LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 1
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.

49-302-057A: International Paper (1008 Locust Gap Highway, Mt. Carmel, PA 17851) for modification of two natural gas-fired boilers in Mt. Carmel Township, Northumberland County.
The two boilers to be modified are a 20.922 million Btu per hour unit and a 10.5 million Btu per hour unit. The proposed modification is the use of no. 2 fuel oil to fire the boilers in addition to the natural gas now being used as fuel. The use of no. 2 fuel oil in place of natural gas could theoretically increase the SOx, NOx and PM emissions from the boilers by as much as 27.94, 2.74 and .41 tons per year, respectively, but the actual increase in these emissions is likely to be less than these values.
The Department's review of the information submitted by International Paper indicates that the modified boilers will comply with all air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the PM emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.11, the SOx emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.22, the visible air contaminant emission requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41 and, in the case of the 20.922 million Btu per hour unit only, the best available technology requirement of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue plan approval for the modification of the respective boilers.
The following is a summary of the conditions the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements:
1. The boilers shall be fired on natural gas or no. 2 fuel oil only.
2. The sulfur content of the no. 2 fuel oil used in the 20.922 million Btu per hour boiler shall be no greater than .3% by weight and the sulfur content of the no. 2 fuel oil used in 10.5 million Btu per hour boiler shall be no greater than .5% by weight. Additionally, none of the no. 2 fuel oil used in either boiler shall have any recycled/reprocessed oil, waste oil or other waste materials added to it.
3. No more than 200,000 gallons of no. 2 fuel oil shall be used in the 20.922 million Btu per hour boiler in any 12 consecutive month period. Records shall be maintained of the amount of no. 2 fuel oil used in this boiler each month. Records shall be retained for at least 5 years and shall be shown to the Department upon request.
4. The 20.922 million Btu per hour boiler shall not emit more than 7.47 tons of CO, 9.54 tons of NOx, 4.37 tons of SOx, .49 ton of VOCs and .77 ton of PM in any 12 consecutive month period.

62-017J: United Refining Co. (15 Bradley Street Warren, PA 16365) for their refinery at Bradley and Dobson Streets in the City of Warren, Warren County. The facility was issued Title V Operating Permit 62-00017 on December 26, 2000, which was revised on March 21, 2001, and again on December 18, 2001. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V operating permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Plan Approval 62-0017J is for the modification of the CO emission limit for the no. 4 boiler at the refinery. The previous emission limits were based on AP-42 emission factors and the new emissions are based on multiple emission tests performed by the facility. The plan approval does not trigger NSR or PSD based on the emission increases. The Plan Approval contains the revised CO emission limits (0.27 lb/mmBtu, 37.8 lb/hr and 165.6 tpy) and the method of demonstrating compliance with these limits. The Plan Approval will also include conditions to ensure compliance with the existing Title V Operating Permit as well as all applicable air quality requirements. This plan approval is valid only if the remodeling of the coker project demonstrates that no significance impact will occur from the change in the no. 4 boiler CO permit limit that will cause deterioration to the ambient atmosphere, or if the modifications proposed in the Coker Project, are not constructed or implemented.

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.

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.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Moose Creek Watershed in Clearfield County The Department will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed in Clearfield County. The meeting will be held on October 27, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, Daisy Street, Clearfield, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact, by 4 p.m. on Friday, October 22, 2004, John Mital, Moshannon District Mining Office, (814) 342-8200. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, section 303(d). Two stream segments in the Moose Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code
(Segment ID)Stream Name Miles Degraded 26609 Moose Creek 5.9 26613 Woods Run 2.3 The proposed plan provides calculations of the 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:
Parameter Criterion Value
(mg/l)Total Recoverable/
DissolvedAluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.
The proposed 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 proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by November 24, 2004, and sent to John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Department of Environmental Protection, Moshannon District Mining Office, 186 Enterprise Drive, Philipsburg, PA 16866, (814) 342-8200, jmital@state.pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Clearfield County Multiservice Center, contact John Mital at the previous phone number or e-mail address.
The proposed TMDL for the Moose Creek Watershed can be accessed through the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meting should contact the Department at (814) 472-1900 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
