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.

INTENT TO ESTABLISH ALTERNATE SITE-SPECIFIC WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR COPPER NPDES Permit PA0027618. Bethel Park Municipal Authority, 5100 West Library Avenue, Bethel Park, PA 15102.
Under 25 Pa. Code § 16.24(e), the Department proposes to amend NPDES Permit PA0027618 (Piney Fork STP) by incorporating the results of a water-effect ratio (WER) into the calculation of the water quality based effluent limit for copper. The WER is a biological determination of a site-specific aquatic life criterion, determined by conducting toxicity testing on sensitive aquatic species using site or simulated site water and comparing it to testing performed using lab dilution water. The WER procedure recognizes that the physical and chemical characteristics of site water can influence the toxicity of a chemical on aquatic life. On January 28, 2002, the Bethel Park Municipal Authority submitted a WER proposal to modify their NPDES copper limits for the Piney Fork STP. Following intensive review of their sampling protocol and study results, the EPA and the Department determined that the following WER is approvable.
An alternate site-specific criteria for copper has been developed by multiplying the fish and aquatic life copper criteria contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 16, Appendix A., Table 1 by the WER for the POTW. The WER acts as a multiplier in the calculation of the NPDES permit limits for copper. These changes will affect the copper limits of the Piney Fork STP only.
Facility Permit Number Receiving Stream Total WER Criterion (CCC) Piney Fork STP PA0027618 Piney Fork 3.62 76.8 ug/l
Persons wishing to comment on this proposal are invited to submit a statement to Tim Dreier, P. E., Regional Manager, Water Management, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Comments must be received within 30 days from the date of this public notice.

Responses should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Manager will amend the NPDES permit to reflect the WER calculated effluent limits for copper. A separate notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin for the permit action.
The proposal and related documents are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the office previously indicated.
