[Continued from previous Web Page] 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--6026.908).
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.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 the Department, 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.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the 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 a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department 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 Department 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. Comments or protests filed with the Department 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 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 identified before the application. TDD users should 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 121-143, the Federal Clean Air Act (act) and regulations adopted under the act.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Site Investigation General Alloy Casting Company Site, Rochester Township, Beaver County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is proposing a site investigation at General Alloy Casting Company Site, Rochester Township, Beaver County, PA.
Under the authority of the HSCA, the Department is proposing a response action for the Site. The Site consists of industrial waste disposal areas located on the side of a steep ravine above McKinley Run in the Township of Rochester, Beaver County. The Site is adjacent to a mixed residential/industrial area. McKinley Run is a tributary to the Beaver River that flows into the Ohio River, a WWF under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 (relating to water quality standards). The most recent waste disposal activities are from waste generated from the operations of the General Alloy Casting Company. General Alloy Casting Company operated a bronze foundry from 1947 until 1982 located at 600 New York Avenue, Rochester, PA.
The waste is on the hillside portion of the 2.8 acre property. A building exists on the flatter portion of the property upgradient of the waste area. The following waste types and quantities were disposed of into the ravine from the operations of the General Alloy Casting Company: tool foundry grinding and cut-off dusts, bronze foundry shot blast collector dusts, electric furnace emission control dusts. In addition, waste glass was disposed of at the Site in the early 20th century from nearby glass manufacturing facilities.
Based on historical information and sampling, the Department has determined that lead, arsenic and nickel have been released from the Site. Lead, arsenic and nickel are hazardous substances as defined by the HSCA.
The current and/or potential threat from the Site to human health or welfare is the direct contact of the contamination to persons entering the area where the disposal area is located or coming into contact with surface water contaminated from seepage from the waste. The current and/or potential threats that adversely affect the environment is the possible contamination of the soil, groundwater and surface water related to the disposal area as a result of leaching of contamination from the waste.
The objectives and scope of the proposed response are to determine the extent of the disposal area and the nature of the material disposed and determine if contamination has migrated from the disposal area into the soil, groundwater, or surface water.
The following alternatives were evaluated:
Alternative 1. This alternative consists of taking no action to investigate the extent of contamination at the Site or determine the threats related to the release of hazardous substances from the Site.
Alternative 2. This alternative consists of conducting a site investigation to determine the extent of the disposal area and the nature of the materials disposed. The investigation will also determine if contamination has migrated into the soil, groundwater and/or surface water. In addition, an evaluation will be made of remediation alternatives designed to address the threats related to the Site.
