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, 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)(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 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.

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 these 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 the 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. 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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701; Contact: David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
41-302-042B: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (USP Allenwood, P. O. Box 3500, White Deer, PA 17887-3500) for modification of two existing 12.55 million Btu per hour boilers at the Allenwood Federal Prison Camp in Brady Township, Lycoming County. The modification will utilize landfill gas from the Lycoming County Landfill as fuel in the boilers in addition to the natural gas and #2 fuel oil which the boilers are currently approved to use.
The boilers are expected to destroy at least 98% of the nonmethane organic compounds present in the landfill gas, or, alternately, achieve a nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boilers' exhaust gas of 20 parts per million, or less (on a dry volume basis, expressed as hexane, corrected to 3% oxygen). This level of nonmethane organic compound control complies with the landfill gas destruction efficiency requirements of Subpart WWW of the Federal Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (40 CFR 60.750--60.759, Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills), even though the respective boilers are not subject to said requirements and is also the same level of control proposed by the EPA on November 7, 2000, as maximum achievable control technology for the control of hazardous air pollutants in landfill gas from municipal waste landfills.
The use of landfill gas as fuel in the respective boilers is also expected to result in the emission of up to .44 pound of nitrogen oxides, .45 pound of carbon monoxide and .38 pound of sulfur oxides per hour from each boiler. These nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emission rates are approximately equivalent to the emission rates which result from the use of natural gas in the boilers but lower than the rates which result from the use of #2 fuel oil. The sulfur oxides emission rate resulting from the use of landfill gas will be higher than that resulting from the use of natural gas but significantly lower than that resulting from the use of #2 fuel oil.
A preliminary review of the information contained in the application indicates that the respective boilers, as modified, will meet 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 the information currently in its possession, the Department intends to issue plan approval for the modification of the respective boilers.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. At any time that either of the respective two boilers is firing landfill gas, that boiler shall achieve a nonmethane organic compound destruction efficiency of at least 98% or, alternately, achieve a nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boiler flue gas of 20 parts per million, or less (on a dry volume basis, expressed as hexane, corrected to 3% oxygen).
2. Each boiler shall be equipped with a flue gas recirculation system.
3. The nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and sulfur oxides emission rates from each boiler shall not exceed .44, .45 and .38 pound per hour, respectively, when firing landfill gas.
4. Within 90 days of the initial firing of landfill gas in a boiler, stack testing shall be performed on that boiler to determine the nonmethane organic compound destruction efficiency in the boiler as well as the nonmethane organic compound concentration in the boiler's exhaust.
5. Records shall be maintained of the amount of landfill gas burned in each boiler each month.
6. The boilers shall burn only landfill gas from the Lycoming County Landfill, natural gas or virgin #2 fuel oil. Additionally, only one of these fuels may be burned in a boiler at any given time.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Remedial Response RSR-Jones Chemical Site City of Erie, Erie County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is proposing an interim response action for the RSR-Jones Chemical Site (site).
The site is located in the City of Erie, Erie County, PA and is approximately 6.5 acres in size. The site can be found at 42°06`28.2" north latitude and 80°06`29.0" west longitude on the Erie South topographic quadrangle. The site is bordered on the east by industrial facilities and on the north by an unnamed tributary (drainage ditch) to Cascade Creek which flows southwest to northeast in a shallow open channel parallel to and between, the site and tracks of the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad (B&LE RR). The drainage ditch passes through a culvert beneath the tracks into a connection of the Cascade Creek underground conduit approximately 100 feet northeast of the site. To the west of the site is a portion of the Cascade Creek conduit, which enters a surface stream channel approximately 0.8 mile north of the site. Cascade Creek is a tributary to Presque Isle Bay in Lake Erie, approximately 1.4 miles downstream (north) of the site.
The site consists of six operable units (OU): OU1, a sludge disposal area comprised of a 1-foot thick layer of brown or tan sand covering a gray sludge which is 9 to 19 feet thick, extending approximately 12 feet above the surrounding grade and covering an area of approximately 1.6 acres; OU2, a former tank farm area, located on the southeast side of the site and previously used by a chemical repackaging and distribution business for the storage of chemicals such as sulfuric acid, toluene and hydrochloric acid; OU3, a former drum storage area, located in the northwest corner of the site; OU4, historical fill, ranging from 4 to 12 feet thick and comprised of predominately sandy soil, with some sludge, silty or clayey soil, gravel, clinkers, brick and glass; OU5, groundwater beneath the site and surface water in the drainage ditch flowing along the northern edge of the site through a shallow, open channel into a culvert near the northern corner of the site and into Cascade Creek at a manhole northeast of the site; OU6, sediment in the drainage ditch.
