     Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the 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. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall 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 or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 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 following site, 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 as follows. 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.

     A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

     Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

    Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities

     The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:

    30-day Daily Instantaneous
    Parameter Average Maximum Maximum
    Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l
    Alkalinity exceeding acidity*
    pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
    * The parameter is applicable at all times.

     Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.

     In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.

     More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are 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 (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.

     Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.

     Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit 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 § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and 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. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

     Sections I—VI contain actions regarding industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater, and discharges associated with MS4, stormwater associated with construction activities and CAFOs. Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for Coverage under General NPDES Permits. The approval for coverage under these General NPDES Permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions in each General Permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions in the respective permit. The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.

     Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) 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 Administrative Agency Law). The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.

     For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 contact a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

    STATE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

    NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLANS RELATED TO APPLICATIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS FOR CAFOs

     The State Conservation Commission has taken the following actions on previously received applications for nutrient management plans under 3 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5, for agricultural operations that have or anticipate submitting applications for new, amended or renewed NPDES permits or NOIs for coverage under a general permit for CAFOs under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92a. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law and the Federal Clean Water Act.

     Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal under 3 Pa.C.S. § 517, section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 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 AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. 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.

    Plan Location:

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    Hickory Township P. O. Box 44,
    Endeavor, PA 16322
    Forest

    Plan Description: The approved plan provides for constructing a 4500 GPD wastewater treatment plant to serve 16 residences in the village of Endeavor area. The wastewater will be conveyed by individual grinder pumps and small diameter pressure sewer. The remaining areas of the township will continue to be served by on-lot systems with those malfunctions identified in the Plan being corrected by repair or replacement at the expense of the property owner. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

    Plan Location:

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    New Wilmington Borough 134 High Street,
    New Wilmington PA 16142
    Mercer

    Plan Description: The approved plan provides for existing and future sewage needs in New Wilmington Borough as well as portions of Wilmington Townships (Mercer County and Lawrence County). The existing Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is experiencing mechanical and operational issues with peak month hydraulic and organic loading nearing design capacity. The STP upgrades proposed in this project include the following: adding an influent pump station combined with screening and grit removal, a sludge storage building, a lab/control building, a new gravity interceptor sewer to the proposed influent pump station wet well, adding an additional clarigester, a dual tower trickling filter system, trickling filter pumping system, dual circular clarifiers, UV disinfection, sludge dewatering system, new sludge press, and a sludge drying bed. Replacing the existing trickling filter/rotating biological contactor STP with an upgraded trickling filter system, combined with an increase in hydraulic loading from 0.564 MGD to 0.780 MGD, the proposed changes will serve the municipalities for the next 20 years. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of New Wilmington Borough.

    The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).

     Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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.

The facility's air emissions sources consist of internal floating roof, gasoline storage tanks (seven of which may also store petroleum distillates); three fixed roof, petroleum distillate storage tanks; and a sump tank. Storage tanks No. 1-No. 4 are subject to a combined volatile organic compound (''VOC'') emission restriction of 5.9 tons/yr. The permittee has elected to restrict hazardous air pollutants (''HAPs'') emissions from the facility to less than 10 tons/yr for any individual HAP, and less than 25 tons/yr for total HAPs, to avoid being subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart R. The facility, as well as several of its storage tanks, are also subject to gasoline and/or petroleum distillate throughput restrictions (in any consecutive twelve (12)-month period), as follows:

     - Storage tank #3: 12,180,000 gallons of gasoline and petroleum distillates (combined)

     - Storage tank #4: 12,270,000 gallons of petroleum distillates

     - Storage tank #106: 328,860,000 gallons of gasoline

     Since the TVOP was last renewed in 2005, no physical changes have occurred at the facility (though storage tank #5 has been inactive for approximately 20 years and will not be listed as a source in the renewed TVOP). However, since this time, all of the gasoline storage tanks at the facility have become subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB. All applicable requirements of this regulation will be included in the renewed TVOP.

