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--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. 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 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 (800) 654-5984.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 NOTICE OF PROPOSED INTERIM OR
REMEDIAL RESPONSEMays/Hickman Road site, Robinson Township, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing a response action for the Mays/Hickman Road site (Site). The Site is located at the end of Hickman Road on property adjacent to Montour Run in Robinson Township, Allegheny County.
The Site consists of approximately 1,200 tons of carbon sweepings that were dumped onto the property in the 1950s and 1960s. In addition, eight leaking 55 gallons are on the Site. A site investigation conducted by the Department in 2001 found that that the carbon sweepings, leaking drums and related contaminated soils contained elevated semi-VOCs. These ''hazardous substances,'' as defined under the HSCA, threaten surface water since runoff from the Site discharges into Montour Run. Exposure to the carbon sweepings and the material in the drums pose a direct contact threat to individuals and wildlife. The Site poses an accidental ingestion threat due to the fact that the adjacent stream is used for swimming and fishing.
The objective of this response is to remove the human health threats associated with the carbon sweepings pile, leaking drums and associated soil contamination.
The following response alternatives were considered:
#1. No action: This alternative would involve no response by the Department to address the threats.
#2. Restrict site access: Under this alternative the carbon sweeping pile, drums and associated contaminated soil would be enclosed behind a fence 8 feet high with warnings signs.
#3. Landfill capping: This alternative would require that the drums and excavated contaminated soil be combined with the carbon sweepings pile. This combined area would be graded, capped and a final vegetated cover placed over it in accordance the residual waste regulations (Chapter 288).
#4. Excavation and offsite disposal: This alternative would consist of removal for offsite disposal of the carbon sweepings pile and drums. In addition, contaminated soils related to both areas would be excavated and removed for offsite disposal. The soil cleanup standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2) would be met in the excavated areas.
The Department is proposing to implement alternative #4. This alternative is more protective of human health and the environment than alternative #1, #2 or #3. The cleanup standards under Act 2 will be used for this response.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's regional office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA and is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will open for comment from March 16, 2002, until June 17, 2002. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Terry Goodwald, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.
Persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on April 17, 2002, at 7 p.m., at the Robinson Township Municipal Building, 1000 Churchill Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Betsy Mallison before April 15, 2002, by telephone at (412) 442-4000 or in writing to 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
