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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

To expand barge loading/unloading facility in Cumberland and Monongahela Townships, Greene County, Pittsburgh United States ACOE District. (Masontown, PA Quadrangle, N: 20.9 inches; W: 7.9 inches, Latitude: 39° 51` 54"; Longitude: 79° 55` 53"). To amend permit No. 3079703, which authorized the construction and maintenance of a series of coal barge mooring and ice breaker cells, to expand the Hatfield's Ferry barge loading/unloading facility by increasing the mooring to 14.9 acres and facilities area to 5.25 acres along the left descending bank of the Monongahela River (WWF), between mile points 78.1--79.1. This unloading facility will impact 567 linear feet of streambank of excavating 18,000 cubic yards of said bank and installing a retaining wall along the length of the new facility. This permit also authorizes maintenance dredging in this new area of river bottom. The amendment also includes several stream crossings over Little Whiteley Creek, consisting of a belt conveyor to transfer limestone from the hopper to a conveyor system on shore, and 3 aerial pipeline crossings (a 6-inch pipeline to transport FGD wastewater, a 12-inch pipeline to convey stormwater runoff, and a 16-inch pipeline to transfer water from their ash settling basins to the FGD scrubber for consumption). All aerial crossings will be installed on top of an existing pipe bridge crossing in a fashion that will not impact any additional length of Little Whitely Creek. An intake structure will also be installed in the above mentioned ash settling basin to transport water through the 16-inch service line. The permittee will provide stream mitigation on site in 2 areas. They are proposing top plant this river bank with woody species of trees and shrubs. The area is approximately 575 feet long, of which 150 feet (0.24 acre) will be planted with 144 individual trees with unlimited growth potential. The other 435 feet (0.27 acre) will be planted with relatively low-growing shrub species due to the fact that this area has a 500 kV transmission line over it, and they must provide for vertical clearance. They will be planting a total of 240 shrubs.

NPDES Permit No. PA0064041. On August 16, 2007, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued the permit to Lehigh Heavy Forge Corporation for the discharge of industrial wastewater from its iron and steel forging facilities located in the City of Bethlehem, Northampton County. On October 9, 2007, Lehigh Heavy Forge Corporation filed an appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board challenging the Department's issuance of NPDES Permit No. PA0064041. On January 25, 2008, the Department vacated the August 16, 2007 issuance of NPDES Permit No. PA0064041 to allow for reconsideration of the permit application in accordance with the terms of a settlement agreement entered into by the Department and Lehigh Heavy Forge Corporation. Also on January 25, 2008, pending reconsideration of the application, the Department reinstated NPDES Permit No. PA0011177 retroactive to August 17, 2007, which was the permit that previously governed the discharge from the Lehigh Heavy Forge facility prior to August 16, 2007.
