Sections 302 and 303 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 identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
McAdoo Associates Superfund Site
Kline Township and McAdoo Borough, Schuylkill CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), along with the United States of America, under the authority of section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) and section 122 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, of 1980, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622, has entered into a proposed Consent Decree with the United States of America and a group of settling defendants (defendants) subsequent to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection v. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 97-7144 and The United States of America v. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 97-7140. The proposed Consent Decree was lodged on December 9, 1997, with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The proposed Consent Decree is intended to comprise a global settlement with respect to remaining issues involving the Kline Township portion of the McAdoo Associates Superfund Site (site). The site is located in or near the Borough of McAdoo, Schuylkill County.
The proposed Consent Decree would settle actions that the Department brought under sections 507 and 1103 of the HSCA and section 107(a) of CERCLA and would compel the settling defendants to undertake certain response actions and to reimburse the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for response costs incurred at the site. The proposed Consent Decree also settles claims of some of the settling defendants against others of the settling defendants arising out of an earlier settlement relative to the site in United States and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 87-7352 (E.D. Pa.) (consent decree entered June 3, 1988) (1988 decree).
Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree: (1) those settling defendants that settled under the 1988 decree (Air Products parties) will receive $1.2 million from those settling defendants that did not settle with the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under the 1988 decree (Alcan parties) and from the escrow account to resolve the Air Product parties' claims for contribution against the Alcan parties ($170,000), and to resolve the Air Products parties' reauthorized claim for reimbursement from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Hazardous Substance Superfund under the 1988 decree ($1.03 million); (2) The Air Products parties will implement a groundwater monitoring remedy selected under a Record of Decision for the site issued on September 30, 1991 for Operable Unit 2 (OU2) at the site; (3) the settling defendants will pay the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania past costs relating to OU2 at the site (totaling $75,000 and $5,000 respectively); and (4) the United States will recover, on behalf of the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund from the Alcan parties, the sum of $970,000, plus a designated share of interest that has accrued on funds that the Alcan parties paid into an escrow account pending finalization of a 1992 consent decree, whose entry was vacated by the United States Court of Appeals in United States v. Alcan Aluminum, Inc. 25 F.3d 1174 (3d Cir. 1994). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, will not receive any of the aforementioned interest.
The proposed Consent Decree includes a covenant not to sue by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under sections 507, 701, 702, 1101 and 1102 of the HSCA. The settling defendants also receive contribution protection under section 705 of the HSCA.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.1113. Section 1113 of the HSCA provides that the settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments. The proposed Consent Decree which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The proposed Consent Decree can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, by contacting Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD). A public comment period on the proposed Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. The Department will accept written comments concerning the proposed Consent Decree until April 22, 1998.

The purpose of this response is to eliminate the threat to the public health and the environment caused by the presence of lead contamination in the site soils, waste piles and building. This will be accomplished by the removal of site waste materials to an approved disposal facility and by the placement of a soil cover over the entire site. The actions taken under this phase of the response will eliminate the pathway of concern, direct contact, for the public and the environment.
The site (EPA identification no. PAD086727435) is located on approximately 13 acres in Butler Township, Schuylkill County, PA. It is located at 40°46`13" north latitude and 76°20`26" west longitude on the USGS Ashland, PA 7.5 minute quadrangle. The site is bordered by Germanville Road to the south, to the west by the Conrail right-of-way, and to the north and east by Mahanoy Creek. The Giordano Waste Materials HSCA Site is located directly across Germanville Road. The Giordano site is related to the Ashland Metals site in that both were used in the battery recycling operation and both sites exhibit similar physical as well as chemical contamination characteristics.
The site is a defunct battery recycling facility. Several buildings are onsite including the former processing building used for site operations, an office building and a garage/repair shop. Waste piles of chopped battery casings, waste acid tanks and trailers filled with whole and chopped battery casings are present. Vegetation at the site is sparse, with most of the site subject to erosion. Although no mining operations have occurred onsite, the site contains a surficial fill layer consisting of coal tailings from the area. A fence is present along the southern portion of the site, adjacent to Germanville Road.
