Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.10--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.

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.

Comments or protests filed with 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.

14-00029A: Con-Stone, Inc. (P. O. Box 28, Bellefonte, PA 16823) for construction of two screens, six belt conveyors, two radial stacking conveyors, a feeder, a bin, an aggregate conditioner and a fine material screw in their existing limestone crushing and screening plant in Haines Township, Centre County.
One of the two new screens and two of the new belt conveyors will replace an existing screen and two existing belt conveyors. The remainder of the new equipment will be an addition to the plant. Depending upon the specific piece of equipment, the emission of fugitive particulate matter from the proposed equipment will be prevented or controlled by operating the equipment as wet processing equipment, by the use of water spray dust suppression system spray nozzles and/or processing stone with residual moisture. The resultant fugitive particulate matter emissions from the equipment are expected to be negligible.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Con-Stone, Inc. indicates that the proposed screens, conveyors, and the like, will meet all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed screens, conveyors, and the like.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The emission of fugitive particulate matter from the 6-foot by 20-foot triple deck screen shall be controlled by four water/spray dust suppression system spray nozzles at the screen discharge into an existing impact crusher.
2. The emission of fugitive particulate matter from the aggregate conditioner, 8-foot by 16-foot double-deck screen, two associated belt conveyors, fine material screw and two radial stacking conveyors shall be controlled by operating this equipment as ''wet'' processing equipment which will process only stone which has been saturated with water.
3. The emission of fugitive particulate matter from the remainder of the process equipment shall be controlled by processing only stone containing sufficient residual moisture to preclude the emission of fugitive particulate matter at a level which would be in excess of that allowed under 25 Pa. Code § 123.1.
4. If, at any time, it is determined that the fugitive particulate matter emissions from any piece of process equipment are in excess of any applicable emission limitation or requirement, the permittee shall immediately install additional spray nozzles or take other measures as are necessary to control the emissions.
5. The water spray dust suppression system of which the four spray nozzles at the discharge of the 6-foot by 20-foot triple deck screen are a part shall:
a. At all times use surfactant or wetting agent in addition to water.
b. Incorporate a supply pump capable of supplying at least 25 gallons per minute to the dust suppression system at a pressure of 150 psig.
c. Be equipped with a strainer on the inlet water line of the wetting agent mix tank reservoir.
d. Be connected to an on-demand water source capable of delivering an adequate supply of water at any time the plant is in operation.

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. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

The de minimis increase is the result of the replacement of the current Primary Crusher (Source 106). This facility states that this modification will not result in any debottlenecking at the facility and that the new primary crusher will operate no more than 2,226 hours per year. The only increases in air emissions will be in the form of particulate matter, which will increase by no more than 550 pounds per year. Of that quantity, less than 300 pounds will be classified as PM10. If the source were to be operated 24 hours per day, 7 days a week and 11 months per year, the estimated emissions would remain below the de minimis emissions threshold. These de minimis emission increases do not account for the offsets from the removal of the existing crusher. The Department has started a list of de minimis increases as prescribed in 25 Pa. Code § 127.449(i). To date, Armstrong Cement has notified the Department of the following de minimis emission increase at the Winfield Facility:
Date Source PM10 (tons) NOx (tons) CO (tons) SOx (tons) VOC (tons) January 16, 2004 Primary Crusher 0.13 None None None None Total Reported Increases 0.13 None None None None Allowable 0.6 ton/source

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Brubaker Run Watershed in Cambria County Cambria District Mining Office: 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Saint Thomas Church in Ashville, 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. Two stream segments in the Brubaker Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998 and 2002 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles
Degraded26489 (Segment 4026) Brubaker Run 2.9 26489 (Segment 990819-0920-LMS) Brubaker Run 7.23 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value
(mg/l)Total Recoverable/
DissolvedAluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0-9.0 N/A 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 both load allocations (LA), which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations (WLA), which are made to point sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS 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 throughout 2001.
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 Miles Baird at (814) 472-1900 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Cambria District Mining Office, 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931, mbaird@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 website at www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by March 31, 2004. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, February 10, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
