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.

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.

Bureau of Mine Safety Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Penn View Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) (53 P. S. §§ 701-101--701-706) at the TJS No. 6 Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau web site at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
Summary of the Request: Penn View Mining Company requested a variance from the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the TJS No. 6 Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The Pyott-Boone 9500 CO Monitoring System will provide advance warning of a developing mine fire originating in the conveyor belt entry. When maintained and operating correctly, this system provides warnings much earlier than the point type heat sensors.
2. Common entries would permit the larger section mantrip and scoops access to belt entry for transportation of personnel and supplies.
3. The operator will maintain a separate isolated intake escapeway that is at a higher air pressure than the belt and common entries.
4. The plan provides for the common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway. There will be a total of three separate, isolated escape routes.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the plan and the following conditions:
1. All mine employees shall be task trained in the Pyott Boone CO monitoring system alert and alarm response procedures. These procedures shall also be included in the 8-hour annual retraining.
2. A test button shall be installed to allow a daily function check of the outside surface alarm system. A competent person shall make this daily function test and a record of this test maintained.
3. As part of the requirements of section 228, all belt entries, common entries and unfenced roadways shall be preshifted in their entirety.
4. A preshift date board should be placed at each CO sensor location.
5. Designated areas shall be established (with approval from the District Inspector) at strategic locations along the belt entry and common entries to determine whether the air is traveling in the proper course and normal volume. This air reading shall be taken by a scientific means (anemometer, chemical smoke tube, velometer) and recorded in the preshift examination record book.
6. The investigative committee shall conduct an underground ventilation survey when the belt and common entries are established to verify pressure differential between the intake escapeway and the common entries.
7. The investigative committee shall evaluate the visual and audible alarms during the installation process.
8. A list of designated surface personnel shall be forwarded to the District Inspector upon activation of the CO Monitoring System. Copies of the task training records shall also be forwarded to the District Inspector.
9. Both the visual and audible alarm signals must automatically be provided at all working sections.
10. If the common entries cannot be maintained at a lower pressure condition, the mine operator shall notify the Bureau of the condition, the specific cause, areas affected and steps that will be taken to maintain the pressure in the belt and common entries at the lowest attainable level.
11. The operator must ascertain whether or not the belt compounds used in the mine produce CO when burnt. Should the operator use a non-CO producing compound in the mine, additional sensors must be used in conjunction with the CO detectors to provide the early warning benefits of the monitoring system.
12. The CO sensor spacing must be adjusted to provide a reasonable alarm time should a fire occur in the belt entry or the common entries. The currently accepted standard is to provide an alarm within 20 minutes of the initiation of a fire. However, the Bureau of Mines Report of Investigation 9380 states that the CO monitoring system must detect a small, flaming coal fire within a time, measured from the moment of ignition of the coal fire, of 14.25 minutes or less. The belt entry air velocity will determine sensor spacing. The adjustments will be made during the onsite inspection.
13. The operator shall comply with the Federal Fire Defense and Evacuation Plan and the following Federal standards
a. 30 CFR 75.350(7)(c)(d)
b. 30 CFR 75.351
c. 30 CFR 75.380
d. 30 CFR 75.1100
14. If any changes are made in the approved plan or if the District Mine Inspector finds any deficiencies, a revised program shall be sent to the Bureau for approval of the revision.
15. In main entries, submain entries and butt entries, the operator will maintain as many intakes as belt common entries.
