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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Buffalo Creek Watershed The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) are holding a public meeting on March 4, 2009, at 7 p.m., at the Bucknell University--Dana Engineering Building, Gardner Hall, Room 113, 701 Moore Avenue, Lewisburg, PA 17837. For campus mapping refer to www1.bucknell.edu/map/index.html?by_building=dana_ engineering. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Buffalo Creek Watershed. In accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act, stream segments in Buffalo Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired due to high levels of nutrients and sediment, as a result of agriculture and small residential land uses.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in Buffalo Creek for nutrients and sediment. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using ArcView Generalized Watershed Loading Function, a Department-approved method.
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 (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than 60 days from the date of this Pennsylvania Bulletin notice. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
Postponed Public Comment Period for West Branch Susquehanna TMDL The public comment period for the West Branch Susquehanna River draft TMDL, originally advertised to run from February 14, 2009, through March 16, 2009, has been postponed. Additionally, the public meeting originally scheduled for March 5, 2009, at the Clearfield County Conservation District Office at 7 p.m. has been cancelled. Notice of the draft TMDL availability, dates of the revised public comment period, and the date of the rescheduled public meeting will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and posted on the Department's web site (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/) under West Branch Susquehanna on the pull-down menus. For more information, contact Bill Brown, Department of Environmental Protection, Watershed Management, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717)783-2951.
