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 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 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 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)(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.

Plan Approvals Granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20a).
Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Plan Location: Hidden Valley Scout Reservation, Hidden Valley Road, Tyrone Township, Perry County.
The approved plan provides for the installation of a sanitary sewer system to collect all sewage generated at the camp and convey it to the Loysville Village Municipal Authority's facilities for the treatment. The Scout Council recently entered into an agreement with the Loysville Village Municipal Authority to connect and discharge up to 20,000 gallons per day of sewage to the Authority's system. Based on 400 gallons per day per equivalent dwelling unit (EDUs), this is equal to 50 EDUs. The projected population to be served by the project is equal to 200 full-time occupants. Potable water for the Reservation is supplied by onsite wells owned and operated by the Scout Council. No new wells are proposed as part of the project.
Plan Location: Southern Phase II--2002 (Creek Road, West Lisburn Road, Shuman Road, Meadow Lane, North Loop Road), Monroe Township, Cumberland County.
The approved plan provides for the installation of approximately 9,325 feet of low pressure sewer in the western portion of Monroe Township. Projected increased sewage flows are 14,175 gallons per day to be conveyed to the existing South Middleton Township Wastewater Treatment Plant. Sewer will run along a portion of the following roads: first area--Creek Road where it ties into Kuhn Road and second area--West Lisburn Road, Shuman Road, Meadow Lane and North Loop Road.
The plan provides for the change in the method of sewage disposal for three previously approved plans. They are Lisburn Meadows South, Lisburn Meadow Estates North and Mountain View Estates. These developments will be served by low-pressure sanitary sewer and onlot sewage disposal systems will be an interim method of sewage disposal.
Sewer service on North Loop Road in the first area and Creek Road in the second area would be implemented immediately. Implementation of the remainder of the additional service areas would be delayed for 12 years. Earlier implementation is acceptable under this plan approval.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Application Period for Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant Applications under Section 904 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101) Calendar Year 2001 Recycling The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling performance grant assistance for recycling programs under Act 101. Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. This application period is for eligible materials recycled and marketed in calendar year 2001.
Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant (grant) funds will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source separated recyclable materials identified in section 1501(c)(1)(i) of Act 101 recovered by municipal recycling programs and the population of the municipality as determined by the most recent decennial census. Municipalities will be eligible to receive an award based on a formula of $5 for each Department approved ton of eligible recyclable materials recycled or marketed and $1 per approved ton for each percentage of municipal waste calculated by the Department to be diverted from disposal. The weight of eligible materials allowable from nonresidential (commercial, institutional and municipal) sources under the preceding formula will be limited to no more than the weight of approved eligible materials from residential sources. Any Department approved materials from nonresidential sources not factored into the preceding formula will be awarded a bonus of $10 per ton. The Department will not award grants calculated to be less than $10.
Applicants that have failed to comply with the conditions set forth in previously awarded grants, the grant requirements or regulations of Act 101 may not be awarded funds under this grant program. Applicants must ensure that they are in compliance with section 272.314(b)(2) of Act 101 relating to the submittal of the annual recycling report.
Eligible materials include post-consumer clear glass, colored glass, aluminum cans, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper and plastics. Grants will be awarded only for properly documented, eligible materials that were actually marketed on or after January 1, 2001, to and including, December 31, 2001. Grant funds will not be awarded for residues, materials not listed as eligible including, but not limited to, leaf and yard wastes or any materials which cannot be documented as being recycled into a new product or use.
Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and marketed must be made available for auditing by the Department, the Office of the Auditor General, the Office of the Treasurer or agents of those offices for 4 years. The Department will not require applicants to retain hauler customer lists; however, the lists may be required to be examined in the event of an audit. It will be the applicant's responsibility to arrange for hauler customer lists to be provided or for haulers to be present with their customer lists, during a grant audit. Supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application.
Acceptable Supporting Documentation: Weight slips or receipts verifying that the materials were recycled or marketed are required as supporting documentation for the grant application. The documentation must include: 1) the date the materials were recycled/marketed; 2) the type of material recycled/marketed; 3) the name of the municipality where the material was generated; and 4) weight, stated in pounds or tons, of the material recycled/marketed. Documentation supporting materials source separated from municipal waste by commercial/institutional establishments and recycled/marketed must bear the name of the establishment and the municipality where the establishment is located.
Acceptable documentation must be provided in one of the following formats: 1) a dated weight/market receipt identifying the generator of the recyclable materials and the market; 2) a dated report submitted by the hauler or market on company letterhead clearly indicating the name of the company generating the recyclable materials; or 3) a dated report submitted by the generator, which is signed by the hauler or market vendor that received the materials. Reports may be submitted on annual, monthly, weekly or other time period format. All information must be legible.
Estimates of weight will not be accepted except in cases where: 1) the material is packaged in uniform bales and the average weight of a bale can be demonstrated and supported by weight receipts and a record of the number of bales was provided by the market vendors; or when 2) multiple generators contribute to a known quantity of marketed material and the hauler or market estimates the quantities attributable to any individual establishment or municipality and verifies the estimate with a signature.
Although the supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the grant application, any documentation provided must conform to the previous requirements or the materials claimed will not be credited toward the grant award.
Grant applications must be on forms provided by the Department for calendar year 2001. Grant applications must be delivered by 3 p.m., September 27, 2002, or postmarked by that date. Applications received by the Department after the deadline will be returned to the applicant. All grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of Act 101 and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

Applicants who filed a Performance Grant application for calendar year 2000 will be mailed a current application by the Department as soon as they are available.
