Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges
The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.
The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.

The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection. 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 such certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, 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 same address 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.

Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. Such NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chs. 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections 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 must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; 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.

DEP v. June Chester, N. Margaret Hendrickson,
Dorothy E. Hendrickson, and Orville Hendrickson.Relating to: Hendrickson Property, Cochranville, Chester County, PA
The Department of Environmental Protection, under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) hereby gives notice that it has entered into a proposed Consent Decree with June Chester, N. Margaret Hendrickson, Dorothy E.

The Hendrickson Property is located along Route 10 in Cochranville, PA. A tire fire at the site in 1988 caused a release of hazardous substances at the property. Through the Consent Decree, the Hendricksons would resolve any potential liability to the Department for costs associated with the cleanup of the property. Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the Hendricksons will remit to the Department a percentage of the net proceeds from any sale of the property. The Hendricksons will also remit to the Department 1/2 of the gross proceeds, if any are recovered, from a third-party lawsuit against the person who they contend started the tire fire which caused the release of hazardous substances at the property.
This notice is being provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department is providing for a 60 day comment period on the proposed Consent Decree from the date of publication of this Notice.

Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance from the Tanoma Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of both this request and the Department's decision regarding approval. Complete copies of both the variance request and the Department's decision may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
Summary of the request: Tanoma Mining Company's plan calls for the use of electronic detectors to detect for oxygen deficiency in lieu of the permissible flame safety lamp for machine runners. Tanoma mining believes that an oxygen detector with alarm capabilities provides at least the same level of protection as the flame safety lamp for the machine operator. Additionally, the Tanoma Mining Company would provide its machine operators with separate electronic detectors that test the mine atmosphere for methane concentrations.
Summary of the decision: The Bureau has determined that Tanoma Mining Company's approved plan will provide protection to personnel and property substantially equal to or in excess of the requirements set forth in the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. The basis for the Bureau's determination for approval can be summarized in the following conclusions:
1. Methane and oxygen detectors, both with alarm capabilities, will be used. A single detector that has the capability of sampling the mine atmosphere for both methane and oxygen is also acceptable.
2. Detectors will be calibrated and examined as per manufacturers' specifications.
3. The variance is for machine runners only. Shot-firers and Mine officials (mine foremen, assistant mine foremen, mine electricians and mine examiners) are not covered under this variance.
4. Certified officials and machine runners throughout the bituminous coal mining industry were surveyed. The results indicate an agreement with the proposal that methane and oxygen detectors would provide protection equal to or better than a flame safety lamp for machine runners.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements for flame safety lamps contained in section 316(h)(1) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. All other terms and requirements of section 316 shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the approved plan.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment Approval, and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)).
Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action 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 to the Board, telephone (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