     The facility is not subject to the Compliance Assurance Monitoring (''CAM'') requirements of 40 CFR Part 64.

     The TVOP will continue to include all other monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

    SPECIAL NOTICES

    Presque Isle Bay Area of Concern Delisting; 30-Day Public Comment Period and Public Availability Sessions

     The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) provides notice of the availability of the Stage 3 Remedial Action Plan documenting the proposed removal of Presque Isle Bay from the list of Areas of Concern under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

     The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (Agreement) signed by Canada and the United States in 1972 expresses the commitment of both countries to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Great Lakes water resources. A 1987 amendment to the Agreement describes a process for identifying and restoring geographical Areas of Concern (AOC) based on evaluation of 14 beneficial use impairments (BUIs) ranging from loss of wildlife habitat and fish tumors to beach closings and drinking water problems. In 1991, due in part to concerns from local anglers of brown bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) with external sores and tumors and at the urging of local citizens, the United States Department of State designated Presque Isle Bay the 43rd AOC under the Agreement. Two of the 14 BUIs were identified as issues for the bay: restrictions on dredging activities and fish tumors or other deformities.

     Since the 1980s, the Department and its partners conducted studies of the bay's brown bullheads and collected information on sediment quality conditions within the bay. In the early 1990s, tumor rates were as high as 86% for grossly observable external tumors and 22% for liver tumors. Over the next ten years, tumor rates steadily declined to 19% for grossly observable external tumors and a reported zero percent for liver tumors. The sediments were found to contain low level contamination, primarily metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), spread throughout the bay. The investigations also indicated that sediment quality conditions were improving in the bay. The improvements in sediment quality, the decade-long downward trend in fish tumors, and the decision not to pursue active remedial measures within the AOC led to the redesignation of Presque Isle Bay to the Recovery Stage in 2002. The new status was a direct result of changes in the watershed the most significant of which was the $100 million in upgrades to the City of Erie's wastewater collection, treatment, and conveyance system.

     In 2005, a comprehensive sediment study began to assess the restrictions on dredging activities BUI. The assessment included both practical and ecological perspectives. The practical restriction is based on Pennsylvania's laws and regulations, which preclude the disposal of the dredged material in the open lake regardless of contaminant presence or absence. Disposal to the Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) or an upland site are the only allowable options. Because the restrictions on disposal of dredged material are not related to sediment contamination, but rather laws preventing the disposal of solid waste in waters of the Commonwealth, from the practical perspective the beneficial use is not considered impaired.

     From an ecological perspective, the sediment in the Presque Isle Bay AOC was evaluated against a delisting target based on discharges from the disposal of dredged material in the CDF. Using elutriate data for areas routinely dredged within the AOC and calculations to predict concentrations in the CDF discharge based on concentrations in the sediment, it was determined that sediment dredged from any location within the AOC could be placed in the CDF. As a result of both the practical and ecological evaluations, the restrictions on dredging activities BUI was delisted in 2007.

     Development of the fish tumor delisting target for the Presque Isle Bay AOC was an iterative process. Following the recommendations of Great Lakes researchers, de-listing criteria were based on a comparison of liver and skin tumor incidence rates in Presque Isle Bay to a Lake Erie reference or ''least impacted control site''. The Department selected Long Point Inner Harbor, ON after evaluating a number of non-AOC sites on Lake Erie and several inland Pennsylvania lakes.

     Assessing the fish tumor or other deformities BUI required examination of more than twenty years of data from sampling, analysis, research, and discussions. To organize the information and findings, the Department used the United States Policy Committee's Delisting Principles and Guidelines. The guidelines evaluate whether the impairment is limited to the AOC, has a natural cause, has been addressed by remedial measures, or is due to sources outside the AOC.

     The Department used data collected in the post-Recovery Stage to identify and test a delisting target, which incorporated both liver and external tumors. Comparison to a selected ''least impacted control site'' showed that the liver tumor incidence in Presque Isle Bay met the delisting target. This was not the case for the external tumors. Data collected from Lake Erie sites did indicate that the liver tumor rate in Presque Isle Bay may be a reflection of a background rate for this species in the Great Lakes. The incidence of external tumors across the Lake Erie sites fluctuates more, with Presque Isle Bay incidence rates at the higher end of the spectrum.

     Radiotelemetry migration studies found that the bullhead do not migrate outside the bay, which suggests that there is something different either in the genetic makeup of the fish or the bay's ecosystem. Comparison with tumor rates from three inland lakes and other locations in Lake Erie showed that the impairment is not typical of lakewide, region-wide, or area-wide conditions. The Department concluded that the external tumors impairment is a local issue and evaluated the possibility that the bay's bullhead are hybrids between two species and thus, more susceptible to disease, or the tumors are caused by a naturally occurring virus. Studies, while limited by the number of samples for viral investigation, did not support either hypothesis. An exposure study did not establish a cause and effect relationship between chemicals in the sediment and external tumors, even at the earliest detectable stage. It is possible that the external tumors are a result of multiple factors that synergistically act to produce cancer.

     Given the large uncertainty both in the measurement and causes of skin tumors on brown bullheads, it is quite possible that skin tumors are a poor indicator of environmental health. As a result, the Department revised the delisting target, focusing on a comparison of liver tumor incidence rates between Presque Isle Bay and Long Point Inner Harbor. Post-Recovery monitoring data shows that the Bay meets this delisting target.

     It is clear that the external tumors reflect conditions in the ecosystem, yet unclear as to what those changes are and how they relate to environmental contamination. The Department will monitor external tumors as a measure of ecosystem health and continue to investigate the cause(s) of the tumors. It was the external tumors found on the bay's brown bullheads in the late 1980s that resulted in the listing of Presque Isle Bay as an AOC.

     Despite the absence of scientific data to support a causal relationship between contaminants in the bay's sediment and external tumors, PAHs, metals, and other legacy Chemicals of Potential Concern (COPCs) are present. Both ecological and human health risk assessments were commissioned using existing data from the AOC. Using appropriately conservative assumptions, the conclusion of both risk assessments is that the ecological and human health risk posed by legacy contaminants in the bay is low-moderate for all receptor groups evaluated.

     The Department believes that the RAP process has accomplished its goal to the maximum extent practicable and the ultimate identification of the causes of the external tumors needs to be addressed outside the scope of the AOC program. Based on the decreased and stable tumor rates, review of the available scientific evidence, and in close consultation with local and national experts and its own PAC, the Department recommends delisting the Fish Tumor Beneficial Use Impairment. The removal of the final BUI indicates that environmental conditions in Presque Isle Bay are comparable to non-AOC locations in the Great Lakes. The Department concurs and recommends the delisting of Presque Isle Bay as an AOC.

    Request for Written Comments

     The Department is requesting comment on the Stage 3 Remedial Action Plan (RAP) which summarizes the studies, data, and literature supporting the recommendation to delist. The Department intends to publish notice of a final action after it considers any comments it receives. The Department intends to include comments and any responses as part of the RAP files. A copy of the final draft RAP may be obtained by contacting Lori Boughton, Office of the Great Lakes at (814) 217-9635 or through the PAC's website at http://www.pibpac.org. The document can also be viewed at the following locations: The Tom Ridge Environmental Center, 301 Peninsula Drive, Erie, PA 16505; the Erie County Public Library, 160 East Front St., Erie, PA 16507; and the Erie County Conservation District, 1927 Wager Road, Erie, PA 16509.

     Toe public availability sessions are scheduled in August to provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions of the Department. The first is on Friday, August 10, 2012 from 4:00 to 6:00 pm in room 110 at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center.
