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 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.

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.
Notice is hereby given that 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 the 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 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.

Section 224 states that whenever any working place approaches within 200 feet of any workings of an adjacent mine, boreholes shall be drilled at least 20 feet in advance of the face of the working place and sufficiently close to each other to insure that the advancing face will not accidentally hole through into the workings. Boreholes shall also be drilled not more than 8 feet apart in the rib of the working place to a distance of at least 20 feet and at an angle of 45°. The rib holes shall be drilled in one or both ribs of such working place as may be necessary for adequate protection of persons working in the place.
Summary of the request: Mon View Mining Company requests a variance to drill a 3.5 inch diameter exploratory borehole 20 feet inby the planned ribline for the No. 9 entry of the 1 North submains. This borehole will be drilled 200 feet inby the extent of the projected mining. The exploratory borehole will be drilled to ensure that the projected mining will not encounter uncharted workings of the Buffalo Mine.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notice of Settlement under CERCLA and HSCA
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675) has entered into a settlement regarding past and future response costs related to the Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site. The settlement is embodied in a Consent Decree between the Department and Somerset Strippers of Virginia, Inc., Buckley & Company, Inc., Robert R. Buckley, Sr. and Joseph M. Martosella, Sr. (collectively Defendants). The Consent Decree has been lodged with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site is located in Newlin and West Bradford Townships, Chester County, PA. The Site encompasses approximately 300 acres and includes the groundwater, soil and other media affected by the release of hazardous substances from the Strasburg Landfill. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the site on the National Priorities List on March 31, 1989. Thereafter, the EPA conducted a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at the site wherein it determined that hazardous substances and contaminants, including but not limited to VOCs, benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, arsenic and chromium, had been released into the environment at the site. The EPA designated four Operable Units at the site, and has selected remedial responses for three of the four Operable Units. The EPA has implemented remedial actions at the Site relating to leachate collection and treatment (Operable Unit 1), site access control (Operable Unit 2), and subsurface remediation and construction of a landfill cap (Operable Unit 3). The EPA has not yet selected a remedy for groundwater at the site (Operable Unit 4).
Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the settling parties shall pay to the Department $750,000.00 for costs incurred and to be incurred by the Department at the Strasburg Landfill site. Once payment has been made under the Decree, Somerset Strippers of Virginia, Inc., Buckley & Company, Inc., Robert R. Buckley, Sr. and Joseph M. Martosella, Sr. will have resolved their liability to the Department and will be eligible for contribution protection as provided in section 705(c)(2) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)) and section 113(f) of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. § 9613(f)), regarding matters addressed in the Consent Decree.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Consent Decree is available for public review and comment and may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Offices at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428 by contacting Tim Sheehan at (610) 832-6149 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (610) 832-6300. A public comment period on the Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from the date of publication of this Notice. Interested persons may submit written comments regarding the Consent Decree to Tim Sheehan at the above address.
Notice of Interim Response
Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County Baghurst Alley Site The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is issuing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began an interim response action on November 23, 1999, at the Baghurst Alley Site (Site), located near Baghurst Alley and Hendricks Road in Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County. The Site has a plume of contaminated groundwater, affecting a number of residential wells. Based on the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department decided that it was necessary to implement an interim response action at the Site under authority under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The contaminants of concern at this site include 1,1-Dichlorothene (1,1-DCE), 1,1-Dichloroethane (1,1-DCA), 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and Trichloroethene (TCE). All of these compounds have been reported over MCLs in at least one residential well. Approximately 30 homes are currently known to be affected by the contamination.
The Department is providing bottled water to affected residents, to minimize the exposure to and threat from the contaminants.
A separate Response Action is planned to investigate the source and extent of the contamination.
Alternative 1) A No Action alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be compared and/or judged. Had the Department selected the ''No Action'' alternative, any actual or potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site would have remained the same.
Alternative 2) Carbon Filtration is not a permanent solution and would require many years of ongoing operations and maintenance costs. In addition, some of the homes could not accommodate the filtration systems. It does not comply with the ARAR preference for a permanent solution.
Alternative 3) Connection to a Public Water Supply System is a permanent solution, and complies with ARARs. There are permitting and franchising issues which might significantly delay implementation of this alternative for this community.
Alternative 4) Creative of a Community Water System is the preferred alternative. It is a permanent solution, complies with ARARs, and could be implemented quickly, assuming the support and cooperation of the municipality.
In evaluating these alternatives, the Department considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and environment, and the alternatives' ability to meet applicable, relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs). The Department also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the interim alternatives. The Department determined that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department proposes Alternative 4, Creation of a Community Water Supply. This alternative is protective of the public health and environment, compiles with ARARs, and is feasible and effective.
An Administrative Record which contains more detailed information concerning the interim response action is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Individuals interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937 to arrange for an appointment.
An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Upper Salford Township Building, during their normal business hours.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of HSCA for July 12, 2000 at 7 p.m. at the Upper Salford Township Building, Salford Station Road, Salfordville, PA 18958. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the July 12 meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann at the telephone number listed above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's interim response action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment, which shall run from the date of this notice through August 21, 2000. Written comments should be addressed to April Flipse, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed above.
Individuals with questions concerning this notice should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Maple Creek Mining, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 224 of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Maple Creek Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Maple Creek Mining, Inc. requested a variance from section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to use an alternate method to drill test holes at the New Eagle Section of the Maple Creek Mine. The purpose of the alternate drilling method is to prevent accidental mining into the abandoned Dunkirk Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 22(b).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:
1. The long horizontal borehole method proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224 is a proven technology which has been used successfully at the New Eagle Mine and other underground mines in the Commonwealth.
2. The long horizontal borehole method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides much less exposure to lifting and strain type injuries, by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes, rather than mining the outside entry 8 feet at a time.
3. The long horizontal borehole proposed in lieu of the requirement set forth in section 224(b) will provide a greater coal barrier than required by section 224(b). Maple Creek Mining, Inc.'s proposed long horizontal borehole method provides a 72% larger barrier for the protection of the miners from contacting the abandoned mine over the requirements of section 224(b).
4. The long horizontal boreholes will provide a quicker method to close the borehole in the event of contacting the abandoned mine by closing the valve located at the end of the pipe grouted in the rib and will be more suitable for grouting, if needed.
5. The long horizontal borehole will provide a much larger area of coverage for protecting the workers against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine.
