Prompt Interim Response
Laing Landfill Site
Cranberry Township, Venango CountyThis Notice of Prompt Interim Response is being issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to provide a description of the prompt interim response for the Laing Landfill Site (site) in Cranberry Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, under section 506 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.506).
1. Site Location and Description
The site is located approximately 1,000 feet southwest of Victory Church Road and approximately 4,000 feet south of the intersection of Route 322 and Victory Church Road in Cranberry Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. The site may be located on the United States Geological Survey Kennerdell 7.5 minute topographic map at 41° 21' 20" north latitude and 79° 46' 03" west longitude.
The site covers approximately 23 acres and includes a landfill formerly operated by A. C. Laing and Michael Laing, d/b/a Laing Demolition Contractors. The landfill covers approximately 4 acres within the site.
Also within the site are four areas with abandoned drums, an open-ended storage shed, an above ground petroleum storage tank, an abandoned trailer, an abandoned one-story house/office, and small areas containing municipal and demolition wastes. Surface water drains off the landfill into the Allegheny River approximately 4,000 feet southwest of the site.
The site property was purchased by Alex Campbell (A. C.) Laing and Patricia L. Laing in 1975. From April 14, 1975 to April 16, 1987, A. C. Laing, and his son, Michael Laing, doing business as ''Laing Demolition Contractors,'' operated the landfill at the site under Department Solid Waste Permit No. 101000. On April 16, 1987, the Department issued an Order that suspended Solid Waste Permit #101000.
On May 18, 1987, a Department inspection of the landfill showed that 20 to 25 drums were located near the open-ended storage shed, and a total of 40 or more drums were located throughout the site. The Department requested that A. C. Laing identify the contents of the drums, in writing, to the Department, and provide a cleanup plan for the contaminated soil in the drum area near the entrance gate. A. C. Laing did not comply with the request.
After the Department's adoption on April 9, 1988, of new regulations pertaining to construction/demolition waste landfills, the Department sent numerous Notices of Violation to Laing Demolition Contractors to properly close the landfill. The landfill was never properly closed. A. C. Laing died on February 27, 1988, without a will, Patricia L. Laing died earlier. The site property is currently owned by the estate of A. C. Laing. On February 1, 1996, the Department filed a court order in the Venango County, Pennsylvania Recorder of Deeds Office noting the presence of hazardous substances at the site.
2. Release and Threat of Release of Hazardous Substances
On August 26, 1992, Tetra Tech, Inc. conducted a Screening Site Inspection (SSI) of the site for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Photographs in the SSI document show drums present at the site. The SSI document also noted that the site was heavily vegetated. Tetra Tech, Inc. sampled soil, surface water, sediment and home wells, but did not sample the drums.
The analysis of the soil samples from an area of puddled product near drums at the entrance gate, showed that the soil was contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), toluene, xylenes, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides. Another soil sample from the drum area near the open-ended storage shed showed that the soil was contaminated with benzo(a)pyrene, pesticides, PAHs and zinc. The chemicals listed above are ''hazardous substances'' as defined under section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103).
On October 20, 1995, Department inspectors observed trespassers using the site for hunting. Direct contact with drum contents and contaminated soil is the greatest threat to trespassers. Also, the drums and containers present at the site are unsecured and improperly stored, and have the potential for a further release into the environment if vandalized.
On July 1, 1996, the Department analyzed the contents of the drums at the site and installed monitoring wells at the site. The drums contained hazardous wastes based on the ignitability of the contents and the leachable lead in the drum contents.
3. Alternative Responses Considered
The two main objectives of the prompt interim response action proposed for the site are: 1) to protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances, and 2) to eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from containerized waste and contaminated soil at the site.
The Department considered four alternatives to the prompt interim response action at the site to meet those objectives:
1) No Action
2) Fence
3) Drum Removal
4) Drum and Soil Removal
In light of the objectives stated above, the Department evaluated each alternative to determine: the extent to which each alternative protects the public and the environment; the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the Solid Waste Management Act, the Clean Streams Law and other Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs); the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and the relative cost effectiveness of each alternative.
Alternative 1. No Action
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. No costs would be incurred under this response.
