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 and 303 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 any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site 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 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's Regional Office under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor 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. 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 Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's 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 to the date of the hearing.
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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act The Department of Environmental Protection (Depart-ment), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into proposed de minimis settlements under section 707 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.707) and section 122(g) of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. § 9622(g)) relating to the cleanup of the Container Recyclers Ltd. HSCA Site (site) at 10 E. Wolf Street, Philadelphia, PA. The proposed settlements involve Consent Order and Agreements between the Department and parties known to the Department to be potentially responsible for only a minor portion of the response costs incurred at the Site.
Contamination identified by the Department at the Site included hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, aqueous wastes with pH greater than 12.5, ignitable or corrosive waste, methyl ethyl ketone and trichloroethylene. A prompt interim response was implemented in accordance with a Statement of Decision (SOD) issued by the Department on December 21, 1994. The response conducted by the Department, which included the removal of hazardous wastes and materials located at the Site, was completed in late 1995. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Order and Agreements, settlors will reimburse a portion of the costs incurred by the Department in connection with the Site. The amount of the reimbursement will be proportional to the number of drums known to have been sent to the Site by each settlor.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed Consent Order and Agreements from the date of publication of this notice. The proposed Consent Order and Agreements may be examined from 8 a.m to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Kevin Hess at (610) 832-6194 or Paul Rettinger at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours. Persons may submit written comments to Kevin Hess at the previous address. The Department will provide a response to all significant written comments received during the public comment period, and the proposed Consent Order and Agreements authorize the Department to withhold or withdraw its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on comments received during the public comment period, that the Consent Order and Agreements are inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.

The meeting/hearing is scheduled for March 30, 1999, at 6:30 p.m. at Mansfield Hose Company Fire Hall, 381 South Main Street, Mansfield, PA. The meeting is to solicit pertinent comments on the applications.
The proposed CAFO operation will consist of approximately 1,600 average number of Animal Equivalent Units to produce 4 million gallons per year of manure and wastewater to be stored in a 1.71 million gallon primary manure storage impoundment and a 5.2 million gallon secondary manure impoundment with associated transfer structures. The handling and application of the contents will be controlled under a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP), approved by the Tioga County Conservation District. The applicable Effluent Limitation Guidelines in Federal Regulations under 40 CFR Part 412 stipulate that Confined Animal Feeding Operations shall not have any discharge to surface waters under normal operating conditions. All CAFO operations must meet the provisions of an approved NMP, obtain and comply with the Department's Water Quality Management Part II Permit for constructing new manure storage facilities, develop and implement best management practices (BMPs) to ensure that the water quality of the receiving water is maintained. Collectively, these requirements constitute the Department's narrative ''effluent limits'' for CAFOs necessary to protect waters of this Commonwealth.
The proposed operation is located on the watersheds of unnamed tributaries of Corey Creek and Canoe Camp Creek both classified for the following uses: warm water fishery and aquatic life, water supply and recreation.
