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.

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

14-00002H: Graymont (PA), Inc. (965 East College Avenue, Pleasant Gap, PA 16823) to install a semiwet scrubber to control SOx emissions from kiln No. 7, as well as to construct a waste heat boiler to generate up to 5 MW of electricity and/or a spray tower, to reduce the exhaust gas temperature from kiln No. 7 at the Pleasant Gap Lime Manufacturing plant in Spring Township, Centre County.
The installation of kiln No. 7, as well as the semi-wet scrubber, has been approved under Plan Approval 14-00002A, issued July 9, 2004. In addition, no reassessment of any air quality impacts is required since the stack gas temperature will be higher than the stack temperature at which the project was modeled. A higher stack gas temperature results in a greater plume rise and better dispersion.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information provided by Graymont (PA), Inc. indicates that the proposed installation and construction will comply with all air quality requirements, including the best available technology (BAT) requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants. The semiwet scrubber will also comply with the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21.

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.

Spring Grove, PA 17362York Plan Description: Ellen Essock, A3-67946-311-2: The plan consists of a two lot single-family residential subdivision on 49.79 acres with total proposed sewage flows of 400 gpd to be treated by an individual onlot disposal system. The proposed development is located on the south side of Bentz Road, approximately 0.2 mile west of Myers Road in North Codorus Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because the sample results for the preliminary hydrogeologic study are almost 2 years old. The calculations that determine the lot sizes should be based on new sample results, and not historical groundwater values.
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.

E3514-001, Department of General Services, Bureau of Engineering and Architecture, 18th and Herr Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17125, Meadow Brook Flood Control Project, City of Scranton, Lackawanna County, USACOE Baltimore District.
This permit is requested for a flood protection project in and along approximately 3,524 linear feet (approximately 4.5 acres) of Meadow Brook. Permit No. E35-356, which was previously issued for this work, inadvertently expired December 31, 2005. The project begins 180 feet upstream of Green Ridge Street (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.5 inches, West 3.2 inches) and extends to Meadow Brook's confluence with the Lackawanna River (USGS ''Scranton'' Quadrangle, North 9.0 inches, West 4.6 inches).
In November 2005, under a Federal contract, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) began construction of an earthen levee flood protection project along the east bank of the Lackawanna River. That work is scheduled to be complete in March 2007. Since the levee system will cross the Meadow Brook outfall, the pipe sections at the outfall of the Commonwealth's Meadow Brook project must be installed before the Corps can extend their levee across and beyond Meadow Brook. Therefore, it is imperative that the Meadow Brook project begins as soon as possible. Delays in starting construction of the Meadow Brook project will almost certainly result in delays and cost increases in the Corps project.
The following activities are associated with the Meadow Brook project:
* Remove existing culverts and stream enclosures along a 3,524-foot reach of Meadow Brook.
* Construct and maintain a 16-foot long concrete transition culvert between the upstream end existing culvert and a new 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 1,806 linear feet of 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 231 linear feet of 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel.
* Construct and maintain a 14-foot-long concrete transition structure between the 10-foot wide by 7-foot high concrete open channel and a new 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 360 linear feet of 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 10.5-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert and a new 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain 188 linear feet of 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert.
* Construct and maintain a 22-foot long concrete transition culvert between the 12-foot wide by 8.5-foot high concrete box culvert and a new 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert.
* Install and maintain 814 linear feet of 12-foot diameter concrete pipe culvert. At pipe outlet, construct and maintain concrete end walls and a 53-foot long grouted R-7 riprap apron.
* Construct and maintain approximately 11 stormwater outfall penetrations varying in size from 18-inch diameter to 48-inch diamter at various locations along the flood control project.
Anticipated construction time is 18 months.
