Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent (NOI) 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. Persons 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 the Department. A NOI 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 mea-sures 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 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 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 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 person, 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 the content of a NOI to Remediate, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.

The Department 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 the Department, 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 Department received applications for Plan Approvals or Operating Permits from the following facilities. Copies of the application, the Department'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 Department Regional Office. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling the appropriate Department Regional Office. The address and phone number of the Regional Office is listed before the application notices.

Persons 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 Department'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.

A person wishing to request a hearing may do so during the 30-day comment period.

Chrin Landfill is a major facility subject to Title V permitting requirements and is located in Williams Township, Northampton County. The flare has destruction efficiency in excess of 98% for non-methane volatile organic compounds. The landfill operation is also subject to NSPS Part 60, Subpart WWW and Subpart XXX, and MACT Part 63, Subpart AAAA. The Operating Permit will include testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements designed to keep the sources operating within all applicable air quality requirements.

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 18711.

Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit No. 48-00037A and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.

A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient.

Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Ray Kempa, Environmental Group Manager, New Source Review Section, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701, Phone 570-826-2511 within 30 days after publication date.

• The landfill shall operate each interior well with a negative pressure, except in the case of a fire or increased well temperature, the use of a geomembrane or synthetic cover, or at a decommissioned well. The pressure at each well shall be measured monthly. If a positive pressure is measured at a well, actions shall be taken to restore negative pressure at that well. If negative pressure cannot be restored within 15 days of the initial positive pressure measurement, the gas collection system shall be expanded within 120 days of the initial positive pressure measurement, unless an alternative timeline is established and approved by the Department. Provided this corrective action timeline is followed for an exceedance, that exceedance is not a deviation of the permit condition. Records shall be kept on file for a period of 5 years and made available to Department personnel upon request.

• The landfill shall operate each interior well at a temperature less than 55C and an oxygen level less than 5 percent (or a nitrogen level less than 20 percent) except in the case of a decommissioned well. An alternate value may be established and approved by the Department for a parameter at a well if appropriate. On a monthly basis, the landfill shall monitor each well for temperature and oxygen (or nitrogen) except in the case of a decommissioned well. If a well exceeds one of these parameters, actions shall be taken to correct the exceedance. If the exceedance cannot be corrected within 15 days of the initial exceedance, the gas collection system shall be expanded within 120 days of the initial exceedance, unless an alternative timeline is established and approved by the Department. Provided this corrective action timeline is followed for an exceedance, that exceedance is not a deviation of the permit condition. Records shall be kept on file for a period of 5 years and made available to Department personnel upon request.

• On a quarterly basis, the landfill shall conduct surface monitoring around the perimeter of the collection area and along a pattern that traverses the landfill at 30-meter intervals. An alternative traversing pattern may be established and approved by the Department. Areas with steep slopes or other dangerous areas may be excluded from monitoring. Records shall be kept on file for a period of 5 years and made available to Department personnel upon request. If a concentration above 500 parts per million (above background) is measured, action shall be taken at that location to correct the exceedance. If the exceedance cannot be corrected within 30 days, the gas collection system shall be expanded within 120 days of the initial exceedance. An alternative timeline for correcting the exceedance may be established and approved by the Department. Provided this corrective action timeline is followed for an exceedance, that exceedance is not a deviation of the permit condition. Any closed landfill with methane concentrations below 500 ppm (above background) in three consecutive quarterly monitoring periods may skip to annual monitoring. Any methane reading of 500 ppm or more (above background) during the annual monitoring returns the frequency for that landfill to quarterly monitoring.

• Operate the control or treatment system at all times when the collected gas is routed to the system.

• The permittee shall perform quarterly monitoring to determine there are no landfill gas leaks which result in concentrations of 500 ppmv or more measured as propane (or 1,375 ppmv or more measured as methane) at a distance of 0.5 inch from any exposed equipment. The landfill equipment subject to this requirement shall include the exposed portions of the gas wells, piping or any other connections or fittings along the landfill gas transfer paths of a landfill gas collection and disposal system. A log shall be kept at the facility indicating any leak that exceeds the above concentration and the corrective action taken for a period of five years and made readily available to Department personnel upon request.

