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).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of 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 act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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. 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 refuse 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. 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 regional office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Intent to Reissue Pennsylvania General Npdes Permit for Wastewater Discharges from Stripper Oil Well Facilities
(PAG310001) In compliance with the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and sections 1905-A, 1917-A and 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. §§ 510-5, 510-17 and 510-20), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) by this notice announces its intent to review and reissue the Pennsylvania General NPDES Permit for Discharges from Stripper Oil Well Facilities (PAG310001) for a 5-year period. The general permit was initially issued on October 4, 1991, renewed on October 4, 1996, and October 19, 2001. The current general permit is valid until revised and issued in final after reviewing and addressing comments from this public notice.
The Department has reviewed and updated the general permit and related documents. The changes include minor editorial changes. A pollution prevention permit condition was added that requires the operator to minimize the amount of produced water being generated while operating the oil wells.
The documents can also be obtained by writing or contacting the Division of Surface Activities, Bureau of Oil and Gas Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 5th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8765, (717) 772-2199, fax: (717) 772-2291.
By this notice, the Department is requesting public comments on the proposed permit documents. Comments must be received no later than 30 days from the date of this notice. Written comments and suggestions on the proposed documents can also be sent to Melissa Hamsher at the address previously noted or mhamsher@state. pa.us.
Persons with a disability with questions regarding the general permit or seeking information about the general permit or copy of the general permit and associated materials may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling (800) 654-5984 (TDD Users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).
Following the comment period, the Department will consider all comments received and prepare the final set of permit documents. The final availability of the documents will be announced through a public notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Coon Run Watershed in Crawford County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Coon Run watershed in Crawford County. The meeting will be held on February 1, 2007, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Northwest Regional Office in Meadville, Crawford County, PA. Individuals who wish to make a presentation should contact Erin Stuart, Northwest Regional Office at (814) 332-6984 no later than 4 p.m. on January 25, 2007. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Coon Run Watershed, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
The proposed TMDL for the Coon Run Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Coon Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code
(seg ID)Stream Name Miles Degraded 54551 (7751) Coon Run 2.52 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value
(mg/l)Total Recoverable/
DissolvedAluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 30 day average; Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 N/A The primary pollutant source for the watershed is metals impairments caused by nonpoint source pollution.
The proposed TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Coon Run watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected during 2006 were used to develop the TMDL. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.
The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Coon Run Watershed. Written comments must be postmarked by March 6, 2007, and sent to Erin Stuart, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, fax (814) 332-6117, or estuart@state. pa.us.
To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet or to obtain directions to the meeting location, contact Erin Stuart at (814) 332-6984, estuart@ state.pa.us.
The proposed TMDL for the Coon Run watershed can be accessed through the Department's website at www. dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meeting should contact the Department at (814) 472-1900 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
