   NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002. On September 6, 2005, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued the permit to Hemingway Development Limited Partnership for the discharge of stormwater from construction activities at its proposed project site in Moosic Borough, Lackawanna County. A public hearing on the original permit application was held on August 11, 2005. Subsequent to the public hearing and prior to permit issuance, the applicant revised its permit application so that the project discharges stormwater to Stafford Meadow Brook and Spring Brook, rather than only Stafford Meadow Brook as originally noticed. On September 21, 2005, PRIZM Asset Management Company (PRIZM), Preit Services, LCC (PREIT) and Diann Van Louvender filed an appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) challenging the Department's issuance of NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002. On September 27, 2005, PRIZM, PREIT and Van Louvender filed a Petition for Supersedeas asking the EHB to supersede NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002 until such time as the underlying appeal is finally decided. On October 24, 2005, after hearing, the EHB issued an Opinion and Order stating that the Petition for Supersedeas is granted in part and denied in part.

   In accordance with the EHB's October 24, 2005, Order, the Department hereby renotices the following permit for public comment. The Department shall consider any comments submitted during the 30-day public comment period in deciding whether it wishes to suspend or revoke the permit, to require Hemingway to provide additional information or to take no action with respect to the permit.

   The permit remains in effect during the time that the Department renotices the permit, accepts comments and considers them.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995

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--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 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 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 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 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, 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, 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 date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

NEW 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.

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

   Persons wishing to receive a copy of a proposed plan approval or operating permit must indicate their interest to the Department regional office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a proposed plan approval or operating permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department 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 the date of the hearing.

   Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the regional office identified before the application. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The permittee will be required to keep records for the date, time and duration that the Wet ESPs are operated with one field down. These records will also be reported to the Department in the semi-annual compliance certification with the reason and how the problem was corrected. The plan approval also includes a limit of 24 hours of operation of the abort stack for startup, shutdown, or malfunction and recordkeeping and reporting for any instances of usage of the abort stack. The permittee will also be required to comply with all other conditions from the previous plan approval (42-158I).
