[30 Pa.B. 4941]
[Continued from previous Web Page] PA 0228303. Bear Hollow Subdivision Homeowners Association, 165 Waltimyer Road, Turbotville, PA 17772, SIC 4952, Delaware Township, Northumberland County.
This proposed action is for issuance of an NPDES permit for a new discharge of treated sewage to unnamed tributary of Delaware Run in Delaware Township, Northumberland County.
The receiving stream is classified for the following uses: cold water fishery and aquatic life, water supply and recreation.
For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride and phenolics, the existing downstream potable water supply (PWS) considered during the evaluation is PA American Water Company located at Milton.
The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001, based on a design flow of 0.0016 mgd, are:
Average Instantaneous Parameter Monthly (mg/l) Maximum (mg/l) CBOD5 10 20 TSS 20 40 Total Chlorine Residual 2 4.6 Fecal Coliform (5-1 to 9-30) 200/100 ml as a geometric average (10-1 to 4-30) 200/100 ml as a geometric average pH 6.0--9.0 at all times Other Conditions: none
The EPA waiver is in effect.
Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for Stephen Foster Lake The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Stephen Foster Lake was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 section 303(d) list because of impairments of designated uses due to sedimentation (Total Suspended Solids--TSS) and excess nutrients (Phosphorus) loads to the lake.
The Department currently does not have water quality criteria for nutrients or sediment. Therefore, the Department established a water quality objective for nutrients and sediment. The water quality objective for phosphorus was established using the Trophic Status Index (TSI) rating system established by Carlson. The water quality objectives for TSS were set based on the original lake design sediment storage capacity. These water quality objectives were set with the expectation that they could be reasonably achieved.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for both TSS and phosphorus for each land use category identified. The basis of information used in establishment of this TMDL is the Phase One Clean Lakes Study completed by Coastal Environmental in 1996.
The following table shows the current loading to the lake and the necessary reductions to meet the TMDL. The loads are expressed in pounds per year.
Existing Load TMDL Load % Reduction Parameter (lb/yr) (lb/yr) to meet TMDL Total Phosphorus 2,714 1,372 49 Total Suspended Solids 1,427,420 686,104 52 The data and all supporting data used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact: Daniel L. Alters, Water Programs Manager, Water Management Program, Northcentral Regional Office, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 208 West Third Street--Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, phone: (570) 327-0530, e-mail: Alters.Daniel@dep.state.pa.us.
This proposed TMDL can be viewed and printed from this website: www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/WC/Subjects/WQStandards/TMDL/TMDLs.htm.
Please note that at the current time attachments and appendices must be requested through paper mail.
Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by November 22, 2000.
Additionally, the Department will accommodate small group meetings of interested parties to discuss this TMDL. A meeting can be arranged by contacting Jeff Gocek, Sanitary Engineer II (Northcentral Regional Office) at (570) 327-3665.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval.

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 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 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 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 Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified as 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's Regional Office under which the notice appears.

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 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.
