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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

AIR QUALITY PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of the applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the regional office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment. Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department regional offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the Plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

The dam is located approximately 3,800 feet south of the intersection of Stover Park Road and Tory Road (Lumberville, PA-NJ Quadrangle N: 11.2 inches; W: 13.9 inches).
SPECIAL NOTICES
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Calgon Carbon Corporation, Mays/Hickman Road Site, Robinson Township, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into a proposed Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Calgon Carbon Corporation (Calgon). The proposed CO&A resolves the HSCA generator liability of Calgon for reimbursement of costs expended by the Department at property located in Robinson Township, Allegheny County (Site).
Calgon is a successor-in-interest to Pittsburgh Activated Carbon (PAC). As such, Calgon inherited HSCA liability incurred by PAC by virtue of PAC's generation of various hazardous substances and its arrangement for the transport of those hazardous substances to the Site and their disposal there, resulting in those hazardous substances' release and threatened release into the environment.
Beginning in the mid-1950s and until at least 1964, Jake Phillips, Sr. hauled to the Site carbon sweepings dross and various industrial waste from the Pittsburgh Coke and Chemical facility (mid-1950s through 1959) and from the Pittsburgh Activated Carbon facility (1960 through 1964), both located on Neville Island. In September 1959, Jake Phillips, Sr. incorporated his hauling business as the Phillips Contracting Company, Inc. (PCC). The hauling from the two facilities conducted by Jake Phillips, Sr. and by PCC resulted in disposal at the Site of about 1,200 tons of carbon sweepings and industrial waste, including eight leaking 55 gallon drums.
A 1993 EPA investigation and 1994 and 2001 investigations by the Department found contamination in the form of various volatile and semi-volatile organics at the Site. In 2003, to address this contamination, the Department conducted an interim response pursuant to section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department's interim response entailed the removal and proper disposal of all Site waste. As a result of its Site investigation and its interim response, the Department incurred costs in the amount of $1,385,368.
In September 2003, the Department settled its costs claim against Wilmington Securities, Inc. (Wilmington), for $420,000. Wilmington inherited HSCA generator liability from its corporate predecessor, Pittsburgh Coke and Chemical. In November 2005, the Department settled its costs claim against Earlin Equipment Company, Inc. (Earlin) for $125,000. Earlin inherited HSCA transporter liability from its corporate predecessor, PCC.
The Department's proposed CO&A with Calgon calls for payment by Calgon of $515,000, in three installments over a 1-year period, in exchange for the Department's covenant not to sue.
Under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), the Department is publishing notice of the proposed CO&A and will provide a 60-day period for public comment on the CO&A beginning with the date of this publication. Copies of the CO&A can be reviewed or obtained by contacting Terry Goodwald at the Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by calling Terry Goodwald at (412) 442-4000. Persons may submit comments on the proposed CO&A during the 60-day public comment period only. Comments can be sent to Terry Goodwald at the address noted or may be delivered to him in person at the Department's Pittsburgh office.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if comments submitted during the 60-day public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's judgment, that the CO&A is inappropriate or not in the public interest.
