   Sections 302 and 303 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 to Remediate identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   Sections 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 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in a Special Industrial Area must 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 contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site.

For the sites identified, a municipality 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. During this comment period a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan.

AIR QUALITY

Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

   The Department of Environmental Protection (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 public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.

   Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

SPECIAL NOTICES

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
Department of Environmental Protection
v.
Borough of Kennett Square

   The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has filed a Complaint in Equity in Commonwealth Court against the Borough of Kennett Square (Borough). The Complaint alleges that the Borough has violated various provisions of The Clean Streams Law and its implementing regulations. The Department and the Borough have agreed to a settlement of the Department's claims and the terms of that settlement have been incorporated into a proposed Consent Decree. The Department has requested that the Court lodge the proposed Consent Decree, but take no further action on it until an opportunity has been afforded to the public for comment on the terms of the proposed settlement.

   The Consent Decree contains the following terms and conditions:

   The Borough owns and operates a sewage treatment plant (Plant) located on West South Street in Kennett Township, Chester County, which discharges treated sewage to the West Branch Red Clay Creek, a water of the Commonwealth. On September 20, 1990, the Department issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PA0024058 (NPDES Permit) to the Borough which authorized the discharge of treated effluent to the West Branch Red Clay Creek and set effluent limits and monitoring requirements for the discharge. This NPDES Permit was amended by the Department on September 28, 1992, and again on September 13, 1993.

   The Department has determined from reports of inspections of the Plant, conducted by Department personnel, and from examination of the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted by the Borough, that the Plant has been unable to consistently comply with the effluent limits of the NPDES Permit and that the discharge from the Plant has caused pollution of the West Branch Red Clay Creek. The Department has therefore determined that the Borough must adopt remedial measures to prevent the discharge of inadequately treated sewage to the West Branch Red Clay Creek.

   The Borough has implemented, and continues to implement, a number of interim measures to improve the quality of the effluent. The Consent Decree sets forth those additional remedial measures which the Department and the Borough agree are necessary to ensure that the Plant achieves and maintains compliance.

   The Consent Decree requires the Borough to construct upgraded sewage treatment facilities to enable the Plant to achieve and maintain compliance with the NPDES Permit effluent limits and sets forth a schedule for completion of the work and attainment of final compliance. The Consent Decree requires that the Borough pay a civil penalty of $79,025 for past violations on a schedule stipulated in the Decree. The Consent Decree also obligates the Borough to pay certain stipulated penalties for violations of any term or condition of the Consent Decree or for violations of the NPDES Permit limits.

   Copies of the Consent Decree are in the hands of Martha E. Blasberg, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Chief Counsel--Southeast Region, Lee Park--555 E. North Lane--Suite 6015, Conshohocken, PA 19428-2233, (610) 832-6313, Counsel for the Department; and Steven T. Miano, Manko Gold & Katcher, Suite 500, 401 City Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA, (610) 660-5700, Counsel for the Borough of Kennett Square; and at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, and may be reviewed by an interested party on request during normal business hours.

   The Department is seeking comments from the public concerning the proposed Consent Decree for a period of 30 days. Thereafter, the Department may request the Commonwealth Court to enter the Consent Decree as a final settlement between the Department and the Borough of Kennett Square. Comments should be directed to Martha E. Blasberg at the above address.
