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.

08-310-001F: Dalrymple Gravel and Contracting Co., Inc. (2105 South Broadway, Pine City, NY 14871) for construction of various new pieces of sand and gravel crushing, screening and conveying equipment at their existing facility in Athens Township, Bradford County. Fugitive dust emissions from the additional equipment are expected to be minimal due to the wet nature of the material to be processed and the amount of water that will be applied throughout the operation.
The Department has determined that the proposed additional equipment will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676. The Department consequently intends to issue plan approval for the construction of the respective equipment.
The Department intends to place conditions in the plan approval to be issued to assure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements. The following is a summary of these conditions:
1. If at any time it is determined that the air contaminant emissions from the crushing, screening and conveying equipment are in excess of any applicable air contaminant emission limitation, the company shall install additional water spray dust suppression nozzles and/or take other control measures as are necessary to reduce the air contaminant emissions to within the applicable limitations.
2. The air contaminant emissions from the equipment shall comply with the applicable requirements specified in Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676.
3. This plan approval does not authorize the construction of any engines or generators.
4. The company shall have onsite an operable water truck equipped with a pressurized spray bar to be used, as needed, for the prevention and control of fugitive air contaminant emissions from roadways, stock piles, truck loading activities, and so on.
55-00002A: Department of Public Welfare (P. O. Box 2675, Harrisburg, PA 17105) for the installation of an air cleaning device, a core separator, on three existing bituminous coal-fired boilers at the Selinsgrove Center in Penn Township, Snyder County. The application also requests approval to install an air cleaning device, a fabric collector, on an existing ash silo.
Selinsgrove Center is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (#55-00002) has been issued. The two 60 million Btu per hour and one 50.4 million Btu per hour boilers have been operating in noncompliance of the particulate matter emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.11. The installation of the core separator is expected to significantly reduce the particulate matter emissions from the boilers and allow them to comply with the applicable particulate matter emission limitations. The new fabric collector will replace a fabric collector which is currently controlling the particulate matter emissions from the silo.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed installations will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the particulate matter emission limitations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.11 and 123.13. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to install the proposed air cleaning devices on the respective sources.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the core separator, particulate matter stack testing shall be performed while the boilers are operating at the maximum capacity at which they will ever be operated to demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 123.11.
2. Once installation of the core separator is completed, none of the boilers shall operate without the simultaneous operation of the core separator.

WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION REQUEST Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424. Discharge of dredged material from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N: 2.7 inches; W: 11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility, in Erie City, Erie County, ACOE Pittsburgh District, Erie North, PA, Quadrangle N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W).
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 discharge of dredged material from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of 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 into 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 US 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 approximately 4,300 cubic yards of basin sediments from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N: 2.7 inches; W: 11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W) will have a relatively insignificant impact on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.

Drums, PA 18222Luzerne Plan Description: The Plan Update Revision's selected wastewater disposal alternative calls for the implementation of ''Alternatives'' 2, 7, 8, 13 and 14 as described in Chapter 5 of the Plan Update Revision.
The Plan Update Revision calls for the upgrade and expansion of the Butler Township Authority's (Authority) Drums Wastewater Treatment Facility from a permitted capacity of 0.4 MGD to 0.465250 MGD (Design Annual Average Flow) or 1.0 MGD (Design Maximum Monthly Flow). The Plan Update Revision also calls for the upgrade and expansion of the Authority's St. Johns Wastewater Treatment Facility from a permitted capacity of 0.6 MGD to 0.714100 MGD (Design Annual Average Flow) or 1.2 MGD (Design Maximum Monthly Flow). Both facilities will be converted to a Sequencing Batch Reactor configuration for treatment of the wastewater that they receive.
