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 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 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 of Environmental Protection Regional Office under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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.
Notice is hereby given that DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/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 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 the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP 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 DEP 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. Any comments or protests filed with DEP 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 DEP 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. 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the Act.

PSD air quality modeling shows that the maximum impacts for CO, NO2 and PM10 are below the class II area significance levels. A full impact analysis to determine PSD increment consumption and compliance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards was therefore not necessary. Class I area analyses for visibility and increment were conducted for the Otter Creek and Dolly Sods Wilderness Areas in West Virginia. Refined CALPUFF modeling shows that the project will not have significant impact on visibility or deposition in these areas.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Mears Enterprises, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Ondo Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: Mears Enterprises, Inc. requested a variance from section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to drill holes to determine whether or not the projected mining would be negatively impacted by the country banks adjacent to the Ondo Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224(b).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The long horizontal borehole method proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224 is a proven technology which has been used successfully at the Ondo Mine and other underground mines in this Commonwealth.
2. The long horizontal borehole method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides much less exposure to lifting and strain type injuries, by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes, rather than mining the outside entry 8 feet at a time.
3. The long horizontal borehole proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224(b) will provide a greater coal barrier than required by section 224(b). Mears Enterprises Inc.'s proposed long horizontal borehole method provides a 267% larger barrier for the protection of miners from contacting the abandoned mine over the requirements of section 224(b).
4. The long horizontal boreholes will provide a quicker method to close the borehole in the event of contacting the abandoned mine by closing the valve located at the end of the pipe grouted in the rib and will be more suitable for grouting, if needed.
5. The long horizontal borehole will provide a much larger area of coverage for protecting the workers against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine.
This approval is limited to the alternate method to drill test holes as required in section 224(b). All other terms and requirements of section 224(b) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Ondo's plan.