This proposed response addresses OU1, OU5 and OU6 as they pertain to OU1; OU2--OU6, as they pertain to OU2--OU4, will be addressed in a separate proposed response.
The sludge disposal area was the result of Erie Chemical Works, also known as Erie Chemical Company, Kalbfleisch Corporation, Stovant Corporation and American Cyanamid & Chemical Corporation manufacturing ''alum'' and ''satin white'' chemical products. Alum was manufactured by reacting bauxite ore with water and sulfuric acid in a digester. The mixture was pumped to a settling tank to separate the alum solution from residual ''muds.'' The alum solution was decanted from the tank and the muds were rinsed with water to recover and recycle alum and sulfuric acid. The mud was pumped to an impoundment or pit on the western portion of the present-day site, which Cyanamid constructed for the disposal of the waste sludge material from their chemical manufacturing operations. The pit was approximately 10 feet deep and about 1.5 acres in surface area. As the pit became filled with sludge, drums containing an unidentified, dark amber, resin-like material were used around the perimeter as berms to increase the capacity of the pit. These berms allowed the sludge to be piled approximately 7 to 8 feet above the adjacent ground level for a total depth of approximately 17 feet. Currently, Erie Warehouse owns all the land occupied by the site, except for the B&LE RR property. The majority of the sludge disposal area is located on Erie Warehouse property; however, part of the sludge pile is on property owned by B&LE RR.
Past investigations have found, among other metals and VOCs: aluminum, lead, copper, mercury and zinc in the sludge disposal area; chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene in groundwater; lead, mercury, aluminum, 1,1-dichloroethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, trichloroethene, vinyl chloride and toluene in surface water; copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, methylene chloride, chloroform, trichloroethene and tetrachloroethylene in sediments. These substances are ''hazardous substances'' as defined under section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103).
The concentrations of these hazardous substances at the site pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. To reduce or eliminate the threat to human health and the environment from the waste sludge, contaminated soils, surface water, sediments and groundwater, the Department proposes that an interim response action be conducted at the site.
The Department's two main objectives of the proposed interim response action at the site are: 1) to protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances; and 2) to eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from waste and associated contaminated soil.
The Department considered four alternatives for the proposed interim response action for OU1 at the site:
1. No Action--the existing vegetation and soil covering the sludge disposal area would remain and no additional work would be performed.
2. Cap in Place--the sludge disposal area would be covered with an impermeable cap, to minimize the infiltration of water to prevent any leaching of contaminants into the upper aquifer. It would also reduce access to direct contact with the contaminated sludge.
3. Consolidate and Pave--the sludge disposal area would be consolidated under a surcharge (that is, adding extra weight to the top of the sludge disposal area to consolidate the waste material) and paved.
4. Removal for Offsite Disposal--the sludge disposal area would be excavated and removed from the site for disposal offsite and the area regarded and leveled with clean fill.
The Department considered four alternatives for the interim response action for OU5, as it relates to OU1, at the site:
1. Monitored Natural Attenuation--under this alternative, monitored natural attenuation would be used as a remedy for the groundwater after source-control measures for OU1 have been implemented. Actual public exposure to groundwater contaminants is limited and natural attenuation is expected to further reduce groundwater contaminant concentrations in a reasonable time.
2. Eliminate Groundwater Discharge--under this alternative, eliminating the groundwater discharge to the drainage ditch via excavation of contaminated sediments from and installation of a French drain, the drainage ditch would eliminate the primary source of contaminants.
3. Redirect Groundwater Flow--under this alternative, groundwater flow would be redirected around the entire site to limit the further contamination of groundwater and surface water by installing an impermeable vertical barrier at the upgradient (that is, southern) boundary of the site.
4. Pump and Treat--under this alternative, groundwater would be pumped from a series of wells or trenches, treated to remove contaminants and discharged.
The Department considered two alternatives for the interim response action for OU6, as it relates to OU1, at the site:
1. Line Drainage Ditch--under this alternative the top 1 to 2 feet of sediments would be removed and replaced with clean fill.
2. Remove Sediments--under this alternative, the drainage ditch would be lined with material such as cement or surface water channeled through a culvert.
In light of the objectives for the site, the Department evaluated each alternative to determine: the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act, The Clean Streams Law and other applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs); the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and the relative cost of each alternative.
