Notice of Draft Permit for Site-Specific Water Quality Criterion for Copper Under 25 Pa. Code § 16.24(e), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to amend the following permit by incorporating the results of a Water-Effect Ratio (WER) into the calculation of the water quality based effluent limit for copper. The WER is a biological determination of a site-specific aquatic life criterion, determined by conducting toxicity testing on sensitive aquatic species using site or simulated site water and comparing it to testing performed using lab dilution water. The WER procedure recognizes that the physical and chemical characteristics of site water can influence the toxicity of a chemical on aquatic life. On December 13, 2005, the City of Saint Marys submitted a final report on the confirmatory WER tests for copper, which were conducted in June and November 2005. Following review of their sampling protocol and study results, Environmental Protection Agency determined that the WER listed to follow is approvable, and can be used to modify the subject NPDES permit copper limit.
Alternate site specific criteria for copper have been developed by multiplying the fish and aquatic life copper criterion contained in Ch. 16, App. A., Table 1, by the following WER. The WER acts as a multiplier in the calculation of the NPDES permit limits for copper.
Facility Permit Number Receiving Stream Dissolved WER City of Saint Marys PA0026387 Elk Creek 4.45 The copper limitation has been removed, based on the site-specific criterion developed by means of the previous referenced WER process.
This change will affect the copper limits of the Saint Marys' discharge only.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 1
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.

08-00003F: CraftMaster Manufacturing, Inc. (P. O. Box 311, Towanda, PA 18848) for installation of two regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs); one to control the air contaminant emissions from the existing line I pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and one to control the air contaminant emissions from the existing line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers at the Towanda facility in Wysox Township, Bradford County. The control devices are proposed to be installed to reduce HAP emissions to comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD (National Emission Standards for HAPs: Plywood and Composite Wood Products). The plan approval application was also submitted to request the installation of two additional refiner reject cyclones on line I and line II to operate in parallel with the existing cyclones to improve air flow and particulate removal efficiency. The respective facility is a major facility for which a Title V operating permit (08-00003) has been issued. Potential emissions of NOx and CO are as specified in the conditions listed; potential increases in SOx and PM will be insignificant. VOC emission will decrease as a result of this installation. The de minimis emission increase in NOx emissions resulting from the RTOs, summed with the past net NOx emission increase exceeds the significant emission threshold for NOx emissions; CraftMaster must therefore purchase emission reduction credits, as specified herein, to offset the net emissions increase as specified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.203a, 127.205 and 127.210.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed RTOs and refiner reject cyclones will comply with all applicable requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available control technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the new source review requirements of Chapter 127, Subchapter E, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD and 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.13, 123.21, 123.31 and 123.41. Based on this finding, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed installations. Additionally, if the Department determines that the sources and the air cleaning devices are operating in compliance with the plan approval conditions, the conditions established in the plan approval will be incorporated into the operating permit by means of an administrative amendment under 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The Department proposes to place in the plan approval the following conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. Under the BAT provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the NOx and CO emissions from the line I RTO shall not exceed the following:
a) For NOx; 85 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 4.8 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
b) For CO; 250 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 8.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
2. Under the BAT provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the NOx and CO emissions from the line II RTO shall not exceed the following:
a) For NOx; 85 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 5.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
b) For CO; 250 ppmdv corrected to 3% oxygen and 9.9 tons in any 12-consecutive month period.
3. Under the emission reduction provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.207, the VOC emissions from the line I pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTO shall not exceed 7.4 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (as propane by Method 25A). This limit may be revised based on the results of the stack testing required in this plan approval.
4. Under the emission reduction provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 127.207, the VOC emissions from the line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTO shall not exceed 8.6 tons in any 12-consecutive month period (as propane by Method 25A). This limit may be revised based on the results of the stack testing required in this plan approval.
5. Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.13, no person may permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of PM from the exhaust of each RTO associated with the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers in a manner that the concentration of PM in the effluent gas exceeds 0.04 grain per dry standard cubic foot.
