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 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. 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 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.

Bethlehem, PA 18020Northampton Plan Description: This planning submission provides for the construction of approximately 9,200 feet of 8-inch diameter sewer main in Palmer and Bethlehem Townships which will eliminate the PTMSA's Ridgewood Road Pump Station which currently serves 36 existing homes in Palmer and Bethlehem Townships. In addition, the sewers to be constructed will pass by 12 existing homes and a church in Bethlehem Township which currently have onlot septic systems. Approximately 126 additional people in Palmer Township will be served by public sewers as a result of this project based on 45 homes with an estimated 2.8 persons per home. Wastewater flow from the existing homes which presently have onlot septic systems are estimated at approximately 12,600 gallons per day (gpd) based on an estimated average daily wastewater flow of 100 gpd per person. The proposed method of sewage disposal is the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The flow from the existing homes will be conveyed to the WWTP via the Palmer Township Municipal Sewer Authority's North Intercepting Sewer, the Forks Township Municipal Sewer Authority's Bushkill Creek interceptor and downstream wastewater conveyance facilities in the City of Easton. The PTMSA conveyance facilities have adequate capacity for the additional wastewater flow and Palmer has adequate reserve capacity allocation in the downstream conveyance and treatment facilities for the projected flow of this project.
