PA0088897, CAFO, Hissong Farmstead, Inc. (Hissong Dairy Farm), 5492 Buchanan Trail West, Greencastle, PA 17225. Hissong Farmstead, Inc. has submitted an application for an individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Hissong Dairy Farm, 5492 Buchanan Trail West, Peters and Montgomery Townships, Franklin County.
The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary of West Branch Conococheague Creek in Watershed 13-C (TSF, MF). Following expansion, the CAFO proposes to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,334 AEUs consisting of 720 adult dairy cows, 350 heifers aged 1 to 2 years, 205 heifers aged 0 to 1 year and 4 bulls. The adult dairy cows are housed in two barns, while the heifers are housed separately in multiple barns onsite. Dairy barn manure and milk parlor wastewater is collected, treated through a sand separator system to recover sand bedding and pumped to a solids separator building. Filtrate from the solids separator is discharged into a three-stage settling cell system and then overflows into a two-stage clay-lined manure impoundment with a total capacity of approximately 7.6 million gallons. Heifer manure is scraped into concrete reception pits, which also receive runoff from feedlots in some cases. Young heifer manure is collected with bedding and is stacked onsite. An additional 1.3 million gallons of storage capacity is available onsite. Liquid manure is spray irrigated and solid manure is land applied in accordance with the operation's Nutrient Management Plan.
The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit.
The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
Following the 30-day comment period, the water management program manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The EPA permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

[Continued from previous Web Page] HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Interim Response Vandor Manufacturing Site, Doylestown Township, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is proposing an interim response at the Vandor Manufacturing Site (Site), Doylestown Township, Bucks County. This response will be undertaken under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The Site is on the border of Doylestown and Buckingham Townships in Bucks County. The Site is comprised of two properties at 740 and 760 Edison Furlong Road and an associated plume of contaminated groundwater. Edison Furlong Road constitutes the boundary between the two townships; both properties are in Doylestown Township. The Site consists of a plume of groundwater contaminated with VOCs, most notably trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE).
The Department has completed an investigation into the extent and source of groundwater contamination. Samples were collected from private supply wells in the area, as well as several groundwater monitoring wells that the Department installed throughout the Site area. Among the key findings: (1) elevated levels of TCE, PCE and several breakdown products remain in the groundwater at the Site; (2) several private water supply wells contain levels of contaminants in excess of the drinking water standards; and (3) an area of soil near the loading dock of the former Neshaminy Transformer Corporation facility at 740 Edison Furlong Road is contaminated with PCE. Concentrations were detected as high as 4,700 ppb. The Statewide Health Standard in the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) for PCE is 500 ppb. This has been and continues to be a source area of PCE in groundwater.
Based on these findings, the Department has determined that further response action is justified at the Site, under sections 501 and 505 of the HSCA. Since there are two media of concern, soil and groundwater, the Department has divided its Analysis of Alternatives into two sections, or Operable Units.
Operable Unit One addresses the contaminated soil acting as a source of PCE contamination in groundwater. The Department is considering four alternatives. The first alternative, no action, is used as a baseline by which to judge the other alternatives. While this alternative would incur no costs, it does not protect human health or the environment. The second alternative includes installation of an impermeable asphalt cap over the area containing soil contamination above the applicable cleanup levels. The objective of the cap proposed under this alternative is not to prevent direct exposure to contamination, but rather to address contaminant migration to groundwater. The estimated cost of this alternative is $356,000. The third alternative includes soil excavation and removal. Contaminated soil would be shipped to a lawful, permitted disposal facility and the area would be backfilled with clean soil. The estimated cost of this alternative is $1.751 million. The fourth alternative includes in situ treatment of the contaminated soil. There are several ways to approach this alternative, including bioremediation, soil vapor extraction and chemical oxidation/reduction. The estimated cost of this alternative is $752,000.
Operable Unit Two addresses contaminated groundwater. The Department is considering four alternatives. The first alternative, no action, incurs no costs but does not protect human health and the environment. The second alternative includes installation, monitoring and maintenance of whole house carbon filtration systems for as long as groundwater remains contaminated. The estimated cost of this alternative is $450,000. The third alternative includes connection to a public water supply system. A municipal water supply system would be extended to the affected area and contaminated wells would be permanently closed. The estimated cost of this alternative is $1.5 million. The fourth alternative involves installation of a groundwater treatment system. Carbon filters would also be required on each affected well until the contamination levels decrease to safe levels. The estimated cost of this alternative is $5 million.
The Department is proposing Alternative 2, an impermeable asphalt cap, for Operable Unit One and Alternative 2, whole house carbon filtration systems, for Operable Unit Two. These are the most cost-effective methods of addressing the threats to human health and the environment posed by the contamination.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA and the publication of this notice starts the Administrative Record public comment period under the HSCA. The Administrative Record, which contains information about this Site and which supports the Department's decision to perform these actions at the Site, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 by contacting Grant Morehead, (484) 250-5727 for an appointment. The Administrative Record may also be reviewed at the Doylestown Township Building, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Telephone (215) 348-9915 to schedule an appointment at the township building.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding these actions to the Department until May 27, 2004, by mailing them to Grant Morehead, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, gmorehead@state.pa.us. If submitting comments by e-mail, type ''Comment on Administrative Record for Vandor Manufacturing HSCA Site'' in the subject line.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing regarding the proposed actions. The hearing will take place on Tuesday, March 30, 2004, at the Doylestown Township Building, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. There will be a question and answer session at 6 p.m. and the formal hearing will start at 7 p.m. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register on or before 4 p.m. on March 30, 2004, by calling Lynda Rebarchak, Community Relations Coordinator, (484) 250-5820.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should call Lynda Rebarchak at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
