    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 or 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, 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 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

    NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

       The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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.

       DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

       Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office 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 DEP 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 DEP 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 DEP 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 DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

       Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

       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.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

    NOTICE OF PROMPT INTERIM RESPONSE

    ADSCO Site, Tyrone Township, Adams County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has initiated a prompt interim response at the ADSCO site. This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)). The site is located at  Tyrone Township, Adams County, PA.

       The ADSCO Site (Site) is located along Cranberry Road approximately 1.5 miles east of the town of Aspers. The area surrounding the Site consists mostly of agricultural lands. There is limited residential development in the vicinity of the Site. The Site, an inactive landfill since 1990, is a 108-acre property on which approximately 25 acres are land filled.

       The operators did not properly close the landfill. However, a carbon filtration point-of-entry treatment system was provided for the onsite resident's water supply, a spring, which had been contaminated with volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) above regulatory standards. During site assessment activities, the Department detected the VOC Vinyl Chloride, which had not been previously detected in the water supply. Vinyl Chloride, a Class A Human Carcinogen, is not removed by carbon filtration. Bottled water for drinking purposes was supplied as an emergency measure.

       The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based on the continued release of VOCs to the groundwater and the actual human exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact.

       The Department considered three alternatives:  1. Continued carbon treatment of the spring supply and provision of bottled water for drinking purposes. Although this alternative removes the ingestion threat posed by the VOCs present, it does not remove the inhalation threat posed by Vinyl Chloride. 2. Addition of an air-stripping unit to the existing carbon filtration treatment system. This alternative removes the inhalation threat associated with Vinyl Chloride. However, there are engineering problems involved with collecting and treating the water from the spring, a surface water source, especially in treating for the bacterial contamination threat often associated with surface water supplies. 3. Replacement of the surface water source with a ground water well and provision of a treatment system utilizing both air stripping and carbon filtration. This alternative removes the inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact threats posed by the VOC contamination. This alternative also avoids the engineering difficulties associated with collecting and treating the spring water and greatly reduces the threat from bacterial contamination posed by the use of a surface water source. This alternative will be protective of human health and the environment.

       The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record 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 Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Jeff Silar at (717) 705-4842. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Adams County Public Library located at 140 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA 17325 during normal operating hours by contacting the library at (717) 334-5716.

       The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before February 9, 2002, by mailing them to Jeff Silar at Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.

       The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for December 11, 2001, at 7 p.m. at the Tyrone Township Building located at 5280 Old Harrisburg Road, York Springs, PA 17372. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., December 7, 2001, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

       If no person registers to present oral comments by December 7, 2001, the hearing will not be held, but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the previous number. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.

       Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Sandra Roderick at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

The Hazardous Waste Storage Facility consists of the utilized site access roads, utilized weight scales, site laboratory, the new Truck Staging Area, a Truck Unloading Area and the Hazardous Waste Storage Tank System, including all ancillary systems and the connection to the site cement kilns. This permit regulates the incoming approved wastes from the moment of arrival onsite until beneficial use as fuel in the site cement kilns. The draft permit also addresses Keystone Cement's request to modify their existing permit to account for new hazardous Waste Codes K169 and K170, an expansion of the Truck Unloading Area, a new Truck Staging Area and other changes. Various permit conditions have also been updated.

       A public hearing is scheduled for December 13, 2001, at 7 p.m. The hearing will be held at the Northampton County Community College, 3835 Green Pond Road, Bethlehem, PA. The public hearing will be held on the draft permit for Hazardous Waste Storage.
