LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 1
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--304 and 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 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)(l)(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 as 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.

AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor 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.
Notice is hereby given that 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 to schedule an appointment.
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 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Preliminary Determination to Issue Air Quality Plan Approval No. 06-05100; Public Hearing CPN Berks LLC has submitted an application to the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for construction of a turbine electric generating facility. The proposed facility is to be located in Ontelaunee Township, Berks County, along the east side of PA Route 61, 1 mile north of the intersection of US Route 222 and Pa. Route 61.
The proposed facility will generate up to 544 megawatts of electricity for sale to the local electrical utilities. The primary fuel will be natural gas. The major components of the facility are:
(a) Two Siemens-Westinghouse 501F gas combustion turbines (182 MW each)
(b) Two un-fired heat recovery steam generators (HRSG)
(c) Steam turbine electric generator (180 MW)
(d) Mechanical draft cooling tower with mist eliminators
(e) Two Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) control devices
(f) Stand-by Diesel Generator (127 kW) (Fire Pump) and storage tank.
The proposed turbines will exhaust through two 175-foot stacks with emissions monitoring systems for each turbine. The stack height meets the EPA good engineering practice (GEP) stack height requirement. A modeling analysis was conducted for CO, NOx, SO2, and PM10. The modeling used 5 years of meteorological data collected by the National Weather Service and the EPA-approved ISCST3 model. The model indicated that none of the emissions from turbines will have a significant impact on the surrounding area. Additional analyses were performed to assess the proposed facility's impact on soils, vegetation and visibility in the area and the closest Class I Area. The predicted impacts from all modeled pollutants fell within the allowable concentration levels.
The following table summarizes the potential emissions from maximum operation of the facility according to the applications submitted and the Department's analysis:
Pollutant tons/year Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) 212 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) 49 Carbon Monoxide (CO) 438 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 91 Particulate Matter (TSP/PM-10) 99 Ammonia 266 A number of trace elements are also expected to be present at less than detectable levels in the turbine exhaust. These insignificant emissions are largely due to very minor concentrations of naturally occurring metals in the fuel and the combining of water vapor with SO2.
The plan approval will contain the following conditions to ensure compliance with the noted regulations:

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northcentral Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-0530.
Location: Lamar Township, Clinton County.
Project Description: Previous Act 537 planning called for the construction of a new gravity sewage collection system to serve the Village of Mackeyville in Lamar Township. The new approved update revision calls for construction instead of a grinder pump, low pressure sewage collection system to serve the Village and surrounding areas of Lamar Township. Wastewater collected from the Mackeyville area will be conveyed to the north and east over a ridge and into a new gravity collection line at Salona. The Mackeyville and Salona collection system work will be part of a larger regional project to be constructed by the East Nittany Valley Joint Municipal Authority to provide service to Mackeyville and other areas of Lamar Township as well as portions of Porter Township, Clinton County and Walker Township, Centre County. Treatment of the collected wastewater from the new regional collection system will occur at the existing wastewater treatment facility in the City of Lock Haven.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Middletown Township, Bucks County Cameron-Saba Site The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is issuing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began an interim response action on August 6, 1999, at the Cameron-Saba Site (Site), located in Middletown Township, Bucks County. The Site is bounded on the north by the West Trenton rail line (formerly of the Reading Railroad) of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), on the east by the eastern boundaries of residential properties with private wells, on the south by Neshaminy Creek, and on the west by the Lincoln Highway. The Site has a plume of contaminated groundwater affecting a number of private wells that supply water for domestic use at several residences. To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an interim response action at the Site under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The contaminants of concern at this site include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), pesticides and inorganic compounds, that were detected in concentrations above applicable or relevant and appropriate Pennsylvania standards in home wells, surface water or sediment. Approximately 100 wells are currently known to be affected or threatened by the contamination.
The Department is providing bottled water to affected residences, to minimize the exposure to and threat from the contaminants.
A separate action is planned to investigate the source of the contamination.
The Department has considered three alternative responses:
Alternative 1) No Action: The ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be compared. If the Department selects the ''No Action'' alternative, the actual and potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site would remain the same.
Alternative 2) Carbon Filtration: Carbon Filtration is not a permanent solution and would require many years of ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
Alternative 3) Connection to a Public Water Supply: This alternative would be a permanent solution, which would address all threats posed by the contaminants of concern at the Site.
In evaluating these alternatives, the Department considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and environment, and the alternative's ability to meet applicable or relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs). The Department also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the alternatives. The Department finds that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department proposes alternative 3, connection to a public water supply, based on its preference for a permanent solution. In respect of the permanence of the alternative, a public water connection is preferable to carbon filtration of individual wells.
The Department's proposed alternative, connection to a public water supply, is protective of public health and the environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and cost-effective.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact David Ewald at (610) 832-6200 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Middletown Township Municipal Building at 2140 Trenton Road.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of HSCA for September 20, 2000, at 7 p.m. at the Middletown Township Municipal Building at 2140 Trenton Road. Persons that want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the September 20 meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann at the telephone number listed above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 564-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed interim response action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment, which will run from the date of this notice through September 30, 2000. Written comments should be addressed to David Ewald, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed above.
Individuals with questions concerning this notice should contact David Ewald at (610) 832-6200.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response Reach Road Industrial Park Groundwater Contamination Williamsport, Lycoming County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Reach Road Industrial Park Groundwater Contamination Site. This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)). The Site is located in the Newberry section of Williamsport.
After several sampling events during the summer/fall of 1999, the Department became aware that wide-spread Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) contamination exists in the soil/groundwater around Reading Avenue, Mosser Avenue Extension, Catawissa Avenue and a section of Reach Road. More specifically, there are eight known residential dwellings/businesses that have concentrations of Trichloroethylene (TCE) and/or Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in their groundwater supply wells that currently exceed the Pennsylvania Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2), Medium-Specific Concentrations for drinking water for those compounds. All residences in the area were immediately offered bottled water, paid for by the Department.
Once it was learned that a wide-spread VOC plume existed, the Department decided on a two-prong approach; fund the expansion of the municipal water distribution system throughout the affected area, and conduct a VOC source identification study. This response, removing the threat pathway with bottled/public water and attempting to identify how and where the contamination occurred, is a typical and practical approach to these types of environmental situations. The source identification study and water distribution project are ongoing.
Given the nature of the wide-spread groundwater contamination, connecting the affected and potentially affected businesses and residences to public water is the only long-term, permanent solution to eliminate the threats associated with the contamination. Connecting the affected and potentially affected homes/businesses to the public water system would permanently eliminate the human health threats associated with the contamination, and ensure that the area has a stable, safe, source of water. The water main was designed and is being constructed by the Williamsport Water Authority, and a qualified plumber will accomplish the plumbing. The cost of this project is estimated to be approximately $133,000 and is being funded by the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) Fund.
If any subsequent investigations identify a source area and a responsible party, the Department will work with them to achieve a standard in accordance with the provisions of Act 2, which dictates the procedures to be followed for any voluntary or required remediation.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 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 in the Department's file room located at 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA, and is available for review. To schedule a review time, contact the Department file room coordinator, Kathy Arndt, at (570) 327-3693.
The administrative record will be open for comment from July 3 until October 3, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending them to Kevin Kroculick, PADEP, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, or by delivering them to this 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 August 7, 2000, at 7 p.m. The hearing will be conducted in the Goddard Room of the Department's office building in Williamsport. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Kevin Kroculick before July 21, 2000, by telephone at (570) 327-3728 or in writing, at the above address. If no person registers to present oral comments, by the date specified above, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should contact Kevin Kroculick.
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 Kevin Kroculick or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
