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.

17-00060A: Penfield Collieries, LLC (301 Market Street, Kittanning, PA 16201) for the modification of a coal preparation plant and associated coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations in Huston Township, Clearfield County.
The proposed modification is a change in the manner by which incoming coal may be stockpiled at the facility. Incoming coal is currently required to be stockpiled by means of a stacking tube. The proposed modification is the stockpiling of a portion of the incoming coal by dumping it from trucks directly onto the ground or a stockpile.
The total combined PM/PM10 emissions from the entire facility are not expected to be greater than 81.9 and 27.7 tons, respectively, in any 12-consecutive month period following modification. The facility is not a major (Title V) facility for any air contaminant.
The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by Penfield Collieries, LLC indicates that the modified coal preparation plant and associated coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the BAT requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the proposed modification. Additionally, if the Department determines that the coal preparation plant and associated coal stockpiling and railcar/truck loading operations are operating in compliance with all conditions of the plan approval and all applicable regulatory requirements following modification, the Department intends to incorporate the plan approval conditions into State-only Operating Permit 17-00060 in accordance with the administrative amendment requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.450.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements:
1. All conditions contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00060 remain in effect unless amended or superseded by a condition contained herein. If there is a conflict between a condition or requirement contained in this plan approval and a condition or requirement contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00060, the permittee shall comply with the condition or requirement contained in this plan approval rather than the conflicting condition or requirement contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00060.
2. The facility shall not receive more than 2,600,000 tons of coal, nor produce more than 2,000,000 tons of product coal, in any 12-consecutive month period.
3. All incoming coal shall be stockpiled by means of a stacking tube, except that no more than 800,000 tons of incoming coal may be stockpiled by dumping directly onto the ground or stockpile from a truck bed in any 12-consecutive month period.
4. The freefall distance from the end of the truck bed to the ground or stockpile shall be minimized at all times.
5. An operable water truck equipped with a pressurized spray bar and pressurized hose or nozzle connection shall be maintained onsite at all times and shall be used as needed to control the fugitive dust from plant roadways, stockpiles, stockpile areas and truck dumping operations.
6. All coal placed onto stockpiles shall have a moisture content of at least 5%, by weight, as shall all coal removed from the stockpiles and loaded into railcars and trucks. The permittee shall demonstrate compliance with this requirement each month by collecting a gross sample from each coal stockpile in accordance with ASTM D6882, ''Standard Practice for Manual Sampling of Stationary Coal from Railroad Cars, Barges, Trucks, or Stockpiles,'' preparing these samples for analysis in accordance with ASTM D2013, ''Standard Method of Preparing Coal Samples for Analysis,'' and determining the moisture content of each sample in accordance with ASTM D3302, ''Standard Test Method for Total Moisture in Coal,'' or an alternate method determined by the Department to be equivalent.
7. The permittee shall maintain accurate and comprehensive records of the number of tons of incoming coal stockpiled by dumping directly onto the ground or stockpile from a truck bed each month and the results of all coal moisture analyses performed. All such records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
8. The requirements of Source P102 Condition No. 011 of State-only Operating Permit 17-00060 are hereby rescinded.

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.

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.
