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, 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 after 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.

41-00005B: Lycoming Engines (652 Oliver Street, Williamsport, PA 17701). A Title V Operating Permit (41-00005) has been issued for the construction of three aircraft engine parts nitriding (case hardening) furnaces in their facility in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County. The respective facility is a major facility.
The respective three nitriding furnaces (nitriders) actually already exist, having been constructed in 1978, 1985 and 1999, but the required plan approval was not obtained at the time of construction. The nitriders have been operating without air pollution controls and consequently have the potential to emit up to 144 tons of ammonia in any 12 consecutive month period. An air cleaning device, a gas neutralization unit, will now be installed to control these emissions. Following the installation of the gas neutralization unit, the nitriders will emit up to .17 ton of ammonia and 1.39 tons of NOx in any 12 consecutive month period (combined total for all three nitriders).
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that following the installation of the gas neutralization unit, the nitriders will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue plan approval.
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. Lycoming Engines shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Consent Order and Agreement entered into with the Department on August 1, 2002.
2. The air contaminant emissions from the three nitriders shall be captured at an efficiency of no less than 100% and ducted to a gas neutralization unit.
3. The burner of the gas neutralization unit shall be fired on natural gas only.
4. The gas neutralization unit shall be equipped with instrumentation to monitor and record the outlet temperature of the neutralization unit on a continuous basis.
5. A gas neutralization unit outlet temperature of at least 1,650°F shall be maintained at any time air contaminant emissions are being ducted to the neutralization unit from any of the nitriders unless it is determined that a higher minimum temperature is required to ensure compliance with the ammonia emission limit specified herein, in which case, that higher temperature must be maintained at all times.
6. The ammonia emissions from the gas neutralization unit shall not exceed a rate of .038 pound per hour.
7. Within 120 days of the completion of installation of the gas neutralization unit, stack testing shall be performed to determine the ammonia emission rate from the gas neutralization unit while the nitriders are operating at the maximum ammonia emission rate Lycoming Engines ever intends to operate them and while the gas neutralization unit is operating at the lowest temperature Lycoming Engines ever intends to operate it (but not less than 1,650°F).
8. Lycoming Engines shall retain all data generated by the continuous gas neutralization unit outlet temperature monitoring and recording system for at least 5 years and shall make the data available to the Department upon request.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Safe Drinking Water Act 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 may 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 to 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.

In the past, wastes and other materials containing hazardous substances were dumped, spilled or otherwise disposed at the Site and these hazardous substances contaminated the groundwater beneath the Site. The Department investigation thus far has identified that VOCs are present in the groundwater beneath the property. The hazardous substances present at the Site include the VOCs of Dichloroethylene, Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene. Polychlorinated Biphenyls have also been found in sediments at the property. Each of these substances is defined in section 103 of the HSCA as a ''hazardous substance.'' The presence of these hazardous substances at the property constitutes a ''release'' and a ''threat of release'' of a hazardous substance, as defined in section 103 of the HSCA. As a person who owns the property at the time of the release and threat of release of a hazardous substance, the Settlor is a ''responsible person'' as defined in sections 103 and 701 of the HSCA. The Settlor proposes to resolve any liability it may have concerning the Site with a de minimis settlement of $160,000.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A with the Settlor. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if the comments concerning the CO&A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with the Settlor shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies the Settlor, in writing, that this CO&A is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A or that no comments were received.
The CO&A is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mark Gorman, Program Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.

General Permit Numbered WMGM016 is for the processing and beneficial use of clean wood (that is, trees, tree stumps, limbs, clean pallets, untreated and unpainted scrap lumber, packing crates and brush) to create wood chips to be further processing for commercial purposes. The general permit was issued by the Central Office on April 22, 2003.
OPERATE WASTE PROCESSING OR DISPOSAL AREA OR SITE
Permits Approved under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904) and Regulations to Operate a Solid Waste Processing or Disposal Area or Site.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 271.142(a)(4), the Department will publish a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin of justification of overriding county or host municipality recommendations regarding an application for a permit modification under section 504 of the act.
Northeast Region: Regional Solid Waste Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790.
