LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 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 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, 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 before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 the Department, 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.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the 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 a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department 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 Department 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. Comments or protests filed with the Department 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 the Department 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 before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report 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.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for the Hartshorn Run Watershed in Clearfield CountyThe Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held on September 1, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, Daisy Street, Clearfield. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact, by 4 p.m. on Friday, August 27, 2004, John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office, (814) 342-8200. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). One stream segment in the Hartshorn Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 26652 (7191) Hartshorn 1.3 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:
Criterion Value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0
N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows 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 proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Hartshorn Run Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by October 13, 2004, and sent to John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, contact John Mital at the previous phone number or e-mail address.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for Crosskill Creek in Berks and Lebanon CountiesSouthcentral Region: Water Supply Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
The Department will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for a portion of the Crosskill Creek watershed in northeast Berks County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Commonwealth's 1996-303(d) list included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by turbidity and suspended solids.
The proposed TMDL sets allowable sediment loadings in the watershed. There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The sediment loading was allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading for the portion of the Crosskill Creek watershed covered by the TMDL. Overall load reductions necessary to meet the TMDL are also identified.
Summary of TMDL-Based Load Reductions in the
Crosskill Creek WatershedWatershed Pollutant Existing Load (lbs/yr) TMDL (lbs/yr) Reduction Crosskill Creek Sediment 2,133,904 1,790,881 16% The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact Travis Stoe, Water Supply and Wastewater Management, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8467, tstoe@state.pa.us.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by September 13, 2004. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on August 31, 2004, at 7 p.m. in the Bethel Township Community Center, 81 Klahr Road, Bethel, PA.
Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs) for the Watershed of Unnamed Tributary 44769 to the Conemaugh River in Indiana CountySouthwest Region: Water Supply Management Program Manager, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
The Department will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the watershed of Unnamed Tributary 44769 in Indiana County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Commonwealth's 1996 and 1998 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by sediment and nutrients.
There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients and sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of phosphorus and sediment in the watershed of Unnamed Tributary 44769. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to its being the limiting nutrient in the watershed. The phosphorous and sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact Joe Boylan, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, joboylan@ state.pa.us.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by September 14, 2004. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on August 25, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Burrell Township Municipal Building, Blairsville, PA.
