The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater from a proposed construction activity into the surface waters of the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations set forth in the permit and special conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative.

A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future use of the site.

Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the Authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into a settlement regarding the Department's costs incurred for response activities at the Giordano Waste Materials (Giordano) site. This settlement is entered into under section 1102 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1102). The settlement involves a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) between the Department and Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), a party potentially responsible for the hazardous substances which the Department removed from the Giordano site.
The Giordano site is an approximately 7-acre parcel of land in Butler Township, Schuylkill County. The site includes a right-of-way owned by Conrail. The right-of-way is located on the western side of the site. The surrounding area is predominantly rural, although some residential areas and a school are located nearby. Investigations revealed the presence of lead contaminated battery casings and lead contaminated smelter ash at the site. The releases and threatened releases from the battery casings posed a substantial danger to public health and safety and the environment. The Department deemed it appropriate to implement an interim response to address threats to the public health and safety and the environment posed by the battery casings at the site. The Department, under the authority of HSCA, implemented an interim response which included the removal of lead contaminated battery casings from the site. The interim response was completed on April 27, 1990.
Through the implementation of the interim response, the Department incurred costs at the site. The Department may conduct an additional response action to address contamination remaining on site. On February 5, 1996, a COA was executed between the Department and Conrail. Under the terms of this agreement, Conrail is required to make a payment of $60,000 to reimburse the Department for past and future costs at the Giordano site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section also provides that the settlements will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments. The COA that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The COA can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, by contacting Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2511 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD). A public comment period on the COA will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the COA to the Department by April 17, 1996, by submitting them to Joseph Iannuzzo at the above address.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings
The Department of Environmental Protection proposes to approve an amendment to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the operation of a municipal waste resource recovery incinerator (MWI) facility owned by Montenay Montgomery Limited Partnership, located at 1155 Conshohocken Road, Plymouth Township, Montgomery County, PA 19425 (a/k/a Dravo and Montenay), in compliance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95 as a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determination for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the facility.
The proposed revision to the SIP does not adopt any new State of Pennsylvania regulations. The requirements of the proposed revision to the SIP will be contained in the proposed Plan Approval PA-46-0010. The proposed revision, if approved, will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the PA SIP with an oxides of nitrogen emission limit of 0.383 LB/MM Btu and volatile organic compound emission limit of less than 25 tons/year.
The proposed Plan Approval PA-46-0010 will change the emission limits and operating parameters for Montenay and are different from those previously indicated in Operating Permit 46-340-0002 issued on May 9, 1994. It will also allow the burning of municipal-like residual waste as referenced in Waste Management permit application no. 400558.
The changes in proposed Plan Approval PA-46-0010 compared to Operating Permit 46-340-0002 will include: 1) revisions to facility emission limits for--a. toxic metals, b. nitrogen oxides, c. volatile organic compounds; 2) revised operating requirements to permit this acceptance of municipal-like residual waste acceptance criteria.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposal. The hearing will be held at 7 to 9 p.m. on March 18, 1996, at the Plymouth Township Municipal Building, located at 700 Belvior Road, Norristown, PA 19428. Persons interested in commenting on the proposed SIP revision should notify John Gerdelmann, Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6228, that they want to make a presentation at the public hearing. Persons interested in submitting written comments should send comments to Department of Environmental Protection, Francini Carlini, Regional Manager, Bureau of Air Quality, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428 on or before April 18, 1996.
Copies of the application for the Plan Approval submitted to the Department, the proposed Plan Approval and any other information related to the matter are available at the Bureau of Air Quality, Room 116, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105 and the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Appointments should be made to review the above by calling Harrisburg at (717) 787-9256 or Conshohocken at (610) 832-6270.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service, or accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann directly at (610) 832-6228 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Notice of Plan Approval Application Minor Source
The following stationary sources have filed a request for a plan approval with the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Air Quality.

Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Tanoma Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701 -- 702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the Act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 268(b) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Clearances and Shelter Holes, requires that shelter holes be provided on the clearance side along designated travelingways that are also used as haulage entries, other than belt conveyor haulage entries. Such shelter holes shall be spaced not more than 80 feet apart.
Summary of the request: Tanoma Mining Company's plan calls for 105` distances between track shelter holes in the Main E and all future Mains development at the Tanoma Mine. Studies have shown that the main entries in the Tanoma Mine should be developed on 120` centers in order to enhance roof control. This 120` center will result in shelter holes being approximately 105` apart since the crosscuts are driven a maximum of 20` wide.
