    PREAMBLE 1


    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 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 of Environmental Protection Regional Office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

    NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
    NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

       The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for DEP, the regulated community and the public. 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.

       Notice is hereby given that DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

       Copies of these 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 the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP 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 DEP 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. Any comments or protests filed with DEP 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 DEP 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. TDD users may contact DEP through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

       Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the Act.

    SPECIAL NOTICES

    Submission Date for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants under Section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of applications to municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act) (53 P. S. § 4000.902). Municipalities eligible for recycling grants include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. Authorities are not eligible to apply for the grants, but may be sponsored by a municipality.

       Applicants must be in compliance with the provisions of the Act and the implementing regulations in order to be eligible to receive grant funding. At a minimum, those communities mandated to recycle under the Act must have enacted an ordinance which includes, but is not limited to, the following:

       a.  A requirement for the separation of at least three materials from municipal solid waste (MSW) by residents of homes and apartments;

       b.  A requirement for the separation of leaf waste (as defined by the Act) from MSW by residents of homes and apartments;

       c.  A requirement for the separation of at least high-grade office paper, corrugated paper, aluminum and leaf waste from MSW by commercial, municipal and institutional establishments;

       d.  A curbside collection system for recyclable materials operating at least once per month;

       e.  Provisions to ensure compliance with the ordinance;

       f.  Provisions for the recycling of collected materials; and

       g.  A prohibition on burning recyclable materials, including leaf waste as defined by the Act, which are collected under the recycling program.

       In addition, mandated municipalities must conduct a recycling education program which notifies all persons occupying every residential, commercial, municipal and institutional establishment within its borders of the requirements of the ordinance. This must be conducted at least once every 6 months.

       For communities not mandated to recycle, a no-burning ordinance must be in place covering those materials they are targeting for collection (including leaf waste as defined by the Act). All applicants must be in compliance concerning the annual reporting of materials recycled and any previous grant contract provisions. County applicants should be in compliance with planning and other county-related provisions of the Act.

       Municipalities are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the Financial Distressed Communities Act are eligible for 100% of approved costs. No application requesting more than $2 million in grant funding will be accepted.

       The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority:

       1.  Projects bringing communities newly mandated to recycle as determined by the 2000 Federal census into compliance with the Act;

       2.  Projects that, when implemented, will increase the amount of recyclable material recovered from any previous year;

       3.  Projects in which the level of recycling education exceeds the requirements of section 1501(d) of the Act for all persons occupying residential, commercial, institutional and municipal premises;

       4.  Projects implemented by a municipality in which the affected community is mandated to participate; and,

       5.  Intergovernmental cooperative projects.

       Projects eligible for grant funding are those which divert the following recyclable materials from municipal solid waste: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, plastics, source separated food scraps and leaf and yard wastes.

       Eligible recycling program development costs include: recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; developing of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts for procuring equipment or services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.

       Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: purchasing or leasing vehicles used to collect recyclables, transport recyclables to processing facilities or markets and vehicles used in the operation of a materials recovery facility; reusable containers for the collection or storage of recyclable materials; acquiring and/or renovating buildings for the processing or storage of recovered materials; equipment used to process or manufacture recyclable materials into usable products; improvements to land needed to operate a recycling facility or yard waste composting facility authorized under 25 Pa. Code § 103(h); and, the costs associated with educating the public on recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audio-visual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages'' and school or special event programs. Composting projects and programs will be considered to be recycling projects or programs accordingly. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.

       Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the recycling program used for recycling and other purposes will be pro-rated according to its recycling use. Funding for certain leaf and yard waste collection equipment may be limited according to its seasonal use. Funding for wood chippers will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines and where the material is collected curbside from residents. Funding of street sweepers for the purpose of leaf collection will not be considered.

       Funding may be restricted in situations where equipment or services requested through a grant application may be available from the public or private sector within the county of the applicant. Public notices may be required before the grant application may be submitted depending upon the nature of the funding request. When the municipality submits the recycling grant application to the Department, it must include proof of compliance with the notification requirements, a description of any responses received to the notice and an explanation of why the municipality has concluded the mechanical processing equipment is not available to the program from the private sector.

       Potential applicants must contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator to schedule a preapplication conference to discuss application requirements and program particulars. Applications will be returned to municipalities which fail to schedule preapplication conferences. Grant application forms are available from Department Regional offices.

       Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. October 4, 2001. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with two copies submitted to the appropriate Department Regional Office and one copy submitted to the appropriate County Recycling Coordinator. All grant awards will be predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of the Act and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

       Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Todd Pejack, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization of Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
