Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Sections 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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 and 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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality 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 below. During this comment period, a municipality may request that the person identified below, 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 a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings
Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Merck & Co., Inc. in Riverside Borough, Northumberland County, PA.
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility owned and operated by Merck & Co., Inc. in Riverside Borough, Northumberland County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The main sources for which a RACT determination is being made are four boilers. The following is a summary of the preliminary nitrogen oxides (NOx) RACT determination for these boilers:
Source NOx RACT limitation * two 92,000,000 BTU/hour
bituminous coal fired traveling grate
boilers (Boilers 3 and 5).* NOx emissions not to exceed .43
pound per million BTU of heat
input (3 hour average).* two 163,000,000 BTU/hour
bituminous coal fired traveling grate
boilers (Boilers 7 and 8).* NOx emissions not to exceed .53
pound per million BTU of
heat input (3 hour average).
The following is a summary of the preliminary volatile organic compound (VOC) RACT determination for these boilers:
* The combined VOC emissions from all four boilers shall not exceed 4.6 tons per year.
The facility incorporates additional sources for which RACT determinations will be made at a later date.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on April 29, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual, and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Section 401(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act requires the State to certify that the involved projects will not violate the applicable provisions of 33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1301--1303, 1306 and 1307, as well as relevant State requirements. Initial requests for 401 Certification will be published concurrently with the BDWW permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 or to the issuance of a Dam Safety or Encroachment Permit, or the approval of Environmental Assessments must submit any comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice as well as any questions to the Bureau or Field Office indicated as the responsible office.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Land Exchange The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Bureau of State Parks proposes to exchange approximately 6.6 acres of Ohiopyle State Park (previously a section of the abandoned Western Maryland Railroad) for 6.8 acres of adjacent land owned by the Turkeyfoot Fish and Game Association. Both properties are located in Henry Clay Township, Fayette County, across the Youghiogheny River from the borough of Confluence, Somerset County.
This exchange would consolidate property owned by the Association, and provide Ohiopyle State Park with a riverfront corridor that would enable the completion of approximately 1 mile of the Yough River Trail between Confluence and the park. This exchange also signifies completion of a missing link in this 28-mile trail between the city of Connellsville and Confluence.
A public meeting will be held on April 17, 1996, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Confluence Community Center meeting room. Representatives of the Bureau of State Parks will be available to explain details of the land exchange and to receive public comment.
To comply with Department of Conservation and Natural Resources policy on land exchange, public notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, a public meeting and a 30-day comment period is required. Written comments will be received for 30 days from the date of the public meeting.
Persons requesting additional details of the land exchange or who are offering comments may do so by writing to Roger Fickes, Director, PA Bureau of State Parks, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, P. O. Box 8551, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8551.
Persons with a disability who wish to participate in the public comment process and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation should contact Edwin Deaton at (717) 787-6674 or the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