Permit No. 100020. IESI PA Bethlehem Landfill, 2335 Applebutter Rd., Bethlehem, PA 18015. A permit modification authorizing the increase in daily volume and expansion of this municipal waste landfill located in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County. This permit was issued by the Regional Office on April 18, 2003, with an expiration date of April 18, 2013.
The following is the Department's justification of overriding the host municipality's Lower Saucon Township (LST) recommendations. A more detailed summary of comments received and how they were considered is included in a Comment Response Document issued concurrent with the Phase IV Expansion Permit.
1. In accordance with new Department regulations with regard to stormwater management, it is recommended that, in addition to the standard Developer's Improvements Agreement for initial stormwater system improvements and security, a separate ''Covenant'' running with the land be entered into to identify the long-term maintenance responsibilities the landowner has to maintain storm control basins and stormwater piping at this property (MS-4--Requiring Best Management Practices and Identification of Maintenance Responsibilities). IESI has NPDES General Permit PAR502205 and is obligated to follow all requirements of that permit. The model ordinance (currently in draft form) is provided to MS-4 communities to aid in the implementation of their stormwater control programs. The standard Developer's Improvement Agreement referred to is part of that model ordinance. The Department has no authority to enforce the conditions of host agreements or approvals and therefore cannot require a ''Covenant.'' LST may enter into a separate ''Covenant'' running with the land if they choose to do so.
2. LST believes that two additional groundwater monitoring wells are warranted in the northeast corner of the permit area to define the groundwater contamination in Well CO-1. The need to show locations of the groundwater wells on all plan sheets to identify any potential land development conflicts. The Department has reviewed the need for additional monitoring wells in the northeast corner of the site and has concluded that no additional monitoring wells are needed in this area. Groundwater monitoring wells permitted by this action are shown on the applicable plan sheets.
3. Groundwater Assessment North Slope area has never been satisfactorily completed. LST continues to be concerned about the pollution of groundwater along the north and northeast sides of the Landfill and asks, again, that LST seek the Department's support of groundwater assessment studies, as recommended in the Neversink Environmental, Inc. letter dated February 2, 2003. A groundwater assessment was conducted for the North Slope area by Gannett Flemming in a report dated 1996. The groundwater monitoring plan that has been in effect since 1993 is being modified as part of this permit modification issuance and will continue to be monitored. There is no evidence of contamination in this area that would warrant an additional groundwater assessment.
4. Compliance with existing Department Permit No. 100020 conditions (November 9, 1993). LST identified a number of permit conditions listed in IESI's current permit that must be complied with. Permit conditions remain in effect unless specifically modified in the Phase IV permit modification. No outstanding compliance issues exist. The following LST comment warrants further clarification of the permit condition by the Department.
a. Compliance with permit section IX-2 (page 34 of 68) that requires IESI to conduct periodic training sessions with the local police, emergency squads and the city fire departments. This permit condition does not impose any requirement that IESI conduct periodic training sessions with the local police, emergency squads and the city fire departments.
5. Conditions prior to permit issuance. LST has requested that the following technical issues should be finalized prior to the issuance of the permit:
a. IESI should provide the consolidated conforming permit application document package as their application (not as a condition of the permit). This consolidation and conforming application package should be distributed by IESI and the Department for formal review in accordance with the Department regulations and LST and IESI agreements. As part of the approval of the Phase IV expansion area, IESI will be required to submit to the Department a complete consolidated permit application package inclusive of all plan and narrative revisions that were submitted throughout the permit application package as a condition of permit issuance. This document does not change what was previously submitted, but consolidates all revisions into one document. It is not necessary to conduct another formal review of this document prior to permit issuance.
b. The draft ''permit'' should be distributed to IESI and LST for Final Comments at least 60 days prior to issuance to help preclude the necessity to file an appeal by IESI or LST on minor wording adjustments that might be agreeable to IESI, LST and the Department. The Phase IV expansion is a major permit modification. All conditions of the existing permit remain valid unless specifically modified. Therefore, it is unnecessary for the Department to distribute the draft approval for this modification prior to issuance.
