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--304 and 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 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, or 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)(l)(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 as 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 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.

AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) hereby announces the availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA). Under the Brownfields Inventory Grant program the Department will provide grants to municipalities and economic development agencies to inventory the brownfield properties in their areas. If these brownfield properties are available for redevelopment, the Grantee will gather information about infrastructure, suspected or confirmed environmental contamination and other related information. The Grantee will then list the site on the Pennsylvania Brownfields Directory.
This is the third round of grants under the Department Brownfields Inventory Grant program. Under this third round of grants the Department will consider grants to inventory brownfields sites in any county that was not covered by a grant under the first or second rounds. The following counties were not addressed under the first two rounds of grants and will be considered under this third round: Armstrong, Bradford, Carbon, Centre, Clarion, Clinton, Delaware, Elk, Fayette, Forest, Franklin, Juniata, Lycoming, Mifflin, Monroe, Montour, Northumberland, Pike, Snyder, Sullivan, Tioga, Union, Venango, Warren, Wayne and Wyoming.
Municipalities and economic development agencies may apply to the Department for these grants by submitting an application. A copy of the application package can be obtained by calling the Department Land Recycling and Cleanup Program (717) 783-7816 or the application package can be downloaded from the Department Internet web site at: www.dep.state.pa.us. Grant applications for this round of grants must be received by the Department on or before June 30, 2000.
If the grant is approved, the Grantee will be paid $1,000 for each brownfield site that is identified and entered into the Department Brownfields Directory. Grants are limited to $50,000.
The Brownfields Inventory Grants will be issued under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304). The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act authorizes the Department to investigate and assess potential releases of hazardous substances. This includes collecting information concerning sites that are potentially contaminated with hazardous substances and that may need assessment or cleanup. Funds for the Brownfields Inventory Grants will be provided out of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund.
