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 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, 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Interim Response
Rittenhouse Road Site, Lower Providence Township, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is proposing an interim response at Rittenhouse Road Site (Site), Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County.
The Department, under the authority of the HSCA, has conducted further investigation at the Site. These investigations have included extensive monitoring of several private drinking water supply wells. Four private wells were known to be contaminated and the Department has identifies two additional residential wells that have elevated concentrations of trichloroethene and its associ-ated breakdown products. The Department has not identified a source for this groundwater contamination.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an interim response action at the Site under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Department is proposing the installation of lateral connections to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with ARARs and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action or continued monitoring and maintenance of the carbon filtration units that are already in place.
An Administrative Record which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed interim response action is available for public inspection from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Sharon Mills at (610) 832-6199 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Lower Providence Township Municipal Building, 100 Parklane Drive, Eagleville, PA 19403.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of the HSCA for Tuesday, December 3, 2002, at 7 p.m. in the Lower Providence Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by contacting Lynda Rebarchak, Community Relations Coordinator, (610) 832-6219.

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Allister Company Site, West Whiteland Township, Chester CountyThe Department, under the authority of the HSCA, proposes to enter into a De Minimis Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with three corporate entities relating to the Allister Company HSCA Site (Site), West Whiteland Township, Chester County.
The Site, currently leased by Matrix Productions, Inc., was used from approximately 1955 to 1993 as a garage door manufacturing operation. As part of these operations, hazardous wastes, including trichloroethylene, were disposed on the Site resulting in limited soils contamination.
Three corporate entities, Matrix Productions, Inc., PBJK, LP and AJD, LLC, intend to purchase property making up the Site from the current owner, Scotell Corporation, and use the property for the production of graphic designs and displays. The COA requires a payment from the three entities towards the Department's response costs at the Site in exchange for a Covenant Not to Sue and Contribution Protection from the Department.
Under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), the Department is publishing notice of this proposed COA and will provide a 60-day period for public comment on the COA commencing with the date of this publication. Copies of the COA may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Anderson Hartzell at (610) 832-6300 or George Danyliw at (610) 832-6000.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the COA if comments submitted during the public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the COA is inappropriate or not in the public interest.
Prompt Interim Response
Lewis Run Municipal Well Site, Lewis Run Borough, McKean CountyThe Department, under the authority of the HSCA, is conducting a prompt interim response at the Lewis Run Municipal Well Site (Site), Lewis Run Borough, McKean County, roughly the area between the East Branch of Tunungwant Creek and Big Shanty Road. The Site contains several light industrial-manufacturing facilities, separated by lightly wooded areas. The site also contains a well used as a supplemental public water supply (Well No. 3) by the Borough of Lewis Run, McKean County, impacted by Site-related constituents. The Borough owns two other supplemental water supply wells (Wells No. 1 and No. 2) not located within the Site, which are subject to high iron and manganese concentrations.
VOCs, primarily tetrachloroethene, trichloroethene and 1,2-dichloroethene, have been detected in groundwater at the Site, including in samples from Well No. 3. The exact sources and extent of the VOC contamination is not yet known.
The Department's objective for this response is to replace the supplemental public water supply, contaminated by Site-related hazardous substances. For this prompt interim response, the Department considered five alternatives for the Site: Alternative 1, no action and ongoing monitoring; Alternative 2, treatment of the VOC contamination of Well No. 3; Alternative 3, treatment of iron and manganese of Wells No. 1 and No. 2; Alternative 4, interconnection with the Bradford City Water Authority System; and Alternative 5, installation of a new municipal supply well.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative.
Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.
Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 5 as the prompt interim response for the Site. This alternative was selected because it would, in the most cost-effective manner, protect the public from possible human health risks associated with ingestion of Site-related hazardous substances, while meeting the response objective of replacement of the contaminated municipal water supply well with a reliable, potable back-up public water supply source.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment 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. to 4 p.m. Contact the Northwest Regional Office for an appointment at (814) 332-6648. A duplicate administrative record will be maintained at the Lewis Run Borough Building, 60 Main Street, Lewis Run, PA 16738.
The administrative record will be open for comment from November 2, 2002, until January 31, 2003. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them or delivering them to Kammy Halterman, Project Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing to be held at the Lewis Run Borough Building at 7 p.m. on December 10, 2002. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing must register with Kammy Halterman before December 2, 2002.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Kammy Halterman at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
