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--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 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, 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)(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 under which the notice appears.

Plan Description: This plan approval is contingent upon the Schuylkill Valley Sewer Authority (Authority) and/or its member municipalities complying with any requirements that may be imposed by the Historical and Museum Commission and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, regarding the protection of historic and archaeological resources and plant and animal species, respectively. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
The Plan calls for the construction of a new 0.550 MGD sequencing batch reactor wastewater treatment facility to serve the following areas: Villages of Brockton, Mary-D and Tuscarora located in Schuylkill Township, Boroughs of Middleport and New Philadelphia and the Villages of Kaska, Silver Creek and Cumbola located in Blythe Township. The treatment facility will be located near the Village of Cumbola and discharge treated wastewater to the Schuylkill River. The selected wastewater disposal alternative is described in the Plan as the ''One-Plant Alternative.'' Implementation of the selected alternative and operation of the proposed facilities will be performed by the Authority.
The Plan's selected wastewater disposal alternative also calls for the installation of new wastewater collection and conveyance systems in the Villages of Mary-D, Brockton, Kaska, Silver Creek and Cumbola and within the Boroughs of Middleport and New Philadelphia. The Village of Tuscarora will continue to utilize its existing sanitary wastewater collection system lines. All of these areas will discharge their wastewater to the proposed Cumbola Wastewater Treatment Facility via the proposed interceptor system. All discharge of sanitary wastewater into the existing ''wildcat'' wastewater collection systems will be discontinued upon final completion of the Plan's selected alternative. Due to this situation, the Plan proposes the construction of additional, new stormwater collection systems in the Village of Brockton and in the Boroughs of Middleport and New Philadelphia. These proposed systems will permit the routing of stormwater to appropriate surface watercourses that had previously been transported by the existing ''wildcat'' wastewater collection systems.
The Plan's selected wastewater disposal alternative also calls for all portions of the planning area that are not proposed to be served by centralized wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment systems in the Plan, to continue to use onlot wastewater disposal systems as their approved method of wastewater disposal. These areas will also be governed by the requirements of the Sewage Management Program as proposed in Appendix D of the Plan. Each of the four municipalities have also additionally enacted privy and holding tank ordinances to govern the use of these types of facilities within their municipal borders.
Financing of the proposed wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment systems is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require an NPDES Permit for the treated wastewater effluent discharge at the Authority's proposed wastewater treatment facility. The proposed project will also require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. Both of these permit applications must be submitted in the name of the Authority. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law.

Schuylkill Plan Description: The approved plan proposes a systematic plan to identify and propose corrective measures for portions of the Borough's wastewater collection system that may be subject to excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow. The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) also contains time schedules for the implementation of the activities proposed in the CAP. The CAP is now to be considered an integral part of the municipality's Official Sewage Facilities Plan.
Should conditions be encountered during the implementation of the CAP, which require the alteration of the approved CAP, the Borough of Coaldale shall contact the Department, in writing and discuss the need to alter the CAP at the earliest possible time. Additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the CAP must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

Bedford Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the construction of a gravity sanitary collection and conveyance system to serve Belden, Blattenburg/Camp Hughes, Camp Sunshine, Cara Heights, Sunnybrook/Hafer, Wolfsburg and Sunrise Terrace as the Plan defines these areas. The sewage flow will be conveyed to Municipal Authority of Bedford Borough treatment facility. The Plan provides for the construction of separate community wastewater treatment facilities for Imlertown and Yount. These facilities will discharge (respectively) to Imlertown Run and Dunning Creek. The Plan also provides for the adoption and implementation of an onlot sewage disposal system management ordinance. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

Lycoming Plan Description: The approved plan provides for dividing the study area into two districts separated by Muncy Creek. The effluent from these areas will be collected and conveyed to Muncy Borough and Hughesville-Wolf Township Sewage Treatment Plants. Approximately 387 EDUs on the west side and 309 EDUs on the east side of the creek will be provided with new gravity and where needed, pressure sewer collection. Muncy Borough, Hughesville Borough and Wolf Township have all coadopted this plan and will accept these new flows. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
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) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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. 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