6. Under 25 Pa. Code § 123.21, no person may permit the emission into the outdoor atmosphere of SOx, expressed as SO2, from the exhaust of the each RTO associated with the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers in a manner that the concentration of the SOx in the effluent gas exceeds 500 parts per million, by volume, dry basis.
7. Each RTO shall only be fired on natural gas and/or propane/air mix.
8. Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.12(a)(3), the permittee shall install, operate and maintain a pressure monitoring device that shall accurately measure and record the pressure drop across each RTO media at least once every 15 minutes. This information shall be used to monitor material buildup and to take appropriate corrective action to prevent excessive material buildup on the RTO media. The records shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
9. Under 40 CFR 63.2269 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.12 (a)(3), the permittee shall install, operate and maintain a temperature monitoring device (two type K thermocouples as shown in the plan approval application) that shall accurately measure and record each RTO's combustion chamber temperature at least once every 15-minutes. The permittee shall comply with the installation, accuracy, inspection, maintenance, calibration and recordkeeping requirements specified in 40 CFR 63.2269(a) and (b) and the data availability requirements of 40 CFR 63.2270. Records shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
10. Under 40 CFR 63.2262(k) and 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the permittee shall monitor the RTOs' combustion chamber temperature during the stack testing required in this plan approval. The permittee shall establish a minimum combustion chamber temperature as the average of the three minimum 15-minute combustion chamber temperatures monitored during the three test runs. Additionally, the established minimum combustion chamber temperature shall assure compliance with the NOx and CO emission limits contained in this plan approval. The permittee shall maintain the 3-hour block average combustion chamber temperature above the minimum combustion chamber temperature established during stack testing. However, the minimum 3-hour block average combustion chamber temperature shall not be less than 1,550° F.
11. By October 1, 2009, the permittee shall perform stack testing on the line I and line II pressurized refiners and first stage dryers and associated RTOs to demonstrate compliance with the NOx, CO and VOC emission limitations contained in this plan approval. The permittee shall also perform stack testing to determine the total HAP emissions (ppmvd as carbon dry basis by Method 25A) from the refiners, dryers and associated RTOs, or that the total HAPs are being reduced by at least 90% by the RTOs.

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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Certified Emission Reduction Credits in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:
(1) To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements;
(2) To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities;
(3) To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.
The certified ERCs shown, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the over control of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency.
For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact the Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.

City of Lock Haven, Clinton CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6029.101--6020.1305), proposes to initiate a prompt interim response at two former Karnish Instruments Sites located in Lock Haven, Clinton County.
The sites of concern are two former Karnish Instruments, Inc. locations in the City of Lock Haven. Ron's Rental, located at 210 Third Avenue in Lock Haven, is in an area of mixed residential and commercial use. The second site is located at the corner of East Water and Proctor Streets at the Piper Airport in Lock Haven. Each site comprises approximately 0.5 acre. The Piper Airport location consists of a vacant lot and a concrete pad approximately 10 by 20 feet, which is all that remains of the former building. The Ron's Rental location consists of a two-story building that is approximately 70 by 90 feet which was in existence during Karnish Instrument's operation. The first story is a currently operating rental business while the second story contains four residential apartments.
These sites were used by Karnish Instruments to conduct repair and maintenance of aircraft instruments containing radium paint. According to the deeds, the property currently known as Ron's Rental was owned by Louis and Frances Karnish from October 1956 until June 1976. Karnish continued operating at the Ron's Rental site until approximately 1979. In 1982, through an Article of Agreement, Ron Myers, Sr. leased the building that is currently Ron's Rental to conduct business as a lawn equipment rental and repair shop. Myers took ownership of the building in 1996 and the business is currently operating at this location.
Soils in several areas outside of the building are contaminated with radium-226 to a depth of up to 8 feet. Multiple areas throughout the inside of the building are impacted with radium-226 in the concrete floor, the concrete block walls and the wooden floor on the second story. Additionally, due to the contamination of the building materials, radon is present at levels greater than the health and safety standards on both the first and second stories. At the Piper Airport location, isolated soil contamination was discovered adjacent to the concrete pad.
