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 any 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, or 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Plan Location:
Borough or Borough or Township Address Township County North Codorus Township R. D. 1 Box 1102, Spring Grove, PA 17362 York County Plan Description: This Official Plan revision, Colonial Crossings (A3-67946-247-3), is for a 53-lot subdivision consisting of 400 residential units comprised of apartments, duplexes, townhouses and single-family dwellings, as well as a neighborhood commercial center, swimming pool and clubhouse. The project site is on 115 acres and is located along the south and east sides of Noss Road, approximately 500 feet east of Joseph Road in North Codorus Township, York County. Total estimated sewage flows are 144,350 gpd to be served by an existing, privately owned sewage treatment plant. Ultimately, the sewage is to be treated at a proposed municipal sewage treatment plant that has not yet received planning approval.
Since the existing treatment plant has a capacity of only 100,000 gpd, the plan was disapproved because the proposed municipal treatment plant has not received planning approval and is not a viable ultimate means of sewage disposal at this moment. In addition, the operation and maintenance responsibilities of the existing treatment plant have not been addressed.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Conneaut Creek Drum Site
Conneautville Borough, Crawford CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has completed a prompt interim response at the Conneaut Creek Drum Site (site). The site is located in Conneautville Borough, Crawford County, PA. The site consists of a parcel of property with a dwelling used for residential housing. Specifically, the site is oriented in the backyard of the property and covers an area of about 60 square feet. The site is on the northeast bank of the active stream channel of Conneaut Creek. Two barrels and their contents were partially exposed on the stream bank, approximately four feet above the mean stream level.
The Department became aware of the site as the result of a public complaint on August 31, 1999. The Department completed an initial investigation and preliminary sampling on September 9, 1999. The results of the initial investigation verified the complaint and the presence of a hazardous substance. Further investigation and sampling was completed February 29, 2000, which indicated that the drums contained hazardous substances, namely lead and volatile organic compounds. The material in the drums and nearby soils may have been dried lead-based paint.
The origin of the waste and drums and how they came to be located at the site, are unknown. The current and past owners of the site have stated that they were not aware of the waste and drums, prior to the beginning of the Department's investigation.
The main objectives for the prompt interim response at the site were:
1) protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact, ingestion and inhalation risks associated with the hazardous substances in contaminated soils and wastes; and
2) eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from the wastes and contaminated soils at the site.
The Department considered two alternatives for the prompt interim response at the site:
Alternative 1
A ''No Action'' alternative provided a baseline for comparison to other alternatives. Because no action would be implemented, any present or future risks to human health, safety or the environment would remain unchanged.
Alternative 2
This Alternative involved the excavation and disposal of drums containing waste, wastes outside of drums and contaminated soils at an off-site facility. Following the excavation and removal of the drums, waste and contaminated soils, the site was restored to pre-response conditions.
The Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response at the site. Alternative 2 was selected because it does, in the most cost effective manner, protects the public and environmental receptors from the risks associated with the hazardous substances at the site. The completed cost of this response was approximately $15,000.
This notice is being provided under Section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 9, 2001 until September 7, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to the site Project Manager, Ronald Lybrook, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may submit oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department will schedule a hearing between July 9, 2001 and August 8, 2001, if requested by one or more members of the public. Persons wishing to present comments at a hearing must register with the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Freda Tarbell before June 25, 2001 by telephone at (814) 332-6945 or in writing to the Northwest Regional Office. If no person requests to present oral comments by the date specified above, a hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered and if a hearing will be held, should contact Freda Tarbell at the telephone number previously noted.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Freda Tarbell at the telephone number noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

94110: Sunoco Inc., R & M (3144 Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19145) on May 23, 2001, to modify Permit Condition No. 2 and to remove Permit Condition No. 3 from the previous installation permit issued on May 9, 1994, for their facility in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. Permit Condition No. 2 shall now read: ''The operation of the Marine Vapor Collection and Control System (MVCACS) is limited to 2,500 barrels per hour.'' Previous language read: ''The operation of the MVCACS is limited to 2,500 barrels per hour and 2,200 hours per year.'' The language ''2,200 hours per year'' has been removed from the permit. Permit Condition No. 3 has been removed from the permit which previously read ''The Volatile Organic Compound emission from the operation of the MVCACS shall not exceed 12 tons per year.'' The 12 ton per year VOC limit and the 2,200 hours of operation per year limit were able to be removed from the installation permit because they were originally placed in the installation permit to account for 22 tons of Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) as a result of over-control between 90% (per Pennsylvania rule) and 98% (combustion in boilers and heaters.) Since the ERCs were never officially banked, the limits can be removed.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Bureau of Deep Mine Safety
Approval of Request for VarianceThe Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS), has approved DLR Mining, Inc.'s request for a revision to its 702 variance from the requirements of Section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act that was approved on January 29, 1999, for the Ridge 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 Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: DLR Mining, Inc. requested a modification to its approved carbon monoxide (CO) alarm system. The modified CO alarm system will activate an alarm, both audible and visual, at a location on the surface where a responsible person will be on duty and at the working section loading point. The proposal accords protection to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of Section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following conclusion:
1. Ridge's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) mine wide monitoring system. The system will notify the affected mining sections with an audible and visual alarm. The system will communicate to the computer control station located on the surface. An outside employee can then notify the affected areas via the mine communication system.
2. Ridge's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. Ridge's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in Section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of Section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Ridge's plan.