The Plan Update Revision's selected wastewater disposal alternative also calls for the installation of new sanitary wastewater collection systems to serve the following areas of Butler Township: Hashagen Manor (Area 1), Terrace Manor Estates (Area 2), Village of Upper Lehigh (Area 3), Walnut St. and Terrace Road Areas (Area 4) and the Macieunas Property (Area 9). Wastewater from the collection systems proposed for Areas 1, 2 and 9 will be conveyed to the Drums Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Wastewater from the collection systems proposed for Areas 3 and 4 will be conveyed through existing and proposed portions of the Foster Township and Freeland Municipal Authority's Wastewater Collection Systems. Wastewater from these two areas will be conveyed ultimately to the Freeland Municipal Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge.
The Plan Update Revision's selected wastewater disposal alternative also calls for all areas not currently served or those proposed to be served by centralized wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment systems in the Plan Update Revision, to continue to use onlot wastewater disposal systems as their approved method of wastewater disposal. These areas will also be governed by the requirements of the Sewage Management Program as proposed in Appendix P of the Plan Update Revision.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative and operation of the existing and proposed facilities will be performed by the Authority with the cooperation of Butler Township, the Borough of Freeland, Foster Township and the Freeland Municipal Authority.
Financing of the proposed wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment systems is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require NPDES Permits for the proposed increases in treated effluent discharge from the Drums and St. Johns Wastewater Treatment Facilities. These permit applications must be submitted in the name of the Authority. The proposed projects will also require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. This permit application must also be submitted in the name of the Authority. The Department's review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP ACT UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Notice of Interim Response Algonquin Chemical Company Site
Hamburg Borough and Windsor Township,
Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) is initiating an interim response at the Algonquin Chemical Company Site (Site) located in Hamburg Borough and Windsor Township, Berks County, PA.
The Site is located in the southern section of Hamburg Borough and partially in Windsor Township, Berks County, PA. The Site address is P. O. Box 288, Hamburg, PA 19526. The Site property is approximately 1-3/4 miles south of the intersection of Routes 78 and 61 and is situated approximately 100 yards west of Route 61 South.
The Algonquin Chemical Company (ACC) was incorporated in 1953 and began operations at this site in the early 1970s. The facility manufactured solvents, degreasers, lubricants, oils and soaps from bulk materials. The manufactured materials were sold for agricultural, industrial, commercial and consumer uses. The bulk materials were shipped to the site in either 55-gallon drums or by tank truck. ACC ceased operations in February 1991.
Site characterization studies by the Department identified soil contamination in distinct areas throughout the Site property and under the former building foundation. These studies also detected groundwater contamination beneath the Site. Site soils contain VOCs and metals above regulatory standards and Site groundwater contains VOCs above regulatory standards. VOC and metal contamination above regulatory standards include tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichlorothane, dichloromethane (methylene chloride), lead, arsenic and selenium.
The present concentrations of VOCs and metals in soil and groundwater create a substantial threat to the public health and safety via an ingestion, inhalation and direct contact pathways. The soil-VOCs also provide a source area for continued contamination of the groundwater.
The Department has considered three alternatives for a Site response. The following are brief descriptions of these alternatives.
1. Contaminated Soil Removal and Disposal--This alternative involves excavating contaminated soil, providing for proper characterization of excavated soil for disposal and or treatment, replacing excavated areas with uncontaminated off-Site soil to grade and vegetation of new soil where appropriate.
2. Insitu Treatment of Site Groundwater--This alternative provides for the injection of compounds into Site wells and additional Site injection points. The injection program will reduce existing VOC groundwater contamination to below regulatory standards.
3. Groundwater Extraction and Treatment--This alternative provides for the removal of groundwater, treatment of groundwater VOC constituents by forcing air into the extracted groundwater, capturing the VOCs and discharging the treated water to an existing surface waterway.
The Department has chosen to implement Alternatives 1 and 2. Both comply with applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements, will reduce hazardous constituent concentrations below regulatory standards and are cost effective. These alternatives are protective of human health and the environment by eliminating the risk from further release of hazardous substances at the Site.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Crystal Snook at (717) 705-6645. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office, 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100.
