Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges
The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.
The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice.

Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on DEP's file. The documents may be inspected at, or a copy requested from, the Field Office that has been indicated above the application notice.

Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 2).
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection 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 identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under 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 listed.

Opening of the Administrative Record; Proposed Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
U. S. Centrifugal Site
Colwyn Borough
Delaware County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has proposed an interim response at the U. S. Centrifugal Corporation Site.
The U. S. Centrifugal site is located at Fifth and Ellis Streets, in Colwyn Borough, Delaware County. The site is an approximately 5.5 acre property, occupied by buildings and open courtyards, and bounded by railroads and Darby Creek. This site was operated as a metal foundry and casting operation from at least the 1950s until the early 1990s.
The Department has determined that there is a threat to public health and the environment posed by hazardous materials (metals contained in foundry wastes) abandoned on the site. The Department has considered three alternatives for action at the site. The HSCA requires consideration of a No Action alternative. This alternative would not be protective of human health and the environment. The second alternative, stabilization of the wastes and storage on the site, would eliminate the immediate risks posed by the site, but would not be a permanent solution. The third alternative is off site shipment and disposal of the hazardous materials and wastes, a permanent solution that would eliminate the threat to public health and the environment posed by the site.
The Department is proposing to sample, analyze, consolidate if possible, transport and properly dispose or recycle the materials defined as hazardous under the act. These materials are located in uncontrolled waste piles and containers scattered through the part of the site which was used in the foundry operation. The Department is not currently proposing to address municipal and residual wastes which may be in other areas of the property. This remedy is proposed because it is the most protective and permanent solution.
The Administrative Record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record is located at the Colwyn Borough Hall, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to noon, and 1 to 4 p.m.; evening hours are available by appointment with Major James McAnany. The Administrative Record may also be reviewed at the Department's Regional Office located at 555 North Lane, Suite 6010 Lee Park, Conshohocken, PA 19428.
Written comments concerning the Department's response and the information contained in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before September 16, 1996. Written comments should be directed to the attention of April Flipse, PA DEP Project Officer, Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. The telephone number is (610) 832-5937.
In addition, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for July 24, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. in the Colwyn Borough Hall, located at 221 Spruce Street, Colwyn. Persons wishing to present oral comments should register on or before the date of the public hearing by contacting Rob Goldberg, DEP Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6010.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Rob Goldberg or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The Department is providing this Notice under section 506(b) of HSCA. The date of publication of this Notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the Administrative Record, as provided under that Act.
