HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response
C. G. Wood Site Jamestown Borough, Mercer County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt response at the C. G. Wood Site (site). The site is located at the end of Chestnut Street in the Borough of Jamestown, Mercer County, PA. The site consists of a 29-acre property (property), currently owned by Jamestown Holding Corporation, and the groundwater, surface water and sediments on adjacent properties that are contaminated with hazardous substances that were released from the Property. The site contains a vacant and abandoned 7,800 square foot industrial building (building). Four unlined waste lagoons are located south of the building. The property was first used for industrial activities in 1951, and was operated by a succession of manufacturing entities until 1979. Industrial activities conducted at the site primarily involved the manufacture of children's metal outdoor gym and swing sets. Industrial operations reportedly included plating with zinc (using cyanide solutions), electrostatic spray painting, and metal degreasing. Liquid plating wastes were neutralized and then discharged to a nearby pond (possibly one of the lagoons located on the site).
The Department investigated the site buildings, groundwater, surface water, soils and wastes in 1996 and 1997. The study identified two underground storage tanks (USTs) located south of the building. Both tanks were empty; however, soil samples collected in the area of the USTs contain eight volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including trichloroethene (TCE), toluene, xylenes and ethylbenzene. Arsenic was also detected at high levels. A vat located adjacent to the building was also discovered during the study. Materials within the vat include lead and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Soil samples collected from lagoons 1, 2, 3 and 4 contain inorganic and organic constituents, including PCBs, chromium, cadmium, arsenic, lead, cyanide, cis-1, 2-dichloroethene, TCE, 1,1-dichloroethene, tetrachloroethene (PCE), vinyl chloride and benzene.
The building investigation revealed that the building was dangerously deteriorated. Asbestos was discovered in some piping insulation, roofing materials and some floor tile. Dust and debris samples collected at various locations throughout the building contain lead, arsenic, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and VOCs.
Groundwater at the site contains numerous VOCs, including TCE, 1,1-dichloroethene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, PCE, vinyl chloride and benzene. Contaminated groundwater flows into a small tributary to the Shenango River. That tributary contains VOCs from the site, as well. The lagoons, outside vat, building vats and USTs serve as sources of that groundwater and surface water contamination.
Direct contact by ingestion and dermal absorption of soils and wastes contained in the lagoons, UST area, outside vat area and building dust/debris, and inhalation of asbestos-containing materials within the building are the pathways of exposure considered to be of greatest concern for trespassers. Additionally, the soils and wastes contained in the lagoons, UST area, outside vat and building vats continue to release hazardous substances into the environment by groundwater and surface water.
The main objectives for the prompt interim response at the site are: 1) to protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact and inhalation risks associated with site-related hazardous substances, and 2) to mitigate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from site soils and wastes containing hazardous substances.
The Department considered four alternatives for the prompt interim response at the site:
Alternative 1
A ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline for comparison to other alternatives. Because no action would be implemented, any present or future risks to human health, safety or the environment would remain unchanged.
Alternative 2
This Alternative involves the excavation and offsite disposal of contaminated soils and wastes contained in lagoons 1, 2, 3 and 4. It also includes the excavation and offsite disposal of two USTs and the outside vat, with all associated contaminated soils and wastes. Contaminated building dust and debris, and asbestos-containing materials would remain, however.
Alternative 3
This Alternative includes all the actions in Alternative 2, plus the removal and offsite disposal of contaminated dust and debris, and asbestos-containing materials within the building. However, the further, needed investigation of buried waste vats beneath the building would not be able to be undertaken, because of the remaining, unsafe building structure.
Alternative 4
This Alternative includes all the actions in Alternative 3, plus the demolition of the building.
The Department chose to implement Alternative 4 as the prompt interim response at the C. G. Wood site. Alternative 4 was selected because it would, in the most cost effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact and inhalation risks associated with site-related hazardous substances; reduce the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from contaminated soils and wastes; and allow for the safe investigation of additional contamination source areas beneath the building.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for, and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from October 11, 1997 until January 9, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to the site Project Manager, Anita Stainbrook, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may submit oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department will schedule such a hearing between November 10 and December 10, 1997, if requested by one or more members of the public. Persons wishing to present comments at such a hearing must register with the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Steve Curcio before November 10, 1997 by telephone at (814) 332-6945 or in writing at the Northwest Regional Office. If no person requests to present oral comments, by the date specified above, a hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if a hearing will be held, should contact Steve Curcio at the telephone number noted above.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Steve Curcio at the telephone number noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
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 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 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. 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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's Regional Office under 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 listed.

ABANDONED MINE RECLAMATION
Availability of Draft OSM Title IV Program
Reclamation Plan Amendment No. 2
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, is proposing to amend Pennsylvania's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan, under the provisions of the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, P. L. 95-87, as amended. Amendment No. 2 updates the Reclamation Plan originally approved in 1982, Amendment No. 1 to that Plan approved October 30, 1992, and incorporates the following new Title IV Abandoned Mine Lands initiatives. The purpose of this Plan Amendment is to allow the Commonwealth more flexibility to achieve reclamation of AML lands through contracts with private individuals, construction contractors, coal companies and municipalities. Presently where coal is removed as part of a Government financed reclamation contract, at least 50% of the cost of the project must be from Government sources. The proposed amendment would allow projects to be undertaken without regard to the 50% requirement. In addition, this amendment is to allow the Commonwealth to enter into agreements with coal mine operators to direct the placement of excess spoil off permit to achieve reclamation of adjacent AML lands that otherwise may go unreclaimed.
The draft Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan Amendment No. 2 is available for public review and comment. To be considered, comments must be submitted to and received by the Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Department of Environmental Protection, P. O. Box 8476, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8476 within 30 days of the date of this Bulletin. A copy of the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Plan Amendment may be obtained by contacting the following DEP offices:

SPECIAL NOTICES
Proposed Wellhead Protection Program for Drinking Water Source Protection Under the 1996 Federal Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments As required under section 1428 of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has developed a proposed wellhead protection (WHP) program to protect groundwater sources used by public water systems from contamination that may have an adverse effect on public health. Participation in the program is voluntary and builds upon the basic requirements for water purveyors to obtain the best available source and to take the appropriate actions to protect the source, thereby ensuring a continual and safe water supply. The WHP program will also suffice for the groundwater component of the source water assessment program which is also required to be developed under section 1453 of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
Following the public comment period which closes November 14, 1997, DEP will submit the document, Proposed Pennsylvania Wellhead Protection Program, to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for formal approval.
Discussions on this proposed program will be held during the following meetings:
October 21 10 a.m. Northampton Community College Main Campus, KIVA Hall, 3835 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem, PA October 22 10 a.m. Jennings Environmental Education Center, 2951 Prospect Road, Slippery Rock, PA October 23 10 a.m. Rachel Carson State Office Building, 2nd Floor Auditorium, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA Requests for copies of the document, Proposed Pennsylvania Wellhead Protection Program, and written comments may be directed to Joseph J. Lee, Chief, Source Protection Section, Division of Drinking Water Management, Bureau of Water Supply Management, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8467, (717) 772-4018. The document, Proposed Pennsylvania Wellhead Protection Program, is also available on the DEP website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Information by Subject/Water Management/Bureau of Water Supply Management).
