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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting
For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) for Craig Run Watershed in
Armstrong and Indiana CountiesGreensburg District Mining Office: Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on May 28, 2008, beginning at 2 p.m. at the Greensburg District Office in Greensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Craig Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 46415 Craig Run 1.0 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion
value (mg/l)Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0--9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.
The 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 dataset 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 TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals, sediment and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected throughout 2005 and 2006.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Scott Bradley at (724) 925-5519 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA 15601. E-mail will be received at scbradley@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The proposed TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by June 26, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. Friday, May 23rd. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

Request for Comments and
Notice of Public Meeting for the
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs) Developed for the Harbridge
Run WatershedThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on May 28, 2008, at 11 a.m., at Greensburg District Mining Office, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Harbridge Run Watershed in Westmoreland County. In accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act, stream segments in Harbridge Run have been identified as impaired due to siltation from abandoned mining activities.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings for sediment in Harbridge Run in order for the stream to meet water quality standards. The TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and sediment at specified points in the watersheds. All of the allocations made in these TMDLs are load allocations made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Tom Kovalchuk, Armbrust Building, 8205 Route 819, Greensburg, PA, at (724) 925-5520 or tkovalchuk@state.pa.us.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than 60 days from the date of this bulletin notice. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
