(Quail Ridge Farm), 1301 Fulling Mill Road, Suite 1200, Middletown, PA 17057. Country View Family Farms, Inc. has submitted an application for an Individual NPDES permit for a proposed CAFO known as Quail Ridge Farm to be located at 1211 Moselem Springs Road, Perry Township, Berks County.
The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary of Maiden Creek (WWF) in Watershed 3-B. The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,380 AEUs consisting of 2,800 gestating sows, 336 sows with litter, 688 gilt finishers and 4 boars. Two barns are proposed--a farrowing barn and a gestation barn. Both barns will have in-ground concrete manure storage facilities. Manure collected in the farrowing barn manure storage facility will flow into the gestation barn manure storage facility. The total storage capacity of the gestation barn manure storage facility will be 3.05 million gallons. The expected annual manure production is approximately 3 million gallons. Approximately 35% of the manure generated will be applied onsite from subsurface injection on approximately 167 acres and the remainder will be exported off site to two farms in Perry Township and one farm in Richmond Township, Berks County. Prior to operation of the manure storage facilities, the design engineer will be required to submit certification that the facilities were constructed in accordance with appropriate Pennsylvania Technical Guide Standards and the Part II permit. A release or discharge to waters of this Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.
The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit.
The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

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 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, 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office after 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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.

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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office after 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau), has received a request for variance from Senate Coal Mines, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida, (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to Paul L. Hummel, Acting Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 221(d) of the act requires that after an extended ventilation interruption, the electric power must be disconnected from the affected portions of the mine and personnel be evacuated from the mine. It also requires that, after the ventilation is restored, the mine must be examined before workers return to their work.
Summary of the Request: Senate Coal Mines, Inc. requests a variance during the fan stoppage of the main mine fans when the ventilation quantity is not maintained by the backup fan system. This variance is to maintain electric power on circuits necessary to withdraw persons if located in areas or haulageways where methane is not likely to migrate or to accumulate. These electrical circuits will be de-energized as persons are withdrawn. In addition, mechanized equipment necessary to withdraw persons from the mine need not be shut off if located in areas where methane is not likely to migrate or accumulate. If ventilation is restored, the miners may stop the evacuation in a safe location and return to work areas only after a certified person has made a thorough examination of the areas and the areas are determined to be safe. After ventilation has been restored and the fan has operated for at least 15 minutes, the examiner may use nonpermissible transportation in intake airways to facilitate the making of the examination at the Ondo Mine.
