MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act(33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times.
In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Interim Response
Reeders TCE SiteJackson Township, Monroe County The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. § 6020.101 et seq. (''HSCA''), has initiated a prompt interim response action at the Reeders TCE Site (''Site''). This response has been undertaken pursuant to Sections 505(b) & (c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) & (c). The Site is located along Route 715 in the Village of Reeders, Jackson Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
In December 1991, a residential property near the intersection of Church Road and Route 715 detected trichloroethene (TCE) in their well water supply as high as 8,700 parts per billion (ppb). The Department conducted further well water supply sampling of surrounding residential properties and found three additional residents had detections of TCE above the state maximum contaminant level (MCL) or drinking water standard of 5 ppb.
In January 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) installed carbon filtration systems for the four home water supplies that exceeded the MCL for TCE.
In February 1992, the Department performed a soil gas survey in the village of Reeders to determine the source of the TCE. The highest soil gas concentration (1,147 parts per billion volume or ppbv) was detected adjacent to a shed on the property identified as P-1. However, surface soil samples collected near the shed detected no TCE or any other volatile organic compound (VOC). The results of the soil gas investigation did not reveal the source of the TCE. EPA performed a Screening Site Inspection (SSI) in 1995 and issued the report in March 1996. The report documented high concentrations of TCE in residential wells, but TCE was not detected in soil or surface water samples. A definitive source of the TCE impacts was not identified.
In 2003, public water was extended to the Church Road area of Reeders. All residents who were affected by the TCE groundwater contamination are connected to the public water supply line maintained by the Jackson Township Water Authority.
From May 2010 to March 2011, the Department conducted a vapor intrusion study that included soil gas, subslab and indoor air sampling to determine if there is a risk associated with the TCE-contaminated groundwater plume. In February 2011, TCE was detected in the air in the basement of a residential property at a concentration of 21 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which is above the Act 2 Statewide Health Standard screening level for TCE in indoor air of 12 ug/m3 (DEP Residential MSC).
The Department has determined that TCE, a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA, has been released at the Site.
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred and that an ongoing release is likely if no actions are taken, the Department is authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a).
Due to the fluctuations of the TCE in the contaminated groundwater, indoor air TCE concentrations have also been measured at times to be above the Act 2 Statewide Health Standard screening level for TCE in indoor air. For the vapor intrusion study that was conducted, TCE was detected at a residential property with concentration ranging from 1.5 ug/m3 (lowest) to 21 ug/m3 (highest). The source of the TCE is unknown and there-fore, removal of the source area is not an option.
This prompt interim response will cost less than $2 million and take less than 1 year to implement.
The Department is undertaking a prompt interim response at the Site pursuant to its authority under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). Prompt action is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated alternatives for this proposed interim response which included:
1) No Action
2) Monitored Natural Attenuation
3) Installation of a Soil Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence, and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative 3 as the interim response for the Site. A soil vapor intrusion mitigation system which is similar to a radon removal system will be installed by the Department in the residence with the TCE concentrations greater than the State-wide Health Standard screening level.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(b). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Jackson Township Municipal Building, 2162 Route 715, Reeders, Pennsylvania 18352 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 p.m. The administrative record will be open for comment from September 3, 2011 through December 2, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Ronald Schock, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for October 19, 2011 at 10:30 AM at the Jackson Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves the installation of a soil vapor intrusion mitigation system. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the October 19, 2011 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Ronald Schock at (610) 861-2155 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
