The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.
The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding these applications and proposed permit actions. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on the Department's file.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response
Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Covington Township
Lackawanna CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) initiated a prompt interim response (response) at the Windship Road Drum Site (Site). The Site is located along a private roadway off of Windship Road near Route 307, in Covington Township, Lackawanna County.
On February 26, 1996, the Department personnel inspected the site subsequent to a citizen's report that several drums of unknown material were discovered as a result of some excavation activities performed during the cleanout of a drainage culvert. During the inspection, six drums, exposed or partially exposed, were noted. A subsequent investigation by the Department, using metal detection instrumentation, indicated the probable presence of additional buried drums. The Site is located directly adjacent to a commercial property as well as several residences. A small stream runs along the eastern edge of the site into a wetland approximately 200 feet south of the site.
After determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response at the Site on February 28, 1996. The prompt action interim response chosen by the Department (Prompt Action Interim Response #1) consisted of excavation of drums, repackaging, chemical analysis, temporary storage and final disposal at an approved facility. A total of 56 drums, as well as one small container, were unearthed and subsequently disposed of. This action by the Department eliminated the substantial threat to public health and the environment posed by the material in the drums. The Department made the public aware of Prompt Action Interim Response #1 by issuing a public notice which appeared in the March 23, 1996 editions of the Pennsylvania Bulletin and the Scranton Times newspaper.
On November 20, 1996, metal detector and ground penetrating radar surveys were conducted at the Site. The surveys resulted in the delineation of additional areas of suspected drum burial. On April 27, 1997 the Department completed an investigation which resulted in the unearthing of 19 drums at the Site. The material in the drums was determined to be a hazardous waste and contained the hazardous substance trichloroethylene (TCE) and lead. On July 17, 1997, after determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department undertook a Prompt Action Interim Response (Prompt Action Interim Response #2) at the Site. The Prompt Action Interim Response involved the disposal, at an approved hazardous waste disposal facility, of the drums which were unearthed during the April 27, 1997 investigation. This action by the Department eliminated the substantial threat to public health and the environment posed by the material in the drums. The Department made the public aware of Prompt Action Interim Response #2 by issuing a public notice which appeared in the August 16, 1997 editions of the Pennsylvania Bulletin and the Scranton Times newspaper.
Subsequent to the unearthing of drums containing hazardous waste at the Site, 12 home wells were sampled and analyzed for volatile organic compounds. Four of the home wells were contaminated with levels of TCE above the Federal Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). On August 12, 1997, after determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department undertook a Prompt Action Interim Response (Prompt Action Interim Response #3) at the Site. Prompt Action Interim Response #3 involved the installation of point-of-entry carbon filtration systems on those homes whose well water had been contaminated at levels above the MCL for TCE. Point-of-entry carbon filtration systems were placed in a total of four homes. This action by the Department eliminated the substantial threat to public health posed by the TCE in the groundwater. The Department also considered the alternative of supplying bottled water to affected residents. This option was rejected because it would not protect affected individuals from exposure to TCE through inhalation. The Department also considered the alternative of taking no action. This option was rejected due to the substantial threat posed by TCE in the groundwater to the public and the environment.
The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the Site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Written comments concerning the response of information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before January 23, 1998 to the attention of Leonard Zelinka, Project Officer--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments on Prompt Action Interim Response #3 at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for December 3, 1997 at 7 p.m. at the Covington Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before November 25, 1997 by calling Leonard Zelinka at (717) 826-5441. If no person registers to present oral comments by November 25, 1997, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held or the location of the hearing should contact Leonard Zelinka.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under the HSCA. Questions concerning the Site may be directed to Leonard Zelinka at (717) 826-5441, or Michael Ferrence, Assistant Counsel, at (717) 826-2519.
Persons with a disability and who wish to attend the public hearing referenced above and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Leonard Zelinka directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
