An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department 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. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of cleanup standards or 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 contamination identified in reports submitted to and ap-proved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following site, 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 date specified as follows. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified 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.

41-00089A: James C. Maneval Funeral Home, Ltd. (1002 Allegheny Street, Jersey Shore, PA 17740) for the construction and operation of a new Matthew International model IE-43-PPI 150 pounds per hour human cremation unit at facility located in Jersey Shore Borough, Lycoming County. The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the information submitted by James C. Maneval Funeral Home, Ltd indicates that the air contamination source to be constructed will comply with all regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants including the best available technology requirement (BAT) of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. The potential annual emission from the cremation unit at the facility will not exceed the following limits: VOCs/HAPs—0.05 ton; PM10—0.76 ton; CO—0.48 ton; NOx—0.58 ton; and SO2—0.35 ton. The plan approval includes emission restrictions for PM and opacity. The PM standard established at 0.08 gr/dscf, corrected to 7% pursuant to BAT will assure compliance with the applicable State-wide standard as specified in 25 Pa. Code § 123.12. The opacity standards are established to be equal to or greater 10% for period or periods aggregating more than 3 minutes in any one hour or no more than 30% at any time. The cremator shall only be fired on natural gas and/or liquid petroleum (LP) gas. The facility is required to continuously monitor opacity as well as continuously monitor and record the primary and secondary combustion chambers temperatures to assure the source is operated and maintained in accordance with good air pollution control practices. Based on the findings presented above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed construction. If the Department determines that the source is constructed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions including the specifications in the application, the plan approval will be incorporated into a State-Only operating permit which will be required to be filed no later than 120 days upon request by the Department.

MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed 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 (Department) 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* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. 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 Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department 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.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

E26-07-005: Burnett Oil Company, Inc., 801 Cherry Street, Unity 9, Fort Worth, TX 76102, Springhill Township, Fayette County, ACOE Pittsburgh District.
Burnett Oil Company, Inc. is proposing to install 0.99 mile of permanent gravel access road and the 119,500 square foot Coastal-Central Well Pad (N 39° 44` 21.48", W 79° 47` 10.68") in Springhill Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The well pad is located approximately 0.59 mile Southwest of State Route 3004 (Wymps Gap Road) and approximately 0.59 mile East of State Route 857 (Springhill Furnace Road). The proposed access road will be 16 feet wide with additional spaces required for road construction and stormwater management.
The entire project area is approximately 23.3 acres and consists primarily of meadow and woodlands. The project will result in no wetland crossings and five (5) watercourse crossings, including a Wild Trout Reproduction stream, resulting in a total of 348 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Per PA Fish and Boat Commission recommendations, no instream construction shall occur from October 1 to December 31 to protect wild trout spawning and egg disposition behavior. Four individuals of the tree species Oxydendrum arboreum (Sourwood) was found in the project area and, per a letter from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), will be relocated to an area outside of the limit of disturbance. All disturbed areas except for the described access road and well pad will be stabilized and seeded upon construction completion. The project is a Joint Permit Application due to the crossing of a stream where the drainage area is greater than 1 square mile (based on USGS StreamStats).
Each of the following crossings will be crossed by the permanent access road previously mentioned:
