Location: Delaware Canal State Park Theodore Roosevelt Picnic Area, south of Raubsville on S. R. 0611 in Williams Township, Northampton County. Project Description: This project proposes the modernization of restroom facilities at the existing Theodore Roosevelt Recreational Area in the Delaware Canal State Park. The project will replace existing vault latrines with flush facilities. The proposed 800 gpd of sewage flows will be treated by a DEP permitted small flow treatment facility with a discharge to the Delaware River. The treatment facilities will consist of dual septic tanks, a 500 gallon duplex dosing pump tank, 4 free access intermittent recirculating sand filters (400 sf minimum filter area), a 500 gallon recirculation discharge pump/tank and 415 gallon chlorine erosion disinfection tank.
This small flow treatment facility will be owned and operated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. A new well will be drilled to supply water to the project.

Under Act 2, 1995
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. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

APPROVALS TO CONDUCT COAL AND NONCOAL ACTIVITIES
Bureau of Deep Mine Safety
Request for Variance
Canterbury Coal Company The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Canterbury Coal Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the DiAnne Mine. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Trader by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Canterbury Coal Company requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the DiAnne Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval can be summarized in the following statements:
1. DiAnne's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, and audible alarm over the mine communication system.
2. DiAnne's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. DiAnne's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in DiAnne's plan and the following conditions:
1. Fire protection shall be installed and maintained on all belt conveyors in compliance with Federal standards.
2. Carbon monoxide (CO) sensors shall be set to alarm at the lowest practicable setting.
GM & S Coal Corporation The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved GM & S Coal Corporation's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Geronimo Mine. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Trader by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: GM & S Coal Corporation requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Geronimo Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval can be summarized in the following statements:
1. Geronimo's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, and audible alarm over the mine communication system.
2. Geronimo's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. Geronimo's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Geronimo's plan.
