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 intends 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 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 as 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's 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.

AIR QUALITY 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.
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. Comments or protests filed with Department 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.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT
PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.
Thomas J. Chickey Apartment Building. The project is located in Hop Bottom Borough, Susquehanna County with a discharge to Martins Creek approximately 1/8 mile upstream from the point where the watercourse crosses under State Route 167 in the center of Hop Bottom Borough. The project consists of the construction of a small flow treatment facility to serve an existing 4 unit apartment building located at 21 North Center Street, Hop Bottom Borough, which currently has a malfunctioning onlot septic system.
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Location: Ontelaunee Township, Berks County, P. O. Box 746, Leesport, PA 19533. The approved plan provides for extension of public sewers from the existing Leesport Authority system to provide service to the northwestern section of the township and the State Route 61 corridor. Additionally, extensions of public sewer lines from the existing Maidencreek Authority system will provide sewer service to the south and southwest portions of the Township. The remainder of the Township will remain under an onlot disposal system (OLDS) management district. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Location: Mount Joy Township, Lancaster County, 159 Merts Drive, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. The approved plan provides for improvements to the Mount Joy Township Municipal Authority's conveyance system to expand capacity. Additionally, participation in an expansion of the Elizabethtown regional sewage treatment plant is authorized. Non-sewer service portions of the Township are to be addressed in greater detail in a separate planning document. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Location: West Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, 852 Village Road, P. O. Box 237, Lampeter, PA 17537. The plan was disapproved because the Township failed to address the eight deficiencies identified in the Department's February 12, 1998 letter. As indicated in the Department's letter dated January 13, 2000, failure to respond within 30 days of the date of that letter would result in the Department taking final action on the technically incomplete document. The original deficiencies are:
1. The sewage disposal needs identification and analysis is inadequate. Your needs analysis should address the entire municipality and include a field survey of any potential sewer service areas to accurately identify malfunctioning systems and system malfunction rates. Additionally, an evaluation of the age of the systems (pre or post regulation), lot size (replacement area availability), type of systems in use (septic tank, cesspool, old well, and the like), system repair type (BTG?) and history, and system type v. general soils type should be included. The information must be effectively mapped. Refer to the Department's brochure, Sewage Disposal Needs Identification, March 1996, for additional information.
2. Well test data in your plan is extremely old and must be updated. Additionally, all well samples were not tested for Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform and Nitrate-Nitrogen as required. A minimum sampling rate of 15% is appropriate for your general plan, however, higher rates are appropriate in any sewer project areas. Refer to the Department's brochure Sewage Disposal Needs Identification Guidance, March 1996 for additional information concerning sampling rates and necessary information to collect.
3. The plan does not indicate how elevated groundwater nitrate-nitrogen levels (evident in the samples taken) will impact new land development. These elevated areas should be mapped, with areas above 5 ppm clearly indicated. Review zoning, subdivision and any other applicable land use ordinances to ensure procedures are established in the Township's land development process to reflect the impact of degraded groundwater. Specifically, your plan should examine the requirements for preliminary hydrogeologic studies and the use of de-nitrification technology for new land development proposing the use of onlot sewage disposal. Additionally, the use of Component 1 (mini-modules) should be eliminated in areas of elevated nitrates or hazardous geology.
4. Since you have been implementing the public sewer alternatives in your 1990 plan, your 1998 plan's alternative analysis and selection must be updated as appropriate to reflect your current situation. It appears that several options are possible to accomplish this, depending on to what extent the Suburban Lancaster Sewer Authority (SLASA) addresses the sewer extensions proposed in your 1990 plan. For example, if the SLASA plan proposes the same sewer extensions as your 1990 plan, reproducing them in your 1998 plan is unnecessary. However, if the SLASA plan limits discussion to existing sewers and capacity issues, your 1998 plan should include the sewer extension information. Whatever option is selected, your 1998 Act 537 Plan must ''dovetail'' with the SLASA plan as it applies to public sewer service in your municipality and it must also completely address onlot sewage disposal issues in your municipality.
5. Your selection of an Onlot Disposal System (OLDS) Management Ordinance in 1990 to address system maintenance in the portions of your municipality dependent on OLDS was an excellent idea that was ahead of its time. If that portion of your plan was also implemented, please provide information about your program and its success in your resubmission. If OLDS Management has not yet been implemented, I can provide you with sample ordinances for your consideration that were obtained from other municipalities who have successfully completed their programs.
6. Your plan's implementation schedule is obviously out of date.
7. Consistency issues such as the historic preservation, rare and endangered species protection, wetlands protection and prime agricultural lands preservation have not been addressed.
8. Lancaster County Planning Commission comments are out of date, as well as, your public notice, public comment period, etc. Your resubmission must be adopted by the municipality and all submission requirements found in Chapter 71, Section 71.31 must be observed.

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 Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) 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.

Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: March 4, 2000.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification, under Section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (35 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the discharge of dredged material from the East Avenue Launch Ramp into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the 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 United States 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 450 cubic yards of basin sediments from the East Avenue Launch Ramp (Erie North, PA N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 inches) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W:10.3 inches) will have a relatively insignificant effect on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
Location: Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches).
Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a one-time certification for the above described project.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), certifies that the construction and operation herein described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of that act, and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards, provided the following requirements are met.
Final or proposed action on certain other certification requests for projects which require both a Water Obstruction and Encroachment permit and either a United States Army Corps of Engineers individual permit or a Nationwide permit 14, 18 or 26 will be published with Applications and Actions filed under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27).
Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period.
