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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

62-017O: United Refining Co., 15 Bradley Street Warren, PA for modification of the Naphtha hydrotreater in the City of Warren, Warren County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval to for the Warren Refinery in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility was issued a Title V permit No.TV-62-00017 on December 26, 2000, which was revised on March 21, 2001, and again on December 18, 2001. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. 62-0017O is for the modification of the Naphtha hydrotreater. In addition to the physical modifications to this unit, the refinery will experience an increase in emissions from the prefractionator 2 unit, the east and west reformers, and the sulfur recovery unit. The project is being proposed to enable United Refining to produce gasoline with sulfur levels of 30 ppm (annual average) and 80 ppm (maximum sulfur level). The sulfur will be removed from the existing stream by redirecting the light fluidized catalytic cracking naphtha to the existing Naphtha hydrotreater. United Refining also proposed modifications to the No. 4 boiler with installation of flue gas recirculation, but withdrew that proposal on December 7, 2006, and will submit a separate application for plan approval for the boiler at a later date.
The projected increase in emissions due to this project for NOx is 35.3 tons per year, CO is 17.6 tons per year, PM is 11.3 tons per year, PM10 is 11.2 tons per year and SO is 37.6 tons per year. The projected increase was determined based on the average of calendar year 2004 and 2005 actual emissions compared to the projected actual emissions in accordance with the Prevention of Significant Deterioration applicability procedures in 40 CFR Part 52. The NOx and VOCs potential emissions remain unchanged. The plan approval does not trigger nonattainment new source review regulations or Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations.
The permit will incorporate monitoring and recordkeeping requirements for the quantity of fuel burned, the heat content of the fuel, the hours of operation and the emissions from the heaters. The permit also incorporates the Federal maximum achievable control technology requirements for the Reformer and the Sulfur Recovery Unit (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart UUU) and the existing applicable requirements for the source from the Title V Operating Permit. The permit also incorporates conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements.
Copies of the applications, Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Northwest Regional Department Office, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.

The Department will consider any written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Each written comment must contain the following:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
Identification of the proposed permit [Permit Nos. 62-017O].
A concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines telephone notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Matthew Williams, New Source Review, Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6940.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an 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. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
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.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Laborde Branch Watershed in Clearfield County Moshannon District Mining Office: 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held on February 7, 2007, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Moshannon District Mining Office on Enterprise Drive in Philipsburg, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office at (814) 342-8200 no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, February 2, 2007. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). Two stream segments in each of Laborde Branch Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 48803 Laborde Branch 3.9 48807 Luthersburg Branch 1.3 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese, and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/
DissolvedAluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 3 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed. All written comments must be postmarked by March 2, 2007 and sent to: John Mital, Licensed Professional Geologist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Moshannon District Mining Office, contact John Mital at the phone number or e-mail address indicated previously.
The proposed TMDL for the Laborde Branch Watershed can be accessed through the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us) by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field, ad clicking GO. Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meting should contact the department at (814) 472-1900 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
