian Springs Road Residential Connection
Borough or
TownshipBorough or Township
AddressCounty Lower Nazareth Township Township Building
306 Butztown Road
Bethlehem, PA 18020Northampton Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the Christian Springs Road Residential Connection, which Lower Nazareth Township submitted to the Department on November 5, 2012. The submission was found to be consistent with the planning requirements given in Chapter 71 of the Rules and Regulations of the Department.
This Planning Module proposes to allow the future connection of 43 existing dwellings (currently served by on-lot sewage disposal systems) to the existing Gravity Sewer Main in Christian Springs Road. The sewer main conveys sewage to the Nazareth Borough Municipal Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant and was installed by the developer of the Trio Farms Development for the residents of that development.
During construction of the Gravity Sewer Main, the developer installed individual sewer service laterals to the township road right-of-way for future connection by the property owners along Christian Springs Road. The individual property owners will be responsible for contracting with a plumber to install their own laterals to connect to the sewer main. However, the homeowners will not be required to connect to the public sanitary sewer.
If all 43 existing dwellings connect to the public sewer system, the expected flow increase will be 8,600 GPD based on 200 gallons per day/EDU.
The existing sewer main is owned and operated by the Nazareth Borough Municipal Authority.
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.

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.

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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by 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.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

15-00008: Buckeye Terminals, LLC—Malvern Terminal (8 South Malin Road, Malvern, PA 19355) on December 7, 2012, for renewal of Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) 15-00008 in East Whiteland Township, Chester County. The facility's air emissions sources consist of a loading rack and an associated vapor recovery unit (''VRU''). The permittee has elected to restrict hazardous air pollutants (''HAPs'') emissions from the facility to less than 10 tons/yr for any individual HAP, and less than 25 tons/yr for total HAPs, to avoid being subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart R. The loading rack is subject to a gasoline throughput restriction of 425,000,000 gallons in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period.
Since the TVOP was last renewed in 2006, the only change that has occurred at the facility is the installation of a continuous emissions monitoring system (''CEMS'') on the VRU. However, since this time, the facility has become subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB. All applicable requirements of this regulation will be included in the renewed TVOP.
Because the VRU is equipped with a CEMS, the loading rack is no longer subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (''CAM'') requirements of 40 CFR Part 64.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Public Notification to Solicit Comments on Tri-County Landfill, Inc.'s Municipal Waste Landfill Application ID No. 101678. Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 271.143, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is soliciting comments on the proposed Municipal Waste Landfill Application, ID No. 101678 for Tri-County Landfill, Inc. (the Permittee), to re-open, construct, and operate a landfill, which is to be located at the existing closed landfill in Liberty and Pine Twps., Mercer County.
The application seeks to develop and operate new waste disposal areas within the previous 99-acre permit boundary of which approximately 44.5 acres were used as disposal area. The waste in old unlined disposal areas (approximately 1,551,000 cubic yards) would be excavated and relocated onto new lined disposal cells. The landfill application proposes to operate with the same average daily volume and maximum daily volume of 4,000 tons/day of waste received and a total proposed capacity of 10,289,100 cubic yards or approximately 7,565,515 tons. The landfill would operate six days a week (Monday—Saturday) twenty-four hours a day. It is proposed to conduct landfill operations in such a manner that putrescible waste will only be disposed during nighttime hours. This nighttime operation is being proposed by the application to address the potential concern of the landfill creating a bird hazard to aircraft using the nearby Grove City Airport.
A public meeting will be held for the purpose of answering questions on the proposed application. The meeting will be held on January 28, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. at the Grove City High School located at 511 Highland Avenue, Grove City, PA 16127. Staff from Department will answer questions on the application review process and applicable regulations, and Tri-County Landfill, Inc. officials will answer questions on the project.
The public meeting will be followed by a DEP public hearing beginning at 7:30 p.m. during which time citizens will have an opportunity to present oral testimony regarding the proposed application. To develop an agenda for the hearing, the Department requests that individuals wishing to testify at the hearing submit a written notice of their intent. This written notice should include the person's name, address, telephone number and a brief description as to the nature of the testimony. Individuals who submit a notice of intent to testify will be given priority on the agenda. If time permits, the Department will allow individuals who have not submitted a notice of intent to testify to present their comments. The notice should be sent to Gary Clark, Community Relations Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Citizens will have a maximum of five minutes each to present testimony. Written testimony of any length also will be accepted. The testimony will be recorded by a court reporter and transcribed into a written document. DEP will respond in writing to all relevant testimony provided during the public hearing. Persons unable to attend the hearing or those who did not get a chance to testify can submit written testimony to the Department through February 8, 2013.
Copies of the application, the Department's technical review and other supporting documents are available for public inspection between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