The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before July 13, 2002, by mailing them to Crystal Snook at the previous address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for May 21, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Hamburg Middle School, Windsor Street, Hamburg, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., May 16, 2002, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.
If no person registers to present oral comments by May 16, 2002, the hearing will not be held, but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if the hearing will be held should also contact Sandra Roderick.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should call Sandra Roderick at the previous phone number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Bear Creek Area Chemical Site
Fairview and Parker Townships, Butler County
Perry Township, Armstrong CountyThe Department, under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site (site). This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The site includes, among other things, at least 14 areas where the Department knows or has evidence to suggest that industrial wastes were historically disposed and the surface water, groundwater, soils and sediments that have been contaminated from hazardous substances and contaminants that have migrated from the disposal areas. The individual disposal areas are located in Concord, Fairview and Parker Townships, Butler County and Perry Township, Armstrong County. A more detailed description of the location for each of the 14 individual disposal areas is located in the administrative record compiled for this response.
The following hazardous substances have been found at one or more disposal areas at the site: resorcinol, xylene, benzene, acetone, phenols, formaldehyde, chloromethane, bromomethane, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, trichloroethane, ethyl benzene, nickel, lead, chromium, copper, aluminum sulfate and arsenic.
Additionally, the following contaminants have been detected in waste and environmental media at most of the disposal areas: meta-benzene disulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid (BSA), para-phenol sulfonic acid and calcium petronate/KSS.
The Department has observed that when one or more of the previous contaminants have been detected in groundwater or surface water (such as a spring), then resorcinol and occasionally one or more of the other previously-listed hazardous substances, have been detected as well (either at a later time in the same well or spring or in samples collected from nearby wells or springs). Thus, where a release of contaminants has been confirmed but no release of resorcinol or the other previously-listed hazardous substances has yet been established, a threat of release of hazardous substances exists.
Approximately 45% of the more than 280 private residential, institutional and business water supply wells that have been sampled within the site have been found to contain resorcinol or one or more of the contaminants. Resorcinol and the contaminants have been detected in the groundwater, surface water and springs over a wide geographical area.
To date, no peer-reviewed, health or environmental agency-approved health-based advisory levels or maximum contaminant levels exist for resorcinol and the previously-mentioned site-related contaminants for water or soils. Accordingly, the risks associated with the presence of these compounds in drinking water are not known. Further, the Department can not conclude that the presence of these substances does not threaten human health and the environment. As a result, the Department has decided that a response action is appropriate to protect public health and safety. For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the site:
Alternative 1--No action with ongoing monitoring.
Alternative 2--Provide alternative, potable water to residences, institutions and businesses whose water supplies have been impacted or are at risk of being impacted by site-related hazardous substances and associated contaminants.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to three comparison criteria: 1) effectiveness; 2) implementability; and 3) cost. Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.
Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 2--the provision of potable water to residences, institutions and businesses whose water supplies have been impacted or are at risk of being impacted by site-related hazardous substances and associated contaminants. This alternative was selected because it protects, in the most cost-effective manner, the public from ingesting site-related hazardous substances.

Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. § 702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) (52 P. S. § 701-224(b)) states that whenever any working place in a mine approaches within 50 feet of abandoned workings certified by an engineer or within 200 feet of any abandoned workings which cannot be inspected or within 200 feet of any other abandoned workings, boreholes shall be drilled at least 20 feet in advance of the face of the working place. Boreholes shall be drilled sufficiently close to each other to insure that the advancing face will not accidentally hole through into the workings. Boreholes shall also be drilled not more than 8 feet apart in the rib of the working place to a distance of at least 20 feet at an angle of 45 degrees. Rib holes shall be drilled in one or both ribs of the working place as may be necessary for adequate protection of persons working in a place.
Summary of the Request: Dunkard Mining, Inc. requested a variance from section 224(b) of the act to drill a horizontal borehole to the west of the Rosedale #8 Mine to protect miners against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine.