6. Recommended final permit conditions. LST has requested that the following final permit conditions should be included with the issuance of the permit:
a. The Permittee shall follow all provisions of the Host Community Agreement and any other ''conditions'' or provisions in LST approvals or permits. The Department has no authority to enforce the Host Community Agreement, as this is an agreement between IESI and LST. This condition is not appropriate.
b. The Permittee shall obtain Department approval of their radiation protection plan and shall install all associated monitoring and protection equipment and shall train all appropriate personnel for implementation action of this plan prior to accepting any waste in Phase IV. The approval of the Phase IV expansion application includes the approval of the radiation protection plan. The permit gives 4 months to order and install the radiation monitoring equipment and enact the implementing procedures. The proposed condition is not appropriate.
c. The permittee shall notify LST and the Department within 24 hours of the discovery of carbonate geology in the uppermost geologic unit, anywhere in the permitted area. The Permittee shall cease work and consult with the Department and LST if carbonate geology is encountered during the installation of the proposed groundwater monitoring wells or earthmoving activities. This issue was reviewed during the review of the application for the current permit issued on November 9, 1993. It has also been addressed by the applicant in the August 3, 2000, expansion application. The information clearly documents that carbonate geology does not underlie the site. Regardless, it is IESI's responsibility to identify and immediately report any encounters with carbonate geology if any is found. The Department does not recognize the need to reiterate a condition that is at least as stringent as what is stated as a condition in a local approval.
d. The permittee shall notify LST 48 hours prior to the drilling of any abatement and/or monitoring well and shall allow the Host Municipal Inspection and Township Geologist to be present during the drilling operation. Condition 13 of the IESI permit requires IESI to notify the Department 2 weeks prior to any major construction activities. LST is copied on all correspondence between IESI and the Department per the Host Agreement. Therefore, no additional permit condition is necessary.
e. The Permittee shall provide a certification for a Pennsylvania Registered Professional Engineer (P. E.) that the liner ''interface friction angle'' meets the requirements of the stability analysis, which was submitted as part of the permit application. This certification shall be submitted to the Department and LST before the Permittee proceeds with liner construction. IESI has indicated that all actual construction materials have been tested and that they meet or exceed the minimum friction angles that have been utilized in the stability analysis. All construction activities are certified by a P. E. via a Construction Certification. LST is copied on all correspondence from IESI to the Department. Submission of this additional certification is not necessary.
f. The Permittee shall provide documentation that monitoring well CO-1 meets the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 273.283. If the permittee cannot provide that documentation, a replacement well (meeting that criteria) shall be provided to the acceptance of any waste in Phase IV. The construction log for CO-1 was submitted to the Department as part of the North Slope Groundwater Assessment Report in 1996. The Department has determined that the monitoring well was properly reconstructed and included within the groundwater monitoring network. This permit condition is not necessary.
g. The Permittee shall complete the North Slope and northeastern groundwater assessment under the existing November 9, 1993, permit conditions within 365 days of the issuance of this permit. The Department has determined that additional groundwater assessment is not necessary for the North Slope area as addressed in Nos. 2 and 3. This permit condition is not necessary.
h. The Permittee shall not allow any reduction in the extent of the continuous hydraulic barrier currently maintained by the existing 13 abatement wells. Any abatement wells proposed to be removed (that is, AB-11 and AB-12) shall be replaced. IESI has indicated and the Department has concurred that abatement wells AB-11 and AB-12 will continue to be operated during the active disposal activities of cells 4A and 4B. Prior to construction of cell 4C, IESI will submit a report containing an evaluation of all groundwater data up to that point. The Department will then render a decision if abatement wells AB-11 and AB-12 could be decommissioned or if they need to be relocated outside and down gradient of the Phase IV disposal area.
i. The Permittee shall perform quarterly sampling of the former Dalrymple well for all listed Department parameters. The Dalrymple well is not located within the permit boundary or part of the current or proposed groundwater monitoring system. It is unnecessary to require quarterly sampling of this well.
j. The Permittee shall monitor the wells on the properties now or formerly of Bowen, Hahn, Klotz, Gardner, in accordance with the requirements of Act 101 even though the properties are not adjacent to the Permittee's facility and even though one or more may be owned by the Permittee. IESI has indicated in their February 3, 2003, response that ''To the extent the owners of those private wells in the area of the Landfill desire to have IESI continue to undertake Act 101 testing of their private water supplies, IESI has and will continue to perform such testing.'' The proposed permit condition exceeds the letter and intent of the Act 101 contiguous well testing provisions and is therefore inappropriate.