• Petroleum contaminated soils may be used as daily landfill cover provided the VOC emissions from the contaminated soils does not exceed 2.7 tpy based on a consecutive 12-month period. The facility shall keep records of the petroleum contaminated soil received at the landfill. The following information shall be recorded:

• Tons of contaminated soil received.

• Contaminate type (PHC or BTEX)

• PHC is total petroleum hydrocarbons

• BTEX is benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes

• The maximum and average PHC and/or BTEX concentration (from Waste Management Form FC-1) expressed in mg/kg.

• Potential VOC emissions shall be calculated as follows:

• PHC (expressed as mg/kg) × 10-6 × tons of soil = tons of VOC

• BTEX (expressed as mg/kg) × 10-6 × tons of soil = tons of VOC

• Quarterly reports shall be submitted to the Department of the VOC emissions within 30-days of the end of each calendar quarter.

• This condition will be deleted after the Department approves the facility BMP for preventing particulate matter from becoming airborne [See Condition # 010(a)]. 25 Pa. Code § 273.217 requires landfill operators to implement fugitive dust control measures. This criterion specifies the reasonable actions that are necessary for the prevention of fugitive dust emissions from the operation of landfills in accordance with these requirements. The Fugitive Emission Control Criteria are as follows:

• Parking lots/areas and the landfill access roadways from the public highway to the landfill and other haul roads inside the landfill shall be paved, maintained, and cleaned by vacuum, sweeping or any other approved means. All parking lots/areas shall be cleaned at least weekly and the access roadways cleaned at least daily unless an alternative approval is granted.

• The access roadways if unpaved at the unloading areas (active cells) shall have a crown so that water runs off and does not pool. Water or other dust suppressants shall be applied to the unpaved road surface to reduce fugitive dusts. Water, if used, shall be applied at least twice a day, weather permitting. Dust suppressants, if used, shall be applied as needed, but at least once a month.

• Water or other dust suppressants shall be applied on the shoulder of access roadways and the shoulder of the public highway for a distance of 500 feet in both directions. Water, if used shall be applied at least twice a day, weather permitting. Dust suppressants, if used, shall be applied at least once a month. Application of dust suppressants on the public highway shall be done in accordance with the appropriate Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penn DOT) Bulletins.

• No waste oil shall be used as dust suppressant for the unpaved surface.

• Earth or other material deposited by trucking or other means on the paved roadways, including public highway, shall be promptly removed from the paved roadways.

• Upon leaving the landfill, the undercarriage, wheels and chassis of the vehicles which were used to transport wastes and earth shall be washed, as necessary, to prevent earthen carryout onto roadways.

• All trucks entering the landfill shall be covered.

• A speed limit of 15 miles per hour shall be observed on all paved access roadways and 10 miles per hour on all unpaved areas. Speed limit signs shall be posted consistent with the requirements of PennDOT (overall dimension 30" x 24", ''SPEED LIMIT'' in 4-inch letters and 10-inch numerals).

• This condition will be deleted after the Department approves the facility BMP for preventing particulate matter from becoming airborne [See Condition # 010(a)]. A detailed record describing the time, location, type and amount of roadway surface treatment shall be maintained at the landfill site for at least five years. As a minimum, the record shall include the following:

• For paved roads and parking lot areas:

• Daily log of engine run time and odometer reading for the vacuum sweeper.

• Daily log of time and location of any maintenance.

• Identification, time and location of any maintenance, repairs, patching or repaving of roads.

• A log explaining the reasons any required vacuum sweeping was not performed.

• For unpaved roads and shoulders of paved roads:

• Log of time and location of treated areas.

• Daily log of meter reading of spray-bar and/or pump and odometer reading of trucks used to apply dust suppressants and the identification of such dust suppressants.

• Daily log of the dilution ratios of the dust suppressants and dilutants used if chemical suppressants are used.

