Consent Order and Agreement
Avtex Fibers, Inc. Site
Vernon Township, Crawford CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby given that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement dated April 2, 1996, with the Meadville Redevelopment Authority (MRA) concerning the Avtex Fibers, Inc. Site (site). The site encompasses approximately 170 acres in Vernon Township. At various times from the 1920s through the mid-1980s, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed throughout the site. Site response actions have been conducted, either by the Department or with the Department's approval, to protect the public health, public welfare and the environment.
The MRA operated a portion of the site when there was a release of hazardous substances into the environment. Based on information available to the Department, the Department has determined that MRA's contribution of hazardous substances to the site were minimal compared to the nature, volume and extent of hazardous substances attributable to other known responsible persons. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to settle any claims it may have against MRA in consideration of MRA's performance of future Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities to be implemented at the site. The O&M activities which the MRA will perform include maintenance of the substation encapsulation area, flyash landfill, waste disposal cell, soil cover areas, asphalt cover areas, riprap area and regraded area along French Creek, riprap areas at the north and south outfall, perimeter fence and site monitoring wells.
The specifics of the Department's settlement with MRA are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlement with MRA if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlement with MRA shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant comments that it receives during the 60-day public comment period.
Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for review at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.

General Permit WMGR025: Aerobic composting of agricultural waste, food processing waste, food processing sludge, raw vegetables and raw fruits, uncontaminated and untreated wood waste, source-separated newsprint, source-separated corrugated paper, yard waste and the beneficial use of the produced compost.
The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, authorizes by General Permit WMGR025, aerobic composting of agricultural waste, manure, food processing waste, food processing sludge, raw vegetables and raw fruits from food markets, grocery stores, food banks, and food distribution centers, uncontaminated and untreated wood waste, source-separated newsprint, source-separated corrugated paper, yard waste, and the beneficial use of the produced compost through marketing and distribution as soil substitute, soil conditioner, soil amendment, fertilizer, or mulch. This is a Statewide general permit.
Under the terms and conditions of the general permit, persons who are approved to compost waste and market or distribute the compost for beneficial use will be required to meet, at a minimum, the following: compliance with The Clean Streams Law, compliance with the Solid Waste Management Act, conformance with compost quality standards, conformance with minimum isolation distances, maintenance of operating records, and submission of an annual summary report to the Department.
The Department is authorized under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), and section 287.611 of the residual waste management regulations to issue general permits for any category of beneficial use or processing that results in beneficial use of the residual waste on a regional or Statewide basis when the Department determines that such use does not harm or present a threat of harm to the health, safety or welfare of the public or the environment and the activity can be adequately regulated using standard conditions. The Department has determined the following: compost from wastes processed under this general permit can be used as soil substitute, soil amendment, soil conditioner, fertilizer or mulch; organic waste processed under this general permit is a category of residual waste which is substantially similar in physical and chemical characteristics; the compost can be used for the same or similar beneficial uses, and the processing and beneficial use can be adequately regulated using standard conditions.
The Department's interpretation of the term ''normal farming operation'' allows farmers to compost agricultural waste and source-separated recyclables (e.g. newspaper) in normal farming operations without a permit, regardless of whether the compost is used on farms or marketed for off-site use. If the farmer who operates a normal farming operation proposes to take wastes other than agricultural waste for purposes of composting, he will need to apply for a Determination of Applicability under this general permit, as indicated below.
Persons requesting approval to operate under the terms and conditions of the general permit will be required to obtain a ''Determination of Applicability'' from the Regional Office of the Department which has jurisdiction for waste related activities in the county where the proposed composting facility will be located. The following minimum information will be required in order to obtain the Determination of Applicability:
(a) Name and address of applicant
(b) Name, location and type of waste received for composting from a waste generator
(c) Number and title of general permit
(d) Proof that proposed composting activities are consistent with the general permit
(e) A signed statement accepting all conditions of the general permit
(f) Proof of municipal notification
(g) Proof of identification of interests
(h) Compliance history information
(i) An application fee in the amount of $200
(j) A financial bond guaranteeing operation of the entire facility if larger than 5 acres

O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.

Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Mon-View Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Ming Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, 52 P. S. §§ 701--702, provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 268(b) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Clearances and Shelter Holes, requires that shelter holes be provided on the clearance side along designated travelingways that are also used as haulage entries, other than belt conveyor haulage entries. Such shelter holes shall be spaced not more than 80 feet apart.
Summary of the request: Mon-View Mining Company's plan calls for a 165 foot maximum distance between shelter holes along track haulage roads in panel development sections of the Mathies Mine. The variance would apply only to panels developed for retreat mining utilizing Mobile Roof Support (MRS) methods. The cross-cuts, which are proposed to be used as shelter holes, are projected on 150 foot centers in these sections to maxi-mize the safety and efficiency features of the MRS. All coal haulage from these sections will be done by conveyor belt. All track haulage covered by the variance will be battery powered. Track haulage will provide for the transportation of personnel, supplies and equipment.
