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.

This plan approval will be incorporated into Title V Operating Permit 45-00005 through an administrative amendment at a later date. The action will be published as a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Plan Approval 45-302-074 is for installation and operation of two natural gas/no. 2 fuel oil fired Johnston boilers 9 and 10, conversion of existing boiler 1--3 and permanent shutdown of boilers 4 and 5 at their existing facility in Pocono Township, Monroe County. The designed rated heat input to each new boiler 9 and 10 will be 30.98 mmBtu/hr for no. 2 oil and 32.3 mmBtu/hr for natural gas. Each boiler will fire no. 2 fuel oil as a primary fuel and natural gas as a backup and using a forced draft low NOx burner with internal flue gas recirculation (IFGR). Also the company will convert three existing boilers, boilers 1--3 from no. 6 fuel oil to no. 2 fuel oil with low NOx burners and IFGR. One additional fuel oil storage tank is also proposed.
The facility is in an area designated as a marginal nonattainment area for O3. The project area is also included in the northeast Ozone Transport Region. The facility is currently a major source for NOx emissions only. The Federally enforceable limit chosen by the company for the NOx emission will keep the proposed emission increase from the facility below the NSR applicability triggering thresholds from the proposed new and modified sources. Thus, the addition and modification of sources will not subject the facility to the provisions of NA NSR for NOx. emissions of SO2, CO, NOx, TSP, PM10, lead, asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride, fluorides, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, total reduced sulfur and reduced sulfur compounds associated with the proposed project will be below the PSD significant emission rates as the company will maintained the emissions from the entire facility below the PSD PALs level and thus are not subject to PSD review. The following emission limitations are set for each new and modified boiler.
NOx emissions From BAT, 30 PPM @ 3%O2 when firing with natural gas 90 PPM @ 3% O2 when firing with no. 2 fuel oil CO emission From BAT, 100 PPM at 3% O2 Copies of the application, the Department's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan Approval 10-0027E is for the replacement of existing coal fired boiler 5 with a new boiler rated at 91 mmBtu/hr. The new boiler will be capable of firing natural gas, distillate oil, residual oil and off specification oil, which is currently fired in the no. 1 boiler. The new boiler will be equipped with low NOx burners and flue gas recirculation. This replacement is intended to be an environmental improvement that will reduce emissions and provide a dependable supply of steam for processing needs. This boiler is identical to the new gas/oil boiler that was constructed earlier this year. The project will decrease emissions of PM10, NOx, SO2 and VOCs by 66.77 tpy, 82.89 tpy, 99.01 tpy and 31.57 tpy, respectively. CO emissions will increase by 6.81 tpy. This is a net result of combining the decreases from the no. 5 and no. 6 coal boilers along with other increases and decreases that have occurred at the facility since 1991 (including the new emissions for the two new boilers based on the permit limits). The Plan Approval will include the emission limits for firing natural gas, distillate oil and residual oil as well as off-specification oil and will also include all applicable conditions to ensure compliance with Subpart Dc of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources. The Approval also requires stack tests to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits. The permit contains limitations pertaining to fugitive, odor and visible emissions.

[Continued from previous Web Page] PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The 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.

Borough or
TownshipBorough or Township
AddressCounty North Annville Township 1929 Thompson Ave.
Jonestown, PA 17038Lebanon Plan Description: The approved plan provides for a gravity sewer extension to serve the existing Hill Farm at Annville retirement community consisting of 65 beds, 7 independent living units and up to 84 new units. This project provides for a new sewerage service area near Kreider.

Any required NPDES permits or WQM permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN DISAPPROVAL
Plan Disapprovals Granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act
Southeast Region: Water Management Program Manager, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Plan Location:
Borough or
TownshipBorough or Township
AddressCounty West Rockhill Township 1028 Ridge Road,
Sellersville, PA 18960Bucks Plan Description: On August 17, 2004, the Southeast Regional office disapproved the sewage facilities planning module for the Benson Property, code number 1-09952-197-3s, APS ID 513231, Site ID 631781. The project is in West Rockhill Township, Bucks County. The project was disapproved for the following reasons:
1. The submitted alternative analysis indicated that the Bucks County Health Department investigated the soils on the site, but the results of this testing were not included with the planning module submission. Therefore, adequate documentation was not provided to demonstrate that the soils on the site are not suitable for the installation an on-lot sewage disposal systems.
2. The submitted site plan did not depict the location of any soil testing, the slopes at each test area and the types of soils present and their boundaries.
3. The public notice included with the submission did not meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 71.31(c), 71.53(d)(6) and 93.4c(c)(3). Specifically, the public notice included with the submission did not indicate the antidegradation classification of Ridge Valley Creek.
4. The planning module submission did not adequately evaluate nondischarge sewage disposal alternatives. The project's alternative analysis indicated that the site is unsuitable for the placement of either a conventional onlot sewage disposal system or an individual residential spray irrigation sewage disposal system. However, there was no indication in the submission of whether any alternate or experimental onlot sewage disposal technologies were considered. The Department was therefore unable to determine whether the site is unsuitable for all on-lot sewage disposal methods.
5. The proposed discharge would have had an adverse impact on the quality of Ridge Valley Creek (HQ). Under 25 Pa. Code § 93.4c(b)(1)(iii), the Department may allow a reduction of water quality in an HQ stream if a reduction is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located. The applicant supplied a social or economic justification (SEJ) in support of the proposed discharge. However, no social justification for the discharge was presented in the SEJ and only a minimal economic benefit was anticipated. Furthermore, it was unclear from the submission whether the existing onlot sewage disposal system on the property is creating a public health or pollution hazard. Therefore, the Department cannot support the proposed discharge.
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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau), has received a request for variance from Parkwood Resources, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida, (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau website: www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. Comments should be sent to Joseph A. Sbaffoni, Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401.
Section 702 of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 242(c) of the act states that where belt conveyors are installed, main stoppings and regulators shall be so arranged as to reduce the quantity of air traveling in the belt conveyor entry to a minimum for effective ventilation and to provide an intake air split as an escapeway from the face area to the main air current.
Summary of the Request: Parkwood Resources, Inc. requests a variance to use point carbon monoxide early warning fire detection system and entries in common with the belt conveyor entry at the Cherry Tree Mine.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Conestoga Headwaters in Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Conestoga Headwaters in Berks County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Commonwealth's 1996, 1998, 2002 and 2004 Section 303(d) lists included stream segments in the watershed. The listings of these segments were due to use impairments caused by nutrients, organic enrichment and low dissolved oxygen, as a result of agricultural and other nonpoint source runoff.
There currently are no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for nutrients. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of phosphorus in the Conestoga Headwaters. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in the watershed. The phosphorus 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 following table shows the estimated current phosphorus loading for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary to meet the TMDLs are also identified.
Summary of TMDL Based Load Reductions in the Conestoga Headwaters Pollutant
Existing Load (lbs/yr) TMDL (lbs/yr) % Reduction Phosphorus 10,949.55 8,877.82 19 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/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/. To request a copy of this TMDL contact Lee McDonnell, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2938, lmcdonnell@state.pa.us.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by September 28, 2004. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on September 16, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, Morgantown, PA.
