Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to public 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 site(s) identified below, 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 below. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified below, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Non-Major Sources and Modifications The Pennsylvania 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. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
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 below. 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.

Borough or Borough or Township Township Address County Borough of Weissport 440 Allen Street
Weissport, PA 18235Carbon Plan Description: The approved plan provides for replacement of the Borough's entire existing wastewater collection system. The selected wastewater disposal alternative is described in the Plan Update Revision as ''Low-Pressure Sewer Alternative No. 2''. The alternative also proposes a limited rehabilitation of the Weissport Borough Municipal Authority's (Authority) existing main pumping station.
Replacement of the Borough's entire wastewater collection system was found to be the only cost-effective alternative which would successfully eliminate excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow (I/I) from the Borough's wastewater collection system. Elimination of the excessive amounts of I/I is required to eliminate the existing hydraulic overload at the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. Wastewater from the proposed, replacement collection system will be discharged to the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Upon completion of the proposed Central Carbon Municipal Authority's (CCMA) Wastewater Treatment Facility, wastewater from the Borough's wastewater collection system will be conveyed to and treated at the CCMA facility.
Financing of the proposed wastewater collection/conveyance system is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST). Financing of the Borough of Weissport's portion of the CCMA Wastewater Treatment Facility is to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's--Rural Utilities Service.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 NOTICE OF PROMPT INTERIM RESPONSE 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 initiated a prompt interim response at the Clements Landfill site. This response has been undertaken under Section 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b)). The site is located at: Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County, PA.
The Clements Landfill Site (Site) is located approximately one and one-half miles east of Route 61, and is bordered by Birch Hill Road to the north, Shoemakersville Road to the east, Ontelaunee Drive to the south, and Kerns Road extending from the south to west-side of the site. The entire area surrounding the Site consists of residential and agricultural lands. The Site, an inactive landfill since 1970, is 68.29 acres on which approximately 25 acres are land filled.
In June 2000, the Department sampled 13 residential wells adjacent to the Site. Three adjacent properties south of the Site, located on a geologic fracture trace running through the land filled area, have volatile organic compounds (VOC) contaminations above regulatory standards. Trichloroethylene (TCE) levels ranged from 24 micrograms per liter (µg/L) to 73 µg/L, vinyl chloride from 4 µg/L to 27 µg/L and cis-1, 2-Dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE) from 79 to 140 µg/L. The regulatory limits for these VOCs in groundwater are 5 µg/L, 2 µg/L, and 70 µg/L respectively. Re-sampling of the impacted well water supplies confirmed these levels of VOC contamination.
The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based on the continued release of VOCs to the groundwater, and the actual human exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact.
The Department considered three alternatives: 1. No action, which allows the residents to have continued exposure to the VOC contamination; 2. Bottled water, which effectively removes the risk posed by ingestion, but would not remove the risk posed by inhalation and dermal contact; 3. Point-of-use water treatment systems that will treat the contaminated water to effectively remove the current human ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact threats. This alternative will be protective of human health and the environment.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Richard Morgan at (717) 705-4844. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office located at 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100.
The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before May 25, 2001, by mailing them to Richard Morgan at PA Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for March 28, 2001 at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill Valley Middle School located at 114 Ontelaunee Drive, Leesport, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., March 23, 2001 by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.
If no person registers to present oral comments by March 23, 2001, the hearing will not be held, but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the same number above. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Former Avtex Fibers, Inc. Site, Vernon Township, Crawford County Under Section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with FMC Corporation, 200 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60601 (FMC) concerning the resolution of their liability for the mercury contamination at the former Avtex Fibers, Inc. facility's wastewater treatment plant (site), located in Vernon Township, Crawford County.
Between 1929 and 1986, mercury from the mercury seals leaked into the trickling filter tanks and the trickling filter media in the wastewater treatment plant at the Avtex Fibers, Inc. facility in Vernon Township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. In 1995, certain aspects of the wastewater treatment plant, including the trickling filter media and mercury-lubricated distribution arms were dismantled. During and subsequent to this dismantling, mercury leaked into the trickling filter tanks, trickling filter media and soils near the trickling filter tanks. This leaking of mercury constituted a ''release'' and ''threat of release'' as defined by Section 103 of HSCA. Mercury is also defined in Section 103 of HSCA as a ''hazardous substance''.
As an owner during a period of time that hazardous substances were released at the site, FMC is a ''responsible person'' as defined in Section 103 of HSCA. Under the terms of the Agreement, FMC shall: 1) Collect the elemental mercury for off-site disposal or recycling to the extent possible from the trickling filter tanks; 2) Test the trickling filter media, if it fails a characteristically hazardous waste determination it will be treated to a level that allows on-site containment or disposed off-site as a hazardous waste; 3) Permanently contain all other sediments, wastes, and apparatus within a trickling filter tank, following any necessary decontamination. Following the completion of these actions, FMC shall be relieved of further liability concerning the release and threat of release of mercury from the wastewater treatment facility at the site, pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Land Recycling Act (35 P. S. § 6026.501(a)).
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the FMC and the Department. 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 concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations, which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with FMC shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies FMC, 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.
The Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mark Gorman, Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