A recent site study conducted by Foster Wheeler Environmental Corp. working as a Department General Technical Assistance Contractor revealed the presence of significant quantities of buried chopped and whole battery casings scattered throughout the site. Significant levels of lead contamination are associated with the media surrounding these buried wastes. The Foster Wheeler study confirmed the presence of significant levels of lead contamination as presented in earlier site studies and quantified the extent of surface, soil, surface water and groundwater contamination at the site. Wastes present in above ground storage tanks were sampled. Containerized waste on the site were inventoried and also sampled. The results, which were presented in a site Technical Directive Memorandum (TDM) to the Department, indicated that hazardous levels of contamination were present throughout the site in site soils, containers and waste/debris piles.
Releases have occurred from the site during the battery recycling operations. The releases include lead, and lead by-products found in batteries, acids and waste whole and chopped battery casings. Acids were collected in an acid holding tank which is still located onsite. The efficiency of this collection system is questionable, and releases of acids occurred during normal plant operations. Battery casings were chopped and stored and/or disposed of onsite. Waste piles present onsite were found to contain high levels of lead and could present the largest source of contamination from the site, impacting site soils and groundwater.
Previous site investigations have determined that areas of site contamination consist of site soils, waste piles, debris and containers within site buildings, acid storage tanks, stockpiled battery casings and buried battery casings. Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) data indicate that all of the waste types exhibited TCLP lead concentrations characteristic of hazardous waste. Total lead concentrations in soils throughout most of the site exceed 1,000 ppm. Lead has also been demonstrated to be present in groundwater associated with the site.
These significant concentrations of lead contaminated surface media as well as wastes placed on the surface pose a significant threat to the public health and the environment. Lead is a hazardous substance, as defined by section 103 of the HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103, as well as the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510, 94 Stat. 2767), as amended.
Response Category
The chosen response at this site will be conducted as an interim response under section 501 of the HSCA utilizing the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. The Department may undertake an interim response whenever the cost of the response is expected to be less than $2,000,000, and the duration of the response is expected to be no longer than 12 months. The proposed response is estimated to cost less than $2,000,000 and is expected to be completed within 12 months.
The proposed response action includes the offsite treatment and disposal of contaminated waste/debris piles and building materials, and placement of a clay and soil/vegetative cover over the site. These actions are appropriate for an interim response. The Department may undertake any interim response which it deems necessary or appropriate to protect the public health, safety and welfare or the environment where there is a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance. The Department has determined that the proposed response action will achieve the response action objectives established by the Department, as discussed in the following and be protective of public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. Additional response action may be needed to achieve a complete and final cleanup for the site.
The response action objective established by the Department for the site is to prevent human exposure to site media with concentrations of contaminants above health-based levels.
To achieve this objective, the following alternatives were considered:
* Alternative 1: No further action. This alternative provides a baseline against which other alternatives can be compared. Under this alternative, no activities would be implemented at the site. Because no response actions would be implemented with this alternative, neither the human nor the environmental risks associated with the site would decrease.
* Alternative 2: Removal of all site surface waste/debris piles and building contents along with the demolition of the site building, as well as the construction of a site fence to limit access. All surface waste and demolition material will be sent to an offsite disposal facility. The estimated cost for this alternative is $650,000. The remedy would not be a permanent remedy since the mobility, toxicity and volume of the contaminants in site soils would not be significantly altered, although the direct contact pathway would be reduced.
* Alternative 3: Removal of all site surface waste/debris piles and building contents along with the demolition of the site building. All waste and demolition material will be sent to an offsite disposal facility. The entire area of the site would be covered with clean clay, soil and/or mine spoil material and stabilized (erosion control, topsoil addition and revegetation). The estimated cost for this alternative is $2,000,000. This alternative would significantly reduce the potential for contact with the contaminated soil on site and be protective to the community by eliminating the nuisance and physical and chemical threats presented by site buildings and contaminated soil.
* Alternative 4: Removal of waste, debris, soil, buried battery casings and building material with lead levels in excess of 1,000 mg/kg, offsite disposal of the material removed, and stabilizing the site. The estimated cost for this alternative is $7,000,000. This alternative would significantly reduce the potential for contact with site contaminants and significantly reduce environmental threats to the community and the environment, however, the cost of this remedy is out of the scope of an HSCA interim response.
