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.
In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
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 BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times.
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 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. 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.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approvals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)
Northeast Region: Clean Water Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Sugarloaf Township P. O. Box 61 Sybertsville, PA 18251-0061 Luzerne Plan Description: The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) proposes a systematic plan to identify and propose corrective measures for portions of the Pennsylvania State University's Hazleton Campus (PSU) wastewater collection system that may be subject to excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow (I/I). The PSU CAP is to be implemented in conjunction with Sugarloaf Township's (Township) CAP for its wastewater collection system that is tributary to the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority's (GHJSA) Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Township's CAP was previously approved by the Department on March 18, 2009. Both CAP's are also intended to reduce hydraulic overloading at the GHJSA's Wastewater Treatment Facility. The PSU CAP also contains time schedules for the implementation of the activities proposed in the CAP. The CAP is now to be considered an integral part of the Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan.
Should any of the CAP's activities not yield their expected results, tasks may need to be proposed/completed by PSU and/or the Township to eliminate the potential hydraulic overload of the Township's wastewater collection system and the existing hydraulic overload of the GHJSA's Wastewater Treatment Facility. This pertains mainly to those CAP activities where results may be significantly affected by precipitation amounts, groundwater conditions, stream flow levels, etc.
Should conditions be encountered during the implementation of the CAP, which require the alteration of the approved CAP, PSU and Sugarloaf Township shall contact the Department, in writing, and discuss the need to alter the CAP at the earliest possible time. Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the CAP 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, 1988Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Currie Landfill Site Millcreek Township, Erie County Pursuant to Section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (''HSCA''), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''Department'') has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (''CO&A'') among Moxie Nein, LLC (''Moxie'') and Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, (''Township'') concerning the cleanup of the Currie Landfill Site (''Site''). The Site includes: the areas where D. Angus Currie and the Currie Company operated an unpermitted, municipal and industrial landfill from approximately 1947 to 1966 (the ''Landfill''); and the areas where hazardous substances, wastes, and other materials from the Landfill have been released or threaten to be released in Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania.
In the past, wastes and other materials containing hazardous substances were dumped, spilled or otherwise disposed at the Site and these hazardous substances contaminated the soils, sediments, surface water and groundwater beneath the Site. The Department and others have investigated the Site and have thus far has identified that: 1. Stream surface water and sediment samples taken contained trichloroethylene (''TCE''), tetrachloroethylene (''PCE''), 1,2-dichloroethene (''1,2-DCE'') and vinyl chloride; 2. Areas of the landfill contain lead and cadmium bearing hazardous wastes, as that term is defined by RCRA; 3. Groundwater sampled at the site contained vinyl chloride, TCE, and PCE; 4. A total of seven VOCs were detected in the sediment samples including: acetone, 2-butanone, total 1,2-DCE, PCE, toluene, TCE, and vinyl chloride. Based upon the groundwater investigation, the presence of 1,2-DCE, PCE, TCE, and vinyl chloride in the sediments indicated migration of these contaminants from the groundwater to the surface water and sediments of the West Branch of Cascade Creek. Each of these substances is defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103 as a ''hazardous substance''. The presence of these hazardous substances at the property constitutes a ''release'' and a ''threat of release'' of a hazardous substance, as defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103.
After acquisition of the Site property by Moxie, a portion designated as a future recreational facility will be donated to the Township. Following the Department's response, the remaining portion will be redeveloped for commercial/industrial usage. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement among the Department, Moxie and the Township. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for sixty (60) days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Moxie and the Township shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Moxie and the Township, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no such comments were received.
The Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pennsylvania. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mr. Gary Mechtly, Environmental Group Manager. Mr. Mechtly can be reached in the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, telephone: 814-332-6648.

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—6026.907).
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.

