   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 as follows, 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.

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 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 these 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 the 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's 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.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified as follows. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at [phone].

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the Act.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995

PREAMBLE 3

---

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

---

   Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, Administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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 Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act. 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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. 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 under 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 listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at [phone].

BUREAL OF DEEP MINE SAFETY
APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved RAG Cumberland Resources, LP's request for a variance from the requirements of section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Cumberland 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 at [phone] or from the BDMS website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

   Summary of the Request:  RAG Cumberland Resources, LP requested a variance from section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to drill a 1,000-foot long continuous horizontal borehole to the north and west of 27 Butt West section in the Cumberland Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224(b).

   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 is a proven technology which has been used successfully at the Cumberland Mine and 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) will provide a greater coal barrier than required by section 224(b). RAG Cumberland's proposed long horizontal borehole method provides an additional coal barrier protection of 35.86 feet over the requirements of section 224(b).

   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.

   6.  The single continuous borehole is drilled with a large mechanical drill that is set up once, as compared to hundreds of times wit the manual drilling used to comply with section 224(b). The risk of accidents due to moving machinery and relocating drilling equipment within the same work area is reduced.

   7.  Accident risk is reduced due to using a contractor to drill the continuous hole as compared to each continuous miner crew being trained to drill individual holes as required in section 224(b).

   This approval is limited to the alternate method to drill test holes as required in section 224(b). All other terms and requirements of section 224(b) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in RAG Cumberland's plan.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Babb Creek Watershed

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on October 1, 2002, at 6 p.m. at the Arnot Sportsmens Club, Arnot, PA, to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Three stream segments in the Babb Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 1998 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
21681	Babb Creek	0.99
21681	Babb Creek	12.85
21730	Wilson Creek	2.3

   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:

Parameter	Criterion Value (mg/l)	Total Recoverable/Dissolved
Aluminum	0.1 of the 96 hour        LC 50 0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5 0.3	Total Recoverable Dissolved
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable
pH	6.0--9.0	NA

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal from 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 to determine long term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation 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 or for directions to the Arnot Sportsmens Club, contact John Mital, Geologic Specialist, Hawk Run District Mining Office, P. O. Box 209, 792 Empire Road, Hawk Run, PA 16840-0209, [phone], [e-mail].

   The TMDL can be viewed and printed from this website: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/

   Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by November 6, 2002. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by 4 p.m. on September 24, 2002. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
