    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 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)(l)(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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

    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 receive a copy of the 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. Any comments or protests filed with 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

    Merck & Co., Inc.

    Riverside Borough, Northumberland County

       Merck & Co., Inc. (P. O. Box 600, Danville, PA 17821-0600) has submitted an application (49-313-032H) to the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under section 127.11 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Department's Rules and Regulations for approval to install several air cleaning devices for the control of air contaminant emissions from several existing sources (pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment) at its Cherokee facility in Riverside Borough, Northumberland County.

       Merck & Co., Inc., is a major facility for which a Title V Operating Permit application (49-00007) has been submitted but for which no Title V Operating Permit has yet been issued.

       Information provided by Merck indicates that the air cleaning devices will potentially emit up to 10.9 tons of carbon monoxide per 12 consecutive month period, 1.0 tons of volatile organic compounds per 12 consecutive month period, some of which will also constitute hazardous air pollutants, 8.8 tons of sulfur oxides per 12 consecutive month period, 17.0 tons of nitrogen oxides per 12 consecutive month period, 6.4 tons of particulate matter per 12 consecutive month period, and 6.4 tons of particulate matter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10) per 12 consecutive month period. A preliminary review of this information by the Department indicates that the air cleaning devices will allow the existing sources to continue to comply with all applicable air quality requirements including the best available technology requirements of 127.1 and 127.12 of Chapter 127 of Article III of the Rules and Regulations of the Department. Based on this finding, the Department proposes to approve the application and issue plan approval for the installation of the proposed air cleaning devices. If this plan approval is issued and if the proposed air cleaning devices and existing sources are subsequently found to be in compliance with all conditions of the plan approval as well as all applicable regulatory requirements, the plan approval will be incorporated into an operating permit via administrative amendment in accordance with Section 127.450 of Chapter 127 of Article III.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

    Chester County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a settlement relating to the cleanup of the National Precision Casting HSCA Site located at 175 Ravine Road, East Whiteland Township, Chester County, PA (Site). The settlement involves a Consent Order and Agreement between the Department and Ravine Road, L.P. and J. V. D'Ascenzo Construction Company (Settlor), who are potentially responsible parties as current owners of the Site. Settlor did not cause or contribute to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site.

       The Site is a former foundry that was used for casting ferrous and nonferrous molds. Beginning in 1994, the Department conducted an investigation of the Site which revealed contamination of soils at the Site with substances including beryllium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, zinc, antimony, magnesium, and manganese. In addition, installation and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells at the Site revealed contamination of groundwater with trichloroethylene (TCE). Beginning in November of 1995 through March, 1996, the Department implemented a prompt interim response at the Site. The interim response was carried out at the Site in a manner not inconsistent with the National Contingency Plan (NCP), 40 CFR Part 300, requirements for CERCLA removal actions. As of the date of the Consent Order and Agreement, groundwater contamination remains at the Site at levels above the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for TCE in residential wells. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Order and Agreement, Settlor will make an immediate payment of $9,000 for response costs incurred or to be incurred by the Department in connection with the Site.

       This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed Consent Order and Agreement from the date of publication of this Notice. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting David Minsker at (610) 832-6193 or Paul Rettinger at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours. Persons may submit written comments to David Minsker at the above address. The Department will provide a response to all significant written comments received during the public comment period, and the proposed Consent Order and Agreement authorizes the Department to withhold or withdraw its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on comments received during the public comment period, that the Consent Order and Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.

    Notice of Interim Response

    Milford Township, Bucks County

    Mount Milford Site

       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 interim response at the Mount Milford Site in Milford Township, Bucks County, PA. This response has been undertaken under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA.

       The Mount Milford Site is located at 1940 Upper Ridge Road, Milford Township, Bucks County. The Site consists of an abandoned home and a construction-type trailer located behind the home. The trailer was found to contain about 160 five-gallon pails that were labeled ''hazardous'' and ''flammable'' during an inspection of a complaint by the Department's Waste Management Program. The site was subsequently referred to the HSCA program. The HSCA Program with the assistance of the Emergency Response Team, conducted an entry in the trailer in order to obtain samples from the pails. UVIR and Flashpoint sampling analyses were performed on the samples collected during this entry.

       The results of the Flashpoint analysis by the Department's Bureau of Labs determined that the contents of the buckets are considered to be hazardous wastes (Ignitibility) as defined by 25 PA Code § 261.21. The trailer in which the pails were located became contaminated by waste leakages from the containers. The total volume for the 160 pails is estimated at 800 gallons.

       The Department considered two alternatives:  1)  No action, which would allow the pails to remain at their present location, and 2)  The removal and proper disposal of the pails. The Department determined that the no action alternative would not be protective of public health or safety or the environment. Deterioration of the pails and the trailer which would have resulted in the release of the pails' contents posed an ignition hazard and would have resulted in soil contamination, potential groundwater contamination and a direct contact threat to persons exposed to the drums' contents.

       The Department bulked and secured the pails during September 11--21, 2000. This action was taken prior to the development of the Administrative Record to be protective of human health and safety and the environment.

       The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA, and the publication of this notice starts the Administrative Record public comment period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeastern Regional Office located at Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Robert Zang at (610) 832-6152 for an appointment.
