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 Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW 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.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. 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 the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

(4101 Post Road, Trainer, PA 19061-3812) for installation and modification of an Alkylation unit and associated equipment at their Trainer facility in Trainer Borough, Delaware County. This facility is a Title V facility. This installation and modification will result in minor emission increases. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain recordkeeping requirements and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
09-0209: Univar USA Inc., (4 Steel Road East, Morrisville, PA 19067) a Plan Approval application for an existing liquid organic chemical transfer and repackaging facility consisting of storage tanks along with bulk loading stations, rail unloading stations and drum loading stations in Morrisville, Bucks County.

54-310-046: HMMK, LLC--d/b/a Foster Materials (6100 Easton Road, Pipersville, PA 18947) for modification and operation of a stone crushing plant at their facility in Foster Township, Schuylkill County. The company will modify the existing stone crushing plant by replacing one existing tertiary crusher (HIS) with a VSI tertiary crusher controlled by a baghouse and addition of a product screen. The company will continue use the wet suppression system to control the particulate emissions from the operations. Expected total particulate from the baghouse will be less than 0.014 gr/dscf. The use of baghouse for VSI tertiary crusher and water sprays for other plan equipment to the extent that the operation will have no fugitive emissions would constitute the BAT for this type of sources. NSPS Subpart (OOO) is applicable to this plant equipment and the company will comply with the requirements. The company will operate the facility and maintain the sources in accordance with the good engineering practices to assure proper operation of sources. The Plan Approval and Operating permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
35-322-010: Alliance Sanitary Landfill, Inc. (398 South Keyser Avenue, Taylor, PA 18517) for installation and operation of one 6,000-scfm capacity enclosed flare, one 3,300-scfm capacity enclosed flare and one 500-scfm capacity open flare to provide redundant capacity for the combustion of landfill gas at their site in Taylor and Old Forge Boroughs and Ransom Township, Lackawanna County. The proposed flare systems will provide sufficient combustion capacity and backup flare capacity to destroy all of the landfill gas generated over the life of the landfill. The installation of the flares are intended to provide sufficient capacity for combustion of landfill gas from the existing Area I and Area II sites of landfill. This action does not represent any additional waste being introduced into the landfill, or an expansion of the landfill, merely the installation of control devices. No additional gas is being generated since the gas generation is based on the size and volume of the landfill. The company has proposed no other changes. Alliance Sanitary Landfill is a major facility subject to Title V permitting requirements and is located. The VOC emissions from the landfill will be controlled by enclosed landfill gas flares and will continued to be less than 50 tpy. The Plan Approval and Operating Permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be 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 Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application 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 § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall 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. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Notice of Proposed Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Herceg Landfill Site Bushkill and Upper Nazareth Townships, Northampton County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is proposing an interim response action at the Herceg Landfill Site (Site). This response will be undertaken under sections 505(b) and (c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) and (c). The Site is located along Levis and Gower Roads in Bushkill and Upper Nazareth Townships, Northampton County.
From the 1950s to March 1981, the Site operated as an unpermitted, unlined municipal waste landfill. The landfill covers approximately 16 acres of a property of about 27 acres in a rural area straddling the borders of Bushkill and Upper Nazareth Townships. From October 1997 through July 2008, the Department has conducted private well sampling surrounding the Site at 13 locations over the years Trace to low levels of VOCs have been detected in these residential wells except for one well location which has had benzene detected near or slightly above the MCL of 5.0 ppb. A water treatment unit (carbon filtration) has been installed at this location since February 2005. A site investigation was conducted by the Department between 2005 and 2008. This site investigation included an aerial photograph review, surface water and sediment sampling, the installation of monitoring wells (18), geophysical investigation, groundwater sampling, soil gas sampling, aquifer testing, fate and transport analysis and remedial alternative feasibility testing. The Department has determined that the landfill is the source of the VOC contamination in groundwater and residential wells. Other compounds detected in onsite monitoring wells and offsite private wells include the following: ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, 1,2,4 trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5 trimethylbenzene, 1,1 dichloroethane, chlorobenzene, chloroethane, 1,1,1 trichloroethane, trichloroethene and naphthalene. There is no public water supply servicing the area of the Site and residents rely on private water supply wells. The closet public water supply lines are located approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile east and southwest from the Site. However, the locations of several residences are located over 100` upslope from any potential waterline extension and hook-up to this service would be difficult to install because of the distance, topography and the presence of shallow bedrock. The Site has an NPDES permit, PA-0070394, for discharge of landfill leachate and groundwater to a UNT of the East Branch of the Monacacy Creek. This wastewater is collected into two connected ponds or lagoons at the northern toe of the landfill. The discharge has been consistently above the discharge limit for ammonia, but levels have been reduced significantly with the addition of two aerators in the upper pond in July 2008. The Department is operating and maintaining the aerators and is monitoring the discharge levels for ammonia.
The objective of this proposed interim response is to: 1) prevent exposure to benzene and the other site-related contaminants of concern through ingestion and dermal contact; and 2) reduce the ammonia concentrations being discharged to the tributary. The Department evaluated several alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) No Action.
2) Monitored Natural Attenuation.
3) Environmental Covenant/Institutional Controls/Access Restrictions.
4) Soil/Waste Excavation.
5) Surface Barrier/Landfill Cap.
6) Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) System Installation.
7) Groundwater extraction and treatment.
8) Leachate Lagoon Monitoring and Maintenance.
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements, feasibility, permanence and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected a combination of Alternatives 2, 3, 6 and 8 as the proposed interim response for the Site. This action will involve the continued monitoring of private wells potentially impacted by the landfill and the installation of POET systems on existing potable water supply wells found to be above the Residential Statewide Health Standards and the safe drinking water standards. In addition, onsite monitoring wells will be sampled for monitored natural attenuation to determine if natural processes such as bioremediation, dilution and dispersion, sorption and volatilization are treating the groundwater. The Department would implement institutional controls by placing property restrictions (that is, fence and gates, deed restrictions) that prevent the use of onsite groundwater for drinking water purposes without proper pretreatment and prevent site disturbance. Finally, the Department would monitor and maintain the wastewater lagoon area.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Bushkill Township Municipal Building, 1114 Bushkill Center Road, Nazareth, PA 18064 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 6, 2009, to September 4, 2009. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Ronald Schock, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for July 15, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. at the Bushkill Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the proposed interim response, which involves the protection from onsite groundwater contamination and treatment of landfill leachate. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the July 15, 2009, hearing regarding this interim response regarding the contaminated groundwater should register with Ronald Schock before July 10, 2009, at (610) 861-2070 or in writing to Ronald Schock at the Department's Bethlehem District Office. If no person registers to present oral comments by the date specified previously, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the July 15, 2009, hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Ronald Schock or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Request For Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Watershed of Ross Run
in Indiana CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Watershed of Ross Run in Indiana County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this watershed are listed in Pennsylvania's Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to siltation resulting from agricultural activities.
Impairments were addressed by establishing a TMDL of sediment. There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of sediment in the Watershed of Ross Run. Sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories (nonpoint sources) present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact: Joe Boylan at joboylan@state.pa.us or 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
The Department will consider all comments when developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by July 12, 2009. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2009, at 6 p.m. at the Marion Center Community Park Building, 22823 Route 403 Highway North, Marion Center, PA 15759.
