AIR QUALITY

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's 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 permit 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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

   Northeast Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, [phone].

   Borough of Thompson, Susquehanna County

   The Department of Environmental Protection has reviewed the Plan Update Revision amended on June 9, 1995 (received by the Department on September 29, 1998) in conjunction with Addendum No. 1-1998 (received by the Department on August 4, 1998), with additional supplemental materials dated September 15, 1998 (received by the Department on September 29, 1998) and October 22, 1998 (received by the Department on October 26, 1998) as prepared by Nassaux-Hemsley Inc. and the Borough of Thompson.

   The Department's review has found that the Plan Update Revision is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   The wastewater disposal alternative chosen to be implemented is Alternative 7A as identified in the Plan Update Revision. This alternative proposes the construction of a 30,000 GPD wastewater treatment facility (sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system with stream discharge) and wastewater collection/conveyance system (with various appurtenances) to serve 130 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU's) located in the Borough of Thompson as shown on Maps PS-1R, and 8-1 in the Plan Update Revision. The 130 EDU's includes 43 EDU's which currently discharge their untreated wastewater to a ''wildcat'' sewer system with two outfalls directly to Starrucca Creek. Sewer service will also be provided for an additional 19 EDU's which discharge untreated wastewater directly to Starrucca Creek or its immediate tributaries. In addition to eliminating all ''wildcat'' sewers within the Borough, the proposed wastewater collection system will serve 68 EDU's whose onlot wastewater disposal systems are currently malfunctioning or otherwise inadequate. The Plan Update Revision also provides for the establishment of an onlot sewage management program. The proposed program will provide for the long-term monitoring and continued safe operation of all remaining onlot wastewater disposal systems located within Thompson Borough.

   Financing of the chosen wastewater disposal alternative's construction is proposed to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture--Rural Utilities Service (RUS) in the form of a grant and long-term, low interest loan. A special appropriations grant administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers will also be utilized to construct the proposed facilities. The Borough is also proposing a $500 connection fee to reduce the total amount of funds required to be obtained through RUS.

   In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71) the Department will hold the Borough of Thompson responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update Revision's chosen alternative, as listed in the Schedule of Implementation, contained in Addendum No. 1-1998 of the Plan Update Revision.

   Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update Revision must be in compliance with the Department's Regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

   Location:  Stroud Township, Monroe County

   Project Description:  The Department has completed its review of the Township's Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision for the S. R. 447 study area in the northeastern portion of Stroud Township, dated September 8, 1998, with revisions of September 30, 1998, and October 7, 1998. The Plan Update was prepared by Reilly Associates. The Department finds this Update Revision acceptable and hereby grants planning approval for the proposed modification of the municipality's Plan.

   The study area is currently served by onlot sewage disposal systems with a potential health risk due to malfunction of the systems. To address existing and future sewage disposal needs of the study area, a centralized low pressure sewer collection system serving 127 EDU's from approximately 1,500 feet north of Learn Lane (Hayward Labs/United Steel) to the intersection of Business Rt. 209 and S. R. 447 is the recommended alternative of the Plan. The system will extend up Monroe Heights Road and continue south along B. R. 209 connection to an existing 12" diameter sewer line near the intersection of Oak Street and West Sixth Street in East Stroudsburg Borough, with subsequent treatment of the wastewater at the East Stroudsburg treatment plant. Estimated average daily sewage flow from the proposed system is 31,750 gpd.

   The Department's review of the Plan Update Revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposal. In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's Regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold the Township of Stroud responsible for the complete and timely implementation of this plan.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement

DuPont/New Castle Junk Yard Site
City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County

   Under Section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Anchor Hocking Corporation (Anchor) and Pfaltzgraff Company (Pfaltzgraff) concerning the cleanup of the DuPont/New Castle Junk Yard Site (Site).

   In the past, hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department has incurred more than $1,100,000 in response costs at the Site. The Department estimates that it will cost up to 14 million dollars more to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site. As an owner of a portion of the Site subsequent to hazardous substance disposal and initial releases at the Site, and during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site, Anchor and Pfaltzgraff are each a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103). Under the terms of the CO&A, Anchor and Pfaltzgraff shall pay a total of $804,945.59 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund in settlement of each of their shares of the responsibility for the cleanup of the Site. Anchor and Pfaltzgraff will also conduct a cleanup of the former China Manufacturing building under the terms of the CO&A. The Department anticipates that additional response actions will be conducted at the Site in 1999 to mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances there.

   The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A between the Department and Anchor/Pfaltzgraff. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if the comments concerning the CO&A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Anchor and Pfaltzgraff shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Anchor and Pfaltzgraff, in writing, that this Consent Order and Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A, or that no such comments were received.

   Copies of the CO&A are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Harold Nye, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Harold Nye at [phone]. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at [phone].
