62-0017L: United Refining Co. (15 Bradley Street Warren, PA 16365) for installation of four microturbines that will burn waste gas vapors from the loading rack in the City of Warren, Warren County.
Under 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(b) and 127.424(b), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) intends to issue a plan approval for the Warren Refinery located in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility was issued a Title V permit No. TV-62-00017 on December 26, 2000, which was revised on March 21, 2001, and again on December 18, 2001. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan approval No. 62-017L is for the installation of four microturbines that will burn waste gas vapors from the loading rack. The existing vapor combustion will continue to be utilized to handle the excess vapors or when the microturbines are not being operated. The microturbines will generate approximately 120 kilowatts/hr and will produce lower emissions than the vapor combustion unit. The emissions limits established for the source will remain the same. Emission testing is also required for the microturbines and the vapor combustion unit. The plan approval does not trigger NSR or PSD.
The permit will incorporate monitoring and recordkeeping requirements for the quantity of gasoline loaded, the hours of operation of the microturbines and the vapor combustion unit, the amount of electricity generated, the presence of a continuous flame and temperature of the flame zone. The permit also incorporates the Federal MACT requirements for the loading racks (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CC) and the bulk gasoline terminals (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart R). In addition the leak detection and repair requirements for the MACT and New Source Performance Standards were included in the permit (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts CC and R and 40 CFR Part 60, Subparts VV and GGG, respectively). The permit will also incorporates conditions to ensure compliance with applicable State and Federal Air Quality Requirements as well as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS)
PERMITSThe Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
The Department has received the following plans and reports:

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Little Mill Creek Watershed The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting in conjunction with the Mill Creek Coalition meeting on August 10, 2005, at 7 p.m in Room 222, Pierce Science Center Building, Clarion University, Clarion, PA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL for Little Mill Creek, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Twenty-one stream segments in the Little Mill Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2004 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 49727 Little Mill Creek 7.8 49728 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.4 49729 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.2 49730 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.2 49731 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.3 49732 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.4 49733 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.4 49734 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.4 49737 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.4 49739 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.4 49740 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.9 49741 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.7 49742 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.9 49743 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.6 49744 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.9 49745 UNT Little Mill Creek 1.2 49746 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.6 49747 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.5 49748 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.2 49749 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.5 49750 UNT Little Mill Creek 0.1 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/ Dissolved
Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable 0.3 Dissolved
Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable PH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal from the late 19th century through the mid 20th century. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulationallows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over the past 10 years.
The data and supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Elias Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, P. O. Box 669, White Memorial Building, Knox, PA 16232, (814) 797-1191, eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to Clarion University can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed on the following website: www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/.
Written comments will be accepted at the previously listed address and must be postmarked by September 7, 2005. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 9, 2005. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
