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.

67-05083B: Conectiv Mid Merit, LLC, Delta Power Plant (P. O. Box 6066 92 DC 72, Newark, DE 19714-6066) to authorize the transfer and use of emission reduction credits (ERCs) for offset purposes for their gas turbine generator units located in Peach Bottom Township, York County. Conectiv Mid Merit, LLC (Conectiv) is a major facility subject to the emission offset requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter E (relating to new source review). This plan approval is granted solely for the transfer and use of ERCs according to 25 Pa. Code § 127.208(2), and does not authorize a person to construct, modify, or reactivate an air contaminant source or allow for the installation of an air cleaning device on an air contaminant source.
This plan approval authorizes the transfer and use of 3,521.09 tpy of NOx, 13,241.30 tpy of SO2 and 33.76 tpy of PM2.5 ERCs. This plan approval allows the use of 331.03 tpy of PM2.5 as offsets which is generated from the interpollutant trading of 13,241.30 tpy of SO2 ERCs using Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) recommended interpollutant trading ratio of 40 tpy of SO2 to one tpy of PM2.5 as provided under EPA's final rule entitled ''Implementation of the New Source Review Program for Particulate Matter less than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5).'' (72 Fed Reg 28349, May 16, 2008). The Department may terminate, modify or suspend the transfer and use of interpollutant trading of PM2.5 credits based on a decision by EPA regarding interprecursor trading hierarchy and ratio as required under 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix S. The previously mentioned PM2.5, SO2 and NOx ERCs were generated from the shutdown of PPL's Holtwood facility on April 29, 1999, in the Martic Township, Lancaster County, PA. This ERC transfer meets the criteria set forth in 25 Pa. Code § 127.208(11).

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be 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 Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application 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 § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall 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. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
Coal Applications Received
Effluent Limits--The following range of effluent limits will apply to NPDES permits issued in conjunction with the associated coal mining activity permit and, in some cases, noncoal mining permits:

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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 AT&T 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.

Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Sadsbury Township 7182 White Oak Road
Christiana, PA 17509Lancaster County Plan Description: The Jonathan Zook proposed plan revision for a second dwelling on an existing lot using an onlot sewage system, was disapproved because the well tested on the previous subdivision creating this current lot (A3-36949-193-2) to be used for the second dwelling had a well sample for nitrate nitrogen of 9.52 ppm. However, the well sampled for this current proposal used a well supplying the new house but did not use the well for the previous subdivision which is nearer to the newly proposed residence and thus would better characterize the background nitrate nitrogen concentration underneath the site. Further, the preliminary hydrogeologic study from the previous subdivision determined that the minimum lot size of 26.5 acres was necessary to dilute the nitrates from the septic system to below the MCL of 10 ppm. The lot proposed for the second dwelling in this proposal is not in conformance with the previous planning as it is only 22.3 acres in size, over 4 acres too small based on the planning which created it. The Department of Environmental Protection code number for the current proposal is A3-36949-219-2 and the APS number is 663587. It is located on the west side of Mount Vernon Road off of Clearwater Drive in Sadsbury Township, Lancaster County.
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Paradise Township 2 Township Drive
Paradise, PA 17562Lancaster County Plan Description: The White Oak Road Subdivision proposed plan revision for two lot residential subdivision using an onlot sewage disposal plus a lot addition, was disapproved because The Preliminary Hydrogeologic study failed to accurately characterize the background nitrate-nitrogen concentration of the groundwater beneath the site of the subdivision. Groundwater samples that are not hydrogeologically representative of the site were used to generate an average concentration of nitrate-nitrogen for the mass balance equation. The groundwater sample which is most representative of the site is the sample from Lot 2, with a concentration of 11.6 mg/l, indication that the groundwater is already polluted with nitrates. If the groundwater is already polluted, the proposed groundwater recharge easements will do nothing to mitigate the impact of the onlot sewage system on the waters of this Commonwealth. Further, the proposed groundwater recharge easements are not located downgradient from the sewage disposal systems, both existing and proposed and would therefore have no effect on mitigating the impact of the on lot systems on the waters of this Commonwealth. The topographic lines indicate that the property is sloping generally to the northwest. The proposed groundwater recharge easements are located west and southwest of the sewage disposal systems. In addition, no language appeared in either the project narrative or on the plot plan to detail the restrictions to activities with on the groundwater recharge easements. The Department of Environmental Protection Code number for this project is A3-36943-177-2 and the APS number is 662268. The proposal is located on the north side of White Oak Road at its intersection with Peach Lane in Paradise Township, Lancaster County.