• Purchase records of the chemical suppressants, if used.

• Quarterly reports of the above records shall be submitted to the Department. The reports shall be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter.

• The facility shall submit a BMP to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne to the Department for approval within 90 days after plan approval issuance. The BMP should incorporate the provisions in Condition # 010(a) and (b). BAT for MSW landfills is to take all reasonable actions to prevent particulate matter from becoming airborne. MSW landfill owners and operators should determine their site-specific BMPs, which generally will include one or more of the following:

• Paved and unpaved internal roadways should not be allowed to generate excessive dust emissions or the tracking of dirt/soils onto public roads (carryout). BMPs to prevent excessive emissions and carryout include, but are not limited to, sweeping and/or use of a tire washing system. Relevant factors to determine whether such activities are a BMP include the length of the paved road between unpaved portions of truck traffic and the public road, the type of soils at the landfill, weather, etc. Generally, whether sweeping or tire washing is necessary should be a function of actual, daily site conditions.

• Water or other chemical dust suppressants could be applied to the unpaved road surface to reduce fugitive dusts, if necessary, based on daily site conditions. Water, if used, shall not be applied if the result would be a potentially unsafe condition, such as ice formation. In no event shall waste oil be used as a dust suppressant.

• An appropriate speed limit will be established within 120 days of the issuance of the Plan Approval and posted on all unpaved roadways within the MSW landfill. The MSW landfill owner or operator will submit the proposed speed limit to DEP, in writing, for approval. If the proposed speed limit is approved, it will be incorporated into the MSW landfill's air quality's operating permit. The owner or operator of the landfill should post speed limit signs consistent with the requirements of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) (overall dimension 20 inches x 24 inches, ''SPEED LIMIT'' in 4-inch letters and 10-inch numerals).

• Parking lots/areas and the landfill access roadways from the public highway to the landfill and other haul roads inside the landfill shall be paved, maintained, and cleaned by vacuum sweeping or any other approved means. The vacuum sweeping should be performed when necessary.

• Upon leaving the landfill, the undercarriage, wheels and chassis of the vehicles which were used to transport wastes and earth should be washed to prevent earthen carryout onto roadways.

• The access roadways if unpaved at the unloading areas (active cells) should have a crown and/or pitch so that water runs off and does not pool. Water or other chemical dust suppressants should be applied to the unpaved road surface to reduce fugitive dusts. Water or chemical dust suppressants should also be applied as needed.

• Water or other chemical dust suppressants should be applied on the shoulder of access roadways and the shoulder of the public highway for a distance of 500 feet in both directions. Water, if used, should be applied at least twice per day. Chemical dust suppressants, if used, should be applied at least once per month. Application of dust suppressants on the public highway should be done in accordance with the appropriate PennDOT Bulletins.

• Earth or other materials should not be deposited by trucking or other means on the public roadways. MSW landfills shall take all reasonable steps necessary to meet this performance standard.

• If any earth or other material is deposited by trucking or other means on public roadways, it shall be removed promptly.

• Records describing those fugitive dust control activities that were undertaken should be maintained for on-site review by DEP personnel.

• A written manual documenting the BMPs utilized at the MSW landfill to control fugitive particulate matter emissions should be maintained on-site.

• The company shall keep sufficient records to demonstrate that the BMPs are being implemented.

• The BMP manual and records documenting implementation of the BMPs should be maintained at the office of the MSW landfill for 5 years and shall be made available to DEP upon request.

• 40 CFR 60.753—Not applicable until uncontrolled NMOC emissions are equal to or greater than 50 Mg per year as calculated according to 40 CFR 60.754(a) of the MSW Landfills New Source Performance Standards in 40 CFR Part 60, WWW.

• 40 CFR 60.755—Not applicable until uncontrolled NMOC emissions are equal to or greater than 50 Mg per year as calculated according to 40 CFR 60.754(a) of the MSW Landfills New Source Performance Standards in 40 CFR Part 60, WWW.

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.
