LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notice(s) of Intent to Remediate Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent (NOI) to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a NOI to Remediate is used to identify a site where an individual proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Individuals intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must file a NOI to Remediate with DEP. A NOI to Remediate filed with DEP provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future use of the site. An individual who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the Act, will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by DEP. Furthermore, an individual shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible individuals not participating in the remediation.
Under Sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the Act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the NOI to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following identified site(s), proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30-days of the following specified date. During this comment period the municipality may request that the following identified individual, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.
Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

AIR QUALITY
PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has developed an integrated plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for DEP, the regulated community and the general public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to submit permitting documents relevant to its application for all sources related to a facility or a proposed project, affords an opportunity for public input, and provides for a decision on the issuance of the necessary permits.
The DEP received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, DEP's analysis, all pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application and subsequently prepared proposed plan approvals/operating permits are available for public review during normal business hours at the appropriate DEP Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate DEP Regional Office. The address and telephone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.
Individuals wishing to file a written protest or provide comments or additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of a permit, may submit the information to the DEP's Regional Office. A 30-day comment period from the date of this publication will exist for the submission of comments, protests and information. Each submission must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval/Operating Permit including the permit number and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to issuance of the permit.
Any individual wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period. A public hearing may be held, if DEP, in its discretion, decides that a hearing is warranted based on the information received. Persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper, the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, when DEP determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate DEP Regional Office.
Permits issued to the owners or operators of sources subject to 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter D or E, or located within a Title V facility or subject to 25 Pa. Code § 129.51(a) or permits issued for sources with limitations on their potential to emit used to avoid otherwise applicable Federal requirements may be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for review and approval as a revision to the State Implementation Plan. Final Plan Approvals and Operating Permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the sources are constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015), 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121—145, the Federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 7401—7671q) and regulations adopted under the Federal Clean Air Act.

Kennett Township is proposing to perform the following water obstruction and encroachment activities associated with the addition of 7,300+/- foot long asphalt roadside path along Chandler Mill Road parallel to the West Branch Red Clay Creek (TSF-MF) in Kennett Township, Chester County, as part of the Kennett Greenway initiative.
The 6-8` wide asphalt path is proposed to be located between the roadway and the creek with a 2-4` wide vegetated buffer between the roadway and the path. Streambank stabilization is also proposed in three locations where the existing creek is causing erosion near the existing roadway. There are impacts to two Palustrine Emergent Wetlands (EV) resulting in 1,902 sq. ft. (0.043 acre) of permanent direct impacts and 1,076 sq. ft. (0.024 acre) of temporary direct impacts through the extension of existing cross pipes and outfalls. There are also impacts associated with the West Branch Red Clay Creek (TSF-MF) resulting in 2,006 sq. ft. (0.046 acre) of permanent impacts and 10,796 sq. ft (0.247 acre) of temporary direct impacts due to installation of the Geosynthetic Reinforced Slope (GRS) system. There are impacts to two unnamed tributaries to the East Branch Red Clay Creek (TSF-MF) resulting in 1,625 sq. ft. (0.037 acre) of permanent direct impacts and 250 sq. ft. (0.005 acre) of temporary direct impacts due to the extension of cross pipes under Chandler Mill Road and the proposed asphalt pedestrian path. There are permanent direct floodway impacts of 20,456 sq. ft. (0.469 acre) and temporary direct floodway impacts of 5,129 sq. ft. (0.117 acre) due to installation of GRS system and vegetation plantings, extension of pipe culvert beneath Chandler Mill Road, and use of E&S controls. The FEMA delineated 100-year floodplain will also be impacted resulting in 43,058 sq. ft. (0.988 acre) of permanent direct impacts through the placement of fill material, new pipe outfalls, and new pavement, and temporary direct impacts of 16,072 sq. ft. (0.368 acre) from the use of temporary access, grading and E&S controls.
This project is located in Kennett Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania (USGS PA Quadrangle).
