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 AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

E. on behalf of Andrew Ruskay and Anthony Wilson, ACR Machine, Inc., 21 North 10th Street, Coatesville, PA 19320 has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate. Site contamination is associated with a 1.1-acre former above-grade farm disposal area containing primarily glass, metal and ash mixed with soils.

The intended future use of the property is residential.
The Former Namico Plant, City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. Paul Martino, P. G., Pennoni Associates, Inc., 3001 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102 has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate. Soil and groundwater at the site have been impacted by inorganics, PAH and other organics. The future use of land is for residential use.

Marvil, EMSOURCE St. Marys LLC, 111 Commercial St., Suite 400, P. O. Box 17914, Portland, ME 04112-7914, has submitted a Notice of Intent to Remediate. The site will be addressed by application of the Background Standard and pathway elimination under the Site-Specific Standard. Soil contamination, to the extent that there might be any at all, will be addressed by pathway elimination, using the existing buildings and paved surfaces as exposure barriers. With regard to groundwater, concentrations of VOCs not related to the property will be addressed by the Background Standard. VOCs believed to be related to the property will be addressed by pathway elimination. Institutional controls, in the form of deed restrictions, will be implemented to ensure that existing or equivalent barriers are maintained in the future to prevent exposure to soils and restrict future use of groundwater beneath the property. In addition, the local codes and ordinances governing connection to the public water system effectively restrict current and potential future use of ground water beneath the property and in downgradient areas. The NIR will be published in the Daily Press of the City of St. Marys.

[Continued from previous Web Page] 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Interim Response Mazzaro-McKees Rocks Landfill, Kennedy Township, Allegheny 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 a response action for the Mazzaro-McKees Rocks Landfill (Site) along McKees Rocks Road in Kennedy Township, Allegheny County. The Site consists of an abandoned landfill used for the disposal of industrial and municipal waste from the 1940s to 1972.
An unknown quantity of industrial waste was dumped or buried at the Site. Several exposed drums containing various wastes are present at the Site. Adjacent to the exposed drums are several mounded areas that are suspected to contain numerous additional drums. Hazardous substances have been detected at the Site in past sampling events. Contaminants may be leaving the Site though ground and surface water. The Site currently poses a substantial threat to public health, safety and the environment.
The Department has considered several alternatives for a response at the site including: (1) no action; (2) restricting the Site; and (3) conducting an investigation.
The Department has determined that conducting a further investigation at the Site is the appropriate alternative. The Department chose this alternative because it complies with section 501(a) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)) and is the only alternative that is protective of human health and the environment. An investigation would provide the Department with the information required to determine if additional remediation efforts are necessary at the Site to protect human health and the environment. The Department's proposed action is intended to fully characterize the Site and enable the Department to determine the most appropriate method to remediate the Site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). 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 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh.
The administrative record will be open for comment from July 17, 2004, until October 17, 2004. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to the Southwest Regional Office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing on August 26, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Township Municipal Building, 340 Forest Grove Rd., Coraopolis, PA 15108. Persons wishing to present comments may register before August 26, 2004, with Helen Humphreys Short, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4000.
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 Helen Humphreys Short at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for Proposed Total Maximum Daily
Loads (TMDLs) for the Montour Run Watershed in Allegheny CountyGreensburg District Mining Office: Watershed Manager, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2, Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on July 20, 2004, at 7:30 p.m. in the Commissioner's Meeting Room, Robinson Township Municipal Building, 1000 Churchill Road, Pittsburgh, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Montour Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to metals and pH from AMD. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 36684 Montour Run 36.9 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals and acidity and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion Value
(mg/l)
Total Recoverable/
Dissolved
Aluminum (Al) 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron (Fe) 1.50 30-day average; Total Recoverable Manganese (Mn) 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the mid 19th and throughout the 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. There is one waste load allocation for an active mine in the watershed. All of the remaining allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations (LA) that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected in 2002 and 2003.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet or to obtain directions to the meeting place, contact Ron Horansky, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2, Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA 15601, (724) 925-5538, rhoransky@state.pa.us.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by September 16, 2004. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 12 p.m. on July 20, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
