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.

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.

OPERATING PERMITS
Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits under the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015) and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, Muhammad Zaman, Facilities Permitting Chief, (570) 327-0512.
41-00003: PPL Martins Creek, LLC (2 North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101) for renewal of a Title V Operating Permit for operation of an electric generating facility (Williamsport Combustion Turbine) in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The facility incorporates two 269 mmBtu/hr No. 2 fuel oil-fired combustion turbines and associated 100,000 gallon above ground No. 2 fuel oil storage tank.
The facility has the potential to emit up to 766.5 tons of NOx, 609.9 tons of SOx, 14.14 tons of PM/PM10, 3.9 tons of CO and .48 ton of VOCs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew Title V Operating Permit 41-00003. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in Title V Operating Permit 41-00003 with these exceptions, changes and additions:
1. A condition specifying a No. 2 fuel oil sulfur content limit from 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 has been removed from the permit as no source existing at the facility is subject to 25 Pa. Code § 123.22.
2. Conditions requiring an annual inspection of the facility for the presence of visible air contaminants, visible fugitive air contaminants and malodorous air contaminants, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as this facility does not contain the types of sources that are likely to produce visible fugitive air contaminants or malodorous air contaminants and an annual inspection is of little benefit in determining whether ongoing compliance with the applicable visible air contaminant emission limitations is occurring.
3. A condition requiring the maintenance of such records as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 135.21, pertaining to emission statements, has been modified to also include 25 Pa. Code § 135.3, pertaining to annual emission inventory reports.
4. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been modified to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
5. A condition specifying the deadline for the submission of an annual compliance certification report has been added to the permit.
6. Conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the monthly capacity factor for the facility's two combustion turbines has been removed from the permit as the requirement is redundant of conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the number of hours each turbine operates per month and the amount of fuel each turbine uses per month.
7. Conditions requiring the reporting of the ''supporting calculations'' used to verify compliance with the turbines' capacity factor limitations and SOx, NOx and PM emission limitations have been removed from the permit as it is not possible to verify compliance with the NOx and PM emission limitations with ''calculations'' and compliance with the capacity factor limitations and SOx emission limitations can be determined using the turbines' operating hour and fuel sulfur content records which the permittee is required to report to the Department.
8. Conditions prohibiting the storage of VOCs with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia in the facility's 100,000 gallon No. 2 fuel oil storage tank, and requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the material stored in the respective tank, have been modified to prohibit the storage of anything other than No. 2 fuel oil in the respective tank and require the maintenance of records of the identity of the material stored in the tank.
18-00003: PPL Martins Creek, LLC (2 North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101) for the renewal of a Title V Operating Permit for the operation of an electric generating facility (Lock Haven Combustion Turbine) in Bald Eagle Township, Clinton County.
The facility consists of a single 282 mmBtu/hr No. 2 fuel oil-fired combustion turbine and associated 100,000 gallon above ground No. 2 fuel oil storage tank.
The facility has the potential to emit up to 425 tons of NOx, 315 tons of SOx, 7.4 tons of PM/PM10, 2.04 tons of CO and .25 ton of VOCs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew Title V Operating Permit 18-00003. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in Title V Operating Permit 18-00003 with these exceptions, changes and additions:
1. Conditions requiring an annual inspection of the facility for the presence of visible air contaminants, visible fugitive air contaminants and malodorous air contaminants, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as this facility does not contain the types of sources that are likely to produce visible fugitive air contaminants or malodorous air contaminants and an annual inspection is of little benefit in determining whether ongoing compliance with the applicable visible air contaminant emission limitations is occurring.
2. A condition requiring the maintenance of such records as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 135.21, pertaining to emission statements, has been modified to also include 25 Pa. Code § 135.3, pertaining to annual emission inventory reports.
3. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been modified to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
4. A condition specifying the deadline for the submission of an annual compliance certification report has been added to the permit.
5. A condition requiring the maintenance of records of the monthly capacity factor for the facility's combustion turbine has been removed from the permit as the requirement is redundant of conditions requiring the maintenance of records of the number of hours the turbine operates per month and the amount of fuel the turbine uses per month.
6. A condition requiring the reporting of the ''supporting calculations'' used to verify compliance with the turbine capacity factor limitation and SOx, NOx and PM emission limitations has been removed from the permit as it is not possible to verify compliance with the NOx and PM emission limitations with ''calculations'' and compliance with the capacity factor limitation and SOx emission limitation can be determined using the turbine operating hour and fuel sulfur content records which the permittee is required to report to the Department.
7. Conditions prohibiting the storage of VOCs with a vapor pressure greater than 1.5 psia in the facility's 100,000 gallon No. 2 fuel oil storage tank, and requiring the maintenance of records of the vapor pressure of the material stored in the respective tank, have been modified to prohibit the storage of anything other than No. 2 fuel oil in the respective tank and require the maintenance of records of the identity of the material stored in the tank.

