This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 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.
Location Permit Authority Application Type or Category Section I NPDES Renewals Section II NPDES New or amendment Section III WQM Industrial, sewage or animal wastes; discharges to groundwater Section IV NPDES MS4 individual permit Section V NPDES MS4 permit waiver Section VI NPDES Individual permit stormwater construction Section VII NPDES NOI for coverage under NPDES general permits Sections I--VI contain actions related to industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater and discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
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.

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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Interim Response
Mount Pleasant Street Residences, Borough of Southwest Greensburg, Westmoreland County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is proposing an interim response at Mount Pleasant Street Residences, Borough of Southwest Greensburg, Westmoreland County.
The Mount Pleasant Street Residences site consists of eight residential dwellings located along Mount Pleasant Street in the Borough of Southwest Greensburg. The residences are located across Mount Pleasant Street from an active Sunoco Gasoline Station.
The Sunoco Station has a long history of product releases and complaints of gasoline vapors in adjacent Mount Pleasant Street Residences. In response to these complaints, Sunoco conducted groundwater and soil sampling, soil gas surveys and indoor air sampling events at the Mount Pleasant Street Residences. The sampling indicates that VOCs are present in soils, groundwater and within the residences. Sunoco has concluded that the reoccurring odors in the residences are not a result of their operations.
A Health Consultation was conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to determine if residents were exposed to VOCs in their homes at levels that would harm their health. Due to insufficient data, ATSDR recommended that additional investigation be conducted at the Mount Pleasant Street Residences to determine whether VOCs are entering these homes at harmful levels.
The Department has considered several alternatives for a response at the site including:
1. No action.
2. Restricting the site.
3. Conducting an investigation.
The Department has determined that conducting a further investigation at the site is the appropriate alternative. The Department chose this alternative because it complies with section 501(a) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)) and is the only alternative that is protective of human health and the environment. An investigation would provide the Department with the information required to determine if additional remediation efforts are necessary at the site to protect human health and the environment. The Department's proposed action is intended to fully characterize the site and enable the Department to determine the most appropriate method to remediate the site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from October 15 until December 15. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to the Southwest Regional 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 on Thursday, November 17 at 6 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Professional Center located on SR 819. Persons wishing to present comments may register with Helen Humphreys before 4:30 p.m. on November 16 by telephone at (412) 442-4000 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Helen Humphreys at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

John Harhai Landfill, Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is proposing an interim response at John Harhai Landfill, Mount Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County.
The site consists of a 16 acre abandoned landfill used for the disposal of industrial and municipal wastes from 1965 to 1978. An unknown quantity of industrial waste was dumped or buried at the site. Several exposed drums containing various wastes are present at the site. Adjacent to the exposed drums, there are several mounded areas that may contain additional drums. Hazardous substances have been detected at the site in past sampling events. Contaminants may be leaving the site though ground and surface water. The John Harhai Landfill currently poses a substantial threat to public health, safety and the environment
