UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988Forge PCE Site, Schuylkill Township,
Chester County.The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is proposing an interim response at the Forge PCE Site, Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, has conducted further investigations at the Forge PCE Site (Site), located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County. These investigations have included soil and groundwater sampling at a site formerly occupied by the Forge Cleaning Center located in Phoenixville Borough, Chester County and monitoring of numerous private drinking water supply wells located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County. This monitoring included regular sampling and limited maintenance of six full-house carbon filter units previously installed by Phoenixville Borough. The filters were installed by Phoenixville Borough as a result of investigations of a former Borough Landfill located near the affected residential wells. Studies conducted by the Borough revealed that the Tetrachloroethene (PCE) contamination in the residential wells was not attributed to the landfill site. Subsequently the Department began its investigation of the Site under HSCA. The Department has identified a plume of contaminated groundwater affecting a number of private wells that supply water for domestic use at several residences along Second Avenue in Schuylkill Township. The contaminant of concern at this site, PCE, is a volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in the dry cleaning industry. A former dry cleaning business named Forge Cleaning Center, located near the intersection of Starr Street and Nutt Road in Phoenixville Borough is the suspected source of the groundwater contamination. PCE has been detected at concentrations above the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's applicable or relevant and appropriate standards in home wells, surface water and sediment. Standards exceeded by PCE included Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) of 5 micrograms per liter (ug/l) for drinking water, adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 300f) et seq. and by the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board pursuant to the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721--721.17). Approximately ten wells are currently known to be affected or threatened by the contamination.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an interim response action at the Site under Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA. The Department is considering three alternative response actions to provide a long-term source of potable water to residents.
Alternative 1) No Action: The ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be compared. Under Alternative 1 the Department would discontinue monitoring and maintenance of the existing filtration units. If the Department selects the ''No Action'' alternative, the actual and potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site may worsen over time as the filters become ineffective at removing the contaminant.
Alternative 2) Continued Maintenance of Carbon Filtration Units: Carbon Filtrations is effective for removing PCE from well water. However, Alternative 2 is not a permanent solution because carbon filter units would require many years of ongoing operations and maintenance.
Alternative 3) Connection to a Water Supply System Utility: This alternative involves extension of the existing water supply main and connection of affected and threatened residences to the supply. This remedy would be implemented through a grant to the municipality (Schuylkill Township). This alternative would be a permanent solution, which would address all threats posed by the contaminants of concern to water supply wells in the vicinity of the Site.
In evaluating this alternative to date, the Department has considered the criteria of permanence protection of human health and environment, and the alternative's ability to meet applicable, or relevant and appropriate state and federal requirements (ARARs). The Department has also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the alternatives. The Department finds that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department proposes Alternative 3, connection to a public water supply, based on its preference for a permanent solution. In respect of the permanence of the alternative, a public water connection is preferable to carbon filtration of individual wells.
The Department's proposed alternative, connection to a public water supply, is protective of public health and the environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and cost-effective.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Dustin Armstrong at (610) 832-6206 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Schuylkill Township Municipal Building, 111 Valley Park Road, Schuylkill Township, Chester County.
A public hearing is scheduled under Section 506(d) of HSCA for March 29, 2001, at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill Township Municipal Building, 111 Valley Park Road. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the March 29, 2001, meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann at (610) 832-6228 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed interim response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with Section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open and will close on Friday, May 18, 2001. Written comments should be addressed to Dustin A. Armstrong, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken PA 19428.

Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (53 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 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 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, 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)(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 below. 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.

AIR QUALITY NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NONMAJOR SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONSThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 DEP, 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 DEP 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 Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice, and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the DEP providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with DEP 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 DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the following Regional Office. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
