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--304 and 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 any 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 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, or 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)(l)(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'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.

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. Comments or protests filed with 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 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.
OPERATING PERMITS
Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permits
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the following facilities. These facilities are major facilities subject to the operating permit requirements under Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act and 25 Pa.

Appointments to review copies of the Title V application, proposed permit and other relevant information must be made by contacting Records Management at the regional office telephone number noted. For additional information, contact the regional office noted.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed Title V permit to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice.

S. §§ 693.1--693.27).
Regional Office: Regional Manager, Water Management Program Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act.
This request was necessitated by conditions imposed by the Department's Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits E25-404A and E25-581 issued to the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority requiring Federal Water Act Section 401 certification for the disposal of dredged material in the CDF prior to each dredging and disposal event. The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has sampled and tested the sediments in accordance with Attachment A ''Sample Collection and Testing Protocol'' of both Water Obstruction and Encroachments Permits E25-404A and E25-581. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the dredging of this approximately 1175 cubic yards of basin sediments from the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin (Erie North, PA Quadrangle N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 inches) and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) will not degrade the water quality of Lake Erie or Presque Isle Bay. The Erie-Western Port Authority has also requested because of reported aggravated accumulation of basin sediments the past 2 years, this Section 401 Water Quality Certification allow for subsequent dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp and discharge of that material into the CDF for 1 year after final certification without additional sampling and testing. Any subsequent use of the CDF for the discharge of dredged materials from the East Avenue Launch Ramp past this 1 year certification period will require a separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
STORAGE TANKS SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION PERMITS The following Storage Tank Site Specific Installation Permit application has been received by the Department and is currently under review. Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the Bureau of Watershed Conservation, Division of Storage Tanks, P. O. Box 8762, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8762, within 30 days from the date of this publication. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding this application. Responses should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.
Borough of Weissport, Carbon County.
The Department has reviewed the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision (Plan Update Revision) dated July 1998 and revised January 2000 (received by the Department on January 20, 2000), as submitted by Spotts, Stevens & McCoy, Inc., on behalf of the Borough of Weissport (Borough).
The Department's review has found that the Plan Update Revision is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
The Plan Update Revision calls for replacement of the Borough's entire existing wastewater collection system. The selected wastewater disposal alternative is described in the Plan Update Revision as ''Gravity Sewerage Alternative No. 1.'' The alternative also proposes a limited rehabilitation of the Weissport Borough Municipal Authority's (Authority) existing main pumping station.
Replacement of the Borough's entire wastewater collection system was found to be the only cost-effective alternative which would successfully eliminate excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow (I/I) from the Borough's wastewater collection system. Elimination of the excessive amounts of I/I is required to eliminate the existing hydraulic overload at the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. Wastewater from the proposed, replacement collection system will be discharged to the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Upon completion of the proposed Central Carbon Municipal Authority's (CCMA) Wastewater Treatment Facility, wastewater from the Borough's wastewater collection system will be conveyed to and treated at the CCMA facility.
Financing of the proposed wastewater construction improvements is to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service. The Borough plans also to apply to the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) for financing of the system as a secondary or backup financing source.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 71), the Department will hold the Borough of Weissport and the Weissport Borough Municipal Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update Revision's selected wastewater disposal alternative, as listed in the Plan Update Revision, and its corresponding Schedule of Implementation.
Please be advised that any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update Revision and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to the Borough's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. The permit application must be submitted in the name of the Borough or Authority, as appropriate. Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law. Please include a copy of this approval correspondence with the Water Management Part II Permit Application when it is submitted to this office.
Other Departmental permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for such permits or approvals can be obtained from the Northeast Regional Office's Soils and Waterways Section at the letterhead address or by telephoning (570) 826-2511.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Proposed Interim Response Marino Brothers Scrap Yard Borough of Rochester, Beaver County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA) is proposing a response action for the Marino Brothers Scrap Yard. The Marino Brothers Scrap Yard (site) is located between Railroad Street and the Ohio River in the Borough of Rochester, Beaver County, PA. The facility encompasses approximately 3 acres and is occupied by several buildings that date back to the early 1900s including a building/scale house, an associated truck scale, a 3-story garage building and a storage building. Formerly on the site were also a hydraulic metal crusher with its associated building and hydraulic shears. The property is located in an industrial area and is bordered on the north by Railroad Street, on the South by the Ohio River, on the east by a concrete supplier, and on the west by commercial properties. The property is partially fenced and is easily accessed by trespassers.
