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, 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 before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

47-309-001A: United States Gypsum Co. (125 South Franklin Street, Chicago, IL 60606) for construction of synthetic gypsum railcar and truck unloading operations in Derry Township, Montour County.
The proposed railcar and truck unloading operations will be associated with the gypsum wallboard manufacturing facility which is currently under construction at the respective site. Plan approval (47-309-001) for construction of the wallboard manufacturing facility was issued by the Department of Environmental Protection on November 17, 2006. Synthetic gypsum is flue gas desulfurization scrubber sludge.
The PM and PM10 emissions associated with the railcar and truck unloading operations are not expected to exceed a maximum of 30.4 tons and 5.95 tons, respectively, per year, most of which will come from increased use of facility roadways. These values assume that 100% of the facility's synthetic gypsum needs will be supplied by truck, a highly unlikely occurrence. As a significant portion of the facility's synthetic gypsum needs are expected to be satisfied by synthetic gypsum delivered to the facility by conveyor from the adjacent PPL Montour, LLCs Montour Steam Electric Station and at least a portion of the remainder will be delivered by rail, the PM and PM10 emissions which will actually occur as a result of synthetic gypsum railcar and truck unloading will most probably be significantly less than these maximum values.
The facility in which the railcar and truck unloading operations will be located will be a major (Title V) facility for CO and PM10 and will be required to obtain a Title V operating permit.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by the United States Gypsum Co. indicates that the proposed synthetic gypsum railcar and truck unloading operations should comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the fugitive air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2, the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 and the requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670--60.676, (Standards of Performance for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing Plants). Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the construction of the proposed synthetic gypsum railcar and truck unloading operations.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. All conditions of Plan Approval 47-309-001 remain unchanged and in effect unless superseded or amended by a condition contained herein. If there is a conflict between a condition contained in Plan Approval 47-309-001 and a condition contained herein, the permittee shall comply with the condition contained herein rather than with the conflicting condition contained in Plan Approval 47-309-001.
2. The permittee shall comply with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.12 as well as all applicable requirements of Subpart OOO of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources, 40 CFR 60.670 through 60.676.
3. No more than 1,100,000 tons of synthetic gypsum shall be delivered to the facility by railcar or truck in any 12-consecutive month period. Any portion of this 1,100,000 tons may be delivered by railcar and any portion may be delivered by truck.
4. All railcars delivering synthetic gypsum to the facility shall be unloaded inside a railcar unloading building which shall be an enclosed structure except for the railcar entrance and exit and any access doors which may exist. All access doors shall be closed when railcar unloading is occurring.
5. All trucks delivering synthetic gypsum to the facility shall be unloaded inside the facility's three sided, roofed rock shed.
6. Synthetic gypsum shall only be stockpiled in the facility's rock shed.
7. The conveyor incorporated in the railcar unloading operation shall be fully enclosed or equipped with a three sided cover (top and two sides) except for those portions of the conveyor which are located underground or inside of an enclosed building, in which case an enclosure or cover is not required.
8. All facility roadways shall be paved and properly maintained.
9. The permittee shall establish, and enforce, a vehicle speed limit of 15 mph on all facility roadways. This speed limit shall be posted in highly visible locations along the respective roadways.
10. The permittee shall establish, and enforce, a requirement that all trucks entering or exiting the facility loaded with synthetic gypsum shall be tarped or otherwise covered. This requirement shall be posted in highly visible locations.
11. An operable vacuum type road sweeper shall be maintained onsite at all times and shall be used, as needed, to remove dust from roadways. The use of nonvacuum type road sweepers is prohibited.

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

The wastewater treatment plant will have a stream discharge to Deer Creek and will be located on the northern corner of SR 851 and Saddler Church Road in Hopewell Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because the project, as proposed, does not address a specific subdivision and can not be considered for approval as a Revision for New land Development, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 71.1. The nature and scope of this project dictates that Act 537 Planning must be completed as a municipal Official Plan Update Revision in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa.