Based on the previous comparative analysis and under section 505(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(a)), the Department proposes to implement the following alternatives for OU1, the sludge disposal areas, and OU5 and OU6, the groundwater/surface water and sediment in the railroad ditch, respectively, as they pertain to OU1 at the site:
OU1--sludge disposal area--combination of Alternatives 2 and 3--capping with either clay soil cover or pavement and groundwater and surface water monitoring.
OU5--groundwater and surface water--combination of Alternatives 1 and 2--monitored natural attenuation and elimination of groundwater discharge.
OU6--sediment in drainage ditch--combination of Alternatives 1 and 2--removal of sediments, followed by lining of ditch.
The Department's proposed response will: protect public health and the environment; comply with or otherwise address ARARs; be feasible, implementable, permanent and effective; and be cost effective.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment.

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Chem-Fab Site
Doylestown, Bucks CountyUnder section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Extra Space of Doylestown, LLC (Extra Space), for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released on its property located at 390 North Broad Street, Doylestown, Bucks County, PA. Extra Space's property is located adjacent to the Chem-Fab HSCA Site, 300 North Broad Street, Doylestown, Bucks County, PA. Between 1965 and 1994, Chem-Fab, Inc. conducted electroplating and etching operations on its property and had a history of pollution incidents involving spills of chromic acid wastes.
In 1995, the EPA conducted a response action at the Site and removed several drums and containers of hazardous wastes, previously abandoned on the site. The EPA pumped and disposed of approximately 8,400 gallons of liquid wastes from an underground storage tank on the site. This liquid waste was corrosive and contained hazardous levels of chromium.
The Extra Space property is northeast and topographically down gradient of the Chem-Fab HSCA Site. The Department's investigative response actions on the Chem-Fab HSCA Site and the Extra Space property have verified that soil and groundwater on these properties have been impacted by the release and threat of release of hazardous substances originating from Chem-Fab, Inc.'s activities. Based on this information, the Department has determined that further response actions are necessary to abate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances on the Extra Space property.
The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claim against Extra Space. There-fore, Extra Space has agreed to reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $11,000 and shall receive contribution protection from claims related to its ownership of this property.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The CO&A, which contains the specific terms of the agreement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting April Flipse at (610) 832-5937 or by e-mail at aflipse@state.pa.us or Gina M. Thomas at (610) 832-6300 or by e-mail at githomas@state.pa.us. A public comment period on the CO&A will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from the publication date of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, by submitting them to April Flipse at the previous address.
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement RSR-Jones Chemical Site
City of Erie, Erie CountyUnder section 1113 of HSCA, notice is hereby provided that the Department has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) by and between Cytec Industries, Inc. (Cytec), Erie Warehouse Properties (EWP) and Hardinger Transfer Co., Inc. (Hardinger) (collectively Settlors) and the Department concerning the cleanup of the RSR-Jones Chemical Site (Site). The Site is located on a 7,556-acre parcel at 1399 West 18th Street in City of Erie, Erie County. A portion of the Site is located within a special industrial area.
In the past, wastes and other materials containing hazardous substances were spilled and disposed at the Site and these hazardous substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department has identified six operable units (OU) at the Site: 1) sludge disposal area; 2) former tank farm area; 3) former drum storage area; 4) historic fill area; 5) groundwater and surface water; and 6) sediment. This CO&A addresses OU-1, the sludge disposal area, OU-5, groundwater and surface water and OU-6, sediment, to the extent they are affected by the sludge disposal area. American Cyanamid disposed of the wastes and other materials in the sludge disposal area. Settlor Cytec, by agreement with American Cyanamid, has agreed to address American Cyanamid's environmental liability at the Site. Settlors EWP and Hardinger intend to reuse the sludge disposal area as a parking area and as an outdoor goods storage area following capping. The hazardous substances present at the Site include: aluminum, lead, copper, mercury and zinc in the sludge disposal area; chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene in groundwater; lead, mercury, aluminum, 1,1-dichloroethane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, trichloroethene, vinyl chloride and toluene in surface water; copper, lead, zinc, aluminum, methylene chloride, chloroform, trichloroethene and tetrachloroethylene in sediments. Each of these substances is defined in section 103 of HSCA as a ''hazardous substance.'' The Settlors propose to design and construct a cap over the sludge disposal area and conduct long-term operation, monitoring and maintenance of that cap and groundwater and surface water at the Site. The Department anticipates these actions will mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances at the Site.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement with the Settlors. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with the Settlors shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies the Settlors, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement or that no comments were received.
The Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing to Christine Dougherty, Project Manager, Knox District Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191.
