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 before 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.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Interim Response Prompt Interim Response; Bishop Tube Site, East Whiteland Township, Chester County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Bishop Tube Site (Site), East Whiteland Township, Chester County, PA.
The Site is located on Malin Road, south of US 30, in Frazier, East Whiteland Township, Chester County. The Site consists of a large area of contaminated groundwater associated with the former Bishop Tube Company. The Bishop Tube Company used and or released hazardous substances into the environment including trichloroethylene (TCE), nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and various heavy metals including nickel and chromium. TCE is of particular concern since it has been detected in groundwater on the former Bishop Tube property and in wells and springs off site. Three distinct source areas of TCE contamination in saturated and unsaturated soil have been identified on the former Bishop Tube property. These source areas continue to cause degradation of groundwater. Contaminants related to the site have been detected in one home well and the nearby Little Valley Creek. A former owner and operator of the Bishop Tube Company fitted the affected home well with a granular activated carbon treatment system to remove TCE from the water supply. The Department has maintained the filter as part of the ongoing groundwater investigation. In addition to groundwater and surface water exposures, TCE vapors from contaminated soil and groundwater may enter buildings near the source area or from severely contaminated groundwater.
The 13.7 acre Site is currently owned by Constitution Drive Partners, LP (CDP), which purchased it from the Central and Western Chester County Industrial Development Authority in 2005, with the intention of redeveloping the property for commercial/light industrial use. Two adjoining manufacturing buildings on the Site occupy 3.2 acres. The remainder of the property primarily consists of paved and gravel storage/parking areas with undeveloped grass and wooded areas south of the buildings. The Bishop Tube property is currently not occupied. However, CDP is developing plans for the site.
As part of the purchase of the property, CDP agreed to actively remediate contaminated unsaturated soils in the three source areas. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) agreed to use its best efforts to work with CDP to address groundwater contamination without causing excessive interference in redevelopment of the property. CDP is proposing to remediate unsaturated soils in the three areas using soil vapor extraction. In one of these areas (known as the Plant #8 Vapor Degreaser) a significant amount of the contamination (including suspected areas of undissolved TCE waste, known as free product) is in the saturated zone above the bedrock. Testing performed by CDP has revealed that in order to effectively implement the SVE remedy in the Plant #8 Vapor Degreaser source area, a sub-slab vapor barrier must be installed. This barrier prevents ambient air from entering the soil and ''short-circuiting'' the contaminated zone. To address the source of contamination within the saturated soil in this area, the Department will need to install wells and other infrastructure beneath the building slab and under the proposed vapor barrier. CDP and the Department have agreed to work together to cost effectively address the soil (saturated and unsaturated zones) source areas at the Site. The Department has initiated a prompt interim response to effectuate the source area cleanup.
The Department considered two options when evaluating the remediation of saturated zone soils at the site.
Alternative 1--No Action--The ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which the other alternatives can be prepared and/or judged. Had the Department selected the ''No Action'' alternative, free product present in the source area would result in perpetuation of regional groundwater degradation and resulting stream discharge and indoor air concerns. Future remediation of groundwater contamination would be rendered more difficult and costly without actions to address its source.
Alternative 2--Treatment of Groundwater Contained in the Unconsolidated Materials within the Former Plant #8 Source Area--This alternative involves treatment of saturated soil and groundwater in the former Plant #8 Vapor Degreaser Area. This treatment could involve physical, biological and/or chemical treatment techniques to capture and/or destroy contaminants. The Department has reached an agreement with CDP to share costs and construction obligations associated with a physical treatment technology, known as air sparging (AS), which is complimentary with CDP's proposed soil vapor extraction system. The combined air sparging/soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) system physically removes volatile organic compounds, such as TCE, through the injection and removal of air in the source area. TCE and other volatile organic contaminants are transferred from the contaminated soil or groundwater into the air prior to extraction and treatment above ground. TCE and other hazardous substances in the extracted air would be captured (for offsite disposal) or destroyed prior to discharge to the atmosphere.
Though AS/SVE has been used successfully at many sites, a number of factors, including soil type, proximity of groundwater to the extraction wells and extremely high contaminant concentrations, may limit its effectiveness at the Site. Therefore, this alternative provides for alternative treatment technologies. Sufficient flexibility can be incorporated into the AS/SVE infrastructure to allow for alternative treatment methods including introduction of heated air, steam, chemical oxidants or biological amendments to help remove and/or destroy the contaminants.
This remedy would minimize the continued off-site migration of contaminated groundwater and discharges to Little Valley Creek. The remedy is an important phase of a final remedial action aimed at addressing the wider groundwater degradation (including off-site and deep bedrock aquifer contamination) associated with the Site.
The Department has selected Alternative 2 and has initiated construction of the remedy. The Department acted promptly so as to coordinate efforts with CDP in performing work beneath the slab of the existing building, which they intend to restore to productive use. This Alternative is technically feasible, implementable and would reduce risks to human health and the environment by eliminating contamination at its source.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administratie Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's offices at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA by calling Dustin Armstrong at (484) 250-5723.
An additional copy of the Administratie Record is available for review at the East Whiteland Township Offices, 209 Conestoga Road, Frazer, PA 19355.
A public hearing is scheduled under Section 506(d) of HSCA for January 30, 2007, at 7 p.m. at the East Whiteland Township Building, 209 Conestoga Road, Frazer, PA. The Department will be available to informally answer questions beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Township Building. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this response action may do so by registering with the Department before the hearing by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator Lynda Rebarchak at (484) 250-58720.
