The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should contact a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Superior Tube Co., Collegeville,
Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (''HSCA''), 35 P. S. § 6020.1113, has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Superior Tube Co. and Superior Tube Co., Inc. (''Superior Tubes''), sister corporations with plant operations located in a portion of the Lower Providence DCE HSCA Site in Montgomery County, PA (''the site''). This site consists of commercial and residential properties impacted by groundwater contamination.
The contaminants of concern impacting the site include: 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE), trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1,2-dichloroethene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, tetrachloroethene (PCE), chloromethane, chloroform, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), trichlorofluoromethane, xylene and toluene. Superior is responsible for a portion of the TCE released and threatened to be release on certain properties within the site area. Superior presently operates a groundwater pump and treat system to address certain contamination released from its plant. The Department shall install a public waterline to deliver potable water to affected residents and businesses within the site area.
In a Consent Order and Agreement, Superior and the Department agreed that Superior would reimburse the Department for response costs incurred and to be incurred by the Department for the public waterline project. Additionally, Superior agreed to remediate a portion of the site where TCE has been released and Superior agreed to attain an Act 2 (Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, 35 P. S. § 6026.101 et seq.) standard on this portion of the site. Superior's Notice of Intent to Remediate, its Remedial Investigation Report and its Cleanup Plan filed pursuant to Act 2, are retained in the Department's Regional Office Files.
This notice is provided under Section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.1113, which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments''. The Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the agreement is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located at 2 East Main Street in Norristown, PA by contacting either Timothy Cherry or Gina M. Thomas, Esquire at (484) 250-5930. Mr. Cherry and Ms. Thomas may also be contacted electronically at tcherrypa.gov and githomaspa.gov, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Mr. Cherry at the above address.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
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 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed
for the Limestone Run Watershed in Northumberland CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Limestone Run Watershed in Northumberland County. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Limestone Run Watershed. The sediment loading was allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

(lbs./yr.)TMDL
(lbs./day)PERCENT REDUCTION Sediment 3,352,600 9,185 2,632,702 7,213 21.5% The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDLs and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the proposed TMDLs contact:
Sean Kilmartin, Civil Engineer Hydraulic
Watershed Protection Division, Central Office
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
Rachel Carson State Office Building
Harrisburg, PA 17105
Phone: 717-772-3922, e-mail: sekilmarti@pa.govThe Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 45 days after publication in the PA Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