Hazardous substances were released into the environment and are present in site soils and groundwater in excess of Statewide health standards. Surface contamination includes polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs), antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, thallium and zinc with concentrations exceeding direct contact and/or soil to groundwater Statewide health standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2). Surface media collected from the site and analyzed for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) metals exceeded the hazardous waste criteria for lead and cadmium. Light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPLs) were found in one monitoring well installed on the site. This floating product contained elevated concentrations of PCBs. Department sampling of Ohio River sediments indicate elevated concentrations of metals and PCBs. These conditions, along with easy access to the site by trespassers and the site's location along the Ohio River within its 100-year floodplain, present a threat to human health through direct contact, inhalation, and ingestion as well as a threat to the environment including the Ohio River.
The Department proposes to conduct an investigation of the site to determine the contaminants of concern and the extent of combination at the site. This investigation will determine the depth and lateral extent of the soil contamination, evaluate and characterize the groundwater, and qualify any threats to human health and the environment posed by the site. The Department will use the information from the investigation to determine the appropriate remediation for the site.
A. The following alternatives were considered to address the current conditions at this site:
Alternative 1. No action. This alternative would involve no response by the Department to address the threats associated with this site. The contamination would remain onsite and the associated threats would not be mitigated. There would be no additional investigation and the extent of contamination and its impacts would remain unknown. This alternative would not comply with the Applicable Rules and Regulations (ARARs) identified for this site. Specifically HSCA Section 501(a) requires the Department to investigate if there is a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance. Although no direct costs are associated with this alternative, indirect costs associated cannot be quantified and would include ongoing degradation of groundwater, surface water and the Ohio River as well as loss of tax base and revenue.
Alternative 2. Further investigation to fully characterize the site. Threats posed by this site would be qualified by determining the concentrations, depth and lateral extent of contamination in the soils and the groundwater. The site soils will be characterized by soil borings or other appropriate means and adequately sampled to determine the extent of contamination. Monitoring wells will be installed to supplement those already on the site and sampled to provide analytical results and other data to adequately define groundwater at the site and the presence of groundwater contamination. This alternative would comply with all the ARARs identified for this site and will meet the requirements if HSCA section 501(a) that requires the Department to investigate the release of hazardous substances. The Department estimates that an investigation conducted at this site will cost approximately $500,000. This investigation would gather information necessary, using the most cost-effective methods available, for the Department to determine if additional remediation efforts are necessary at the site to protect human health and the environment.
The Department has determined that alternative 2 is the most appropriate response. This alternative is more protective of human health and the environment than alternative 1 and would be cost-effective. An investigation to fully characterize the site will determine the extent of soil contamination and characterize the groundwater aquifers associated with the site. This investigation will provide the Department with sufficient information to determine if additional remediation is necessary for this site and will enable the Department to determine the most appropriate and efficient methods to remediate the site.
This notice is being provided under Section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comments from February 23 until June 12. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Terry Goodwald at 400 Waterfront Drive or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on March 28 at 7 p.m. at the Rochester Municipal Building, 300 West Park, Rochester. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register with Betsy Mallison before March 24 by telephone at (412) 442-4182 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4184 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Notice of Further Investigation Mays Hickman Road Site Robinson Township, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is proposing a further investigation response action at the Mays Hickman Road Site (site).
The site is located in Robinson Township, Allegheny County at the end of Hickman Road. The property consists of approximately 38 acres, however the area of concern for this response is approximately 8 acres. The site was used from the 1950s until the 1960s as a disposal site for carbon sweepings and other industrial wastes. A large pile of contaminated carbon wastes and leaking 55 gallon drums are located along the bank of Montour Run. Samples taken from the carbon pile and site soils have detected the following contaminants: phenanthrene, flouranthene, pyrene, benzo-a-anthracene, benzo-a-pyrene, chrysene, benzo-b-flouranthene, benzo-k-flouranthene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, carbon disulfide, acetone, 2-butanone, lead and zinc.
The Department proposes to conduct an investigation at the site to determine the type and volume of waste present at the site and the extent of contamination. This investigation will determine the depths and lateral extent of contaminated soils, location and volume of buried waste and the condition of the groundwater aquifers. The investigation will also access any threats posed by the site. The Department will use the information from the investigation to determine the appropriate remediation for the site.
The Department has considered the following alternatives for the investigation of this site: 1) No Action, 2) Further Investigation.
Alternative 2 is being proposed by the Department because this alternative would identify risks posed by the site, provide information on the volume, type and nature of the waste and characterize the effects on the groundwater and sediment. Upon completion of the investigation, the Department should have sufficient information to determine if additional remediation is needed and the most appropriate methods to complete the remediation of this site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 and is available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from February 27 to June 12. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending the comments to Terry E. Goodwald at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 or by delivering the comments to the Department's Southwest Regional Office at the address listed previously.
In addition, persons may present oral comments at a public hearing for inclusion in the administrative record. The Department has scheduled the hearing on March 29 at 7 p.m. at the Robinson Township Municipal Building, 1000 Churchhill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15202, (412) 788-8120. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register with Betsy Mallison before March 24 at (412) 442-4182 or in writing to Terry Goodwald, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4182 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