S. Section 6020.101 et. seq. (''HSCA''), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Ford City Equipment Site (Site). This response has been initiated pursuant to Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA, 35 P. S. Sections 6020.501(a) 6020.505(b). The Site is located at 2nd Avenue (Eljer Way) between 9th Street and O'Connor Street in Ford City Borough, Armstrong County.
The Site consists of mercury spilled on a vacant lot where building demolition had taken place. Liquid droplets of mercury were found on a concrete area and mercury droplets were observed in nearby fill material. The Site was once the location of the PPG Ford City glass manufacturing facility, most recently the Site was occupied by Ford City Equipment Company.
The current and/or potential threat from the Site to human health or welfare is the direct contact of the contamination to persons entering the areas where the spilled mercury and potentially contaminated soil is located, access is generally unrestricted. The current and/or potential threat that could adversely affect the environment is contamination of the soil, groundwater, and surface water from runoff and/or leaching of the spilled mercury. Sediment and surface water of the Allegheny River could be impacted as a result of runoff and/or leaching of the mercury.
The Department considered the following three alternatives to address the spilled mercury at the Site: (Alternative 1) taking no action to address contamination related to the spilled mercury; (Alternative 2) fencing and securing the area affected by the mercury spill; and (Alternative 3) cleaning up and removing the spilled mercury for recycling/disposal and excavating soil and/or other material potentially impacted by the mercury for proper disposal. Alternative 3 was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant, and appropriate requirements.
This notice is being provided under Section 506 (b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The Administrative Record which contains information forming the basis and documenting the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment until July 20, 2012. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending them or delivering them to Edward Litwin, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
In addition, persons may present oral comments for inclusion in the Administrative Record at a public hearing scheduled for May 30, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ford City Public Library located at 1136 4th Avenue, Ford City, PA 16226.

NPDES Stormwater Permit NPDES Permit Stormwater PAI012306006, Sentinel Ridge Development, LLC, 110 North Phoenixville Pike, Suite 100, Malvern, PA 19355, has applied to conduct earth disturbance activities and discharge stormwater associated with construction activities located in Marple Township, Delaware County, into Holland Run (a.k.a. Hotland Run) (EV-CWF).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has reviewed the revised permit application documentation and plans submitted by Sentinel Ridge Development, LLC and proposes, based upon its evaluation, that the NPDES permit suspension imposed by the October 22, 2009 Order of the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) in the matter of Crum Creek Neighbors v. DEP and Pulte Homes of PA, L.P., EHB Docket No. 2007-287-L, be partially lifted to allow Sentinel Ridge Development, LLC to conduct earth disturbance activities and discharge stormwater associated with construction activities to Holland Run (EV-CWF) from Phase II of its proposed development, in accordance with the terms of the NPDES permit, including supporting documentation and plans that include a Hydrologic and Water Quality Evaluation of Stormwater Impacts on Holland Run, a Hydrogeologic Evaluation Report, and other information, that examine the effect of the project on the baseflow to Holland Run, and the effect of certain modeled basin overflows, on Holland Run. Phase II is situated in the center of the site with Phase I (under construction) to the South and Phase III (planned for future development) to the North. The Best Management Practices and the Antidegradation Analysis Module for the project site, as set forth in the previously-referenced NPDES permit, along with supporting documentation and plans, are proposed to constitute the effluent limitations for Phase II of the development.
The Department proposes to authorize earth disturbance activities in, and the discharge of stormwater associated with construction activities from, the Phase II Limit of Disturbance Area that consists of 3.3 acres in the Holland Run Watershed as depicted on the Wilkinson & Associates Plans for the development dated February 1, 2012, as revised March 27, 2012. Permanent work for the Phase II area is proposed to consist of the construction of approximately 800 feet of roadway, 29 townhomes (units 26 through 54), and Detention Basin A5. Work will include temporary earth disturbance to install Swale C, staging, stockpiling in the vicinity of Building A and to install the temporary cul-de-sac. Construction phases for the project are clearly depicted on the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan Drawings, dated June 17, 2010, as revised thereafter, that were submitted by the developer and approved by the Department and the Delaware County Conservation District. These plans are available for public inspection and review at the District's offices.
Sentinel Ridge Development, LLC is not authorized by this proposed partial lifting of the NPDES permit suspension to conduct earth disturbance activities within the Phase III Limit of Disturbance Area, or to discharge stormwater associated with construction activities from the Phase III Limit of Disturbance Area. No discharge of stormwater associated with construction activities, or earth disturbance activities draining into Holland Run, are proposed to be authorized in the area currently depicted in plan drawings for high density condominium development on the northern end of the property that includes discharges to the finger tributary to Holland Run.
The Department will accept public comment for 30 days on its proposed partial lifting of the NPDES permit suspension for the Phase II area of the development as described previously. Written comments should be addressed to the Regional Manager, Waterways and Wetlands Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
