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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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.
When 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.

This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Public Notice of Proposed Settlement Agreement Linfield, Montgomery County, PA The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), 35 P. S. § 6020.1113, has entered into a settlement agreement with Linfield Industrial Park, Inc. (LIPI), for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Linfield Industrial Park HSCA Site (Site). This Site consists of 82.5 acres of land, which prior to 1986, was used for the repackaging and distribution of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) and ammonia-based cleaners. The Site was also operated as a whiskey distillery from approximately 1891 until the 1950's and as a whiskey warehousing facility from the 1950's until approximately 1981. LIPI purchased the Site in 1984. Operations at the Site were abandoned in 1986. Hazardous substances were released and threatened to be released at the Site during LIPI's period of ownership.
In October, 2005, a fire occurred in one of the abandoned buildings on the Site. Between July 1999 and 2008, the Department conducted certain prompt interim response actions at the Site. These response actions were taken pursuant to section 505(b) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.505(b), and included a site investigation, site stabilization after the fire and unilateral legal enforcement action against LIPI. The total amount of money which the Department expended to conduct its response actions was $82,471.45.
As a owner of the Site, LIPI is a ''responsible party'' pursuant to section 701(a)(1) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 701(a)(1). Thus, the Department had claims against LIPI for both civil penalties as well as its response costs incurred to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claims against LIPI. Thus, the Department has entered into a settlement agreement with LIPI for the immediate reimbursement of its response costs as well as the payment of certain civil penalties upon the sale of the Site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.1113, which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments''. The settlement agreement, which contains the specific terms of the agreement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, by contacting either Timothy Cherry (484) 250-5728 or Gina M. Thomas, Esquire at (484) 250-5930. Mr. Cherry and Ms. Thomas may also be contacted electronically at tcherrystate.pa.us and githomas@state.pa.us, respectively. The public comment period for the settlement agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them at the above address.

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.

Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Proposed Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Keystone Instruments, Inc., Castanea Township, Clinton County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6029.101—6020.1305), proposes to initiate an interim response at Keystone Instruments, Inc., located in Castanea Township with an address of 320 Proctor Street, Lock Haven, PA 17745.
Keystone Instruments, Inc. consists of a 2-story wood frame building on a concrete slab with exterior dimensions of 32` by 48` on a 47` by 120` (0.13 acre) lot (Site). The Site is located at the W.T. Piper Memorial Airport approximately 150 feet west of the recently HSCA remediated Karnish Instruments Airport Site.
The Site building was constructed in the mid-1960s by Keystone Instruments, Inc. (Keystone) who have been repairing and maintaining aircraft instruments, many of which contained radium paint, at this location to the present time. The Department became aware of Keystone in 2006 when a trash truck hauling waste from the Site triggered a radiation monitoring alarm at the Wayne Township Landfill. Subsequent inspections of the Site conducted with field instruments determined there to be widespread radium contamination in instrument repair areas, in hallways, on stairs, on furniture, tools, and equipment, and on the grounds outside the building. Radium-226 is a radioactive isotope, the use or possession of which requires a license under Pennsylvania regulations. Keystone does not posses and had never applied for a license to operate. Up until recently, Keystone removed radium containing paint using solvents and/or sanding methods before the dials would be repainted using non-radioactive paint. In the most recent days of operating at this location, Keystone no longer removed the radium containing paint, but simply flipped the dials over before repainting.
The Department has worked with Keystone for over two years in an attempt to bring them into compliance with Pennsylvania regulations, and on October 10, 2008 entered into a Consent Order & Agreement (CO&A) that outlined the necessary tasks to accomplish this. Keystone had subsequently notified the Department that they were unable to secure the financial assurance required by the CO&A. After Keystone's failure to adequately characterize radioactive contamination around the exterior of the Site also as required by the CO&A, the Department retained the services of a HSCA funded contractor who from June 29 through July 3, 2009, conducted an exterior characterization survey. Based on these results, an estimated 1,500 cubic feet of radiologically contaminated soil will need to be removed to achieve acceptable exposure levels. On November 9, 2009, we received from Keystone an internal building characterization report. It indicated that readily accessible interior surface contamination has largely been cleaned up and poses minimal risk to workers in the building in its current condition. However, significant radium contamination remains in the walls and floor space due to past flooding and could pose a risk during any future renovation.
The Department's major objective in addressing the Site is to protect the public health and environment by eliminating the health threats posed by exposure to the radium contamination.
To achieve this objective, the Department considered the following alternatives:
Alternative No. 1—No Further Action.
This action would be to conduct no further remedial activities at the Site, leaving it in its current condition.
Alternative No. 2—Soil removal in exterior areas and ''surgical'' removal of contaminated materials inside the building structure.
This alternative involves the excavation of exterior contaminated soils. For building remediation, this option consists of surveying structural surfaces to determine if there is radioactivity above background, marking the areas of contamination on interior surfaces of the building and using surgical demolition to remove the areas identified. A final radiological site survey would be conducted.
Alternative No. 3—Soil removal in exterior areas and complete demolition of the building.
Alternative 3 consists of excavation of contaminated soils. Additionally, the entire structure would be completely demolished. All building debris, including the concrete building slab, and all contaminated soils, including any found beneath the concrete slab, would be sent to a landfill permitted/licensed to accept radiologically contaminated material. A final radiological site survey would be conducted.
The Department's preferred course of action is Alternative No. 3, Soil removal in exterior areas and complete demolition of the building. This was determined to be the response that is the most cost effective, permanent, and protective of human health and the environment. The Department may implement this response before the close of the public comment period if it is determined that prompt action is required to protect the public health or safety or the environment.
All information (documents, technical references, detailed site information, and the like), which was used as the basis for evaluation of alternatives and selection of the proposed interim response action outlined in this notice, is contained in the Administrative Record. The Administrative Record is available for public inspection from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Lock Haven City Hall, 20 East Church Street, Lock Haven, PA or by calling Kathy Arndt to arrange an appointment from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northcentral Field Operations Office, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, (570) 327-3636.
Written comments concerning the Department's proposed response action and information in the Administrative Record will be accepted either in person if delivered to the West Third Street office on or before June 11, 2010, or by mail postmarked on or before June 11, 2010, sent to the attention of Denny Wright at 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, or by e-mail sent to dewright@state.pa.us on or before midnight June 11, 2010. All written and oral comments received during the public comment period and the Department's responses, will be placed into the Administrative Record.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the 90-day comment period on the Administrative Record, as provided under HSCA.
Notice of Public Meeting and Public Hearing Keystone Instruments, Inc. Site Castanea Township, Clinton County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will conduct a public meeting at 6 p.m. on May 4, 2010, in the Council Chambers at Lock Haven City Hall to discuss the proposed remedial actions at the Keystone Instruments, Inc. site. Staff from the Department's Environmental Cleanup and Radiation Protection programs will make presentations and then answer questions from the public.
The public meeting will be followed by a Department public hearing beginning at 7:30 p.m. during which time citizens will have an opportunity to present oral testimony regarding the proposed remedial actions. Anyone who wishes to present oral testimony during the public hearing may register that evening prior to the hearing. Citizens will have a maximum of 5 minutes each to present testimony. Written testimony of any length also will be accepted. The testimony will be recorded by a court reporter and transcribed into a written document.
