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 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, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Permit Application No. T-1060 and G-2127. Waste Mgmt. of Pa., Inc., 444 Oxford Valley Road, Langhorne, PA 19047, Falls Township, Borough of Tullytown, Bucks County. The operators of GROWS Landfill and Tullytown Resource Recovery Facility Landfill have submitted a request for the one-time disposal of an estimated 510 cubic yards of material related to the removal of the reed beds at the Borough of Royersford's wastewater treatment facility (Royersford). The reed bed material consists of dewatered sewage sludge and reeds that became contaminated with various low activity radioactive materials--primarily cesium-137 and cobalt-60-by receiving radioactive influent from sewer releases made under 10 CFR 20.2003 by UniTech Services Group (formerly known as Interstate Nuclear Services), from approximately 1985-2004. Royersford desires to remove the reed beds in their entirety to make way for a treatment plant expansion.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has not exercised any regulatory authority over the possession and subsequent routine disposal of Royersford sludge in the past. However, both the NRC and the Department believe that the reed bed material should be assessed before being moved or disposed offsite. To that end, in October 2007, the NRC conducted a dose assessment for workers and the public from residual radioactivity in the dewatered sewage sludge in the reed beds. That assessment found that doses to workers at both Royersford and the disposal facility would not be significant if the sewage sludge is disposed in a permitted landfill. Long-term doses to the public from disposing of the sewage sludge at a permitted waste facility will be a very small fraction of a mrem/year (the NRC's acceptable public dose limit is 100 mrem/year). The conclusion of the NRC assessment is that disposal in a permitted landfill should be pursued as compared to leaving the sludge in place.
Based on the NRC assessment, Royersford proposes to dispose of the reed bed material at either GROWS and/or TRRF Landfill. SERO Waste Management and Radiation Protection Program staff are currently reviewing the disposal request, copies of which have been provided to the Borough of Tullytown, Falls Township and Bucks County Department of Health. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received within 30 days from the publication date of this notice. A copy of the disposal request may be viewed at the Norristown office of the SERO by calling (484) 250-5910 to schedule a public file review. The application was received by the Southeast Regional Office on January 14, 2008.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 19-00020. The Department intends to incorporate into this renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 19-00020 with these exceptions, changes and additions:
1. A condition requiring the performance of Method 24 VOC analyses of each coating, adhesive and solvent used at the facility has been removed from the permit as Method 24 results do not necessarily accurately reflect the true VOC content of all coatings, adhesives and solvents and the permittee is otherwise required to maintain records of the VOC content of all the materials.
2. Conditions requiring the performance of weekly inspections of the facility for the presence of excessive visible air contaminant emissions, excessive visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and excess malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the facility does not contain the types of sources that are likely to produce excessive visible air contaminant emissions and excessive visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and has no history of producing excessive malodorous air contaminant emissions.
3. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and periodic reporting, of records of ''the supporting calculations . . . used to verify compliance with'' facility-wide emission limitations have been revised to both expand the list of limitations for which records are to be maintained and recorded and to clarify the specific information which must be recorded and reported.
4. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been modified to exclude the reporting of malfunctions which do not result in, or potentially result in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation and/or do not result in, or potentially result in, noncompliance with any operating permit condition.
5. 41 small natural gas-fired combustion units (with a total combined heat input of 7.26 mmBtu/hr) have been added to the permit along with a condition specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 SOx emission limitation and a condition limiting the fuel used in the respective combustion units to natural gas.
6. Conditions have been added to the permit requiring the performance of VOC capture efficiency testing and regenerative thermal oxidizer VOC destruction efficiency testing by no later than November 1, 2008, and approximately every 3 years thereafter, while the surface coating operation is operating at a minimum VOC generation rate and also while it is operating at a maximum VOC generation rate.
7. A condition requiring the recording of at least one paint burnoff oven secondary chamber temperature reading per day has been removed from the permit as the paint burnoff oven is required to have a continuous secondary chamber temperature monitoring and recording system.
8. Conditions requiring the paint burnoff oven to be operated in a manner consistent with good operating and maintenance practices and in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications have been removed from the permit as the respective requirements are too vague to be enforceable on a practical basis.
9. A 12 kilowatt propane-fired generator has been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 PM emission limitation and 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 SOx emission limitation and a condition limiting the fuel used in the generator to propane.
10. Conditions requiring the maintenance, and periodic reporting, of records of ''the supporting calculations . . . used to verify compliance with'' the 14.8 ton per 12-consecutive month period VOC surface coating operation emission limitation have been revised to clarify the specific information which must be recorded and reported.
11. Conditions addressing the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 129.63 requirements for a solvent parts washer have been revised to clarify the specific requirements.
12. Various conditions previously located in Section C (Site Level Requirements) of the permit have been moved to Section D (Source Level Requirements).

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of 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 act's remediation standards. 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. 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), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of 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. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears.
