The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated before each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for such certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa.

Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. Such NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the previous, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the previously mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Settlement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
M. W. Manufacturing Site, Valley Township, Montour County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a proposed settlement with Nassau Metals Corporation, formerly AT&T Nassau Metals Corporation (Nassau), regarding past response costs incurred by the Department at the M. W. Manufacturing Site (Site) located in Valley Township, Montour County.
Historically, M. W. Manufacturing Company operated a metal reclamation business at the Site and specialized in recovering copper and lead from electrical and telephone wire and cable it bought as scrap. Nassau sent scrap wire and cable to the M. W. Manufacturing Company for processing and disposal at the Site. M. W. Manufacturing Company's operations involved separating the plastic insulation from the metal wire, stockpiling the discarded insulation on Site and recovering and salvaging the metal for resale. These activities resulted in releases of hazardous substances and contaminants to the environment at the Site. Based upon a preliminary characterization of the Site, heavy metals and organic solvents have been detected. It is believed that hazardous substances and/or contaminates associated with the Site have migrated, spilled or were placed on neighboring properties. There is a threat to the public health, safety and the environment from the continued release and threat of release of hazardous substances and contaminants at and from the Site.
The Department has determined that response actions are and were necessary to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances and contaminants at the Site. The Department and Nassau entered into a proposed Consent Order and Agreement (COA). Under terms of the proposed settlement, Nassau will pay the Department $120,000 as reimbursement for past response costs.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the 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 COA that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed COA can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701 by contacting Michael Welch at (570) 321-6525. A public comment period on the proposed COA will extend for 60 days from November 30, 2002. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed COA to the Department by January 29, 2003, by submitting them to Michael C. Welch, Environmental Program Manager at the previous address.