Hanover, PA 17331York County Plan Description: Joshua Hill/Lippy Farm/Woodhaven Development, C3-67964-176-3: The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has completed a review of the previously referenced Official Plan Revision for a 136 lot single-family residential subdivision on 203.7 acres with total proposed sewage flows of 32,100 gpd tributary to a private onsite wastewater treatment plant with a discharge to the West Branch of the Codorus Creek. The treatment plant will be sized for 100,000 gpd in order to serve future development and possible Township existing needs areas. The proposed development is located on the northeastern corner of the Baltimore Pike (SR 0094) and Musselman Road in West Manheim Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because it fails to provide certification from the Department's Water Planning Office concerning nutrient offsets and credits that will be used to address the Chesapeake Bay Strategy Initiative and it fails to discuss the proposed wastewater treatment plant technology, which will affect the need for such nutrient credits and offsets. The planning submission also lacks a letter of intent from a seller of certified nutrient credits. Furthermore, the October 16, 2007, agreement addressing operation and maintenance issues between the developer and the municipality fails to mention these Bay Strategy items. The plan also mentions the possibility of serving future developments and existing needs areas within the Township, but fails to include detailed information about such an extension of public sewers. Last, the planning submission fails to provide a detailed cost analysis for the identified long-term method of sewage disposal and does not include proper financial assurances.
Plan Location: On the southeast side of SR 531 (Old Carlisle Road), 4/10 of a mile north of the intersection with T-539 (Bull Valley Road) in Butler Township, Adams County.

Biglerville, PA 17307Adams County Plan Description: The development proposed the installation of a small flow treatment facility to serve one single-family residence. The facility is proposing a dry stream discharge that allegedly flows into a UNT of the Oppossum Creek. The name of the project is Steven Sheets and the project code number is A3-01909-185-3s. The plan was disapproved because the provisions of Chapter 71, § 71.64(c)(2) and (3) have not been met.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Watershed of Patterson Creek in Armstrong County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the watershed of Patterson Creek in Armstrong County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this watershed were listed in Pennsylvania's 2006 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to sedimentation resulting from agricultural activities.
There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of sediment in the watershed of Patterson Creek. Sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact Joe Boylan at joboylan@state.pa.us, or 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by April 4, 2008. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on March 4, 2008 at 6 p.m. at the Armsdale Administration Building, 1st Floor, Room 103, 124 Armsdale Road, Kittanning, PA 16201.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed in Venango and Butler Counties The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed in Venango and Butler Counties. The meeting will be held on February 26, 2008, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Mining Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDL was developed in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). Thirty-nine segments in the Scrubgrass Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004 and 2006 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals.

The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th and to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for 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 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 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 over the past 5 years.
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 Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Mining Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Leatherwood Creek and Town Run Watersheds in Clarion County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Leatherwood Creek and Town Run Watersheds in Clarion County. The meetings will be held on February 26, 2008, beginning at 11 a.m. at the Knox District Mining Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDLs were developed in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). Four stream segments in the Leatherwood Creek Watershed and eight stream segments in the Town Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals.

The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion vaule Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watersheds are abandoned mine workings. These watersheds were mined for coal in the early to the mid 20th centuries and surface coal mining continues on a small scale today. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are established for permitted point sources.
These TMDLs were 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 TMDLs.
These TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watersheds. The basis of information used in the establishment of these TMDLs is field data collected over the past 2 years.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Welch Run Watershed in Jefferson County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Welch Run Watershed in Jefferson County. The meeting will be held on February 26, 2008, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Knox District Mining Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDL was developed in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). Five stream segments in the Welch Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 48486 Welch Run 3.37 48487 UNT Welch Run 0.63 48488 UNT Welch Run 0.66 48489 UNT Welch Run 0.51 48490 UNT Welch Run 0.73 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion vaule Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th and to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for 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 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 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 over the past 3 years.
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 Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Mining Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.
