LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 1
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, 303, 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 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 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 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 a 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. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's 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 to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

City of Pottsville, Norwegian Township, North Manheim Township, Borough of Palo Alto, Schuylkill County
The Department has received the following submissions, as submitted by Camp, Dresser & McKee, Inc., the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority (Authority), the City of Pottsville and Norwegian Township:
1. Correspondence, dated August 10, 1998, from Camp, Dresser & McKee, transmitting the following items to the Department:
(a) Final, revised corrective plan and schedule (CP&S) documents for the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities (Updated April 22, 1998).
(b) Proof of newspaper publication (Published on May 1, 1998) advertising proposed adoption of CP&S Documents for the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities.
(c) Solicitation letters to, and response letters from the Schuylkill County Planning Commission, City of Pottsville Planning Commission, Port Carbon Borough Planning Commission, Norwegian Township Planning Commission and North Manheim Township Planning Commission.
2. Correspondence, dated September 24, 1998, from Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority transmitting the following items to the Department:
(a) Resolutions of adoption from the City of Pottsville and Norwegian Township for the CP&S documents mentioned in Item 1.a. above.
All of the previously-referenced submissions are required to effectively revise the Authority's existing CP&S documents for its Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The existing CP&S documents, last approved by the Department on March 13, 1997, will be replaced by the revised CP&S documents as listed in this correspondence, for both the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The revised CP&S documents set forth systematic plans to reduce and eliminate the hydraulic and organic overload conditions which currently exist in the Authority's wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment facilities. The CP&S documents also contain time schedules for the implementation of the activities listed in each CP&S.
After receiving the submissions listed earlier in this correspondence, developing circumstances in the Greater Pottsville Area, concerning the Authority and its Main Wastewater Treatment Facility, warranted the need for the Department to prepare a consent order and agreement (CO&A). The CO&A was structured using the CP&S document, prepared by the Authority for the Main Wastewater Treatment Facility and its service area, as its basis. As a result, the items previously outlined in the Main Wastewater Treatment Facility's CP&S are now part of the CO&A between the Department and the Authority. The CO&A was formally executed by the Department on February 8, 1999.
This correspondence acknowledges the Department's position that the Main Wastewater Treatment Facility's CP&S has already been accepted by the Department as the Authority's Corrective Plan as required by 25 Pa. Code § 94.21(a)(3). This was accomplished through the execution of the CO&A document by all parties. For purposes of sewage facilities planning under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (Act 537), this correspondence also grants planning approval for both the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities' CP&S documents. These documents are now to be considered an integral part of the municipalities' Official Sewage Facilities Plan.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold the municipalities and the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the activities listed in the CP&S documents previously described. Noncompliance with any of the provisions of the approved CP&S documents may result in Departmental action against the municipality and/or the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority.
Please be advised that any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside those explicitly described in the CP&S documents must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
Rice Township, Luzerne County The Department has reviewed the Prospect Road Area Act 537 Special Study (Special Study), dated June 1996, and revised November 1998 (received by the Department on December 11, 1998), as submitted by Milnes Engineering Inc. on behalf of Rice Township.
The Department's review has found that the Special Study is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
The wastewater disposal alternative to be implemented proposes the construction of both gravity and low-pressure sewer extensions from the existing Mountaintop Area Joint Sanitary Authority's (MAJSA) 4" force main/gravity sewer line which traverses the Prospect Road study area. A gravity sewer line will be constructed from existing MAJSA Manhole No. 28 eastward to serve a total of four properties located on the north side of Prospect Road. The line will be sized, however, to accommodate wastewater flows which may result from the future eastward extension of the line along the remaining length of Prospect Road.
The selected alternative also proposes the installation of two low-pressure sewer extensions from the existing MAJSA force main and extending south across Prospect Road. The low-pressure sewer extensions would provide access to the MAJSA wastewater collection/conveyance system for four properties located on the southern side of Prospect Road. Currently, these properties are not connected to the MAJSA system.
In accordance with the Special Study, the Township shall require property owners within the Prospect Road Special Study Area whose onlot wastewater disposal system has malfunctioned to connect to the proposed wastewater collection system as per the Rice Township mandatory sewer connection ordinance No. 77-4 (Adopted January 7, 1997) after the collection systems are constructed. In accordance with the Special Study, the Township shall require all other property owners accessible to the proposed wastewater collection system and not currently experiencing an onlot wastewater disposal system malfunction to connect to the system when one or more of the following conditions occur:
1. Upon the expiration of a 10-year period from the date of approval of the Prospect Road Area Special Study by the Department (by March 24, 2009).
2. Upon Rice Township's or the Department's determination that an onlot wastewater disposal system serving a particular property has malfunctioned.
3. Upon a change in the ownership of a particular property.
To determine the malfunction status on those onlot wastewater disposal systems still in use within the Prospect Road Special Study Planning Area, Rice Township's Sewage Enforcement Officer will inspect each system on an annual basis until all the properties are eventually connected to the proposed sewer system. A representative of the Department may participate in the Sewage Enforcement Officer's inspections at its discretion.
To ensure that connections to the proposed wastewater collection system are made in accordance with Condition No. 3 above, Rice Township proposes to place a restricted covenant in the property deeds of those properties listed in Appendix 3 of the Special Study. The covenant shall ensure that both current and future, prospective owners of the indicated properties are aware that a connection to the proposed wastewater collection system must be constructed upon a change in ownership of the indicated properties.
The proposed covenant does not adequately inform owners and prospective purchasers of existing homes that the Township will be requiring them to connect to the centralized wastewater collection system in accordance with the approved Special Study. Inclusion of the notice/restriction on a deed furthers the public policy of insuring that the affected residents and prospective purchasers are aware of the financial expenditures associated with connecting to the centralized wastewater collection system. The final version of the deed covenant should contain additional, specific language which indicates the requirement to connect the properties to the system upon any future change in ownership of the properties previously mentioned. The covenant should also contain a ''sunset'' provision which indicates that the deed covenant becomes null and void after the 10-year mandatory connection period lapses on March 24, 2009. Regardless of the language of the deed restriction, Rice Township is obligated to implement its approval Special Study.
After March 24, 2009 all properties, with the exception of the Kanaske, Davis and Wolfe properties, within the current study area must be connected to the proposed wastewater collection system regardless of each property's onlot system operational status. Financing of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will be provided by the MAJSA. MAJSA will also construct and operate the proposed system.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold Rice Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Special Study's selected alternative, as listed in the Schedule of Implementation, contained in the Special Study.
Please be advised that any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Special Study and this correspondence must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

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 Remediation 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.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
