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, 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 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.

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 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's 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.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT
PLAN APPROVAL The Department of Environmental Protection has taken actions on municipal requests for Act 537 Plan Approval.
Any person aggrieved by this 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 may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audio tape from the Secretary to 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 decisional law.
Actions under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20.
Southeast Regional Office: Sewage Planning Specialist Supervisor, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.
The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Middletown Township, Delaware County to provide for:
1. The transfer of all ownership, operation, and maintenance duties of the Fair Acres Pump Station, from Delaware County, to the Middletown Township Sewer Authority.
2. The expansion of the Fair Acres Pump Station to 600 GPM (current peak flow is 205 GPM).
3. The by-pass and elimination of the Pennell Place Pump Station.
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Bethel Township, Berks County, P. O. Box 24, Bethel, PA 19507. The Bethel Township Act 537 Plan submission was disapproved because Bethel Township failed to address the remaining five deficiencies identified in the Department's letter dated April 18, 1996. The original deficiencies are listed.
1. Your sewage disposal needs identification is radically different from your first submission. Please provide additional details concerning the sanitary survey conducted to document these needs. Survey methods, personnel employed and their qualifications, numbers of sample points obtained, field procedures, and survey forms are all appropriate items to include in your plan. I am enclosing a copy of the Department's ''Sewage Disposal Needs Identification Guidance'' document to give you an idea of the type of information required.
2. Your selected alternative, i.e. an ''OLDS Management Ordinance'' is not sufficiently defined. Various parts of your plan discuss what ''could'' be in an ordinance (III-13) and you provide a reprint of a sample ordinance obtained from the Department many years ago (App. IV) but no draft of your proposed ordinance is included. Since your plan's principal selected alternative is to use OLDS management in your primary needs areas, deferring the development of such an ordinance until after plan approval is inappropriate. Please provide a draft of the OLDS Management Ordinance you intend to adopt as your selected alternative. Include the specifics of your program. Please include the criteria that you will use to conduct your proposed yearly evaluation of your OLDS program.
3. Please resolve the conflicts found in the selected alternatives that apply to new land development procedures. Your plan recommends amending your Subdivision and Land development Ordinance to require Act 537 planning for new land development, and to not permit the use of Component 1 (mini-modules) in areas of elevated nitrate groundwater (II-3) normally requiring a preliminary hydrogeologic study (PHS). It also recommends amending your Zoning Ordinance to require replacement area testing and protection (II-4). The final plan recommendations (I-1 & I-2) however, propose specific new ordinances. These new ordinances are to require a PHS for all new land development in the entire Township and also replacement area testing but make no mention of protecting the replacement site or requiring Act 537 planning.
4. A commendable effort was made identifying unplanned subdivisions in your Township (App. VI). This plan does not follow this initial information to its logical conclusion by evaluating those subdivisions created without environmental planning, for the adequacy of their sewage disposal methods. After reviewing the data in Appendix VI, we feel many small subdivisions may be eliminated to make your follow up list more manageable. The subdivisions of concern are numbered 3, 11, 32, 50, 55, 61, 76, 78, 79, 102, 116, 127, 121, 143, 152, 154, and 164. Outstanding issues are specifically addressed in the Reconstructive Planning Guidance, steps 2 through 6, and in the event the previously furnished guidance was mislaid, I am including an additional copy with this letter for your convenience.
5. Your plan's implementation schedule is presently inaccurate and must be revised to include all appropriate milestones and dates.
Armagh Township, Mifflin County, 234 College Ave., Milroy, PA 17063. Approved plan provides for in-filling the current public sewer service area and adoption of an OLDS management program for the non-serer service areas of the Township. The sewage management program is to be phased into the Township over the next several years. The most needy areas of the municipality (Siglerville, Knobtown and Locke Mills) are scheduled for the first three implementation phases.
Freedom Township, Blair County, P. O. Box 156, East Freedom, PA 16637. The approved plan provided for expansion of the existing Freedom Township sewage treatment plant from its present .4 mgd capacity to .6 mgd. The additional flows will be used by Blair Township to serve existing sewage disposal needs areas. 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.
Northcentral Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (717) 327-0530.
Gregg Township, Union County. A revision to the Act 537 Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Gregg Township has been approved which will provide sewerage facilities to a 670 acre tract north of the village of Allenwood. The Union County Industrial Development Corporation plans business/light industry/residential-development on this parcel which will generate up to 300,000 gallons per day of wastewater. An extension of the existing Gregg Township Municipal Authority's wastewater collection system will be constructed to serve the new development. A 300,000 gallon per day expansion of the existing Gregg Township Municipal Authority treatment facility will be constructed.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

S. § 6020.505(b)). The AFH site is an abandoned demolition waste processing facility located at 460 North Broad Street, East Bangor Borough, Northampton County, PA.
The AFH facility operated from 1988 to 1997. During that time large stockpiles of the unprocessed waste, the processed wood chips and the processed fines were accumulated at the site. The unprocessed waste and processed wood chip piles have generated subsurface fires that have been an ongoing problem since 1990. The subsurface fires persistently smolder, causing chronic air pollution problems. The fires occasionally flare up, creating more serious air pollution and fire control problems.
After determining that conditions at the site constituted a substantial threat to public health, safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response at the site on or about September 8, 1998. The prompt interim response chosen by the Department involves excavating and extinguishing the burning material, placing the waste material with fire breaks in the onsite quarry, and grading, capping, and revegetating. The Department considered taking no action at the site. Due to the threat to human health and safety and the environment, the Department rejected this option. The Department also considered removing and hauling the wastes to an offsite disposal facility. Because of the large volume of material, this alternative has high costs and would involve a long duration of heavy truck traffic to and from the site. This alternative was therefore rejected.
The Department will extinguish the fire and place the waste material in the quarry with firebreaks to prevent reoccurrence of the fires. A leachate collection system and a gas venting system will be constructed in the quarry. Surface water management controls will be constructed and a cap will be constructed over the waste materials placed in the quarry for containment and to prevent infiltration of water. A portion of the old fines pile will be graded and held in place by vegetation.
The administrative record contains information that was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, from September 19, 1998 until December 17, 1998 at the Department's Bethlehem District Office located at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017.
Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person if delivered, or by mail if postmarked on or before December 17, 1998, to the attention of Ronald Schock, Project Officer--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Section, at the Bethlehem District Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for November 5, 1998 at 7 p.m. at the East Bangor Fire Company. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before October 27, 1998 by calling Ronald Schock at (610) 861-2070 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD). If no person registers to present oral comments by October 27, 1998, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, or if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Ronald Schock.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. 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 HSCA. Questions concerning the site may be directed to Ronald Schock at (610) 861-2070.

Preamble 4
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the Act 2 (Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act) remediation standards. Plans and reports required by provisions of Act 2 for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report, and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears.
