LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

Under Act 2, 1995

Preamble 1

---

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, 303, 304 and 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 the remediation.

   Under sections 304(n)(l)(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 as 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'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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at [phone].

AIR QUALITY

Notice of 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 Pennsyhlvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits 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 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Notice of an Opening of an Administrative Record

Notice of a Remedial Action under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Yost Road Case

Whitpain Township, Montgomery County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has completed an investigation of the ground water contamination discovered in certain private water supply wells located along Yost Road, in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The comprehensive investigation confirmed the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) contamination in these wells, in excess of the Medium Specific Concentrations (MSCs), established under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2), 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 250, (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.909). These standards can be reviewed under Appendix A/Table 1, of the act.

   On May 3, 1999, the Department directed its contractor, Ogden Environmental and Energy Services (Ogden), to complete a comprehensive investigation of the ground water quality in the area of Yost Road. The emphasis of the investigation was placed on an accurate delineation of all private wells in the area and the purpose for which they are being used. Based on that information, Ogden completed sampling of all said wells, in order to determine the extent of the contamination. The investigation confirmed the presence of the aforementioned contamination in several private water supply wells.

   This Remedial Action is considered the Department's preferred alternative. It would consist of the extension of public water service to all affected wells along Yost Road. Residents along Yost Road, who currently utilize a private water supply well for potable purposes, but whose wells are not impacted by the contamination, would also begiven the opportunity to connect to the public water service. The Department considers this as the preferred alternative because it is necessary to protect the public health and safety in accordance with the HSCA.

   Due to the close proximity of the existing public water lines, the Department determined that this preferred remedial alternative, if ultimately chosen and implemented, under the authority of sections 501(a) and 505(c) of HSCA, would be the most permanent, protective and cost effective alternative for the site. The Department considered two other alternatives. The first, an interim response involving the installation of whole-house carbon filters, was considered and rejected, due to the more permanent, protective and cost effective advantages of the preferred alternative, asserted in the previous paragraph. Furthermore, the preferred alternative eliminates the need for protracted operation and maintenance of filters. The second alternative considered, no action, was rejected, because it would not have addressed or resolved the threat to public health associated with the contamination at issue.

   The Administrative Record (AR), which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment from 8:15 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Department offices located at 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. A second copy of this AR, will also be made available for public inspection at the Wissahickon Public Library, located at 650 Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, PA, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The library is also open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

   Written comments concerning the Department's preferred remedial response alternative, as asserted above and the information contained in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked on or before May 5, 2000. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Michael Timcik, PADEP Project Officer, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428, [phone].

   In addition, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for 7 p.m., on Wednesday, March 22, 2000, at the Whitpain Township Municipal Building. The municipal building is located at 960 Wentz Road, Blue Bell, PA. Persons wishing to present oral comments should register on or before March 22, 2000, by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at [phone].

   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 contact John Gerdelmann or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at [phone] to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The Department is providing this Notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under the act.
