    DISCHARGE OF CONTROLLED INDUSTRIAL WASTE AND SEWERAGE WASTEWATER

    (Part I Permits)

       The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge controlled wastewaters into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated, on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain effluent limitations and special conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative.

       Where indicated, the EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.

       Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the office noted above the application within 30 days from the date of this public notice.

    Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

    Non-Major 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.

       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.

       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. 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 to 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.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order
    and Agreement

    Department of
    Environmental Protection

    Shaler/JTC Site

    Bruin Borough, Butler County

       Under Section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Chase Corporation (Chase) concerning the Shaler/JTC site (site). The site is located in Bruin Borough, Butler County, PA.

       As the result of past operations and possible waste disposal activities, hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, groundwater and sediments at the site, as well as other media in tanks, drums, vats and buildings at the site. The Department has incurred approximately $7 million in response costs at the site. However, the Department has determined that Chase is a de minimis settlor, based upon the Department's determination that: the amount of hazardous substances contributed by Chase is minimal compared to the amount of the other hazardous substances at the site; the toxic or other hazardous effects of these hazardous substances are minimal compared to the effects of the other hazardous substances at the site; and these hazardous substances have caused and will cause only a minor portion of the response costs at the site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a de minimis financial settlement with Chase to, among other things, pay $259,468 to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. The specifics of the Department's de minimis settlement with Chase are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement.

       The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlement with Chase if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Chase shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.

       Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at both the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA, and at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Harold Nye, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Harold Nye at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.
