COAL AND NONCOAL MINING
ACTIVITY APPLICATIONSApplications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301—3326); The Clean Streams Law; the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); and The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.20a). Mining activity permits issued in response to applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4014); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1002).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department. A copy of an application is available for inspection at the district mining office indicated before each application. Notices of requests for 401 Water Quality Certifications are included in individual application notices, as noted.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by a person or an officer or head of Federal, state or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application within 30 days of this publication or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121—77.123 and 86.31—86.34.
Written comments or objections regarding a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting comments or objections, the application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
A request for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code § 77.123 or § 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
When an NPDES number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in coal fields) may require additional 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. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur will be 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 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 Loads.
Persons wishing to comment on NPDES permit applications should submit statements to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application 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. A comment 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 § 92.61. 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, 1988
Notice of Interim Response
Everbrite Industries Site
Lansford Borough, Carbon 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 Everbrite Industries 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 at 401 West Bertsch Street in Lansford Borough, Carbon County, Pennsylvania.
The Site contains abandoned chemical containers within a large, deteriorating brick building. The Panther Valley School District purchased the property through a tax sale and contacted the Department concerning the hazardous substances on the property. A site visit was conducted by the Department on August 26, 2010. Between 50—100 55-gallon drums and numerous labeled and unlabeled smaller containers of hazardous substances were observed within the building. The following chemical classes were documented as observed from labels on the drums: Acids (70% Hydrofluoric Acid), Bases (19% Ammonium Hydroxide), Amines (85% Triethanolamine), Oxidizers (35% Hydrogen Peroxide), and Flammable Liquids (Ethyl and Isopropyl Alcohols).
These containers were stored in proximity to each other without any secondary containment to prevent the mixing of incompatible chemicals should they leak. Mixing of incompatible chemical could cause a fire and/or an air release that could pose a threat to nearby residential occupants and recreational area users. Although the building has been secured by the School District, the abandoned chemicals present a potential threat and pose a risk to human health and the environment. Sections of the roof of the building have collapsed and further collapse could cause a release of the chemicals and the potential for mixing of incompatible chemicals. Some of the chemical pose threats from direct contact, toxicity, flammability, or reactivity.
The Department has determined that the following hazardous substances as defined by HSCA have been abandoned and therefore, released as defined by HSCA, or present a threat of release at the Site: Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Sulfuric Acid (Acids) and Ammonium Hydroxide (Base)—(Corrosive Hazardous Waste—D002), Hydrogen Peroxide (Oxidizer and Reactive Hazardous Waste—D003), and Ethyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol (Flammable Liquids and Ignitable Hazardous Waste—D001).
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred and that the threat of a release of hazardous substances exists 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).
A Prompt Interim Response is justified at this Site for the following reasons: Characterization and removal of the hazardous substances and wastes is needed in a time frame that prohibits developing and closing an administrative record prior to response initiation given the condition of the building and the potential threats to public health and the environment. This prompt interim response action will cost less than $1 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 two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) No Action
2) Waste Removal and Off-Site Reuse, Recycling, or Disposal: This alternative includes the testing and classification of abandoned wastes and other materials in drums and smaller containers. After classification and lab-packing or consolidation of these chemicals, the containers will be prepared for shipment and staged and stored properly until they can be removed for reuse, recycling, or disposal at facilities approved by the Department.
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 2 as the proposed interim response for the Site.
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 Lansford Borough Municipal Office, 26 East Patterson Street, Lansford, Pennsylvania and is available for review Monday through Friday from 9am to 3pm. The administrative record will be open for comment from December 4, 2010 through March 4, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Jeremy Miller, Compliance Specialist, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, 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 January 11, 2011 at 10 AM at the Panther Valley School District Office, 1 Panther Way, Lansford. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves removal and off-site reuse, recycling, and/or disposal of the hazardous substances and waste. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the January 11, 2011 hearing regarding this prompt interim response should register with Jeremy Miller before January 04, 2011 by telephone at (570) 826-2511, or in writing to Jeremy Miller at the Department's Northeast Regional Office. If no person registers to present oral comments by the date specified above, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the January 11, 2011 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Jeremy Miller 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
