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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (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, shall 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 refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis.

The coal ash, that was used as quarry fill at a quarry at the junction of SR 611 and Hester Street in Portland, PA is historic in nature. The coal ash was sampled and meets the requirements for the beneficial use of coal ash.
The coal ash will be stockpiled on site to be graded and compacted into 2-foot lifts. A soil berm and silt fence will surround the entire site during construction. Surface water will be diverted from the construction area and runoff from the fill area will be minimized and/or collected and managed in accordance with The Clean Stream Law. The project is estimated to take 3 months to complete.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the UNT 45603 (''Dixie Run'') Stonycreek River Watershed, located in
Somerset CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed, located in Somerset County. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 7 beginning at 1 p.m. at the Cambria District Mining Office, in Cambria Township, Cambria County, PA. Individuals who wish to make a presentation should contact Mike Timcik, Cambria District Mining Office at (814) 472-1900 no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, March 2. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Segments in the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998 and 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

(''Dixie Run'')2.1 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese), acidity and pH and to maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 30 day average;
Total RecoverableManganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was extensively mined for coal since the late 1940's. The effects of this mining are still present.
The proposed 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 data set 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 proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected during 2004 were used to develop the TMDL. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the UNT 45603 Stonycreek River Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by March 26 and sent to Mike Timcik, Department, Cambria District Mining Office, 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931, by fax to (814) 472-1898, or by email to mtimcik@state.pa.us.
