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 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)(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 sites identified below 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 of Environmental Protection 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.

PLAN APPROVALS 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Spring Brook Township, Lackawanna County. The Department completed review of Spring Brook Township's Act 537 Plan Update Revision/Special Study dated September, 1999. The Department finds that the Plan Update Revision for the Pump Station DP-3 project is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.
Spring Brook Township proposes this Special Study to avoid a potential overload condition at the Authority's DP-2 wastewater pumping station. The selected alternative involves construction of an intermediate pump station (DP-3) to be located next to the Township Municipal Building along S. R. 307. This will alleviate potential problems at the existing DP-2 Pump Station. Pump Station DP-3 will have a rated hydraulic capacity of 163 gpm (@ 75 ft. TDH) or 230,400 gpd. All wastewater from the project area will continue to be treated at the existing Spring Brook Township Sewer Authority wastewater treatment plant.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's Regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold Spring Brook Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of this Plan Update.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Special Study and this correspondence must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Perluke Cooperage Site Nanticoke City, Luzerne County The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Perluke Cooperage Site (site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)). The site is located at 200 Mosier Street, Nanticoke City, Luzerne County, PA.
The site consisted of an abandoned beer keg wash/repair facility with drums, containers and cylinders of chemicals used at the facility. The Department has removed the following hazardous substances and/or contaminants at the site: caustic soda, nitric acid, various oils and sodium cyanide. The Department also removed cylinders of oxygen and acetylene and 60 linear feet of asbestos. Improper storage and disposal of such materials posed an ongoing threat to public health and safety and the environment.
The objective of the prompt interim response was to remove the hazardous substances and/or contaminants from the site and to safely dispose of them at offsite facilities that have regulatory approvals for the treatment and disposal of such hazardous substances and/or contaminants.
Given the specific circumstances at the site, the Department determined that offsite removal of the hazardous substances and/or contaminants was the only viable alternative to implement at this site. This response action was needed in a prompt manner to protect public health and safety and the environment.
On February 6, 2000, the Department mobilized at the site to conduct an emergency response to address drums in the building which were exposed after the roof and walls of the building collapsed. The response included characterizing, stabilizing, removing, and disposing of the drums, containers and cylinders in the building. During the emergency response, the building was totally demolished to provide safe access to the drums. The response was completed on February 8, 2000.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the DEP Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from April 1, 2000 until June 30, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Leonard Zelinka, Department Project Officer, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, in Luzerne County or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusions in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on May 16, 2000 at 10 a.m., at the Department's Northeast Regional Office, Fourth Floor, Lehigh Room. Persons wishing to present comments should register with Leonard Zelinka before May 2, 2000 by telephone at (570) 826-5441 or in writing to Leonard Zelinka at the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
If no person register to present oral comments, by May 2, 2000, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should contact Leonard Zelinka.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Leonard Zelinka or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6027.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program 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 Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). 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 reuse 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. 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 of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a plan or report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.

Section 203-A(1)--Underground diesel-powered equipment shall include an exhaust emissions control and conditioning system that has been laboratory tested with the diesel engine, except as provided in paragraph (3), using the ISO 8178-1 test and has resulted in DPM emissions that do not exceed an average concentration of 0.12 mg over M to the third power when diluted by MSHA Part 7 approval plate ventilation rate for that diesel engine.
Section 204-A(d)--Section 204-A of the State law is unaffected by the MSHA Part 7 changes. However, since under Part 7, 203-A(1) now requires 100% of the MSHA Part 7 ventilating plate quantities relative to DPM emission levels, the minimum of 100% of the MSHA Part 7 approval plate quantity will be required for each unit operating in that split.
Air quantity measurements to determine compliance with this requirement shall be made at the most downwind unit of diesel-powered equipment that is being operated in that air split.
As of November 25, 1999, the Department will apply the methods noted above relative to Sections 201-A(c), 203-A(1), and 204-A(d) of the Act for all previously approved Diesel-Powered Equipment Packages and all future Diesel-Powered Equipment Packages in order to insure that the same level of health and safety protection afforded by the Act remains in place with the implementation of MSHA Part 7 Ventilation Quantity Requirements on November 25, 1999.
