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 below, 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. During this comment period a municipality may request that the person identified below, 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, please contact the Department 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.

AIR QUALITY
Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor 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 the 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.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any 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 to the date of the hearing.
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.

PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
East Earl Township, Lancaster County, 1241 Division Highway, East Earl, PA 17519. The approved plan provided for extension of public sewer collection and conveyance systems to provide service to the Rancks Church Road, Witwer Road and Sheep Hill Road areas of the Township. Treatment will be provided by Earl Township sewer system. Additionally, growth areas surrounding the Borough of Terre Hill are designated as future sewer service areas with connection required to the Terre Hill sewer system. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Londonderry Township, Bedford County, P. O. Box 215, Hyndman, PA 15545. The municipal plan for Phase II was disapproved because the Township failed to address the remaining six plan deficiencies identified in the Department's letter dated September 7, 1994. As discussed in the Department's letters dated September 30, 1996, December 3, 1997 and specifically in the February 2, 1998 letter, failure to respond within 60 days from the date of that letter would result in plan disapproval. Limitations on the issuance of permits has been instituted in the Stringtown/Palo Alto area of the Township. The original plan deficiencies are listed.
1. Phase II proposed construction of numerous septic tank effluent technology systems with discharges to High Quality watersheds. Consistency with the anti-degradation requirements of special protection waterways in accordance with Chapters 93, 95 and 102 has not been established. Refer to the Special Protection Waters Handbook for additional information concerning specific requirements that must be resolved prior to discharging to High Quality waters. (VI-A 5)
2. The Stringtown Hollow needs area has not been addressed. Exhibit XVIII indicated a report concerning this area would be submitted to the Department no later than June 1, 1994. To date, the Department has not received any information concerning the situation, possible alternatives or solutions to Stringtown Hollow area needs. (III-B)
3. Procedures proposed for controlling the use of Holding Tanks for ''permanent use such as hunting camps'' (page 106) are not supported by regulations. Refer to Chapter 71, Section 71.63 for regulatory requirements concerning use of Holding Tanks. (V-A 11)
4. Procedures to require a ''Hydrogeologic study'' for subdivisions of ''less than 5 acres'' located within 1/4 mile of well samples tested between 5 and 10 ppm nitrate nitrogen (page 91) are not supported by regulation. No provision for subdivision size exists in Chapter 71, Section 71.62. All subdivisions within the prescribed distance of high nitrate wells are required to complete a study. (Chapter 71, 71.62)
5. Exhibit I is missing from the January 1994 Act 537 plan.
6. Exhibit XI discusses subdivision and sewage facilities planning history within the Township. Even though it indicates that unplanned subdivisions exist the plan does not appear to contain reconstructive planning for these subdivisions or to propose procedures that will prevent a reoccurrence of the same planning failures paving the way for creating new unplanned subdivisions. (IV-A)

Typical eligible corrective action costs include excavating, emptying, cleaning, removing, transporting and disposing of a leaking storage tank; excavating contaminated soil; transporting and disposing of wastes; and restoring disturbed or contaminated areas by backfilling, grading and revegetating. Costs associated with the removal of non-leaking storage tanks and releases from storage tanks located in underground areas such as basements or cellars are not eligible for reimbursement.
The reimbursement is limited to the actual costs of corrective action or $5,000, whichever is less. The amount allowed is subject to a $1,000 deductible, which must be paid first by the tank owner. The reimbursement and deductible apply on a per tank basis. All reimbursements are funded through the Underground Storage Tank Indemnification Fund and up to $500,000 per year may be available. The program expires on January 30, 2000.
