   The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from Valley Coal Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.

   The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order 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. All comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.

   Section 702 of The Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) 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 242(c) of The Bituminous Coal Mine Act requires that where belt conveyors are installed, main stoppings and regulators shall be so arranged as to reduce the quantity of air traveling in the belt conveyor entry to a minimum for effective ventilation and to provide an intake air split as an escapeway from the face area to the main air current.

   Summary of the Request: Valley Coal Company is proposing to incorporate a rail system for transporting personnel and supplies to the working sections of the 6-West Mains. The rail system entry would be established in an entry adjacent to the belt entry. Both entries would maintain common intake air, isolated from the primary intake and return entries.

Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges

   The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management, and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.

   The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding these applications and proposed permit actions. Comments should include the name, address, telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on DEP's file.

Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement

Filmore Site
Millcreek Township, Erie County

   Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Lena Kimmel concerning the Filmore Site.

   The Filmore Site encompasses approximately 20 acres at the south end of Filmore Avenue in Millcreek Township. In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed throughout the Filmore Site. The Department has determined that response actions are necessary to protect the public health and welfare and the environment at the Filmore Site.

   Lena Kimmel currently owns two parcels within the Filmore Site that cover approximately 0.17 acre. The Department has incurred and will incur response costs because of the hazardous substances that have contaminated these parcels. However, based upon information obtained by the Department, and based upon information certified to by Ms. Kimmel, the Department has determined that Ms. Kimmel did not cause or contribute to the contamination of these parcels or the rest of the Filmore Site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to settle any claims that it may have against Ms. Kimmel for $3,475 and her consent to access so that the Department, and its designated agents, may conduct response actions at the parcels owned by Ms. Kimmel.

   The specifics of the Department's settlement with Ms. Kimmel are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlement with Ms. Kimmel if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlement with Ms. Kimmel shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant comments that it receives during the 60-day public comment period.

   Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Charles Tordella, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mr. Tordella at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.

Notice of Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company Site
Newberry Township, York County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into eight proposed consent decrees regarding the Department's costs incurred for response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The proposed consent decrees have been entered into with Biddle Sawyer Corporation (Biddle), Quebecor Printing Memphis Inc. (Quebecor), Verla International, Ltd. (Verla), Dynamics Corporation of America (Dynamics), Specialty Screw Machine Products, Inc. (Specialty), American Inks and Coatings Corporation (American), Stambaugh's Air Service, Inc. (Stambaugh's), and various departments and agencies of the United States (United States), all defendants in Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection v. Reeves Hoffman Div./Dynamics Corp. of America, et al., 1:CV-95-0499 (M.D. Pa.) and were lodged with the Court during the 60-day comment period required by section 1113 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.1113).

   The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial, and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.

   ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 potentially responsible parties for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.

   Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.

Notice of Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Covington Township
Lackawanna County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), act of October 18, 1988, initiated a prompt interim response (response) at the Windship Road Drum Site (Site). The site is located along a private roadway off of Windship Road near Route 307, in Covington Township, Lackawanna County.

   On February 26, 1995, Department personnel inspected the site subsequent to a citizens report that several drums of unknown material were discovered as a result of some excavation activities performed during the cleanout of a drainage culvert. During the inspection, six drums, exposed or partially exposed, were noted. A subsequent investigation by the Department, using metal detection instrumentation, indicated the probable presence of additional buried drums. The site is located directly adjacent to a commercial property as well as several residences. A small stream runs along the eastern edge of the site into a wetland approximately 200 feet south of the site.

   After determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response at the site on February 28, 1996. The prompt action interim response chosen by the Department consisted of excavation of drums, re-packaging, chemical analysis, temporary storage and final disposal at an approved facility. A total of 56 drums, as well as 1 small container, were discovered during the response. The Department also considered taking no action at the site. However, due to the imminent threat to human health and safety and the environment, this option was rejected by the Department.

   The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

   Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before June 21, 1996 to the attention of Joseph Iannuzzo, Project Officer--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.

   Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for May 16, 1996, at 7 p.m. at the Covington Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before May 9, 1996 by calling Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2589. If no person registers to present oral comments by May 9, 1996, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Joseph Iannuzzo.

   The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90 day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under that act. Questions concerning this site may be directed to Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2589, or Michael Ferrence, Assistant Counsel, at (717) 826-2519.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing referenced above and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Joseph Iannuzzo directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
