LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 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 submission of 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's remediation standards. 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 analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. 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.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting For the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reid Run Watersheds in Clarion County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding public meetings to discuss and accept comments on proposed TMDLs for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reids Run Watersheds in Clarion County. The meetings will be held on December 16, 2008, beginning at 9 a.m. at the Knox District Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDLs were developed in accordance with the requirements of The Clean Water Act, section 303(d). Two stream segments in the Brush Run Watershed and one segment in both the Gathers and Reids Run Watersheds have been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals and depressed pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 49502 Brush Run 2.6 49508 UNT Brush Run 1.1 49524 Gathers Run 1.0 49530 Reids Run 3.40 The proposed plans provide 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/ Dissolved Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for these watersheds is abandoned mine workings. These watersheds were heavily mined for coal in the late 19th century and mining continues on a smaller scale today. 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 established for permitted point sources.
The TMDLs were 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 TMDLs.
The TMDLs set allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the Watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over a 2 year period.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDLs and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.
The proposed TMDLs for the Brush Run, Gathers Run and Reids Run Watersheds can be accessed through the Department's web site www.dep.state.pa.us by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field and clicking GO.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by January 29, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Monday December 15, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

Junior Coal Contracting, Inc., GFCC No. 14-07-01, Ridge Operation, Rush Township, Centre County (Trout Run to Moshannon Creek--Upper West Branch Watershed): A no-cost construction contract has been awarded to Junior Coal Contracting, Inc., that will result in the reclamation of approximately 22.6 acres of abandoned mine land, the reclamation of 2,150-feet of abandoned highwall and the daylighting and reclamation of 20.2 acres of abandoned deep mines. The site will be reclaimed and regraded to approximate original contour. Alkaline addition in the form of waste lime will be added to the mining area. A total of 30,700 tons of alkaline waste lime will placed on the site. The estimated value of the reclamation work is $298,200 which will be done at no cost to the Commonwealth. The site is located just north of Sandy Ridge on lands formerly mined and subsequently abandoned by Blair Brothers Coal Company (deep mine) in the early 1900s and Dugan Coal Mining Company (surface mine) in the late 1940s. Blasting has been approved as part of the reclamation activities. Refuse reprocessing is prohibited at the site.
