The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

SPECIAL NOTICES
WATER PROGRAMS
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for an Unnamed Tributary (11582) of Buffalo Creek in Perry County.
Central Office: Clean Water Program, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
Contact: Michael Morris, 717-772-5670.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for an unnamed tributary of Buffalo Creek (11582) watershed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for excessive siltation in the watershed.
There currently are no state or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL document sets allowable loading of sediment in the unnamed tributary of Buffalo Creek watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for: nonpoint sources; bulk reserves for point sources not assigned individual wasteload allocations and future point sources; and margin of safety factors. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land and streambank erosion in the watershed. Data used in establishing the TMDLs were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.

Notice of Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and Volatile Organic Compounds, Notice of Public Hearing, and Notice of Intent to issue Revised Air Quality Operating Permit 42-00158.
42-00158: In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.111—129.115, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve an alternate Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT III) plan and seeks approval of an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Georgia-Pacific Panel Products LLC's Mount Jewett MDF Plant, in Sergeant Township, McKean County. And in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection intends to issue a renewal and modification to the Title V Operating Permit for the facility. The facility is located at 149 Temple Dr., Kane, PA 16735. The facility's representative to contact concerning this application is Ms. Kassa Kocjancic, Environmental Manager. Her phone number is 814-788-2622.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amended RACT III approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 1997, 2008, and 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
The proposed amendments to the RACT III determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into the revised operating permit (42-00158) for the facility. The relevant RACT III requirements will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR 51 and approval by the EPA. Requirements that are not part of the RACT III determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal; this includes the provisions of the Department's presumptive RACT III requirements in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.112, as they apply to existing sources at this facility.
The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the RACT III determination for this facility that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:
