Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears.

DEP has made a preliminary determination to approve RACT plans as amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above facilities. The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in RACT approvals for these facilities to comply with current regulations.
These preliminary determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into Plan Approvals and/or Operating Permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determinations for these facilities:

One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revisions. The hearing will be held at 2 p.m. on August 29, 1996, at the Department of Environmental Protection Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA. The hearing will represent the opportunity for oral comment to DEP on the proposed SIP revisions and will not be a question and answer session. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing are encouraged to contact Clarke Rupert, DEP Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6020 to register prior to the hearing, but may also register at the hearing. Those unable to attend the hearing but who wish to comment should send their written comments to Francine Carlini, Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428 on or before August 29, 1996.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact Clarke Rupert at (610) 832-6020 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Notice of Intent to Issue Title V Operating Permit #03-076
Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to The Peoples Natural Gas Coompany for the Girty compressor station. Girty compressor station is located in South Bend Township, Armstrong County. The Peoples Natural Gas Company representative to contact regarding this application is William Runyan, P.E., Safety, Environmental and Compliance, 625 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3197.
The Girty compressor station is primarily used for the storage and distribution of natural gas. As a result of the levels of nitrogen oxides emitted, Girty is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in evaluation of the application are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Any person wishing to provide the Department of Environmental Protection with additional information which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit may submit the information to the Department of Environmental Protection at the address shown above. A 30-day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the following:
* Name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments.
* Identification of the proposed permit (specify permit #03-076).
* Concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit. A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department of Environmental Protection determines such notification by telephone is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Joseph Pezze, Regional Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Region--Field Operations, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4000. For additional information, contact Thomas J. Joseph, Air Pollution Control Engineer II, Air Quality Control, at the same address.
Notice of Plan Approval Application Minor Source
The following stationary sources have filed a request for a plan approval with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Air Quality. Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval have 30 days to submit the protests or comments to the Regional Office at the address listed below. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the plan approval application by filing a request with the Regional Office stating the reason for the request.
The Department will evaluate and consider all protests and comments received. The Department will, where appropriate, modify the proposed plan approval based on the protests and comments received.
The final plan approval will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operated in compliance with the Department's regulations contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143 and the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. A notice of the Department's final decision on the proposed plan approval will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Air contaminants emitted from these sources are less than the amounts that would trigger major new source review requirements. For additional information on the following applications, contact Devendra Verma, Engineering Services Chief, (814) 332-6940.

The following final reports were submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 2).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears.
