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).

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.
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).

48-00027D: Bethlehem Landfill Company, 2335 Applebutter Road, Bethlehem, PA 18015, Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County. Application received: August 10, 2022.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.44(a) and 127.45(a), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has received a Plan Approval application for an increase in the landfill volumetric design capacity of approximately 2,304,900 yd3 (CY) of additional net volumetric MSW disposal capacity. The proposed expansion is comprised of both a horizontal/lateral expansion and a vertical expansion on existing disposal areas. The expansion area will utilize the existing landfill gas collection system, which is one (1) landfill gas flare currently installed at their facility. This change does not represent an increase in allowable tonnage per day and no other current emission limits in the facility Title V permit will change as a result of this modification. Emissions will be minimized through the use of daily, intermediate, and final cover systems. The existing LFG collection and control system will be progressively expanded into the new waste disposal area per PADEP BAT requirements and applicable permit requirements to capture LFG. Operation of the GCCS will be in accordance with the Title V permit, NSPS Subpart XXX and NESHAP Subpart AAAA. The Plan Approval will contain additional recordkeeping, testing, and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements. The facility currently has a Title V Operating Permit No. 48-00027. This plan approval will, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450, be incorporated into the Title V Operating Permit through an administrative amendment at a later date.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0. Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 77.522 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters DEP may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
