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.

This notice of final action 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—691.101) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
Location Permit Authority Application Type or Category Section I NPDES Renewals Section II NPDES New or Amendment Section III WQM Industrial, Sewage or Animal Wastes; Discharges to Groundwater Section IV NPDES MS4 Individual Permit Section V NPDES MS4 Permit Waiver Section VI NPDES Individual Permit Stormwater Construction Section VII NPDES NOI for Coverage under NPDES General Permits Sections I—VI contain actions regarding industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater, and discharges associated with MS4, stormwater associated with construction activities and CAFOs. Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for Coverage under General NPDES Permits. The approval for coverage under these General NPDES Permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions in each General Permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions in the respective permit. The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) 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 Administrative Agency Law). The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 contact 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.

Luzerne Plan Description: The Plan's selected construction alternative is Alternative No. 4—Construct Parallel Ten-Inch Force Mains. This alternative proposes the construction of two, ten-inch, PVC force mains (each approximately 4,400 feet in length) between the existing Wyoming Street Pump Station Site and the point at which wastewater flow transitions from pressurized to gravity flow on Highland Street as shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. The alternative further proposes the replacement of approximately 2,600 feet of an existing twelve-inch, gravity wastewater conveyance line, located between the pressure-to-gravity transition point on Highland Street and the Freeland Municipal Authority's (Authority) Wastewater Treatment Facility as shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. The twelve-inch gravity line will be replaced with a fifteen-inch, PVC gravity wastewater conveyance line, in an alignment shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. All of the previously listed construction activities are designed to facilitate the abandonment of the Authority's existing eight-inch, cast-iron force main that conveys wastewater between the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site and the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
This planning approval also recognizes the following facilities that were previously constructed by the Authority and/or Foster Township (Township) without first receiving explicit sewage planning approval from the Department:
- Replacement of the Authority's only permitted Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Point's control and overflow structures at a location adjacent to the existing control and overflow structures, in lieu of locating the control and overflow structures adjacent to the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site.
- Construction of 400,000 gallons of equalization capacity, in lieu of 250,000 gallons of equalization capacity, at the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
- Decrease, from three to two, in the number of primary clarifier trains at the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
- The construction of one pump station, in lieu of two pump stations (as proposed in the Borough's and Township's previously approved Official Sewage Facilities Plans) at the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site.
The Plan also calls for the preparation of a Special Study (defined in Section 71.1 of the Department's regulations), as a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plans of Freeland Borough (Borough) and Foster Township. The Special Study will be completed to thoroughly investigate the technical adequacy of the existing Wyoming Street Pump Station (previously constructed and now owned by Foster Township and operated by the Authority) to meet both the Borough's and the Township's long-term wastewater disposal needs. The investigation will include a period of wastewater flow monitoring, as described in the Plan, in both the Authority's and Foster Township's collection/conveyance systems. The flow monitoring data will be utilized to evaluate the following:
1. The ability of the Wyoming Street Pump Station (owned by the Township) and its associated force main(s) (owned by the Authority) to adequately convey both dry and wet-weather (including snowmelt) wastewater flows to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility under peak instantaneous flow conditions.
2. The ability of the Wyoming Street Pump Station to meet the redundancy and all other requirements found in the Department's Domestic Wastewater Facilities Manual in Major Section 30—Wastewater Pumping Stations.
3. The wastewater flow value, in gallons per day, of an Equivalent Dwelling Unit in both the Authority's and the Township's wastewater collection system service area. The base wastewater, sanitary component and the infiltration/inflow (I/I) component shall be determined for both wastewater collection systems' service areas. These figures will then be utilized to determine the peak hourly flow that can pass through the Authority's wastewater treatment facility, during wet-weather and snowmelt periods, with the treated discharge of the facility meeting all treated effluent discharge parameters found in the Authority's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
4. Based on the flow data gathered, as described in Item 3 above, and an evaluation of the Authority's wastewater collection, and Borough-owned stormwater collection systems in Sub-Areas 3 and 4 that are tributary to the existing CSO point, whether the existing CSO point still qualifies as a bona fide combined sewer overflow point under both the Department's and the United States Environmental Protection Agency's rules, regulations and technical guidance documents. If the Special Study concludes that the Authority's existing CSO point no longer qualifies as a bona fide combined sewer overflow point, the Special Study will provide alternatives for the adequate collection and conveyance of all dry and wet-weather flows (including snowmelt) to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility for treatment.
5. Based on the flow data gathered, as described in Item 3 above, and if it is determined that the Authority's existing CSO point is justified to remain in service, an analysis, using peak instantaneous flow data, which clearly determines whether the Authority's existing CSO point is able to capture, 85%, by volume, of the combined wastewater flows that pass through the point's control structure. This analysis will also evaluate alternatives to facilitate the capture of 85%, by volume, of the combined wastewater flows if it is determined that the Authority's wastewater conveyance system (including the Wyoming Street Pumping Station) cannot capture 85%, by volume, of the Authority's combined wastewater flows.
6. The need for additional rehabilitation and/or replacement of portions of the Authority's wastewater collection system to reduce infiltration and inflow to acceptable, non-excessive levels, as specified in Paragraph four found on Pages three and four of the Amendment to Consent Order and Adjudication dated January 13, 2000.
