Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The 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 general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the application, the Department's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Persons wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the Department's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 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. 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 under 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Air Quality Plan Approvals Philadelphia: Air Management Services, 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4543, Contact: Edward Wiener, Chief, Source Registration at 215-685-9426.
Air Management Services (AMS) issued modifications to the approved Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan approvals for the following facilities in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County:
PES Refinery, formerly Sunoco Refinery (3144 Passy-unk Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19145) to update a Responsible Official. Change the 433 H-1 Heater capacity from 243 MMBTUs/hr to 260 MMBTUs/hr. Add 864 Heater PH1, which was mistakenly deleted in the last RACT plan approval. Delete some shut down heaters. Add a requirement to vent the 1232 FCCU to the CO Boiler when operating as a partial-burn unit and a requirement to follow good combustion practices. Delete a quarterly leak detection and repair requirement, as fugitives are covered by 25 Pa. Code § 129.58. Made a control requirement for Girard Point Marine Loading only applicable to materials with a Reid Vapor Pressure of 4 psi or greater. Remove the Marine Vapor Collection and Control System requirement for Point Breeze Marine Loading and limit the process to loading materials with a RVP of less than 4 psi and an annual VOC emission limit of 25.99 tons. Reduced a 433 Heater H-1 NOx emission limit from 0.060 lbs/MMBTU to 0.035 lbs/MMBTU. Reduced an 859 Heater 1H-1 NOx emission limit form 0.035 lbs/MMBTU to 0.020 lbs/MMBTU. These revisions will reduce potential NOx and VOC emissions from the facility.
Exelon Generation Company—Richmond Station (3901 North Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19137) to correct an annual capacity factor limit form 18% to 15% for two combustions turbines. To remove a requirement to limit the sulfur content of No. 2 oil to 15 ppm beginning July 15, 2015 and an associated recordkeeping requirement. The facility will comply with the provisions of Air Management Code Section 3-207, which has a similar limit but allows use of existing fuel oil for a period of time. These revisions will reduce potential NOx emissions from the facility.
Veolia Energy—Schuylkill Station, formerly Trigen—Schuylkill (2600 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146) to change the wording on the NOx emission limits for Boiler #23 and Boiler #26 to clarify that the boilers must comply with each limit and the averaging period for some limits. These revisions will not change potential emissions for the facility.
Kinder Morgan, previously GATX (3300 North Delaware Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134) to delete a quarterly leak detection and repair requirement, as fugitives are covered by Air Management Regulation V, Section XIII(1). Remove gasoline and crude oil limits for marine loading, as the process cannot load these materials at all due to a limit on the Reid Vapor Pressure of materials loaded. Change the initial test date for marine vapor loading to a date that is within 5 years of the previous stack test. These revisions will not change potential emissions for the facility.
Plains Products Terminals LLC (3400 South 67th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19153) to combine the RACT plan approvals for the previous Maritank and ExxonMobil facilities into one facility. Remove shut down processes. Add a 6.6 tons per rolling 12-mont period VOC limit for marine loading. Remove a vapor recovery requirement for truck loading at the vapor recovery tanks due to a change to low vapor pressure materials and very low overall potential emissions. These revisions will reduce the potential VOC emissions from the facility.
Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (5001 South Broad Street, Code 02, Philadelphia, PA 19112-1403 to add a 0.38 lbs/MMBTU NOx emission limit for Boiler DDG-15 and add a stack test program. Require new test engines and turbines to comply with the Standard Navy Plan Maintenance Program. These revisions will reduce the potential NOx emissions from the facility.
AMS issued a RACT plan approval for the following facility in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County:
Philadelphia Prison System (8001 State Road, Philadelphia, PA 19136) for a 365 HP gas-fired chiller with Non-Selective Catalytic Reduction. Nox emissions form the chiller are limited to 2.0 gs/bhp-hr. The chiller must have a stack test every 5 years and records must be kept for all tests.
Proposed State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the Line 138 Service Abandonment and
Lateral Construction ProjectSouthwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Rita A. Coleman, 412-442-4000
WQ05-011, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Applicant), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E. Charleston, WV 25314. Line 138 Service Abandonment and Lateral Construction Project (Project), in Springhill, Henry Clay and Wharton Townships, Fayette County and Addison and Elk Lick Townships, Somerset County, ACOE Pittsburgh District. The proposed project starts approximately 2.25 miles southeast of the intersection of State Route 857 and Gans Road in Springhill Township, Fayette County (Lake Lynn, PA, WV Quadrangle N: 39°, 43`, 16"; W: -79°, 45`, 49") and ends approximately 0.7 mile southwest of the intersection of State Route 669 and Ash Hill Road in Elk Lick Township, Somerset County (Grantsville, MD, PA Quadrangle N: 39°, 43`, 22"; W: -79°, 10`, 18")
On May 20, 2015, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. § 717f) seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Project (FERC Docket No. CP15-495-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on 9/17/15, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP15-495-000).
On August 14, 2015, Applicant requested a state water quality certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Project, as proposed would operate and maintain some segments of the existing, approximately 33-mile, Line 138 natural gas pipeline, consisting of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 16-inch pipeline, within an existing 50-foot right-of-way, where service is being abandoned. Columbia proposes to remove approximately 0.18 mile of exposed pipeline, two (2) residential tap consumers, two (2 ) meter stations, one (1) odorizer, one (1) siphon, five (5) ground valves and eight (8) mainline valves. Columbia plans to grout 28 road crossings to abandon in place.
Columbia also proposes to construct an approximate 0.65-mile, 2-inch lateral extension within the existing 50-foot wide Line 138 right-of-way (ROW) in order to maintain service to the Firm Transportation customer and their operations. The Firm Transportation customer is served from Line 138 through which service will be abandoned, Columbia proposes to maintain gas service to this customer by installing a lateral extension within the Line 138 ROW to connect with Lines 1804 and 10240. The lateral extension project will involve construction activities within the existing 50-foot wide ROW, acquisition of 50 feet of new ROW to connect the lateral to the Line 1804 and 10240 ROW, two (2) new isolation valves on Lines 1804 and 10240, and a contractor/staging yard all located in Somerset County Pennsylvania. The proposed lateral extension activities are herein referred to as the ''Lateral Construction Project''.
In Pennsylvania, the Project, as proposed, will require impacts to 0.3416 acre of Laurel Run (HQ-CWF), Reason Run (WWF), Collier Run (WWF) and Zehner Run (HQ-CWF), and unnamed tributaries of Patterson Run (HQ-CWF), Big Sandy Creek (HQ-CWF), Youghiogheny River (WWF), Chub Run (WWF), Mill Run (WWF), Zehner Run (HQ-CWF), Big Shade Run (CWF), 5.05 acres of floodway, 0.8664 acre of temporary PEM wetland impacts, and 0.0292 acre of PEM and PSS permanent impacts.