Shippensburg, PA 17257Franklin County Plan Description: The Official Plan Revision, entitled Melvin Diem, proposing a new single-family residence using an individual onlot sewage disposal system, was disapproved because the hydrogeologic study required by Chapter 71 § 71.62(c) indicated that the proposed lot is not sized large enough to provide enough clean groundwater recharge to dilute the proposed septic system discharge which would lead to pollution of the waters of this Commonwealth. The groundwater easement proposed to mitigate said pollution largely failed to lie down gradient of the proposed lot and is not acceptable as a mitigation measure. As proposed, the onsite sewage system proposed for this subdivision will pollute the Waters of the Commonwealth in violation of The Clean Streams Law. Such a condition is considered a nuisance and is prohibited.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Dupont/New Castle Junk Site City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County Under Section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with CJLM Real Estate, LP (CJLM) concerning the redevelopment of a portion of the DuPont/New Castle Junk Site (Site).
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department and some of the responsible persons for the Site conducted response actions at the Site between 1992 and 2002. These response actions included treatment of wastes and soils contaminated by hazardous substances, followed by placement of a soil cap on one portion of the treated wastes and proper closure of a residual waste landfill on another portion of the Site. In the past, the Site contained two properties: the treated waste and soils area is primarily within the ''Battery property'' and the closed residual waste landfill is primarily within the ''China property.'' Realties U.S.A., Inc. currently owns the China property and D&D Development, LP (D&D) owns a portion of the Battery property.
CJLM is purchasing a portion of the Site that includes the China property and a portion of the Battery property, currently owned by D&D. CJLM is not a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.103). However, in recognition of the extensive cleanup efforts at the Site, under the terms of the Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement), CJLM has agreed to manage this portion of the Site property consistent with the completed response actions at the Battery Property. Any additional redevelopment on this parcel will require a Department approved work plan.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the Department and CJLM. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with CJLM shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies CJLM, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Gary Mechtly, Environmental Group Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Gary Mechtly, at (814) 332-6648. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)s for the Ferguson Run Watershed in Fayette County Greensburg District Mining Office: Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on March 5, 2009, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Ferguson Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and acidity. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 38171 Ferguson Run 1.0 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and acidity, while maintaining levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion Total Parameter value (mg/l) Recoverable/Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.
The 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 dataset 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 TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected from 2007 through 2008.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Scott Heidel at (717) 787-1421 between 7:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Rachel Carson State Office Building, 10th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. E-mail will be received at scheidel@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by March 20, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. Friday, February 27, 2009. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting--Correction Notice Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)s for Deer Creek (Clarion County), Redbank Creek (Armstrong and Clarion Counties) and the Lower Clarion River, (Forest, Clarion and Jefferson Counties) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is announcing a correction to the closing date of the public comment period for the Deer and Redbank Creeks and Lower Clarion River TMDLs. The date of the closing of the public comment period was published incorrectly in the January 31, 2009, Pennsylvania Bulletin as Wednesday, April 1, 2009. The correct deadline for the submission of written comments is Monday, March 2, 2009.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Elias Heferle at (814) 797-1191 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDLs can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the West Branch Susquehanna River Watershed The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission are holding a public meeting on March 5, 2009, at 7 p.m., at the Clearfield County Conservation District, 650 Leonard Street, Clearfield, PA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the West Branch Susquehanna River. In accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act, stream segments in the West Branch Susquehanna River have been identified as impaired due to high levels of metals and low pH as a result of abandoned mine drainage.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in the West Branch Susquehanna River for iron, manganese, aluminum and acidity. Loads have been allocated to both point and nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using field data collected in 2004 and 2005, as well as data collected from prior water quality surveys performed by other agencies.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than 30 days from the date of this bulletin notice. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
