CNG's Ardell and Benezette facilities are located in Benezette Township, Elk County. CNG's representative to contact concerning these applications is Sam Mathew, Engineer, 445 West Main Street, P. O. Box 2450, Clarksburg, WV 26302-2450, (304) 623-8929.
CNG's Ardell and Benezette stations are used for the transmission of natural gas along its pipeline. The air emission sources at the stations include compressor engines and turbines and smaller miscellaneous sources. The facilities are major stationary sources as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments due to their potential to emit of Nitrogen Oxides. The facilities are therefore subject to the Title V Operating Permit requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Copies of the applications, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the applications are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Any person wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of these permits may submit the information to the Department at the address shown above. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the following information:

Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.424 and 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation for the Downington Compressor facility. The Downingtown Compressor Station is located at 1470 Poorhouse Road, in West Bradford Township, Chester County.
The Downingtown facility is primarily used for compressing natural gas. As a result of the potential levels of NOx and VOCs emitted, Downingtown Compressor Station is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments.

The proposed Title V Operating Permit does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. It incorporates all of the applicable air quality requirements for each source at the existing plant into a single permit as required under Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Upon final approval, the permit will be issued for a period of 5 years.
An appointment to review the permit application and the draft Title V Operating Permit at the Department's Southeast Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting the Record's Management staff, at (610) 832-6000 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays.

Permit ID No. 101652. West Lebanon Site, Pitt Mining Company, R. D. No. 3, Box 95B, Shelocta, PA 15774. Operation of a municipal waste (sewage sludge) processing facility in Young Township, Indiana County. Permit issued by the Regional Office on April 18, 1997.
Override Justification
West Lebanon SiteThis permit is issued overriding the objections of the Indiana County Commissioners as stated in their July 24, 1996 letter to the Department along with the objections of local residents expressed in the August 14, 1996 public hearing.
Concerns regarding the potential contamination of groundwater and surface water supplies were taken into consideration during the application review process. All waste processing activities will be conducted under roof and on a concrete pad. As requested by the Indiana County Water Authority, the permittee contracted with an independent consultant to conduct an hydrogeologic study of land application of the processed material to the demonstration plots. The study concluded that land application of the finished processed material will have no detrimental affect on the groundwater and surface water in the area.
The traffic analysis was forwarded to the Department of Transportation for their review and comment. Their review indicated a condition exists at the intersection of Township Road 692 and S. R. 156 which requires corrective action. To address this concern the permittee is required to pave a portion of Township Road 692 at that intersection.
Monitoring concerns were addressed by requiring chemical analyses monitoring of both the incoming sewage sludge and the finished processed material. Acceptance criteria were established and records must be maintained to verify the quality of the material.
Air quality concerns were addressed by requiring an air quality plan approval prior to operation of the facility and dustfall monitoring during operation.
Financial liability was addressed by requiring the permittee to post a $62,771 closure/post closure bond.
Other issues raised have been mitigated or are outside of the purview of regulatory authority.
The Department has determined that the technical issues were adequately addressed by the addendum submission, revisions, justification material and/or permit conditions. All submitted material has been available to the host municipality and county.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Modification to Consent Order and Agreement
Millcreek Dump Site
Millcreek Township, Erie CountyUnder section 122 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622, and section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has modified its Consent Order and Agreement with Millcreek Township (Township), dated April 6, 1995, concerning the Millcreek Dump Site (Site) in Erie County, PA.
From approximately 1970 until 1981, waste containing hazardous substances was disposed at the 84.5 acre Site. On April 6, 1995, the Department entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with the Township whereby the Township, among other things, paid $1,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, and it granted the Department and the EPA access to the 4 acre parcel that the Township owns at the Site. The Parties now propose to modify the April 6, 1995 Consent Order and Agreement to include the Township's future ownership of the 64.7 acre property that lies adjacent to and south of the Site that is currently owned by Conrail (Conrail Property).
The Remedial action at the Site includes the construction of a cap over the landfill at the Site and construction of a flood retention basin. To facilitate this Remedial action, a portion of the cap and the basin must be constructed on the adjacent Conrail Property. Conrail intends to donate the Conrail Property to the Township for public use, including for any construction necessary to complete the Remedial action at the Site. The Township is willing to take ownership of the Conrail Property and is willing to grant permanent easements on the Conrail Property to facilitate the completion of the Remedial action at the Site.
The specifics concerning the Township's future ownership of the Conrail Property are set forth in the Department's Consent Order and Agreement with the Township, dated April 25, 1997. The Department will receive and consider comments on the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this Consent Order and Agreement is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement shall become final, and it shall replace the April 6, 1995 Consent Order and Agreement, upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments concerning the Township's future ownership of the Conrail Property.
Copies of the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
