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).

CORRECTION—previously published on September 21, 2024.
09-00006, United States Steel Corporation (USS)—Mon Valley Works/Fairless Plant, 400 Middle Drive, Fairless Hills, PA 19030, Falls Township, Bucks County. Application received: February 14, 2024. [Note: This notice serves to correct a typographical error in the Title V Operating Permit (TVOP) number and the total rated heat input of the space heaters, as stated in the original notice published on September 21, 2024 (Volume 54, Number 38, pg. 6024). All other information in the original notice is correct as is. In addition, this notice includes information on the natural gas consumption restriction for the miscellaneous natural gas usage source grouping (i.e., the chemtreat dryer, zinc pot preheater, and space heaters) and rated heat input information for the chemtreat dryer and zinc pot preheater.] This action is for the renewal of TVOP No. 09-00006 for the facility. The main sources at the facility are as follows: • The following natural gas-fired secondary steel processing sources: • A galvanizing line furnace with a rated heat input of 68.4 mmBtu/hr. • A galvanneal furnace with a rated heat input of 16 mmBtu/hr. • A boiler rated with a rated heat input of 31.2 mmBtu/hr. • A chemtreat dryer with a rated heat input of 1.2 mmBtu/hr. • A zinc pot preheater with a rated heat input of 1.0 mmBtu/hr. • The following sources to support the facility: • 38 natural gas-fired space heaters with a total rated heat input of 48.75 mmBtu/hr. • A parts washer. The facility is subject to a nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission rate restriction of less than 100 tons/yr and the miscellaneous natural gas usage source grouping is subject to a natural gas consumption restriction of 244,630 mcf/yr. USS previously elected to comply with these restrictions to ensure that the facility is not subject to the additional Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements for major sources of NOx codified at 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.96—129.100 (RACT II). Since the potential to emit NOx for the facility exceeds the major facility threshold of 25 tons/yr for the Southeast Pennsylvania air basin, the facility is categorized as Title V. The average annual NOx emissions from the facility over the previous 5 calendar years are 36.75 tons/yr. Since DEP last renewed the TVOP in October 2019, no physical changes have occurred at the facility. The TVOP will continue to include monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting, and work practice requirements designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements, including all applicable provisions of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc, for the boiler. Anyone wishing to request information regarding this action can do so by contacting the Southeast Regional Office through the contact person previously listed in the header.

Walnut Spring Park in State College, PA is an extremely biodiverse area with visitors exploring the park daily. The footbridge crossing Tributary 23038 of Slab Cabin Run needs replaced as it is approximately 25 years old. The streams narrow channel causes an increase in water velocity to during storm events. Due to the lack of an appropriate foundation and high flow velocity during storm events, the bridge footer is eroded and the bridge is no longer safe. The Borough of State College plans to replace the bridge in Walnut Springs Park. Design parameters will be implemented to ensure any necessary instream or stream bank structures be constructed so erosion problems are eliminated. The bridge design will be able to withstand storm events, while maintaining structural integrity and preventing damage caused by erosion, and meets ADA guidelines. The project proposes 500 square feet of permanent watercourse impacts. Latitude: 40.799068°, Longitude: -77.841691°.
