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 any 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, or 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 under 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 listed.

Pine Grove, PA 17963Schuylkill Plan Description: The update revision provides for a selected alternative to construct a new 1.5 million gallon a day sewage treatment plant that will utilize a sequencing batch reactor process. The proposed plant will be located at a site west of the Interstate 81 Pine Grove Interchange and will discharge to the Swatara Creek. The existing Pine Grove Joint Treatment Authority sewage treatment plant will be taken out of service. A pump station will be constructed near the existing plant and will connect to a proposed force main interceptor for the purpose of conveying sewage to the new plant. The sewage service area will be expanded and will require the abandonment of two existing package sewage treatment plants. An illustration of the selected alternative and change in service area can be found on Map I-10 of the update revision. The update revision also includes an infiltration/inflow (I/I) reduction program in Pine Grove Borough. The selected alternative and I/I reduction program are being funded with the assistance of Rural Utilities Service grants and loans. The nonsewered areas of Pine Grove Township will be administered via the sewage enforcement officer (SEO). The SEO will report directly to the Pine Grove Township Supervisors on the condition of the onlot systems on an annual basis. The implementation schedule for completing the selected alternative is found in Table 3 on page 5 of the update revision. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Intent to Use Coal Ash as Structural Fill per 25 Pa. Code § 287.661 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), per 25 Pa. Code § 287.661(c), is hereby publishing a summary of an intent to use coal ash as structural fill to allow for public comment. Per 25 Pa. Code § 287.1, ''structural fill'' is defined as the ''engineered use of coal ash as a base or foundation for a construction activity that is completed promptly after the placement of the coal ash, including the use of coal ash as a backfill material for retaining walls, foundations, ramps or other structures. The term does not include valley fills or the use of solid waste to fill open pits from coal or noncoal mining.''
The written notice regarding this project was received on July 9, 2002, by the Department. This project may begin 60 days following this submittal date (September 9, 2002).
User of Coal Ash: Earth Conservancy, Inc., 11 South Main St., Ashley, PA 18706-1506.
Location of Use: The location of use, within the Hanover Crossings site, is the former Luzerne County Demolition Debris Landfill off SR 29 and Middle Road in Hanover Township, Luzerne County. This landfill was an unpermitted landfill that ceased operation in 1978. The Earth Conservancy is the landowner.
Description of Use: Approximately 213,200 cubic yards of coal ash, from the Northampton Generating Plant, 1 Horwith Drive, Northampton, PA 18067, will be used as structural fill for capping this former landfill as part of the redevelopment of this land for future use. The ash generated by Northampton Generating Company has been previously authorized for this use per the conditions of General Permit WMGR068, issued on March 20, 2001.
The coal ash will be utilized upon arrival at the site, with no intermediate unloading or stockpiling prior to use as structural fill per 25 Pa.
