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 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.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS 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. 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.

41-00021A: Buckeye Energy Services, LLC, 6161 Hamilton Boulevard, Allentown, PA 18106, for the installation of a John Zink Company model ZCT-2-6-35-2-2/6 vapor combustion unit (VCU) to control the air contaminant emissions from an existing gasoline and distillate truck loading operation at their Williamsport Terminal located in Armstrong Township, Lycoming County. A new John Zink VCU will replace an existing vapor recovery unit while an existing portable VCU will remain in place as a backup emission control system. The facility currently operates with existing annual synthetic minor gasoline (91,100,000 gallons) and distillate (315,360,000 gallons) throughput restrictions. Buckeye Energy Services LLC proposes to keep the same throughput restrictions with the proposed installation of the VCU. The potential annual emission at the facility slightly increased as a result of combustion in VCU and will not exceed the following limits: VOCs/HAPs—3.79 tons; PM10—0.21 ton; CO—4.78 tons; NOx—3.73 tons; and SO2—0.09 ton. CO2e—3,199.25. The Department's review of the information contained in the application submitted by Buckeye Energy Services, LLC indicates that the sources and the air-cleaning devices will comply with all applicable air quality requirements pertaining to air contamination sources and the emission of air contaminants, including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12, the fugitive air contaminant emission requirement of 25 Pa. Code § 123.1, the visible emission limitation of 25 Pa. Code § 123.41, the gasoline terminal operation requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 129.59 and 40 CFR 63 Subpart BBBBBB requirements related to national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for source category: gasoline distribution bulk terminals, bulk plants, and pipeline facilities. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval for the proposed installation. The following is a brief description of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in the plan approval in order to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:
1) The volatile organic compound (VOC) emission from the John Zink vapor combustion unit (ID C101) associated with Source ID P101 shall not exceed 80 milligrams per liter (0.0668 pound for every 100 gallons of gasoline) of gasoline loaded, at any time.
2) Within 180 days of installation/operation of the VCU, the permittee shall conduct a performance stack test at the exhaust of the VCU to verify compliance with the VOC emissions limit of 80 mg/l. The stack test shall be conducted in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 139.
3) The gasoline and distillate loading operation shall not be operated without the simultaneous operation of either VCU or PVCU at any time. The PVCU shall only be used for maintenance and upset conditions on the VCU or other emergency use conditions.
4) The permittee shall comply with all applicable monitoring requirements specified in 40 CFR Section 63.11092 for VCU.
5) The VCU shall be installed, operated and maintained per the manufacturer's specification and recommendation.
6) The VCU shall comply with all the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart BBBBBB—National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Distribution Bulk Terminals, Sections 63.11080—63.11100.
7) The permittee shall continue to comply with all the terms and conditions of the State Only Operating Permit SMOP 41-00021.
The facility is a State Only facility. If the Department determines that the VCU is installed and operated in compliance with the plan approval conditions and the specification of the application for Plan Approval 41-00021A, the requirements established in the plan approval will be incorporated into a State Only Operating Permit via an administrative amendment in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.450 at a later date. All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701. Appointments for scheduling a review must be made by calling 570-327-3636.

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 must always be greater than 6.0; less than 9.0. Alkalinity must always be greater than acidity. 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 § 77.522 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.
Additional criteria
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 of 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.
Submittal of comments
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 notice within 30-days of this 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 phone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
Requests or petitions for a public hearing on any NPDES permit applications will be accepted 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, phone number and the interest of the party filing the request and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. The Department may hold a public hearing if the public interest is significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. The Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
