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.
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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Decree
Millcreek Dump Site
Millcreek Township, Erie County
Under section 122 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622, and section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Decree concerning settlement of the Department's Complaint against Kondu Corporation (Kondu). The Department's Complaint concerns the response costs that the Department has incurred and will incur to clean up the Millcreek Dump Site in Erie County, PA. The Department's Complaint is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, at Doc. No. 93-297 (Erie).
The Department has incurred over $700,000 in past response costs, and estimates that it will incur over $4 million in response costs in the future at the Millcreek Dump Site. However, based upon Kondu's limited ability to pay, the Department has agreed to settle its Complaint against Kondu for $130,000. The specifics of the Department's settlement with Kondu are set forth in the Consent Decree.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Decree for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Consent Decree if the comments concerning the Consent Decree disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Consent Decree is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Kondu shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments to the Consent Decree and upon the United States District Court's approval of the Consent Decree.
Copies of the Consent Decree are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA and at the United States District Courthouse in Erie, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Hal Beavers, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Hal Beavers at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
Notice of Further Investigation
Mays/Phillips Lane Site
Robinson Township, Allegheny County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.101 et seq.) (HSCA), has proposed a further investigation response at the Mays Phillips Lane site.
The Mays Phillips Lane site is located in Robinson Township, Allegheny County, off of Phillips Lane. The property consists of approximately 38 acres and was the former location of the terminal for the Mays Corporation. Wastes were illegally buried throughout the property. Contaminated groundwater seeps can be observed along the hillsides in several different locations on the property. Wastes are also present on the surface of the ground. Samples taken from the seeps and site soils have detected the following contaminants: Benzene, Ethyl-benzene, Isopropyl benzene, n-Propylbenzene, Styrene, Naphthalene, Toluene, m-/p-Xylenes, o-Xylenes, 1,3,5-Trimethyl Benzene, 1,2,4-Trimethyl Benzene, 4-Isopropyl Toluene, n-Butyl Benzene, Methyl-t-Butyl Ether, Anthracene, Trichloroethane, Flouranthene, Flourene, Pyrene, Phenanthrene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(k)flouranthene and Chrysene.
The Department intends to conduct a site investigation at the Mays Phillips Lane Site (site) to determine the extent of contamination, type, nature and volume of waste that exists at the site. The investigation will determine the depths and lateral extent of contaminated soils, location and volume of buried waste, the characterization of the groundwater aquifers and qualify any threat posed by the site. The Department will use the information from the investigation to determine if the site poses a threat to human health and the environment and if necessary, what remediation is appropriate for this site.
The Department considered the following alternatives for the investigation of this site: 1) No Action, 2) Further Investigation.
Alternative 2 is proposed by the Department because past samples from the site soils and groundwater seeps indicate that illegal disposal activities have taken place on this property. Upon completion of the investigation, the Department should have sufficient information to determine if additional remediation is needed and the most efficient and appropriate methods to complete the remediation of this site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 and is available for review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from December 19, 1998, to March 19, 1999. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending the comments to Terry Goodwald at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 or by delivering the comments to the Department's Southwest Regional Office at the address listed previously.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on February 11, 1999, at 7 p.m. at Robinson Township Municipal Building, 1000 Churchhill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205, (412) 788-8120. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register with Rita Zettelmayer before February 8, 1999, at (412) 442-4000 or in writing to Terry Goodwald, Pennsylvania DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the meeting and/or comment, and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Caitlyn Murphy directly at (412) 442-4000 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Preamble 4
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards 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 Remediation 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.
