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, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department 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.

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 these 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 the 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. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

(1801 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1699) for installation of an air cleaning device, a vapor combustion unit, on two existing tank truck fuel loading racks at the Northumberland Terminal in Point Township, Northumberland County. The application also requests approval to construct a combined total of two gasoline loading arms and one distillate fuel loading arm on the respective loading racks.
The Northumberland Terminal is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit (No. 49-00019) has been issued. The installation of the vapor combustion unit will replace two existing vapor recovery units. Up to 49.26, 11.21, 7.94 and 4.46 tons of VOCs, carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants and nitrogen oxides, respectively, will be emitted in any 12 consecutive month period as a result of loading gasoline.
The Department's review of the information contained in the application indicates that the proposed construction of additional loading arms and installation of the vapor combustion unit on the two existing loading racks will meet all applicable air quality requirements including the VOC emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 129.59 and the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 (which have applicability because the vapor combustion unit constitutes an ''air contamination source'' in addition to being an ''air cleaning device''). Based on this finding, the Department intends to approve the application and issue a plan approval to construct the additional loading arms and install the proposed vapor combustion unit on the respective loading racks.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1. At no time shall the operation of the loading racks result in the emission of 0.0668 pound (30.3 grams) of gasoline (measured as propane) for every 100 gallons of gasoline loaded.
2. Within 90 days of the completion of installation of the vapor combustion unit, VOC stack testing shall be performed which demonstrates compliance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.59.
3. At no time shall any gasoline loading occur without the simultaneous operation of the vapor combustion unit.
4. The nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide emissions from the respective vapor combustion unit shall not exceed 4 or 10 milligrams per liter of product loaded, respectively, nor shall the emissions of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide exceed 4.46 and 11.21 tons, respectively, in any 12 consecutive month period.
5. The amount of gasoline and distillate fuels loaded using the two loading racks shall not exceed 270, 023 and 260 million gallons, respectively, per 12 consecutive month period.

WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATIONS Northwest Region: Water Management Program Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.
Certification Request initiated by Reliant Energy Mid-Atlantic Power Holdings, LLC (REMA), 1001 Broad Street, P. O. Box 1050, Johnstown, PA 15907-1050. Piney Hydroelectric Project (FERC Project No. 309-PA), in Piney Township, Clarion County, ACOE Pittsburgh District (Clarion, PA Quadrangle N: 12.125 inches; W: 8.125 inches).
Project description: REMA has requested a Section 401 State Water Quality Certification for the operation of the Piney Hydroelectric Project (Project) near the Borough of Clarion in Clarion County. This request supercedes a previous Certification Request published at 31 Pa.B. 1406 (March 10, 2001). The Project currently operates as a peaking/load-regulating dam with restrictions on the summer and winter impoundment drawdown levels and minimum conservation releases. Under the current mode of operation, water is released from the Project during periods of power generation and when the storage capacity of the reservoir is exceeded. Minimum conservation releases of 100 cfs from May 1 to October 31 and two 4-hour blocks of 500 cfs from November 1 to April 30 are also provided during periods of nongeneration. REMA proposes modifying the current mode of Project operation by operating in a run-of-river (ROR) mode from April 1 to June 20 annually. Under ROR operation, reservoir levels would be held constant and Project releases would approximately equal Project inflow at all times with no peaking or pulsing. Conservation releases would be increased to 158 cfs from June 21 to October 31 and certain additional water releases would be provided to enhance summer drift-boating opportunities. REMA also requests authorization to lower reservoir pool levels by 1 additional foot in the summer to enhance electricity generation capabilities. Project operation would remain essentially unchanged during the rest of the year.

SPECIAL NOTICES
BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Genesis, Inc.'s request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Genesis No. 17 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 at (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau's website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: Genesis, Inc. requested a variance from section 242(c) of the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Genesis No. 17 Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The plan provides for an advanced fire detection and control system consisting of CO monitors and a fire suppression system.
2. The plan provides a separate intake escapeway that will be isolated from the belt conveyor entries. The isolated intake escapeway will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. The 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. Safer access is provided to workers performing repair and maintenance work in the belt entry. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) of the act requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) of the act shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the plan and the following conditions:
1. Operation, maintenance and calibration of the Pyott-Boone's CO Monitor System shall comply with the manufacturer's recommendation and the Department equipment approval number BOTE 1070-89.
2. The mine operator shall comply with the Mine Safety and Health Administration's approved Fire Fighting and Evacuation Plan.
3. The mine foreman shall notify the Department District Mine Inspector when the point CO monitor system has been installed.
4. The designated surface person responsible for responding to alarms from the CO monitor system should be task trained in the procedures utilized for notifying all affected mine personnel should an alarm occur.
5. The investigating committee shall confirm that the intake escapeway is maintained at a higher pressure than the belt conveyor entry and commons entries.
6. A test button should be installed to allow a daily function check of the pole-mounted alarm system.
7. The pole-mounted visual warning device located on the surface should be a revolving strobe that is clearly visible to the loader operator under all conditions.
8. The pole-mounted audio alarm located on the surface should be noticeably different from back up alarms currently in use on the property and clearly noticeable to the loader operator.
9. Verification by the Department District Mine Inspector that the plan is implemented according to the mine operator's submitted plan and this approval.

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 may 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 to 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 decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge this 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 document 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 plan revision is a public document and may be viewed at the Department Regional Office previously noted.
