   Outfall 002 is an emergency overflow from the ash water storage tank. The water in this tank is used for ash conditioning. Make-up water is from cooling tower blowdown, boiler blowdown and backwash water from the demineralizer treatment plant. Overflows from this tank are infrequent, occurring only under abnormal plant conditions. In the event of an overflow, monitoring is required for those parameters which are expected to be present in this type of wastewater.

   Outfall 003 contains tray, bench and general washdown water from the greenhouse operation. The approximate flow is normally 500 gpd, but increases to 5,000 gpd during bulb potting operations. BEJ based limits for oil and grease and pH for this outfall are as follows:

	Monthly	Instantaneous
Parameter	Average (mg/l)	Maximum (mg/l)
Oil and Grease	15.0	30.0
pH	6.0 to 9.0 standard units at all times

   Monitoring is required to verify the presence of or concentrations of pesticides at Outfall 003.

Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges

---

   The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewaters into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Proposed Interim Response
Mays/Messner Site
North Fayette Township, Allegheny County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is proposing a response action for the Mays/Messner Site (site). The site is located along routes 22 and 978 in North Fayette Township in Allegheny County. The site consists of approximately acre of the approximately 65-acre Messner property. Included are four roll-off containers of mixed waste and crushed drums and one tank of liquid waste illegally disposed of on the site as well as contaminated soils.

   The tarps that once covered the roll-off containers are now torn and in poor condition. The mixed waste and crushed drums in the roll-off containers are exposed to the elements, in particular, precipitation, which will result in further deterioration of the drums and continued run-off of contaminated water. The roll-off containers and the tank of liquid are leaking and there is visible waste material on the ground as well as significant staining of the site soils.

   Photo ionizer detector (PID) readings taken near a vent pipe on the tank gave values of 800-1020 PPM. Department sampling conducted at the site identified hazardous substances according to 40 CFR Part 302 and HSCA section 103 in the waste samples and soil samples collected. The following hazardous substances were identified at the site:  Acetone, Benzene, Carbon Disulfide, Dichlorofluoromethane, Dichloromethane, Ethylbenzene, Cumene, 4-Methyl-2-pentanone, m/p and o-Xylene, Naphthalene, n-Propylbenzene, Styrene, Toluene, Anthracene, Benzo(a)anthracene, Benzo(b)fluoranthene, Benzo(k)fluoranthene, Benzo(g,h,i)perylene, Benzo(a)pyrene, Chrysene, Fluoranthene, Indene-1,2,3-cd-pyrene, p-Cresol, Bis(2ethylhexyl)phthalate, Phenanthrene, Phenol and Pyrene.

   As documented above, there was a release and is a threat of release of hazardous substances. Samples taken from the soils contain hazardous substances including Naphthalene and Styrene above Act 2 Soil to Groundwater Standards. Direct contact, inhalation and ingestion threats exist from the waste materials in the roll-off containers, waste materials on the ground and the liquid waste in the tank. In addition, the organic vapors in the tank pose a possible fire-explosion hazard.

   The Department proposes an interim response at the site that will address direct contact, ingestion, inhalation and environmental threats created by the exposed waste and eliminate the fire/explosion hazard created by the tank of liquid waste.

   The following alternatives were considered in addressing the conditions at this site:  1)  No Department action; 2)  Fence the area of contamination, re-tarp the roll-off containers and monitor the site periodically; 3)  Remove and dispose of the waste materials and crushed drums present in the roll-off containers and tank, scrap the roll-off containers and tank, and remove and dispose of the visibly contaminated surface soils.

   The Department proposes using Alternative Three to address the threats at the site. Alternative One would not adequately protect human health and the environment. Alternative Two would not be permanent, and could not prevent waste on the ground from migrating by the surface water pathway. Alternative Three meets the Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Regulations (ARARs) to the extent possible.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, containing information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Southwest Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

   The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Gary Mechtly at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering to this office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department scheduled the hearing on January 19, 1999, at 7 p.m. at the N. Fayette Township Municipal Building, 400 N. Branch Road, Oakdale. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Betsy Mallison before January 15 by telephone at (412) 442-4182 or in writing at PA DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Mallison or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Submission Date
for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants
under Act 101 Section 902 of
the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and
Waste Reduction Act

   The Department of Environmental Protection announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101) (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904). Municipalities eligible for recycling grants include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. Authorities are not eligible to apply for the grants, but may be sponsored by a municipality.

   The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority in the order they are listed. Intergovernmental cooperative projects within any category will receive higher priority.

   1.  Projects implemented by a municipality, mandated by Act 101 to have a curbside recycling program, that establish or maintain compliance with the recycling requirements including:

   a)  programs for the collection of recyclables and leaf or yard waste from residential, and/or commercial, institutional and municipal establishments.

   b)  semi-annual public information and education programs required under Act 101 Section 1501(d) concerning recycling program features and requirements for the residential, commercial, institutional and municipal sectors; and,

   2.  Implementation of a curbside recycling, drop-off recycling or composting program.

   3.  Replacement equipment for the collection or processing of recyclables or leaf and yard wastes.

   4.  General recycling education projects.

   5.  Expansion of existing public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.

   6.  New public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.

   Municipalities are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the Financially Distressed Municipalities Act (53 P. S. §§ 1701.101--1701.501), are eligible for an additional 10% of approved costs.

   The following recyclable materials diverted from the municipal solid waste will be considered as eligible for grant funding:  clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, plastics, source separated food scraps, and leaf and yard wastes.

   Eligible recycling program development costs include:  recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; development of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts for procuring equipment or services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.

   Eligible recycling program implementation costs include:  purchasing or leasing vehicles used to collect recyclables, transport recyclables to processing facilities or markets, and vehicles used in the operation of a materials recovery facility; reusable containers for the collection or storage of recyclable materials; acquiring and/or renovating buildings for the processing or storage of recovered materials; equipment used to process or manufacture recyclable materials into usable products; improvements to land needed to operate a recycling facility or yard waste composting facility; and the costs associated with educating the public on recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audio-visual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages,'' and school or special event programs. Composting projects and programs will be considered to be recycling projects or programs accordingly. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.

   Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the recycling program used for recycling and other purposes will be pro-rated according to its recycling use. Funding for certain leaf and yard waste collection equipment may be limited according to its seasonal use. Funding for wood processing equipment will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines or in cases where the equipment is used cooperatively among two or more municipalities.

   Funding may be restricted in situations where equipment or services requested through a grant application may be available from the public or private sector within the county of the applicant. Public notices may be required before the grant application may be submitted depending upon the nature of the funding request. When the municipality submits the recycling grant application to the Department, it must include proof of compliancewith the notification requirements, a description of any responses received to the notice, and an explanation of why the municipality has concluded the mechanical processing equipment is not available to the program from the private sector.

   It is strongly recommended that potential applicants contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator listed below to schedule a pre-application conference to discuss application requirements. Grant application forms are available from DEP Regional and Central offices.

   Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. February 18, 1999. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with two copies submitted to the appropriate DEP Regional Office. All grant awards will be predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of Act 101, and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

   Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Todd Pejack, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
