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.

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.

PA No. 48-320-015: Cadmus Specialty Publications (1991 Northampton Street, Easton, PA 18042) for installation of a new two web, eight unit heat-set web printing press at their facility in Wilson Borough, Northampton County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.45(a), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has received and intends to issue a Plan Approval to Cadmus Specialty Publications (1991 Northampton Street, Easton, PA 18042) for their facility located in Wilson Borough, Northampton County. The facility currently has a State-only permit No. 48-00008. This Plan Approval No. 48-320-015 will be incorporated into the companies Synthetic Minor Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan Approval No. 48-320-015 is for the installation of a new two web, eight unit heat-set web printing press at their facility. The company wants to replace an old printing press with a new printing press No. 85. VOC emissions form the plant will remain under their 50 tpy threshold limit, 12-month rolling sum, which is currently in the companies State-only permit No. 48-00008. Emissions will be controlled by the use of a new catalytic oxidizer. The oxidizer will be required to have a destruction efficiency of at least 98% or have a post control NMHC concentration of no greater that 7 ppmvd, expressed as propane. These limits will meet BAT requirements for this source. A stack test will be required to verify these limits.
The Department will place a condition for the facility to continuously monitor the inlet and outlet temperatures across the oxidizer. The Plan Approval and Operating permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Any person wishing to provide the Department with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the following:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
Identification of the proposed permit No.: 48-320-015.
A concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where the Department determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Ray Kempa, Chief, New Source Review Section, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, (570) 826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.
COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91--96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation--Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.
Persons aggrieved by any action may appeal under section 517 of Act 38, section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup ActYuhas Dump Site
Pocono Township, Monroe CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has undertaken a prompt interim response at Yuhas Dump Site (''Site''). This response was initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site is located at R. R. 1, Box 119, (Sullivan Trail Road) in Scotrun, Pocono Township.
The Yuhas Dump Site is a residential property that has been used for the disposal of an estimated 75,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition (''C&D'') waste, stumps and possibly contaminated soil. The C&D waste pile, which covers a significant portion of the property, is decomposing, eroding and is unstable. Cracks and fissures have formed in the pile and venting of steam and odors has been observed. The C&D waste was filled to the edge of where Dry Sawmill Run, a stream with a protected use designation of HQ-CWF, traverses the property and a large quantity of C&D waste has fallen into the stream. The Department is currently investigating this C&D waste area and will evaluate remedial alternatives to address this waste pile in a separate response action.
In addition to the C&D waste pile, numerous containers with unknown contents were placed or disposed of on the Yuhas property. These abandoned wastes in containers are the subject of the Department's prompt interim response and this public notice. Some of those containers were located in a garage on the first floor of the residence and others were situated at the rear of the property, to the west of Dry Sawmill Run. Those at the rear of the property consisted of approximately 30 fifty-five gallon drums and numerous pails and containers in various sizes. Approximately 25 of the drums were located in a trailer and the others were located on the ground directly under a fallen tree. Most of the pails/containers in various sizes were located on the ground and some were covered by an old military tent. The drums, pails and containers that were not under the tent were rusted, unlabeled and some were leaking. Odors were emanating from some of the drums and containers. The contents of all containers, both in the garage of the residence and at the rear of the property, were unknown.
The contents were subsequently sampled and the Department has identified the following hazardous substances and/or contaminants at the Site: trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, 2-butanone (MEK), 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloro- ethane, 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MIBK), methylene chloride, styrene, 1,1-dichloroethane, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, aluminum, antimony, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, nickel and vanadium.
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA had occurred and that an ongoing release was likely if no actions were taken, the Department was authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)).
A Prompt Interim Response was justified at this Site for the following reasons: As noted previously, numerous containers of unknown contents were placed on or disposed on the property. Containers were rusted, leaking directly onto the surface of the ground and odors were present. Due to the abandonment and unrestricted access to the residence and surrounding property, the threat of vandalism to containers located both inside and outside the home was present and may have resulted in further releases and impacts to health, safety and the environment. The hazardous substances and/or contaminants in the abandoned containers onsite required characterization and shipment to an approved offsite waste disposal facility. Improper storage of the hazardous substances and/or contaminants posed an ongoing threat to public health, safety and the environment. The surrounding area is primarily rural residential and the residents rely on the groundwater for their drinking water. A release of the hazardous substances may have posed a threat to surface water, groundwater and water supplies. For these reasons, the Department believes that a Prompt Interim Response was needed at the Site and a delay in responding for the time required to develop and close an Administrative Record would have increased risks to public health, safety and the environment.
The Department conducted a prompt interim response at the Site to address the abandoned wastes in containers under its authority under section 501(a) of HSCA. Prompt action was necessary to protect the public health, safety and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) Alternative 1: No Action
2) Alternative 2: Waste and Soil Characterization, Transportation and Disposal: The Department would sample, characterize for offsite disposal, transport and properly dispose of abandoned containerized chemicals, waste and/or contaminated substances and contaminated soil at the Site.
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence and cost-effectiveness, the Department selected Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response for the Site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Pocono Township Municipal Building, P. O. Box 197 (Route 611), Tannersville, PA 18372 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Township Building is closed from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. for lunch. The administrative record will be open for comment from February 7, 2009, through May 8, 2009. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Meg Boyer, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for March 17, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. at the Pocono Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involved the characterization, staging, offsite transportation and proper disposal of the abandoned containerized wastes and contaminated soil that was completed at the Site. Persons wishing to present testimony at the March 17, 2009, hearing regarding this prompt interim response must register with Meg Boyer before March 11, 2009, by telephone at (610) 861-2070, or in writing to Meg Boyer at the Department's Bethlehem District Office. If no person registers to present oral comments by March 11, 2009, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the March 17, 2009, hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Meg Boyer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for
the Casselman River in Somerset and Fayette CountiesCambria District Mining Office: 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on February 24, 2009, beginning at 1:30 p.m. at the Meyersdale Borough Building, 613 Second Street, Meyersdale, 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. One stream segment of the Casselman River has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 38579 Casselman River 26 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and acidity (measured using pH) and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum
0.75 Total Recoverable Iron
1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese
1.00 Total Recoverable pH
6.0 to 9.0 NA 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 load allocations (LA) made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations (WLA) made to permitted point sources.
The 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 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 from 2007 through 2008.
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, contact Jennifer Orr at (717) 772-5670 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Rachel Carson State Office Building, 10th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. E-mail will be received at jeorr@ 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 web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by March 11, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Friday, February 20, 2009. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