While this sewage planning approval correspondence now recognizes the existence of the Township-owned Wyoming Street Pump Station in the configuration described in the Plan, the Department, for sewage planning purposes, does not recognize a rated capacity for the pump station at this time. Numerous factors discussed in the Plan, with respect to incomplete or non-existent wastewater flow data, justify this position. Until adequate wastewater flow data and subsequent analyses (to be completed as part of the Special Study) fully substantiate the actual capacity of the Wyoming Street Pumping Station and its associated wastewater conveyance and treatment systems, new or additional wastewater flow that is to be conveyed through the Wyoming Street Pump Station will be controlled via sewer connection allocations administered by the Authority and granted by the Department under the terms of the January 13, 2000 Amendment to Consent Order and Adjudication between the Borough, Authority and the Department. The capacity of the Wyoming Street Pump Station shall be indeterminate until the Special Study proposed in the Plan is completed, approved by the Department and its recommended alternative(s) fully implemented.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative and operation of the proposed facilities will be performed by the Freeland Municipal Authority in conjunction with the tributary municipalities of Foster and Butler Townships.
Financing of the proposed wastewater conveyance system improvements is to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Program.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing. This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to Freeland Borough's and Foster Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Prompt Interim Response Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site located at 900 Delaware Avenue, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County. This response has been started pursuant to Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b).
The Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site involves an abandoned 5,000 gallon capacity above-ground carbon steel storage tank that contains concentrated liquid sulfuric acid and sludge. On the afternoon of October 30, 2013 a PADEP representative discovered that the tank was leaking acid into the diked concrete secondary containment area. The acid was dripping from the bottom of the tank at a plug into the containment area which at the time contained about six inches of a brown liquid with white foam and an acidic odor. The pH was measured with pH paper and color pH indicator strips and found to be zero.
The Acid tank is located within the former New Jersey Zinc East Plant property at 900 Delaware Avenue, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County. The acid tank was registered as an above-ground hazardous substance storage tank with the Department by the Zinc Corp. of America, a subsidiary of Horsehead Industries, Inc., under Facility ID of 13-11273 and Tank ID of 617718 and Tank sequence number ZCA023A. The sulfuric acid, reportedly a 96% concentration, was used for the neutral- ization/pH reduction of the wastewater/groundwater treatment plant discharge most recently operated by Horsehead Industries, Inc. Horsehead Industries, Inc. declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2002 and subsequently shutdown the treatment plant. Horsehead Corp. acquired portions of the property in December 2003 from the bankruptcy court not including the property on which the acid tank is located.
The Carbon County tax assessment parcel is reportedly 42A-47-B3 and Horsehead Liquidating Corp. is reportedly the property owner of record after the bankruptcy of Horsehead Industries, Inc. Access to the Site is through the entrance and the security guard shack of Horsehead Corp., who owns the property directly adjacent to the acid tank. The tank and containment area are within twenty feet of the outfall pit and weir that flows directly to the Aquashicola Creek. The Creek is about 300 feet from the tank. The closest residence is about 500 feet from the tank across the Creek along Little Gap Road.
The primary threats associated with the leaking sulfuric acid are the human health threat via direct contact with the acid and acidic solutions which could cause burns and tissue damage and the threat to the plants and animals in the Aquashicola Creek if the acid is released to the surface water and lowers the pH causing injury or mortality. Addition of water to the acid or many other chemicals could potentially cause an exothermic reaction that could release fumes and present a threat to nearby workers.
The Department decided that prompt action was needed to address the leaking concentrated sulfuric acid and the only practical alternative that would address the problem includes the transfer of the leaking acid and the acid/water solution from the diked secondary containment area into plastic tanks and containers. The response includes the cleaning and neutralization of the tank and containment area and the transportation and disposal of the waste liquids and sludges to hazardous waste management facilities.
The cleanup and neutralization of the tank and containment area was completed on December 23, 2013. The wastes generated from this cleanup include: the acid sludge and contaminated debris stored in 55-gallon drums (12) and the acid solution stored in 275 gallon totes (8) within secondary containment berms on the property. Off-site shipment of the wastes to a Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Facility is planned for January 2014.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Palmerton Public Library located at 402 Delaware Avenue in Palmerton and available for review during library hours.
The administrative record will be open for comment from February 1, 2014 until May 1, 2014. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James Kunkle, PADEP Supervisor, at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017 or by email to jkunkle@pa.gov.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Thursday March 13, 2014 at 10AM at the Palmerton Borough Hall located at 443 Delaware Avenue.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call James Kunkle at 610-861-2080 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The applicant proposes the installation of approximately 2.5 miles of 16 inch diameter natural gas pipeline starting at the Gallagher wellpad and terminating at the Cude wellpad in Greene and West Salem Townships, Mercer County, PA. The project will utilize new rites-of-way (ROWs), and existing public and private roads for construction, operations and maintenance activities. Approximately 0.015 acre of water obstructions to wetlands will occur as a result of the project due to the horizontal directional drill (HDD) method beneath the wetlands. No temporary wetland impacts, tree-clearing within wetland boundaries, or permanent wetland fill (loss of wetland area), and no wetland mitigation will be necessary. The project will result in 210 linear feet of temporary stream impacts and 0.0 acre of temporary wetland impacts.
