Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (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 the background or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide 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 attains 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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears.

[Continued from previous Web Page] LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 2
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate under standards identified in Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.304(n)(1) and 6026.305(c)) for site-specific standards and Special Industrial Areas.
Sections 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (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 attains 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, 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, 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 (800) 654-5984.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE
Title V Operating Permit Permit No. TV-22-05010 Dauphin County The Department of Environmental Protection intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation for the Grantville Compressor Station located in East Hanover Township, Dauphin County. The Title V Operating Permit is required under 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G for major stationary sources.
An appointment to review the application and other pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 540-5018 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
Those wishing to comment on the proposed action may contact the Department representative Kanubhai Patel, Chief, Title V Facilities Section, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Comments may be submitted during the 30-day period immediately following the publication of this notice. Each comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments along with the reference number of the permit (TV-22-05010).
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the comment period. The Department will give notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing as per 25 Pa. Code § 127.521.
Title V Operating Permit No. 18-00001 Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, notice is given that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to the Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation for the Renovo compressor station. The Renovo compressor station is located in Chapman Township, Clinton County. The Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation representative to contact regarding this application is P. M. Hoffman, Environmental Engineer, P. O. Box 1273, Charleston, WV 25325.
The Renovo compressor station is used primarily for the distribution of natural gas. As a result of the nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emitted, the Renovo station is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.
Persons wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the Department of Environmental Protection at the address shown in the preceding paragraph. 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:
Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
