Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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 listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

46-0024F: McNeil Consumer Healthcare (7050 Camp Hill Road, Fort Washington, PA 19034) for installation of a new tablet coating pan and associated dust collector, reactivation of the Glatt 15 Fluid Bed Processor (Source ID 139), and reconfiguration of existing dust collectors at the existing pharmaceutical facility located in Whitemarsh Township, Montgomery County, PA. The Fort Washington facility has the potential to exceed the Philadelphia Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area minor source thresholds for each Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), and Volatile Organic Compound (VOC), and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions. The facility restricts VOCs and NOx to less than 25 tons per year each, and PM to less than 100; therefore the plant is categorized as a Synthetic Minor Facility. The projected increase in total facility wide PM emissions is well below 1.0 tpy, the projected increase in total facility wide VOC emissions is 4.85 tpy, the projected increase in total facility wide Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions is 1.55 tpy; however, the facility will remain a synthetic minor with this project.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times.
In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
* The parameter is applicable at all times.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation-Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must 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 or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for Coverage under General NPDES Permits. The approval for coverage under these General NPDES Permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions in each General Permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions in the respective permit. The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY PERMITS The Department has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1—721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 document to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Wastewater from the project area will be conveyed, via a new gravity interceptor, to a connection point located in the Sutton Hills area of Jackson Township as shown on the Module's plot plan. From this connection point, wastewater from the project area will flow through the existing Jackson Township Wastewater Collection/Conveyance System to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority's (DAMA) Main Pumping Station. The project area's wastewater will then be conveyed through DAMA's conveyance system to the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority's (WVSA) conveyance system at its Loveland Pump Station with conveyance to the WVSA Wastewater Treatment Facility through force mains and gravity interceptor lines owned and operated by WVSA as shown in the drawings found in the Module. No modifications of the DAMA or WVSA wastewater conveyance facilities will be required to facilitate the conveyance of the project area's wastewater from Jackson Township to the WVSA Wastewater Treatment Facility. Treatment of the project area's wastewater will occur at WVSA's Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Hanover Township, Luzerne County. Treated wastewater will be ultimately discharged to the Susquehanna River.
Financing of the project's proposed wastewater collection and conveyance systems is to be provided by the Township through a private bank loan and through capital contributions from each of the property owners to be serviced by the proposed wastewater collection system.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P. S. §§ 750.1—750.20(a) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold Jackson Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Module's selected wastewater disposal alternative as listed in the Module's Project Narrative and its corresponding schedule of implementation.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Module and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response
Oreville Quarry Site, Longswamp Township,
Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102—6020.1303) (HSCA) is proposing an interim response at the Oreville Quarry Site.
The site is a former iron ore quarry located on Old Topton Road in Longswamp Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Groundwater serving residential wells has been found to be contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, also referred to as perchloroethylene, or PCE. The Department conducted a prompt interim response at this site in August 2003 to provide and maintain individual water treatment units to eight impacted residences. This action was taken to protect public health and safety. For the last three years semi-annual sampling results for water supply wells have been below the safe drinking water Maximum Contaminant Level of 5 ppb for PCE. The Department will give the residents the option of retaining and maintaining their treatment system or have the Department remove the system.
Deteriorated drums have been identified in the western portion of the former iron ore quarry, several of which were partially filled with waste. Arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead, and nickel in the contaminated soil constitute an open exposure pathway for dermal contact and ingestion. The proposed response for the site includes the removal of visible drums and debris, the installation of a soil cover, the application of environmental covenants restricting property use, as well as the installation of a gate on the access road to limit access. These measures will provide overall, long-term protection to human health and the environment, comply with a site specific cleanup standard, and be a cost effective response.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record, which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Elise Juers at 717.705.4852. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Longswamp Township Office located at 1112 State Street, Mertztown, PA 19539 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by calling 610. 682.7388.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on June 30, 2012, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before September 28, 2012, by mailing them to Elise Juers, Project Manager at the Regional Office address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for August 2, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at the Longswamp Township Office located at 1112 State Street, Mertztown, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4:00 p.m., July 31, 2012 by calling Elise Juers at 717.705.4852. There will be an informational presentation of the investigations conducted at the site and the Department's planned activities prior to the hearing.
Persons with a disability, who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Elise Juers at 717 705.4852 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800.654.5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Irish Creek Watershed in Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Irish Creek Watershed in Berks County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Irish Creek Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

(lbs./yr.)TMDL
(lbs./day)Percent
ReductionSediment 10,176,247 27,880 7,571,042 20,743 25.6%
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDLs and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the proposed TMDLs contact Bill Brown, Chief, TMDL Development Section, Bureau of Point and Nonpoint Source Management, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774, 717-783-2951, willbrown@pa.gov
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