Proposed Response
The Department has selected Alternative 3, the removal of all surface waste and debris along with the removal of all wastes within the site processing building to an offsite disposal facility and the implementation of institutional and engineering controls. Also, the remains of the site processing building as well as the maintenance garage and related structures would be demolished and the debris disposed of at an approved offsite disposal facility. The institutional and engineering controls under this alternative include a clean soil cover and deed notices. This alternative will protect human health by isolating the contamination from human contact. Isolating the contamination will eliminate the direct contact, inhalation and ingestion pathways. Deed notices will be implemented to help ensure the contamination will remain isolated and that the groundwater at the site will not be utilized. This alternative meets the requirements of an HSCA interim response.
The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before May 22, 1998, to the attention of Joseph Iannuzzo, Project Officer, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for April 7, 1998 at 1 p.m. at the Butler Township Municipal Building which is located on Route 61 in Butler Township. Persons wishing to present oral testimony must register on or before March 24, 1998 by calling Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2589. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered or the location of the hearing should contact Joseph Iannuzzo.

Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a settlement relating to the cleanup of the AIW Frank/Mid-County Mustang National Priority List (NPL) Superfund Site (site) in Exton, PA. The settlement involves a Consent Order and Agreement between the Department and Lewis and Ruth Frame (Frames), who are potentially responsible parties as owners of a portion of the site during a release of hazardous substances at the site.
The site consists of approximately 16 acres along Business Route 30 just eat of the intersection of Ship Road in Exton, PA. Between approximately 1975 and 1996, the AIW Frank Corporation used a portion of the site, the AIW Frank property, for manufacturing Styrofoam products. During AIW Frank's operations, and during the time when the Frames owned the AIW Frank property, hazardous substances were released on and about the property, leading to soil and groundwater contamination.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department have concurred on the appropriate remedial response for the site as documented in an EPA Record of Decision (ROD) dated September 29, 1995. The remedial action includes excavation and disposal of contaminated soils, removal of drums and extraction and treatment of groundwater, as well as long term monitoring of groundwater at the site. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Order and Agreement, the Frames will perform certain remedial work at the site, and will reimburse a portion of the costs incurred by the Department in connection with the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed Consent Order and Agreement from the date of publication of this notice. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement 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, by contacting David Ewald at (610) 832-6200 or Paul Rettinger at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours.

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance from Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Matthew A. Bertovich by calling (724) 439-7304.
Summary of the Request: Maple Creek Mining has requested permission to have shelter hole intervals not in excess of 135 feet along the track haulage entries in all development areas of the Maple Creek Mine.
The basis for the Bureau's approval can be summarized in the following statements:
1. Crosscuts that will serve as shelter holes will be maintained free of obstructions and debris, other than normal roof to ground support, such as posts and/or cribs. Clearance will be maintained for a depth of at least 15 feet the entire width of the crosscut except where the posts and/or cribs are built. To provide access into the crosscut, at least one 4-foot minimum width opening will be provided between such cribs and/or posts.
2. Pedestrians will have the right-of-way on the track haulage. Vehicle operators will stop until the pedestrian has reached a shelter hole or has walked past.
3. Locomotives used to transport supplies or equipment must be of sufficient size (tonnage) to be able to stop their loads within a safe distance.
4. All vehicles will be operated at speeds which will allow quick and safe stops under prevailing track conditions.
5. Shelter holes will be maintained at all switch throws and doors unless a crosscut designated as a shelter hole is within 15 feet.
6. Supply cars and equipment shall be pulled by a locomotive in the direction of travel. When it is necessary to push nonpropelled (supply cars, and the like) track haulage equipment, it shall be done only from the last available track switch. Trip lights shall be used on the end that does not have a locomotive coupled.
7. Personnel working along track haulage roads will be provided with flashing or reflective warning devices which will be readily visible to approaching track-mounted vehicles. These devices will be placed not less than 50 feet from either end of the work site.
8. All personnel will be adequately trained and instructed concerning shelter hole procedures and safety precautions.
9. Signs will be posted at the entrance to the track haulageway where the variance is in effect that states ''Extended Shelter Hole Intervals.''
10. A copy of the approved variance will be posted on the mine bulletin board.
11. A means of identifying shelter hole locations shall be provided by means of a reflective indicator/marker that is visible from along the track haulage travelway. Markers shall be of standardized color and design.
This approval is limited to a variance from the distance requirements for shelter holes contained in section 268(b) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. All other terms and requirements of section 268 shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the approved plan.
