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.

41-00005C: Lycoming Engines (652 Oliver Street, Williamsport, PA 17701) a batch vapor degreaser, a solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks at 652 Oliver Street, City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
The respective facility is a major facility for which Title V Operating Permit 41-00005 has been issued.
The batch vapor degreaser will be used to clean metal aircraft engine parts with perchloroethylene which has been designated as an HAP by the EPA. It will incorporate a refrigerated freeboard chiller as well as various design features (cover, extended freeboard, and the like) to control the emission of perchloroethylene. The batch vapor degreaser is expected to emit up to 1.84 tons of perchloroethylene in a 12 consecutive month period.
The solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks will also be used to clean metal aircraft engine parts, but will do so using mineral spirits. They are expected to emit up to a combined total of .73 ton of VOCs in a 12 consecutive month period, of which .00073 ton will also be HAPs.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Lycoming Engines indicates that the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks will meet all applicable air quality 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, the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.63 and the requirements of Subpart T of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Categories, 40 CFR 63.460--63.470. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the construction of the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks. Additionally, if the Department determines that the batch vapor degreaser, solvent flush booth and two solvent dip tanks are operating in compliance with all applicable plan approval conditions and regulatory requirements, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 41-00005 via administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.

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.

Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Bethany Borough 438 Wayne Street
Bethany, PA 18431Wayne Plan Description: The Plan was disapproved on May 7, 2004, because it did not meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 71.21. This Plan proposed to construct a sewerage collection system to serve the Borough of Bethany. Treatment was to be provided by the Honesdale Municipal Treatment Facility. Specifically, capacity at the Honesdale Municipal Treatment Facility was not thoroughly evaluated. In addition, the Plan did not meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 93.4c because all cost-effective nondischarge alternatives were not adequately evaluated.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Interim Response Eastmont Dry Cleaners, Monroeville Borough, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Eastmont Dry Cleaner Site (Site), 4137 William Penn Highway, Borough of Monroeville, Allegheny County. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The property has been the location of dry cleaning operations dating to 1970. Analytical data generated by Walnut Capital, a prospective buyer for the Site, indicates that groundwater onsite and offsite in the area of Kenmar Drive is contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE) and other chlorinated hydrocarbons.
The Department's response focused primarily on offsite contamination in the area of Kenmar Drive, which is hydraulically down gradient of the Site.
Because PCE and other chlorinated compounds may affect indoor air quality, the Department proceeded with an investigation that included sampling indoor air quality, as well as soil gases at residences on Kenmar Drive. The investigation has been conducted to determine whether or not the contamination associated with the Site may be affecting the health of area residents.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Application for Solid Waste Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has tentatively decided to grant a variance from classification as solid waste for certain material produced at Sartomer Company's (Sartomer) West Chester plant (610 South Bolmar Street, West Chester, PA 19382). This notice announces the opportunity for interested parties to review and comment on the variance application prior to a final decision by the Department. The variance request was submitted to the Department under Federal hazardous waste regulations in 40 CFR 260.30(c), which are incorporated by reference in 25 Pa. Code § 260a.1. This variance provision is available for materials that have been reclaimed but must be reclaimed further before the materials are completely recovered. The specific material for which Sarotmer has requested a variance is a mixed heptane and toluene stream that will be partially reclaimed from an aqueous solution at Sartomer's West Chester facility. If the variance is granted, Sartomer plans to transport the partially reclaimed material, as a nonwaste material, to their Chatham, VA facility where it will be further reclaimed into separate heptane-rich and toluene-rich streams. The fully recovered material will then be reused directly as raw material in the manufacturing processes at either Sartomer's West Chester facility or Chatham, VA facility.
Persons wishing to comment on Sartomer's variance request and the Department's tentative decision to grant the request are invited to submit comments within 30 days from the date of this public notice to the Department at the following address. For more detailed information on the specific aspects of Sartomer's variance request, to obtain a copy of the request or to submit comments, contact Dwayne Womer, Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Hazardous Waste Management, P. O. Box 8471, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 787-6239, dwomer@state.pa.us. Comments received within the comment period will be considered by the Department in making the final decision regarding Sartomer's request. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. The Department will also accept requests for a public hearing on this matter. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public response significant.

Warminster, PA 18974Testing Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the
Big Run Watershed in Clearfield CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Big Run Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held on July 14, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, Daisy Street, Clearfield, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office, (814) 342-8200 by 4 p.m. on Friday, July 9, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Big Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Big Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). Three stream segments in the Big Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 25971 (7162) Big Run 1.1 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion Value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Big Run Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Big Run Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Big Run Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by August 11, 2004, and sent to John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, contact John Mital at the previous phone number or e-mail address.
