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.

6. The permittee shall monitor and record at least once each day the status of the indicator light on each power pack access door of each module of the ESP. If an indicator lamp is flashing or is not lit, the permittee shall within the same day perform the troubleshooting procedures and repairs/corrective actions contained on pages 17--20 of the manufacturer's manual. The permittee shall record the troubleshooting procedures performed and the repairs/corrective actions made. In addition, the permittee shall record the output voltages to the ionizer section and collection section of each affected module before and after the repairs/corrective actions made. The output voltage to the ionizer section shall be 10.0--11.5 KVDC and the output voltage to the collection section shall be 4.5--7.3 KVDC. Repairs/corrective actions that can be made during troubleshooting shall be performed the same day; repairs that require replacement parts shall be completed within 15 days of diagnosis. If either the ionizer section output voltage or the collection section output voltage is outside of the above ranges, the induction hardener and draw furnace shall not be operated until the voltages are restored to within the above required ranges. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
7. The permittee shall manually clean and inspect the internal components of the ESP at least once every 3 months in accordance with the manual cleaning and inspection procedures specified on pages 14--16 of the manufacturer's manual. The induction hardener and the draw furnace shall not be operated during ESP cleaning.
8. The permittee shall perform the weekly inspection and maintenance operations specified on pages 13 and 14 of the manufacturer's manual.
9. The permittee shall keep records of the results of the monthly visible emissions readings of the combined exhaust from the induction hardener and draw furnace. In addition, the permittee shall keep records of the U.S. EPA Test Method 9 opacity measurements and resulting averages and any corrective actions taken if the average opacity exceeds 0%. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
10. The permittee shall keep the following records of each manual cleaning of the ESP: date of cleaning, type of detergent used (including MSDS), detergent strength, water temperature, type of agitation/impingement used, duration of soaking, rinse procedure and dry-out time. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
11. The permittee shall keep records of the results of each weekly inspection and the repairs/corrective actions made. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.
12. The permittee shall keep records of the amount of Aquacool used each month in the induction hardener. The records shall be retained for a minimum of 5 years and shall be made available to the Department upon request.

17-00033: RES Coal, LLC (224 Grange Hall Road, Armagh, PA 15920) for the renewal of a State-only operating permit for the operation of a coal processing facility (Clearfield Siding) in Boggs Township, Clearfield County.
The facility incorporates a rotary breaker, a radial stacking conveyor, a railcar loading operation, various stockpiles and three diesel fuel-fired emergency generators (approximately 10 horsepower, approximately 40 horsepower and 150 horsepower). The air contaminant emissions from the facility are not expected to exceed 31.3 tons of PM/PM10, 27.2 tons of NOx, 5.9 tons of CO, 2.2 tons of VOCs, 1.8 tons of SOx and .02 ton of HAPs per year.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to renew State-only Operating Permit 17-00033. The Department intends to incorporate into the renewal all conditions currently contained in State-only Operating Permit 17-00033 with these exceptions, additions and changes:
1. Conditions requiring the performance of weekly inspections of the facility to detect the presence of visible air contaminant emissions, visible fugitive air contaminant emissions and malodorous air contaminant emissions, and the maintenance of records of the results of these inspections, have been removed from the permit as the types of sources existing at this facility are not likely to generate visible air contaminant emissions or malodorous air contaminant emissions and the requirement to observe the facility for the presence of fugitive air contaminant emissions only once per week is misleading. The observations need to be regularly performed every day, all day, as part of the normal operation of the facility, in order to be truly effective in preventing excessive fugitive air contaminant emissions.
2. A condition requiring malfunctions to be reported to the Department has been changed to exempt malfunctions which are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, air contaminant emissions in excess of an applicable air contamination emission limitation or are not resulting in, or potentially resulting in, noncompliance with a permit condition.
3. A condition requiring facility haul roads to be ''saturated'' with water has been removed from the permit as the Department does not have the regulatory authority to require haul roads to be ''saturated'' with water. The Department does have the regulatory authority to require, and is requiring in the permit, the use of a water truck for road dust control and compliance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.1 and 123.2 requirements pertaining to the prevention and control of fugitive dust from the use of roadways.
4. A condition requiring an operable water truck to be available onsite at all times and to be used, as needed, for the prevention and control of fugitive dust from plant roadways and stockpile areas has been relocated from Section D of the permit (Source Level Requirements) to Section C (Site Level Requirements).
5. Three diesel fuel-fired emergency generators, which exist at the facility but which were not previously incorporated in the permit, have been added to the permit along with conditions specifying the applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.13 PM emission limitation and applicable 25 Pa. Code § 123.21 SOx emission limitation and a condition limiting the fuel used in the generators to virgin diesel fuel to which no reclaimed/reprocessed oil, waste oil or other waste materials have been added.
Northwest Region: Air Quality Program, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Matthew Williams, New Source Review Chief, (814) 332-6940.
33-00108: Brookville Hospital (100 Hospital Road, Brookville, PA 15825-1367) for reissuance of Natural Minor Permit to operate a general medical and surgical hospital. The major emitting sources included: 1) Five natural gas or/No. 2 fuel oil fueled Boilers and; 2) Two, No. 2 fuel oil fueled emergency generators in Brookville Borough, Jefferson County. The facility is natural minor because the emission of pollutants from the facility is less than Title V threshold limits.

[Continued from previous Web Page] COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before an application within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--34.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code § 77.123 or § 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
Where a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91--96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation--Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated above each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must 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.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Code Chapter 92. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.
Persons aggrieved by any action may appeal under section 517 of Act 38, Section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

The appeal form and the Environmental Hearing Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Environmental Hearing Board at (717) 787-3483.

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 pro bono representation. Call the Secretary of the Environmental Hearing Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Elizabethtown, PA 17022Dauphin County Plan Description: The proposed Aberdeen Mills Subdivision, A3-22910-161-2 consists of a new residential lot served by an individual onlot disposal system and a Small Flow Treatment Facility. The plan was disapproved because the hydrogeologic study included in the planning module submission that was received by the Department of Environmental Protection indicated that the lot will pollute the groundwater of this Commonwealth in violation of The Clean Streams Law and Chapter 71, § 71.64(c)(1) requires that the lot be unsuitable for onlot sewage disposal before a Small Flow Treatment Facility can be used.
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Hopewell Township R. R. 1
Box 95
James Creek, PA 16657Huntingdon County Plan Description: The proposed Official Plan revision consisting of a 75-acre tract that currently has seven lots, two of the seven lots will be split into two lots each resulting in four new lots. The four lots are to use two Small Flow Treatment Facilities discharging to dry swales leading to a UNT Shy Beaver Creek.
The plan was disapproved for the following reasons:
1. The Operation and Maintenance agreement is not sufficient to assure the long term sewage needs of the subdivision.
2. Section H of the planning module was checked indicating a discharge to a dry swale. However, no easements to the point of first use or copies of certified letters and certified mail receipts by which you had notified all down stream property owners were enclosed.
3. The Project Narrative states the remaining lots in the subdivision will utilize conventional onlot sewage disposal systems, as approved by the Hopewell Township Sewage Enforcement Officer. Nothing in this module indicates that the other lots will be able to find suitable locations for onlot systems. In fact, the plot plan only shows locations of soil test pits (conducted by Mark Mills, your Soil Scientist) located on those lots that are unsuitable for onlot systems.
4. The soil test pits and percolations test conducted by the Township SEO are not shown on the plot plan.
5. The planning information fails to address any existing or proposed water supplies within 200 feet of either side of the dry drainage channel from point of discharge to point of First Use (POFU) and the potential impact on existing or proposed water supplies.
