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, 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 after 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Issuance of an operating permit is contingent upon satisfactory compliance with Conditions 1--54, upon the source being constructed and operated as stated on the application and upon the satisfactory demonstration that the emissions from the source will not be in violation of applicable rules and regulations of the Department.
56. Information required to be submitted as part of the conditions should be submitted to Devendra Verma, New Source Review Chief, Air Quality, 230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335.
The Department has determined that the application reflects the use of Best Available Control Technology, as required by the PSD regulations.
The facility will trigger PSD for CO pollutant only. One year of site-specific surface meteorological data was used in the model. Data was collected at two levels, 30 meters and 70 meters, from August 1, 1988, through July 31, 1989. The data collected at 30 meters was used in this analysis because it more closely represents the release heights of United's sources. The 30-meter data included temperature, wind direction, wind speed and sigma-theta. Stability class was calculated from the sigma-theta data. Mixing heights were derived from upper air data collected at Pittsburgh International Airport, located approximately 175 kilometers southwest of United.
The preliminary analysis predicts the maximum CO impacts to be below the Class II area significance levels. This is sufficient to demonstrate that the proposed modification will not cause or contribute to a violation of the CO NAAQS. A ''full'' impact NAAQS demonstration is therefore not necessary. There is no increment standard for CO. The results of the CO preliminary analysis are presented in the following table.
Preliminary Analysis Results for CO Pollutant Averaging Period Highest Modeled Impact Class II Area Significance Level µg/m3 µg/m3 CO 1 hour 804.7 2,000 8 hour 352.6 500 No visibility impairment analysis was performed since CO is not associated with degradation in visibility. No significant impact on soils and vegetation is anticipated. There is no expected impact on air quality from residential, commercial and industrial growth associated with the project.
A Class I Area impact analysis was not necessary since the nearest Federal Class I Area is over 300 km away and beyond the generally accepted range of CALPUFF, the recommended long-range transport model.
The Department has made a preliminary determination to approve the plans submitted by United Refining Company subject to the conditions listed. A final determination will be made based on additional inputs received.
The Department will consider written comments received within 30 days of the publication of this notice. Persons may oppose this preliminary determination by filing a written notice with the Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, Attn.: Devendra Verma.
Each protest shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person filing each protest; identification of the proposed plan approval issuance being opposed; and a concise statement of the reasons for objection to the issuance of the plan approval and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
Copies of the application and the modeling analysis used in the evaluation are available for public inspection between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Appointments for scheduling a review may be made by calling Linda Conway, (814) 332-6340.
If sufficient public interest is generated, the Department, prior to the issuance of the plan approvals may in its discretion, hold a public meeting or fact-finding conference, at which time persons may appear and give testimony. If it is decided to hold a public hearing, a notice to this effect shall be published in the local newspaper giving the place and time of a hearing.
For any additional information, contact Devendra Verma or Larry Wonders at (814) 332-6940 or write to the Department at the Meadville address previously given.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact the Department or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
If a plan approval has not undergone the public notice process, the change to an operating permit must be treated as a significant modification. In these situations the Department should follow the procedures described in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.421--127.431 for State-only operating permits or 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.521--127.524 for Title V operating permits.

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).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, Administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) 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 Act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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. 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 refuse 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the Act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. 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 Regional Office after 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Certified Emission Reduction Credits (ERC) in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry ERCs are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of NOx, VOCs and the following criteria pollutants: CO, Pb, SOx, PM, PM10 and PM10 precursors.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC registry applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:
(1) To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements.
(2) To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities.
(3) To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.
The certified ERCs, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or the EPA.
For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.

This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida, (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: DLR Mining, Inc. Ridge Mine requested a variance from section 224(b) of the act to utilize horizontal longhole drilling to meet the requirements of the act at the Ridge Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224(b) of the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The long horizontal borehole method proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224 of the act is a proven technology that has been used successfully at other underground mines in this Commonwealth.
2. The long horizontal borehole method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides much less exposure to lifting and strain type injuries, by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes, rather than mining the outside entry 8 feet at a time.
3. DLR Mining, Inc.'s proposed long horizontal borehole method provides a larger barrier for the protection of miners from contacting the abandoned mine over the requirements of section 224(b) of the act.
4. The long horizontal boreholes will provide a quicker method to close the borehole in the event of contacting the abandoned mine by closing the valve located at the end of the pipe grouted in the rib and will be more suitable for grouting, if needed.
5. The long horizontal borehole will provide a much larger area of coverage for protecting the workers against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine.
This approval is limited to the alternate method to drill test holes as required in section 224(b) of the act. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Ridge Mine's plan.
Persons aggrieved by an 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, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
