The GP1 is utilized to authorize the construction of four boilers. These are Boilers # 9, # 10, # 11, and # 12. Boiler # 9 is a temporary, 27.3 MMBtu/hr, NG with backup FO-fired, rental boiler. It will be inactivated when construction of the other three boilers is complete. Boilers # 10, # 11, and # 12 will be permanent additions to the facility and are described as follows.
The primary sources at the boiler house will be six boilers and two emergency engines. Five boilers (Boilers # 4, # 5, # 6, # 10, # 11, and # 12), with rated Heat Inputs of 8.4 MMBtu/hr, 8.4 MMBtu/hr, 25.1 MMBtu/hr, 25.1 MMBtu/hr, and 25.1 MMBtu/hr are natural gas-fired with distillate oil backup. The other boiler (Boiler # 7), with a rated Heat Input of 10.043 MMBtu/hr, only burns natural gas. The facility also contains two, 909-bhp, emergency, diesel generator engines.
No emission or equipment changes have been approved by this action.

PREAMBLE 2
The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under The Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act (35 P.S. §§ 6021.101—6021.2104).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 245, Subchapter D, Administration of the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Program, require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A remedial action plan is submitted to summarize the site characterization, document the design and construction details for the remedial action, and describe how the remedial action will attain the selected remediation standard. The remedial action plan also provides results of studies performed and data collected to support the remedial action and a description of pos tremediation care requirements. A remedial action completion report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to the selected remediation standard. A remedial action completion 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the DEP Regional Office under 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 listed.

CORRECTIVE ACTION UNDER
ACT 32, 1989
PREAMBLE 3
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Has Taken Action on The Following Plans and Reports Under The Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act (35 P.S. §§ 6021.101—6021.2104).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 245, Subchapter D, Administration of the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Program, require DEP to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports.
A remedial action plan is submitted to summarize the site characterization, document the design and construction details for the remedial action, and describe how the remedial action will attain the selected remediation standard. The remedial action plan also provides results of studies performed and data collected to support the remedial action and a description of post remediation care requirements. A remedial action completion report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to the selected remediation standard. A remedial action completion 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.
DEP may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides DEP's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the DEP Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.

REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the UNT South Branch Conewago Creek Watershed in Adams County.
Central Office: Bureau of Clean Water, P.O. Box 8774, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for an Unnamed Tributary to (UNT) the South Branch Conewago Creek under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were caused by excessive siltation due to agriculture.
There currently are no state or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL document sets allowable loading of sediment in the UNT South Branch Conewago Creek Watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for nonpoint sources, reserves for future point sources, as well as margin of safety factors. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the TMDL were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.
