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 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, 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.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Richard Maxwell, New Source Review Chief, (570) 327-3637.
08-00003A: CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 311, Shiner Road, Towanda, PA 18848) for their facility in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 08-00003 has been issued. The Department intends to issue a plan approval to authorize the applicant to construct the following:
A trim surface coating operation (SCO) to work in conjunction with the existing lap siding line SCO (TVOP Source ID 189P) to produce the MiraTEC trim product. The proposed trim SCO consists of the following air contaminant sources:
1. Spray booth 1.
2. Spray booth 2.
3. Preheat IR oven manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 4.263 mmBtu/hr.
4. HVHA oven 1 manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 3.0 mmBtu/hr.
5. HVHA oven 2 manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 6.0 mmBtu/hr.
6. Final IR oven manufactured by TEC with a rated heat input of 4.263 mmBtu/hr.
Under the best available technology (BAT) provisions in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the air contaminant emission from each spray booth shall be controlled by an upflow cyclonic separator followed by a BHA/Standard Havens Model R-12-156-144 pulse-jet fabric collector. The air contaminant emissions from each HVHA oven shall be controlled by Winnox Model WX300 low NOx burners.
This project will emit up to 14 tons of VOCs, 7.6 tons of HAPs, 2.8 tons of PM, including PM10, 1.9 tons of NOx, 3.8 tons of CO and 0.04 ton of SOx in any 12 consecutive month period.
Under the New Source Review requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201--127.217, because of the amount of de minimis increases in the potential to emit VOCs which have been accrued by this facility to date, the 14.0-ton in any 12 consecutive month period allowable VOC emissions rate for this project which is being requested by CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. will require the use of 46.92 tons per year (12 consecutive month period) of VOC emission reduction credits (ERCs). To satisfy this requirement, CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. has committed to purchase and apply the previous ERCs prior to the start of operation of the proposed trim SCO. The accrued de minimis VOC emission increases are as follows:

Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.
PAG123584, CAFO, Carl F. Myer and John G. Myer, Walnut Run Farms, 292 Elm Road, Lititz, PA 17543. This proposed facility is in Penn Township, Lancaster County.
Description of Size and Scope of Proposed Operation/Activity: The Walnut Acres Farms is an existing dairy operation with a total AEUs of 1,252.5. This operation consists of 600 mature Holsteins, 500 heifers and 60 calves with a total annual manure production of 34,626 tons. The dairy herd is confined 100% of the time. The liquid manure of the milking cows is handled as a liquid stored in a round, concrete manure storage facility and a steel slurry store. The concrete structure is 120 feet by 12 feet with a useable storage of approximately 930,000 gallons. The steel structure is 62 feet by 14 feet with a useable storage of approximately 290,000 gallons. The two storages provide a total of 1.17 million gallons. All the manure produced on this farm is land applied on the 970 tillable acres owned by the partnership.
The receiving stream, UNT to Chickies Creek, is in watershed 7-G and classified for WWF.
The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include: Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25-year/24-hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a nondischarge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with the Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and The Clean Streams Law constitutes compliance with the State narrative water quality standards.
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.

Abbottstown, PA 17301York Plan Description: A3-67949-171-2/3, Dukehart Subdivision. The Official Plan Revision proposed an 11-lot single-family residential subdivision on 79 acres with lots 1-6 using on-lot sewage disposal and lots 8-12 using public sewerage facilities. The proposed subdivision is between Moulstown Road and Pine Road, approximately 1,500 feet south of Route 30 in Paradise Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because lots 1-6 were not sized large enough to dilute nitrate-nitrogen concentrations from the proposed on-lot sewage disposal systems. Additionally, the proposed groundwater easements were not down gradient from the proposed systems and the sewage plumes would not be mitigated by the easements as shown on the plot plan