k. The Permittee shall not conduct any landfill related activities on the properties now or formerly owned by Dalrymple, Mulliken, Fox or Klotz or other properties the owner may purchase. The Phase IV expansion application does not propose conducting any landfill related activities on these properties and Phase IV permit approval does not include these properties. Therefore, this permit condition is unnecessary.
l. The Permittee shall implement the Transportation Compliance Plan (TCP) and shall provide monthly reports to the Department and to LST to document the effectiveness of the TCP. As part of the reporting requirements, all traffic related incidents and the action taken by the Permittee to remedy/correct these incidents should be formally reported. Monthly reporting is not required by regulation or called for in the TCP. The Department requires IESI to keep this information as part of the landfill's daily operating records. These records are available to the Department upon request, as well as the host municipal inspector. This permit condition is inappropriate.
m. The Permittee shall not accept any waste from a truck driver or waste hauling company that use the Freemansburg Bridge to access or leave the landfill site, except for local municipal solid waste collection trucks. The Department, the Freemansburg Police, the LST Police and/or the Host Municipal Inspector shall be permitted to identify whether or not a violation of this restriction has occurred and, if it has on three or more times, this condition shall be considered a permit violation under Department regulations. The amount of any Department fine that may be paid separately by the Permittee to the Department, based upon a violation of this nature, shall also be paid separately to the LST and to the Borough of Freemansburg. Each of the three violations shall be considered as a separate permit violation. The TCP has been approved and incorporated into the permit as part of the permit application. The Department will take enforcement action as appropriate if trucks do not follow the approved haul routes. In regards to monetary payments to LST and the Borough of Freemansburg for any violations of the Department permit or regulations, the Department cannot support this request.
n. The Permittee shall provide an annual certification provided by a registered P. E., based upon noise testing of the landfilling operation for a typical days operation, that the noise leaving the landfill property does not exceed LST regulatory levels and/or any Department regulatory levels. This annual certification is not necessary. IESI has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Department that noise will not exceed LST regulatory levels. Should noise become a nuisance, the Department can require IESI to investigate and take corrective action as necessary. The Department does not have any regulatory requirements for noise, so this permit condition is inappropriate.
o. The Permittee shall provide ten $1,000 environmental scholarships per year to the students of three area schools. IESI has listed these scholarships as a benefit of the approved Phase IV expansion application and is fully expected to offer them. Permit condition no. 16 requires IESI to give quarterly status reports of the benefits relied upon during the review of this application. The Department believes these factors to be adequate safeguards to insure that the benefit will occur.
p. The Permittee shall provide emergency management capabilities (personnel and equipment) to LST in time of need. IESI has listed emergency management capabilities as a benefit of the approved Phase IV expansion application and is fully expected to offer them. Permit condition no. 16 requires IESI to give quarterly status reports of the benefits relied upon during the review of this application. The Department believes these factors to be adequate safeguards to insure that the benefit will occur.
q. The Permittee shall replace any designated wetland that is damaged or lost by the long-term operation of the landfill onsite or offsite. If the construction of replacement wetlands are not possible onsite, then the Permittee shall financially assist LST or any other responsible agency approved by LST for their use in creating, purchasing or protecting other wetlands within LST, to a limit of $10,000 per acres of any wetland damaged or lost. The plans for the Phase IV expansion do not call for any impacts to wetlands. Therefore this permit condition is unnecessary.
r. The Permittee shall conduct two quarters of prefill monitoring for any new monitoring wells constructed. The existing groundwater monitoring system has already characterized the groundwater aquifer in the Phase IV expansion area. No prefill monitoring of any particular length of time is required.
s. The Permittee shall provide LST with automatic updates of the Permittee's Compliance History within 30 days of any update. Updates to the Permittee's Compliance History are routinely distributed in their annual operations report to the Department and at times more frequently. LST receives a copy of the annual reports as well as any other correspondence from IESI to the Department. It is unnecessary to require more frequent updates of the compliance history.
t. The Permittee shall receive all applicable Host Municipal Zoning and Land Development Plan approvals prior to construction and/or use of Phase IV for waste disposal. It is IESI's responsibility to follow all provisions of the Host Community Agreement. The Department has no authority to enforce the Host Community Agreement, as this is an agreement between IESI and LST. This condition is inappropriate.
