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 before 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.

The applicant proposes to construct and maintain seven low-profile groin structures, at elevation below (lakeward of) the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), on the following properties: Gary T. Brotherson properties (Tax ID Numbers 33-6-19-117, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 1; Tax ID 33-6-19-116, designated as Lot 4, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 2; Tax ID 33-6-19-110, designated as Lot 9, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 3; Tax ID 33-6-19-107, designated as Lot 13, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 4; Tax ID 33-6-19-114, designated as Lot 20, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 5), located at the Forest Park Beach Subdivision in Millcreek Township; Janet Haggerty property (Tax ID Number 33-6-19-97.01, designated as Lot 23, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 6), located at the Forest Park Beach Subdivision in Millcreek Township; and, John Gerbracht property (Tax ID Number 33-6-19 designated as Lot 27, identified as the location of Proposed Groin 7), located at the Forest Park Beach Subdivision in Millcreek Township. The groins would be constructed of 2 foot by 2 foot by 6 foot (2` by 2` by 6`) concrete blocks, pinned to the shale bedrock.
In addition, the applicant proposes to construct and place eight concrete ramps, 12 feet by 18 feet (12` by 18`) each, on the east and west sides of the landward ends of Proposed Groins 1--4, located partially or entirely lakeward of the OHWM. Ramps are proposed to be constructed on properties owned by Gary T. Brotherson (Tax ID Numbers 33-7-19-144.19 and 33-6-19-117 for ramps associated with Proposed Groin 1; Lot 3--5, for ramps associated with Proposed Groin 2; Lot 8 and Lot 9, for ramps associated with Proposed Groin 3; and, Lot 12 and 13, for ramps associated with Proposed Groin 4).
The applicant further proposes the construction and placement of a concrete seawall, the portion of which is located lakeward of the OHWM, to be attached to the landward end of Proposed Groins 1--4, and the 12` by 18` concrete ramps. The portion of this seawall located lakeward of the OHWM, would extend a lateral distance along the Lake Erie shoreline of 205 feet, from an area near Proposed Groin 2 on the east side, westerly past Proposed Groin 3, and terminate at a location west of Proposed Groin 4. A proposed concrete stairway is also located on the Proposed Groin 4/seawall/ramp interface. The portion of the seawall located lakeward of the OHWM will intersect with property owned by Gary T. Brotherson (Lot 5) on the east, westward onto property owned by Angelo Arduini (Tax ID Number 33-6-19-113, designated as Lot 6 and Lot 7) and then further west across properties owned by Gary T. Brotherson (Lot 8--13).
The applicant also proposes to construct a portion of three foundation structures, lakeward of the OHWM, on Lots designated as Lot 8--13. This construction will include the placement of 2,250 square feet of fill in this area, which is approximately 830 cubic yards of clean fill, landward of the proposed seawall, but lakeward of the OHWM, for a lateral distance along the Lake Erie shoreline of 205 feet.
Proposed Groin 1 would extend into Lake Erie a distance not to exceed 45 feet from the OHWM, to the Ordinary Low Water Mark (OLWM), but not lakeward of that elevation. A portion of the west ramp at Proposed Groin 1 would also be located lakeward of the OHWM a distance of 2 feet. Proposed Groin 2 would extend into Lake Erie a distance not to exceed 37 feet from the OHWM, to the OLWM, but not lakeward of that elevation. A portion of the east and west ramps at Proposed Groin 2 would also be located lakeward of the OHWM a distance of 4 feet and 12 feet, respectively. Proposed Groin 3 would extend 55 feet from the OHWM, to the OLWM, but not lakeward of that elevation. Both east and west ramps at Proposed Groin 3 would be located lakeward of the OHWM. Proposed Groin 4 would extend 64 feet from the OHWM, to the OLWM, but not lakeward of that elevation. Both east and west ramps would be located lakeward of the OHWM. The total area of disturbance in this area, between Proposed Groin 1 to Proposed Groin 4, lakeward of the OHWM, including the placement of groins, ramps, steps, fill, and foundations, would be 4,970 square feet.
Proposed Groin 5 would extend lakeward 57 feet from the OHWM, to an elevation landward of the OLWM. Proposed Groin 6 would extend lakeward 32 feet from the OHWM, to an elevation landward of the OLWM. Proposed Groin 7 would extend lakeward 14 feet, 6 inches from the OHWM, to an elevation landward of the OLWM. The total area of disturbance in this area, between Proposed Groin 5 to Proposed Groin 7, would be 770 square feet. All groins are proposed to be no higher than 18 inches above the Lake Erie nearshore bottom profile.
The project also involves to remove the existing bridge, and to construct and maintain a bridge over Marshall Run with a clear span of 20 feet and an underclearance of approximately 5.8 feet and to construct and maintain a retaining wall with fill with the floodway of Marshall Run, and to construct and maintain utility line crossings of Marshall Run. Marshall Run is a perennial stream classified as a CWF and MF.

The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (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, shall 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 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

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), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of 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 before 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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting
For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for Craig Run Watershed in
Armstrong and Indiana CountiesGreensburg District Mining Office: Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on May 28, 2008, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Greensburg District Office in Greensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Craig Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 46415 Craig Run 1.0 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion
value (mg/l)Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals, sediment and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected throughout 2005 and 2006.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Scott Bradley at (724) 925-5519 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601. E-mail will be received at scbradley@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The proposed TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by June 26, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. Friday, May 23rd. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

Request for Comments and
Notice of Public Meeting for the
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs) Developed for the Harbridge
Run WatershedThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on May 28, 2008, at 11 a.m., at Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Harbridge Run Watershed in Westmoreland County. In accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act, stream segments in Harbridge Run have been identified as impaired due to siltation from abandoned mining activities.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings for sediment in Harbridge Run in order for the stream to meet water quality standards. The TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and sediment at specified points in the watersheds. All of the allocations made in these TMDLs are load allocations made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Tom Kovalchuk, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA, at (724) 925-5520 or tkovalchuk@state.pa.us.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than 60 days from the date of this bulletin notice. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
