LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 3
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 remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act 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 Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report 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 (800) 654-5984.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of Brownfields Inventory Grants under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA). This is the second round of grants under the Department's Brownfields Inventory Grant program. Grant applications for this round of grants must be received by the Department on or before November 1, 1999.
Under the Department's Brownfields Inventory Grant program the Department will provide grants to municipalities and economic development agencies to inventory the brownfield properties in their areas. If these brownfield properties are available for redevelopment, the Grantee will gather information about infrastructure, suspected or confirmed environmental contamination, and other related information. The Grantee will then list the site on the Pennsylvania Brownfields Directory.
Municipalities and economic development agencies may apply to the Department for these grants by submitting an application. A copy of the application package can be obtained by calling the Department's Land Recycling and Cleanup Program (717) 783-7816 or the application package can be downloaded from the Department's internet web site at: www.dep.state.pa.us.
If the grant is approved, the Grantee will be paid $1,000 for each brownfield site that is identified and entered into the Department's Brownfields Directory. Grants are limited to $50,000.
The Brownfields Inventory Grants will be issued under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305). The HSCA authorizes the Department to investigate and assess potential releases of hazardous substances. This includes collecting information concerning sites that are potentially contaminated with hazardous substances and that may need assessment or cleanup. Funds for the Brownfields Inventory Grants will be provided out of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund.
The term ''brownfields'' shall mean properties that are underutilized and where redevelopment of property is impeded by liabilities associated with known or suspected environmental contamination from hazardous substances.
The term ''municipality'' shall include any County, City, Borough, or Township government in this Commonwealth.