u. The Permittee shall transfer undertake waste characterization of the woodfill area to identify: the areal extent of the waste; depth of the waste; and character, type and nature of the waste. This shall be completed with a report of the results provided to the Department and LST prior to placement of any waste in cell 4-B. If the Department's review of the waste characteristics results in a finding that the waste must be capped and be removed, then IESI shall provide the engineering design, major permit modification and shall undertake that activity on a schedule approved by the Department. The woodfill area was previously subjected to an extensive investigation that was prepared by Gannett Fleming, Inc. in 1994. The Department does not believe that sufficient evidence exists to warrant another study of the woodfill area at this time.
7. In a letter received by the Department on March 31, 2003, LST identified several technical review comments related to the Modification for Radiation Protection that was issued as part of the Phase IV expansion permit. The comments were addressed previously either by IESI with its January 24, 2003, submittal or by the Department in its December 17, 2002, letter to LST. The Department believes no additional response is necessary.
8. LST requested the following conditions be made part of the Major Modification for Radiation Protection plan in a letter received by the Department on March 31, 2003. The Modification for Radiation Protection was issued as part of the Phase IV expansion permit:
a. That the forthcoming ''implementing procedures'' document which IESI and the Department have referred to are provided to LST for official review, allowing LST to issue comments to the Department as part of the application review process. That the ''implementing procedures'' address all previous technical comments made by LST, which to this point have been considered outside of thescope of Department requirements for the ''Plan.'' The final approved ''implementing procedures,'' having considered all LST comments and concerns, should be identified as written ''conditions'' of the permit modification that would be issued by the Department. Implementing procedures will be developed by IESI after the radiation protection system has been installed and calibrated and is not part of the technical review of this application. These procedures are not necessarily in the form of a written document that can be submitted to the Department and this is not going to be required of IESI.
b. That all monitoring equipment be installed, tested, fully operational and in use per the approved ''implementing procedures'' prior to acceptance of any waste in the Phase IV expansion area (if the expansion is approved). This condition is requested as a written condition on the Phase IV expansion permit modification that would be issued by the Department. This was addressed in 6b.
c. That LST is notified ''at the time of any alarm.'' This condition is requested as a written condition on the permit modification that would be issued by the Department. IESI must notify the Department by fax or e-mail at the time of any alarm. As LST is copied on all correspondence to the Department, it is unnecessary to include this as a permit condition.
d. That IESI notify LST of radiation protection training sessions and allow LST participation (up to two individuals) at the sessions with no charge to LST. This is beyond the scope of what the Department can require in its permit.
e. Where the Department may refuse to list the previous permit conditions within the permit modification document; LST will then enter into renegotiations of the Host Agreement to ensure these conditions are met. LST is free to renegotiate its host agreement as it sees fit. The Department will not make this a permit condition.

RESIDUAL WASTE GENERAL PERMITS
Department Initiated General Permit under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003); the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904); and Residual Waste Regulations for a General Permit to Operate Residual Waste Processing Facilities and the Beneficial Use of Residual Waste other than Coal Ash.
Central Office: Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 14th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
General Permit Application No. WMGR090. The Department, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, authorizes the processing and beneficial use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials, under Residual Waste General Permit WMGR090, as a roadway construction material. This is a Statewide residual waste general permit. This residual waste general permit was issued by the Central Office on April 21, 2003.
The Department is authorized under the Solid Waste Management Act and 25 Pa. Code § 287.611 to issue general permits for any category of beneficial use or processing that results in the beneficial use of residual waste on a Statewide basis when the Department determines that the use does not harm or present a threat of harm to the health, safety or welfare of the public or the environment and the activity can be adequately regulated using standard conditions. The Department has determined reclaimed asphalt pavement materials can be adequately regulated using standard conditions.
Under the terms and conditions of this residual waste general permit, persons or municipalities who are permitted to process and beneficially use the RAP materials will be required to, at a minimum, comply with The Clean Streams Law, the Solid Waste Management Act and the terms and conditions of the general permit.
Persons or municipalities who want to operate under the terms of this general permit, after the issuance of the general permit, must submit a ''Registration'' request to the Department's Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.
