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.

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Dunkard Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Dunkard Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida, (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS website: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: Dunkard Mining Company requested a variance from section 224(b) of the act to drill a horizontal borehole to the west of the Rosedale #8 Mine to protect miners against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224(b) of the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The long horizontal borehole method proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224(b) of the act is a proven technology which has been used successfully in other underground mines in this Commonwealth.
2. The long horizontal borehole method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides much less exposure to lifting and strain type injuries by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes, rather than mining the outside entry 8 feet at a time.
3. The long horizontal borehole proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224(b) of the act will provide a greater coal barrier than required by section 224(b) of the act.
4. The long horizontal boreholes will provide a quicker method to close the borehole in the event of contacting the abandoned mine by closing the valve located at the end of the pipe grouted in the rib and will be more suitable for grouting, if needed.
5. The long horizontal borehole will provide a much larger area of coverage for protecting the workers against accidentally mining into the abandoned mine.
This approval is limited to the alternate method to drill test holes as required in section 224(b) of the act. All other terms and requirements of section 224(b) of the act shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Dunkard's approved variance proposal and the following stipulation. Upon completion of the horizontal borehole, and before mining starts, Dunkard Mine is required to provide a print to BDMS showing the vertical and horizontal view of the hole location, data logs and include the hole properly referenced on future Dunkard Mine maps. The roof and bottom shall be sufficiently tagged and the entire borehole plot is to be recorded on a map as the hole is drilled to ensure that the drilling occurs within the coal seam.
Request for Comments for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the McGourvey Run Watershed The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is accepting comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. The Department held a public meeting on August 14, 2002, at the Holiday Inn in Clarion, PA, to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL. The meeting was scheduled to coincide with the monthly meeting of the Mill Creek Coalition, a local group actively involved in watershed restoration. McGourvey Run has been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH, high concentrations of metals and other inorganics. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table.
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 49796 McGourvey Run 2.17 The proposed plan provides calculations of stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Criterion value Total Recoverable/ Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved Aluminum 0.1 of the 96 hour LC 50
0.75Total Recoverable Iron 1.5
0.3Total Recoverable Dissolved Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable PH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings and abandoned gas well. This watershed was sporadically mined for coal in the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations (LA) which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over the past 10 years.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Joseph Tarantino, Knox District Mining Office, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232, (814) 797-1191, jtarantino@state.pa.us.
