PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Sections 302, 303, 304 and 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 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 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING
PERMIT APPLICATIONSThe 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. A public hearing may be held, if the Department, 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 the Department determines this type of notification is sufficient. Requests for a public hearing and any relevant information should be directed to the appropriate Department 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office listed before the application. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

EA0209-002. Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Cambria Office, 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931. Gladden Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Treatment Plant in South Fayette Township, Allegheny County, ACOE Pittsburgh District.
In accordance to Restoration Waiver No. 16 under 25 Pa. Code § 105.12(a)(16), Non-Reporting Activity Number 20(a), the applicant, South Fayette Conservation Group, proposes to permanently impact a wetland in order to construct and operate the proposed Gladden AMD Treatment Plant. An existing 0.12 acre wetland drains to Millers Run (WWF), a tributary to Chartiers Creek (WWF); the entire 0.12 acre wetland will be impacted. Permanent impacts to the wetland are being proposed for the purpose of constructing and operating the Gladden AMD Treatment Plant. The plant has maximum treatment capacity of approximately 2.2 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated AMD discharging into Millers Run (WWF), which is a tributary to Chartiers Creek (WWF). The effluent iron concentration range of the treated AMD from the plant will be between 1.0 mg/L to 2.0 mg/L and is not expected to exceed 3.0 mg/L under normal operating conditions. The plant will be located in South Fayette Township at 151 Parks Road, Cuddy, PA. Currently, Millers Run routinely has an iron concentration of 0.2 mg/L. The iron concentration of Millers Run increases up over 19 mg/L due to the negative impacts of the Gladden AMD discharge. Non-Reporting Activity Number 20(a) Restoration Waiver No. 16 is applicable to AMD that exceeds 7.0 mg/L. Once the plant is operating at an average design capacity of 1.1 MGD of treated AMD, the historic heavily polluting Gladden AMD discharge will be eliminated. Therefore, the 0.12 acre of permanent wetland impact will support the elimination of the Gladden Discharge and rehabilitation of approximately four miles of Millers Run (WWF) and three miles of Chartiers Creek (WWF). In all, a total of seven miles of warm water fishery streams that are currently impaired by AMD will be restored with the cumulative 0.12 acre of permanent wetland impact. Additionally, the outfall discharge of the Gladden AMD Treatment Plant that would routinely be permitted as a single General Permit No. 4 (GP-4) is also included within the EA 0209-002 permit application.
