Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Sections 304 and 305 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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.
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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality 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 below. During this comment period, a municipality may request that the person identified below, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. 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. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings
Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a truck van chassis manufacturing facility (Danville Facility) owned and operated by Strick Corporation in Limestone Township, Montour County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for this operation:
* Continued compliance with the requirements previously established in operating permit #47-399-012A for the cleanup operations existing at the respective facility (restrictions on specific cleanup solvents to be used for specific cleaning activities, restrictions on cleanup solvent usage practices and a 7.5 ton per year volatile organic compound emission limitation).
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on August 12, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (717) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T relay service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Those unable to attend the hearing, but wishing to comment, should provide written comments to Joseph Cooper, Air Quality Environmental Program Manager, DEP, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448. Comments should be submitted by August 27, 1996.

Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Canterbury Coal Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to James J. Brahosky, Acting Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Mine Foreman; Ventilation, requires that in case of accident to a ventilating fan or its machinery, or if the fan stoppage is a planned interruption whereby the ventilation of the mine is interrupted, the mine foreman shall order the power to be disconnected from the affected portions and withdraw the men immediately from the face areas. In mines employing the use of multiple fans equipped with self-closing doors which operate automatically when the fan is stopped, such action need not be taken provided the minimum requirements are met by other fans of the system. If the fan has been stopped for a period of time in excess of 15 minutes in a gassy mine, and 30 minutes in a nongassy mine, the mine foreman shall order the men withdrawn from the mine. If the mine foreman shall deem it necessary, he may withdraw the men from a gassy mine in less than the said 15 minutes and from a nongassy mine in less than the said 30 minutes. He shall not allow the men to return to their work until ventilation has been restored, and the mine has been thoroughly examined by certified personnel and reported safe. A record shall be made of said examination.
Summary of the request: Canterbury Coal Company requests a waiver of section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. This waiver will provide accommodations for the evacuation of men from the mine by way of battery powered personnel carriers and/or mantrips.

A small flow sewage treatment plant is proposed to be constructed to treat the sewage flows. Flows from the restaurant will be intercepted at the existing grease trap and conveyed to the proposed treatment plant through a 4 inch PVC pipe. The proposed treatment plant will be located on an abandoned seepage bed. Treated effluent will be conveyed across Lake Harmony Road (State Route 1003) and discharged into a tributary of Tunkhannock Creek. A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Highway Occupancy Permit will be obtained to cross and use the State highway right-of-way. Water supply is provided by an onsite well.
