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--304 and 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 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 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 as 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit
Applications
Nonmajor 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.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with 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.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.
Branch Township, Schuylkill County.
The Plan Revision calls for Branch Township to enter into a joint project with neighboring Cass Township to construct a regional sewer system. A sanitary sewage collection and conveyance system will be constructed to serve approximately 672 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) in the following areas of Branch Township: Llewellyn, West Terrace, Phoenix Park, Dowdentown and New Minersville. The sewage from these areas will be conveyed to a 450,000 gallons per day (gpd) treatment plant that will be constructed south of the Village of Llewellyn, with a treated effluent discharge to the West Branch of the Schuylkill River. In addition, a sewage collection system and a 5,000 gpd package sewage treatment plant will be constructed to serve approximately 20 EDUs in the Village of Stein's Mill. Treated effluent from the Stein's Mill plant will be discharged into Muddy Branch Creek.
The plan is approved with the following conditions:
1. The approved project will require NPDES Permits for the proposed effluent discharges. The permit applications must be submitted in the name of the municipality or authority, as appropriate.
2. The approved project will require Water Management Part II Permits for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. The permit applications must be submitted in the name of the municipality or authority, as appropriate.
Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law.
3. Other Departmental permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for such permits or approvals can be obtained from the Department's Soils and Waterways Section by contacting (570) 826-2553.
It is now Branch Township's responsibility to implement the Plan Revision in accordance with the schedule contained therein.

Location: State Route 946, 1 mile west of the intersection of 946 and SR 987 in Moore Township, Northampton County. Project Description: This project proposes the expansion and renovation of the existing Moore Township Elementary School comprising 17.62 acres. The school and its facilities serve 735 students and faculty at this time. An existing activated sludge package treatment plant serves the school. The plant has a permitted discharge of 6,420 gpd of treated effluent to an unnamed tributary of the Hokendauqua Creek. The existing metered water consumption rate of the school population is 4,238 gpd. The treatment plant will undergo renovations including the addition of flow equalization facilities and a new effluent tank incorporating chlorination, dechlorination, polishing clarifier and a post aeration compartment will be installed. The anticipated student/faculty population after renovation to the school is 970, which will generate a water consumption rate of 5,620 gpd. An existing well provides water to the school.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Filmore Site Millcreek Township, Erie County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Benjamin F. Kimmel concerning the resolution of his liability for the Filmore Site (Site). The Site is located at the end of Filmore Avenue in Millcreek Township, Erie County, PA.
In the past, hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department has incurred more than $500,000 in response costs at the Site. The Department estimates that it will cost up to $1.8 million dollars more to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site. As an owner of a portion of the Site subsequent to hazardous substance disposal and initial releases at the Site, and during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site, Benjamin F. Kimmel is a ''responsible person'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103). Under the terms of the CO&A, Benjamin Kimmel shall pay a total of $45,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund in settlement of his share of responsibility for the cleanup of the Site. Benjamin F. Kimmel will also convey title of the portion of the Site that he owes to the Department, under the terms of the CO&A. The Department anticipates that the response action will be conducted at the Site during the 2000 construction season. This response will help mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances there.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A between the Department and Benjamin Kimmel. 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 Benjamin Kimmel shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Benjamin Kimmel, in writing, that this Consent Order and Agreement 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 such 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 Charles L. Tordella, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Charles Tordella at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Chemigraphics Site Whitpain Township, Montgomery County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is issuing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020--6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began an interim response action on September 16, 1998, at the Chemigraphics Site (Site), located at Railroad Avenue and Mathers Road in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The Site has a plume of contaminated groundwater, and had a number of drums and containers of hazardous wastes and materials. Based on the ongoing release and imminent threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department decided that it was necessary to implement a prompt interim response action at the Site under authority under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Department determined that prompt action was required to protect the public health and safety and the environment from the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances.
The Department made its decision to implement a prompt interim response at the Site because of the community's actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances by inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact. The formerly unused portions of the facility were being put back into active use, and as a result the probability of exposure to stored materials increased. Because of these conditions, the Department determined that prompt action was required to protect the public health and safety, and the environment within the meaning of 25 Pa. Code 3.21(b). The Department will conduct further investiga-tions of Site conditions concurrent with, and following, the prompt interim response action.
The objectives of the prompt interim response action were to remove and properly dispose of hazardous wastes and materials that the Department had stored on the Site. The Department considered two alternative interim response actions for the Chemigraphics Site:
Alternative 1) No Action. A ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be prepared and/or judged. Had the Department selected the ''No Action'' alternative, any actual or potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site would have remained the same.
Alternative 2) Waste Removal and Disposal. This alternative consisted of shipping the stored wastes offsite to properly permitted disposal facilities.
In evaluating these alternatives, the Department considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and environment, and the alternatives' ability to meet applicable, relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs). The Department also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the prompt interim alternatives. The Department determined that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department selected Alternative 2, ''Waste Removal and Disposal.'' This alternative is protective of the public health and environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and effective. Due to the arrival of a new tenant at the facility, the Department determined that prompt action was required under the authority provided in section 505(b) of HSCA.
An Administrative Record which contains more detailed information concerning the prompt interim response action is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's offices at Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Individuals interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937 to arrange for an appointment.
An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Wissahickon Valley Public Library, Ambler Branch, 209 Race Street, Ambler.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of HSCA for June 13, 2000 at 7 p.m. at the Wissahickon Valley Public Library System, Blue Bell Branch, 650 Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, PA 19422. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this prompt interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the June 13 meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann at the telephone number listed or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's prompt interim response action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment, which shall run from the date of this notice through August 4, 2000. Written comments should be addressed to April Flipse, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed.
Individuals with questions concerning this notice should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937.

[Continued from previous Web Page] LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigations, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the content of the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan and report appears. If information concerning the plan and report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.
