Opening of the Administrative Record and Proposed Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Leighton Industries Site
Borough of Phoenixville, Chester CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has proposed an interim response at the Leighton Industries Site (site). The site is located at 40 South Second Avenue, Phoenixville Borough, Chester County.
The site consists of a 7.5 acre property which was abandoned in 1993. The site has been under investigation by the Department since that time. Based upon the findings of the investigation the Department determined that soil on the site is contaminated by hazardous materials. The Department has also discovered dust, waste piles, pits and tanks in site buildings and in exterior portions of the property which contain hazardous substances.
The Department conducted a Prompt Interim Response Action in April 1996 to address drums containing hazardous materials at the Site. The basis for the Prompt Interim Response was outlined in an Analysis of Alternatives and Proposed Response Document dated March 25, 1996.
The Department has determined that additional action is necessary to address contaminated soil and hazardous materials which were improperly disposed of at the site. Lead contamination at the site may pose a threat to public health and to the environment through direct contact, ingestion and/or inhalation. Contaminants and wastes from the site may be subject to migration by wind, in surface water or in groundwater. This migration could result in offsite contamination which could affect nearby residents or children at the adjacent elementary school.
The proposed Interim Response Action includes the excavation of soil which is contaminated at levels exceeding the Statewide Human Health Based cleanup standards. The Action would also include the removal and containerization of hazardous substances from the building floor, in waste piles, pits and tanks. After excavation or removal and staging, these materials would be sampled for transportation and disposal characterization and shipped to an approved facility for treatment and/or disposal.
The Department proposes to conduct the response action as an Interim Response under the authority of HSCA. The Department may undertake an Interim Response at a site if the cost is estimated to be less than $2 million and the expected duration of the action is less than 12 months. The Department's estimates of cost and duration for the proposed response action meet the cost and time constraints imposed on Interim Response actions under HSCA. The Department considered taking no action at the site, and determined that taking no action would not address or resolve the threat to public health and the environment associated with the site.
The administrative record (AR), which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the DEP offices located at 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

Project Description:
This project proposes the construction of a 460,000 square foot high school on a 119.67 acre tract. The school district projects an ultimate school population of 3,236 including students and staff for grades 9 through 12. The proposed 32,360 gpd of sewage flows are based on a 10 gpd/person flow figure.
The construction of a package treatment plant is proposed as the method of sewage disposal to serve the school. Public water will be supplied to the school by an extension of the South Whitehall Township Municipal Water System.
This treatment plant has been designated the interim regional treatment facility to allow for future joint use of this sewage treatment plant to handle the present and future short-term needs of the area.
This treatment plant will discharge into the Jordan Creek. Acceptance of this revision is conceptual. It leaves to be addressed at a later date both (1) the effluent limitations necessary to satisfy protection requirements and to protect public health, and (2) specific treatment technology.
A hydrogeologic study must be submitted for this project along with the application for the NPDES Permit.
Please be advised that this covers only the planning aspects of this project and as it relates to the municipality's Official Sewage Plan. Except for those projects qualifying for a permit exemption under Act 40, the developer may need to receive a permit for the extension and construction of the necessary sewer work. Should you need a permit, a copy of this letter must accompany the application. This permit may be obtained from the Water Management Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
