LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 1
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 following 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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.
Notice is hereby given that 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. Any comments or protests filed with the 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.

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 Captain John E. Lampe Marina 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 9,700 cubic yards of basin sediments from the Captain John E. Lampe Marina (Erie North, PA Quadrangle N: 4.2 inches; W: 10.0 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 have a relatively insignificant effect on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the Captain John E. Lampe Marina and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.

Northcentral Regional Office--Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-0530.
Location: Athens Township, Bradford County.
Project Description: The approved plan calls for construction of a low pressure/grinder pump collection system to replace the holding tanks presently serving the 21 existing residencies in the Lake Macham Development. Treatment will be provided in a new 11,500 gallon per day recirculating sand filter type wastewater treatment facility with discharge of the treated effluent to Wolcott Creek.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
Location: Covington Township, Tioga County.
Project Description: An update revision proposing construction of a wastewater collection system to serve the portion of the Township along Route 15 just north of the Covington Township/Putnam Township line has been disapproved by the Department. The new sewers would have been tributary to existing conveyance lines owned by the Richmond Township Municipal Authority and the Borough of Mansfield and Mansfield's exist- ing wastewater treatment facility. The reason for the Department's disapproval of this plan was the failure of Covington Township to secure resolutions from Richmond Township and Mansfield Borough to formalize those municipalities' commitment to the recommended project.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
Location: Richmond Township, Tioga County.
Project Description: The approved plan calls for construction by the Richmond Township Municipal Authority of new sewer extensions to serve the Kable Acres, Pickle Hill and Route 6 West areas of the township which are presently served by onlot septic systems. The Kable Acres collection line will convey collected wastewater through existing Richmond Township Municipal Authority and Mansfield Borough conveyance lines to Mansfield's existing wastewater treatment facility for final treatment. The Pickle Hill and Route 6 West extensions will be tributary to existing Mansfield Borough sewer lines. Again, treatment will be provided at the existing Mansfield treatment facility. A total of approximately 95 existing equivalent dwelling units will be served by the new sewers.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