Alternative 2. Fence
This alternative would involve the installation of a fence around the drum areas to restrict access to containerized waste and contaminated soil at the site. The capital, operation and maintenance, and total present worth costs of this alternative would be $49,674, $77,720 and $127,394, respectively.
Alternative 3. Drum Removal
This alternative would involve all the components of Alternative 2, above, and the testing, and if necessary, removal and offsite disposal of all containers with hazardous substances. Following waste removal, any empty containers will be crushed and consolidated for offsite disposal or recycle/reuse. The capital, operation and maintenance, and total present worth costs of this alternative are $284,456, $77,720 and $362,176, respectively.
Alternative 4. Drum and Soil Removal
With the exception of the fence, this alternative would involve all of the components of Alternative 3, above, plus the testing, and if necessary, the removal and offsite disposal of contaminated soil from the drum areas. Because the site is located in a residential area, soil contaminated with hazardous substances above the Department's Statewide Health Standards for Soils (residential) would be removed. The capital, operation and maintenance, and total present worth costs of this alternative are $294,105, $0 and $294,105, respectively.
4. Comparison of Alternatives
The Department believes that prompt action is necessary to protect the public health, safety and the environment from the risks associated with the containerized wastes abandoned at the site, the hazardous substances in site soil, and any hazardous substances that may have been disposed at the landfill. As noted in the facts, the notice of hazardous substances is already in the deed records. Action should not be delayed for the length of time that it would take to formally develop and close an administrative record for the action. The Department estimates that prompt action will cost less than $2 million and take less than 1 year to complete. Accordingly, the Department proposes to conduct a prompt interim response action at the site under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)).
Alternative 1 would be the least costly response alternative, but would provide no increased protection for the public and the environment. Alternative 2 would be less costly than Alternatives 3 or 4. Alternative 2 would reduce risks to the public by preventing direct contact with containerized waste and contaminated soil. However, Alternative 2 would not protect the environment and would not be cost effective over the long-term because the release and threat of release of hazardous substances would still exist at the site, those releases may exacerbate the problems associated with site contamination, and those releases may have to be addressed in the future.
Alternative 4 would be less costly than Alternative 3 because Alternative 3 includes the cost for a fence and fence replacement after 15 years. Although it is the most costly alternative, Alternative 3 would provide less protection to the public and the environment than Alternative 4, because Alternative 3 would allow more hazardous substances to remain onsite (for example, in contaminated area soils).
Alternative 4 would be the most cost-effective alternative over both the short and long-term, because it would protect the public and the environment from direct contact with hazardous substances in the containers and contaminated soil at the site, and because it would eliminate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from the containers of waste and contaminated soil.
5. Proposed Remedy
Under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)), the Department proposes to implement Alternative 4 as the prompt interim response at the site. Alternative 4 is proposed because it would, in the most cost effective manner, protect the public and the environment from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances and eliminate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from the containers of wastes and contaminated soil.
Although Alternative 4 offers some protection to the public and the environment, it would not be a final remedial response under section 504 of HSCA. Therefore, Alternative 4 is not required to meet the ARARs that apply to final remedial responses. Nonetheless, Alternative 4 is consistent with any future remedial actions that would be expected to be undertaken based on site conditions. Alternative 4 addresses the identified ongoing threats to the public and the environment that require attention prior to the start of any potential future remedial action.
In addition to the prompt interim response action, the Department has installed monitoring wells and will be sampling groundwater to determine if hazardous substances are being released from the landfill to groundwater and surface water. Additional response action may be needed to achieve a complete, permanent and final cleanup for the site. The proposed prompt interim response protects the public health and environment; complies with or otherwise meets all ARARs relating to containerized waste and contaminated soil removal and disposal, but not ARARs relating to landfill closure; is feasible, implementable, permanent and effective to the maximum extent practicable; and is cost effective.
6. Public Access to The Administrative Record
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information regarding the site, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
East Union Township
Schuylkill 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 East Union Township PCB Contamination Site (Site). The site, which consisted of soil which was contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) oil as the result of an illegal transformer salvage operation, is located in East Union Township, Schuylkill County.
On August 2, 1996 Department personnel inspected the Site and obtained soil and surface water samples for PCB analysis. Analysis confirmed the presence of PCBs in site soil and surface water.
After determining that Site conditions constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response.
