Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 2
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 304 and 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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.
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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified, a municipality 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 below. During this comment period, a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Operating Permit
Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). A MSW landfill is considered an existing MSW landfill if the facility began construction, modification or reconstruction before May 30, 1991; or received waste on or after November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for the future deposition of waste control of landfill gases from existing landfills using best demonstrated technology.
The Commonwealth's State Plan for implementing the EG was submitted to the EPA on July 1, 1997. In accordance with the 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection will enforce the requirements of the EG through the issuance of Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPS) to designated MSW landfills. Therefore, in accordance with the plan, the operating permit issued to the landfills identified below, will be revised to incorporate the requirements of the EG. This revised permit will serve as the enforcement mechanism for the EG requirements.
Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.
