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.
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 to schedule an appointment.
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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

Location: Newton-Hamilton Borough, Mifflin County, P. O. Box 63, Newton-Hamilton, PA 17075.
The Act 537 Official Plan submission was disapproved because Newton-Hamilton Borough failed to address the remaining five plan deficiencies identified the Department's letter dated June 15, 1994. As discussed in the Department's January 29, 1998 letter, failure to respond in writing within 60 days from the date of that letter would result in plan disapproval. Additionally, the Department understands that Newton-Hamilton Borough is participating with Wayne Township in an area Act 537 Plan. The original deficiencies from the 1993 plan are listed below.
1. An original, signed and sealed resolution of adoption has not been provided. (Item 3)
2. No clear alternative has been selected as the intended solution to the sewage disposal needs. Plan page 3-8 identifies only a least costly system ''. . . such as those described as alternative 1.1 and 1.2.'' (VIII)
3. The alternatives analysis is inadequate. Information supplied concerning the alternative of connection to the Wayne Township/Kistler Borough/Mount Union facilities was insufficient to enable comparison with a Newton Hamilton alternative. (VI)
4. The plan's implementability is highly questionable since it clearly contains a financial disclaimer on page 4-1. Alternate funding schemes to support plan implementation are necessary should the primary funding not materialize. If Pennvest or other Federal funding is to be utilized, the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (WPCRF) Checklist must be completed.
5. The plan does not document Borough efforts to coordinate planning activity with Wayne Township Municipal Officials. Conceding no involvement to a vocal citizens group from Wayne Township does not equate to an attempt at intermunicipal coordination.

The approved plan provided for identification of sewage treatment capacity requirements for the SLSA service area, examination of prospective STP sites and, ultimately, purchase of 2.0 mgd sewage treatment capacity from Lancaster City. Treatment to be provided by the Lancaster treatment plant. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

Notice of Settlement Under the
Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Naginey Quarry Site
Mifflin County Recycling Center Site
Armagh Township, Mifflin 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 entered into a proposed consent order and agreement (COA) with Charles H. and Constance Naginey regarding the Department's cost incurred for conducting response activities at the Naginey Quarry Site (Naginey Site) and the Mifflin County Recycling Site. The Naginey Site is 55 acres of land located in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, approximately 3 miles east of the town of Milroy. The Naginey Site is located in a rural area bordered on the south and east by agricultural lands, on the west by private residences and on the north by a recycling facility and limestone quarry. The Mifflin County Recycling Center Site is located across the road from the Naginey Site.
Former operations at the Naginey Site included the breaking of battery casings, and/or, crushing battery tops to retrieve lead contents, and stockpiling the casings on portions of the Naginey Site. Approximately 300,000 battery casings were stockpiled on the Naginey Site along with approximately 150 drums of foundry sand. Approximately 10 tons of foundry sand was present on the Mifflin County Recycling Center Site.
Preliminary sampling by the Department revealed lead contamination of site soils and waters of an adjacent sinkhole to be in excess of regulatory standards. Because of the threat to human health and the environment and the need to further characterize the extent of lead contamination at the Naginey Site, the Department performed a response to remove the stockpiled battery casings, abandoned drums of foundry waste and the pile of foundry waste. The cost for this removal action is projected to be $220,000.
On July 27, 1998, the Department and the Nagineys entered into the proposed consent order and agreement. Under the terms of the COA, the Nagineys will pay the Department $40,000 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the Naginey Site. The settlement amount is based upon the Department's determination that the Nagineys cannot pay for all or any substantial portion of its response costs.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlement will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The proposed consent order and agreement that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed consent order and agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent order and agreement to the Department by October 8, 1998, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