The Department's major objective in addressing these sites is to protect the public health and environment by eliminating the health threat posed by exposure to the radium and radon contamination through inhalation and direct contact.
To achieve this objective, the following alternatives were considered:
Alternative No. 1--No Further Action.
This action would be to conduct no further activities at the site leaving it in its current condition.
Alternative No. 2--Soil removal in exterior areas and ''surgical'' removal of contaminated building materials inside the structure at Ron's Rental.
This alternative involves the excavation of exterior contaminated soils at both the Piper Airport Site and the Ron's Rental Site. Additionally, contamination in the structure at the Ron's Rental Site would be ''surgically'' removed in identified hotspots found during site investigation. Removal would include contaminated areas of the concrete floor and walls on the first story, contaminated areas of the floor on the second story and removal of work benches containing surface contamination. Soil beneath the contaminated areas of the floor would be removed from accessible areas to an estimated depth of 4-feet. A final radiological site survey would be conducted.
Alternative No. 3--Soil removal in exterior areas and complete demolition of the structure at Ron's Rental.
Alternative 3 consists of excavation of contaminated soils at both the Piper Airport Site and the Ron's Rental Site. Additionally, the entire structure at Ron's Rental would be completely demolished, contaminated building debris would be segregated from noncontaminated debris, contaminated soils from beneath the structure would be removed and a final radiological site survey would be conducted.
The Department's preferred course of action is Alternative No. 3, Soil removal in exterior areas and complete demolition of the structure at Ron's Rental. This was determined to be the response that is the most cost effective, permanent and protective of human health and the environment.

Montoursville, PA 17754Testing Bureau of Deep Mine Safety Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BMS) has approved AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC's request for a variance from the requirements of section 319 of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Madison Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BMS web site at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
Summary of the Request: AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC requests a variance regarding a permanent pumping facility at the Madison Mine.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The section of the statute, written many years ago, which incorporated the technology of that time, required permanent pumps to be housed in an incombustible housing so that if a fire occurred, it could be contained until found or it burnt itself out in the structure.
2. When the law was written, DC power was the primary power source for pumping systems and was a significant source of fire since DC power systems did not provide the circuit protection provided by a modern properly installed and maintained AC power system.
3. As the mines modernized in the mid 1970s, most DC power was eliminated and replaced with AC power.
4. This Investigating Committee believes that very few if any documented fires have occurred at a properly installed and maintained AC pumping station.
5. CO monitoring systems have proven to be a very dependable fire protection system which provides early warning of any fire so it can promptly be investigated and the fire source abated before a fire has a chance to spread.
Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in your enclosed plan and the following conditions.
1. The pump installation will be continuously monitored with a Pyott Boone CO monitoring system.
2. The pump installation will have automatic fire protection provided by a Pyott Boone Model 229/50 ABC Dry Powder Chemical System or equivalent.
Bureau of Deep Mine Safety Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BMS) has approved Eighty Four Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 290(d) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Mine No. 84. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BMS web site at www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
Summary of the Request: Eighty Four Mining Company requests a variance to reduce the number of mains in the 10B corridor area at the Mine No. 84.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. Mine 84 has a lot of experience with 3 entry development and the Bureau of Mine Safety has extensive experience regulating it. Based upon that experience, it is our professional judgment that this composite approach is at least as safe as installing the four main entries required by the statute.
2. Longwall mines have successfully ventilated three entry systems for distances up to 12,000 feet.
3. The Mowl fan will ventilate the development of the 10 B longwall panel. It currently exhausts 381,000 cfm at 15.2" water gauge.
4. An enhanced and expanded CO monitoring system will enhance escapability through the variance area by providing early warning to those working in the area. The monitored area will include the track entry as well as the belt entry.
Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the enclosed plan and the following conditions.
1. All unused crosscuts through the variance area must have adequate ground to roof support placed on both entrances in line with the entry rib. Additional supplemental support will be installed throughout the area as required.
2. The dispatcher should be notified prior to mining commencing in the variance area.
