Hopewell TownshipUNT to E. Branch Codorus Creek TRC Notice of Intent to Establish Alternate Site-Specific Water Quality Criteria for Copper Under 25 Pa. Code § 16.24(e), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to amend the following permits by incorporating the results of a Water-Effect Ratio (WER) into the calculation of the water quality based effluent limit for copper. The WER is a site-specific determination of an aquatic life criterion, which provides a more appropriate level of protection than the Statewide criteria by taking into account the site-specific biological and/or chemical conditions. The WER is determined by conducting side-by-side toxicity tests on sensitive aquatic species using site or simulated site water and lab dilution water. The site-specific water results are divided by the lab dilution water results to determine the WER. The WER procedure recognizes that the physical and/or chemical characteristics of site water can influence the toxicity of a chemical on resident aquatic life. On June 6, 1997, the POTWs listed as follows submitted a Group WER proposal to modify their NPDES copper limits. Following intensive review of their sampling protocol and study results, the EPA approved the WERs listed as follows.
Alternate site specific criteria for copper will be developed by multiplying the Statewide fish and aquatic life copper criteria contained in Chapter 6, App. A, Table 1 by the WER for each POTW. The site-specific criteria will be used in the recalculation of the NPDES permit limits for copper. These changes will affect the copper limits of only the listed facilities.

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 file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Prompt Interim Response Avtex Mercury Adjunct Sites Hayfield, Richmond, Spring, Union, Venango, Vernon, Woodcock Townships, Crawford County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) will conduct 15 investigations and potential response actions for the Avtex Mercury Adjunct Sites (sites). The sites are located at various locations in central Crawford County, PA. A more detailed description of the location for each of the 15 individual sites is located in the administrative record compiled for this response. The sites are various residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial properties, where media from the trickling filter of the wastewater treatment plant at the former Avtex Fibers, Inc. facility (media waste), was utilized as fill material. That media waste was contaminated with mercury, and may have caused a release of mercury into the environment at the site.
Since investigations at some of the sites have already revealed levels of mercury that represent a threat to human health and the environment, the Department has decided that response actions are appropriate at each of the sites. For these prompt interim responses, the Department considered two alternatives for each of the sites.
For the Ackerman, Griffin Motors, Longo, Meadville Sandblasting, O'Polka, Porky Road, Reixo Road, Shidemantle, Van Buren, Watson and Wetzel sites, the Department considered: 1A) no action with deed notification and ongoing monitoring; and 2A) excavation and offsite disposal of Avtex media waste and associated contaminated soils and sediment, followed by restoration to pre-excavation conditions.
For the Greenleaf Corporation site the Department considered: 1B) no action with deed notification and ongoing monitoring; and 2B) excavation and offsite disposal of Avtex media waste and associated contaminated soils and sediment, followed by restoration to pre-excavation conditions.
For the Ralph Hunter Gravel Pit site the Department considered: 1C) no action with deed notification, and 2C) excavation and offsite disposal of soil contaminated with mercury from the Avtex media waste, followed by restoration to pre-excavating conditions.
For the Game Farm Logging Road and Tobin sites the Department considered 1D) no action with deed notification and ongoing monitoring, and 2D) (if the waste is Avtex media waste) excavation and off-site disposal of Avtex media waste and associated soil and sediment, followed by restoration to pre-excavating conditions.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to three comparison criteria of: 1) Effectiveness; 2) Implementability; and 3) Cost. 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 2A (removal and offsite disposal and restoration) as the prompt interim response for the Ackerman, Griffin Motors, Longo, Meadville Sandblasting, O'Polka, Porky Road, Reixo Road, Shidemantle, Van Buren, Watson and Wetzel sites; Alternative 1B (no action with monitoring) for the Greenleaf Corporation site; Alternative 1C (no action) for the Ralph Hunter, Inc. Gravel Pit; and 2D (if the waste is Avtex media waste) excavation and offsite disposal (otherwise, no action) for the Game Farm Logging Road and Tobin sites. These alternatives were selected because they would, in the most cost-effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances, and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of 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. The administrative record is located 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. Please telephone beforehand for an appointment, (814) 332-6648.
The administrative record will be open for comment from November 20, 1999, until February 18, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Hal Beavers, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Hal Beavers at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before December 6, 1999, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if individuals have registered should contact Hal Beavers. If no one registers to present oral comments before December 6, 1999, the public hearing will not be held.
