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—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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 under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears.

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will conduct a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 16, 2018, at the Gunzburger Building, 1 Second Street, Coudersport, PA 16915 to discuss the permitting aspects of the proposed Produced Water Treatment Plant, to be located adjacent to the Coudersport Area Municipal Authority (CAMA) publicly owned treatment works (POTW). The public meeting will be followed by a Department public hearing beginning at 7 p.m. during which time citizens will have an opportunity to present oral testimony regarding the proposed project and application process.
The Department staff will explain the application review process and applicable regulations, and Epiphany Allegheny, LLC officials will provide an overview of the project. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session.
