    Preamble 1


    Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

       Sections 302, 303, 304 and 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 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)(l)(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 below 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 below. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified below, 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection 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.

    Public Notice

    Notice of Plan Approval and
    Operating Permit Applications

    Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 the Department, 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.

       Notice is hereby given that 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.

       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 CLEANUP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Notices of Prompt Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

    Jacob Kline Cooperage Site

    City of Allentown, Lehigh County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt response at the Jacob Kline Cooperage Site (site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA. The site is located at 701--725 East Highland Street in the City of Allentown, Lehigh County, PA.

       The site consists of wastes stored in 11 van-type truck trailers, two rolloff containers, and within drums on the ground next to these trailers. The wastes within the trailers are primarily contained within metal and plastic drums except for one of the trailers which contains a solid material stored directly in the trailer. The wastes are located in the northeast corner of the property near the intersection of E. Congress and N. Graham Streets. The site is located within a light industrial park and was used in the past by a drum recycling business, which operated on the property for many years until the early 1990s. An estimated 500 drums of waste will be addressed by this response action. Although there is no definitive inventory of the wastes contained in the drums at the site, it is believed that the wastes include oils, paints and solvents, corrosives, and other materials handled or generated by the drum reconditioners. Prior to the start of this response, the site was easily accessible and access was unrestricted.

       The objective of the prompt interim response is to remove the hazardous substances and contaminants from the site and to safely dispose of them at offsite facilities that have regulatory approvals for the treatment and disposal. This response will eliminate the immediate and direct threats posed by these wastes to human health and safety and the environment.

       Given the specific circumstances at this site, the Department determined that the removal of the hazardous substances and contaminants and offsite treatment and disposal is the only viable alternative to implement at this site. This response action is needed in a prompt manner to protest human health and the environment.

       On November 1, 1999, the Department mobilized an interim response services contractor to the site to conduct a prompt interim response. The work at the site will include securing the work area, handling and staging of the waste containers, identification and analysis of the wastes, proper packaging of the wastes for offsite transportation, and the disposal of the wastes at approved facilities.

       This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the DEP Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike (Route 512) in Hanover Township, Northampton County and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

       The administrative record will be open for comment from November 27, 1999, until February 25, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James Kunkle, DEP Project Officer, at the DEP Bethlehem Office at 4530 Bath Pike (Route 512) in Hanover Township, Northampton County or by delivering them to this office in person.

       In addition, persons may present oral comments on the remedy chosen by the Department, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for January 11, 2000 at 2 p.m. at the Bethlehem Office. Persons wishing to present comments must register with James Kunkle before 4 p.m. on January 5, 2000, by telephone at (610) 861-2070 or in writing at the DEP Bethlehem District Office.

       If no person registers to present oral comments by January 5, 2000, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if individuals have registered, and if the hearing will be held, should contact James Kunkle.

       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 James Kunkle or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

    LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

    Under Act 2, 1995

    Preamble 3


    The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program

       Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the Act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report, and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

       For further information concerning the plans and reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.
