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 remedia-tion 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.

Northcentral Region: Air Quality Program, 208 West Third Street, Williamsport, PA 17701, David Aldenderfer, Program Manager, (570) 327-3637.
47-00010: Kurt Weiss Danville, LLC, (223 PPL Road, Danville, PA 17821) for the renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a greenhouse facility in Anthony and Derry Townships, Montour County.
The facility incorporates nine No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers (with rated heat inputs of 13.86, 13.86, 2.888, 2.888, 7.201, 6.276, 10.758, 4.18 and 5.675 mmBtu/hr, respectively) and 160 No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters, each of which has a rated heat input of .4 mmBtu/hr.
The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 21.6 tons of SOx, 15.0 tons of NOx, 4.65 tons of PM/PM10, 3.75 tons of CO, .15 ton of VOCs and .05 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 47-00010. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 47-00010 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of monthly inspections of the facility to detect the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of the results of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at the facility do not emit fugitive air contaminants and are unlikely to emit visible air contaminants or malodorous air contaminants except under equipment malfunction conditions which would be likely to be detected, and corrected, long before the once per month inspection would be performed.
2. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been changed to exempt malfunctions which are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contaminant emission limitation or are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, noncompliance with a permit condition.
3. Conditions requiring the permittee to perform an annual tune-up on most of the facility's boilers, and maintain records of these tune-ups, have been removed from the permit as such requirements are overly burdensome for No. 2 fuel oil-fired boilers of the size of the facility's boilers.
4. Conditions requiring most of the facility's boilers to be operated at least 5 hours each year at a minimum of 75% of maximum operating capacity, and the maintenance of records of the hours of operation and the % capacity for each boiler, are being removed from the permit as the Department has determined that it does not have the authority to establish such requirements.
5. 160 No. 2 fuel oil-fired space heaters, which exist at the facility but which were not previously incorporated in the permit, have been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.22 SOx emission limitation and restricting the fuel fired in the space heaters to No. 2 fuel oil and gas (natural or LP).

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection 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, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. 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.

The proposed Sam Brown Subdivision consists of three new residential building lots proposing individual onlot sewage disposal systems and a residual lot containing two existing dwellings with individual onlot sewage disposal systems. The plan was disapproved because the consulting hydrogeologist for the project concluded that the background nitrogen concentration under the site precludes the use of conventional onlot sewage disposal systems and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) failed to receive the information requested for the use of Department permitted individual spray irrigation systems to overcome the nitrate issues as specified in its letter of February 6, 2008.

The property was also used as a transfer station for a sewage hauling business. This property is unfenced. Results of samples taken of the surface soil located within the Site indicate contamination above the Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act for lead, PCBs, antimony, zinc, naphthalene, 1,3,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and heptachlor. Most of the scrap material at the Site has been remove, however there is a concern that this unfenced property is attracting nearby residents, including children, as a walking/play area potentially exposing them to contaminated soil.
The objective and scope of the interim response is the cleanup of contamination related to the scrap yard. Contaminated soil will be excavated and properly disposed. If needed, clean soil will be used to cover any depressions that remain as a result of the clean up work.
The following alternatives were evaluated: (1) no action; (2) install a chain-link fence around scrap yard; and (3) cleanup and dispose of contaminated soil. The selected alternative is number three. This alternative was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements to the greatest extent compared to the other alternatives and is the most cost effective.
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 this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Pittsburgh Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA15222 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m..
