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 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement Bottle House Site City of Allentown, Lehigh County Under section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into de minimis settlements in the form of a Consent Order and Agreement (CO & A) with BASF Corporation; ConocoPhillips Company; E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Company; Georgia Gulf Corporation; Graver Technologies; Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.; Lyondell Chemical Company; Merck & Co., Inc.; Pharmacia Corporation; Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. and its subsidiaries Nissan Chemical America Corporation and Nissan Chemical Houston Corporation; NOVA Chemicals Corporation; Olin Corporation; Omnova Solutions Inc.; PolyOne Corporation; A. Schulman, Inc.; Stepan Company; and Syntex AgriBusiness, Inc. (Settlors). The CO & A's address the investigation and removal of hazardous substances that were left on the Bottle House Site (Site) by the Settlors. The Settlors will reimburse the Department their portion of the costs incurred to perform the site investigation/response activities at the Site.
The Site is located at 401--451 North Front Street, Allentown, Lehigh County and consists of a large three-story brick building that was the former bottling house for the Neuweiler Brewery. Brewery operations ceased at this site in the late 1960's. The Site then became an industrial property being utilized as a warehouse and manufacturing facility, which is surrounded on three sides by family residences and by a community recreational area on the fourth side. The operations resulted in large quantities of hazardous substances and or contaminants being stored in the building. The Department alleges that the Settlors sent nominal amounts of hazardous substances and/or contaminants to the Site. The Department initiated a prompt interim response action under the HSCA on September 27, 1999. The objective of this prompt interim response action was to eliminate the immediate threat to human health and safety and the environment posed by the hazardous substances and/or contaminants that were present on the site. The response was completed on April 28, 2000, at a cost of $1,563,183.46.
The settlements proposed in each of the CO & A's referenced above would resolve certain potential claims of the Department solely against the Settlors, for future enforcement and reimbursement of response costs incurred by the Department in addressing the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. The claims originated under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The proposed settlements would require the Settlors to pay the Department the amounts listed below for their portion of the response costs.
Settlor Amount BASF Corporation $ 57,449.00 ConocoPhillips Company $ 13,867.00 E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Company $ 13,867.00 Georgia Gulf Corporation $ 10,908.00 Graver Technologies $ 15,848.00 Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. $ 19,810.00 Lyondell Chemical Company $ 15,848.00 Merck & Co., Inc. $ 9,905.00 Pharmacia Corporation $ 21,791.00 Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. $ 55,468.00 NOVA Chemicals Corporation $ 3,962.00 Olin Corporation $ 9,905.00 Omnova Solutions, Inc. $ 57,449.00 PolyOne Corporation $ 79,240.00 A. Schulman, Inc. $ 13,867.00 Stepan Company $ 25,753.00 Syntex AgriBusiness, Inc. $ 13,867.00 The specific terms of the settlements are set forth in the CO & A's between the Department and the Settlors, which is available for public review and comment. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO & A's for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO & A's if the comments concerning the CO & A's disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO & A's are inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with the Settlors shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies the Settlors, in writing, that the CO & A's are final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO & A's, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the CO & A's are available for inspection at the Department's Northeast Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Karen Unruh, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711. Further information may be obtained by contacting Karen Unruh at (570) 826-2511. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.
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. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports 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.
The Department has received the following plans and reports:

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears.

Hoist Boat Operations
while Dredging Adjacent to the Residents
of the River Forest CommunityBest Practices to Minimize Noise Levels The following are Best Practices to minimize noise levels from Hoist Boat Operations while dredging adjacent to the residents of the River Forest community (Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County).
In general, these Best Practices shall be followed during normal river flow conditions, which are the vast majority of the time. However, all of these Best Practices are subject to weather and river flow conditions, since the safety of our workers, the public and the equipment are of utmost importance and take precedence over the need to temporarily minimize noise. Hanson stresses marine safety above all other aspects. Weather and river conditions are subject to quickly changing conditions, for example, fog which reduces visibility, high water and high river flow conditions which greatly effect barge and towboat movements, and the like.
Best Practices to Minimize Noise Levels
1. New 'hospital grade' mufflers have been installed on the Hoist Boat, the tender boat and the towboat. It is important to maintain these mufflers in good working condition, to minimize noise levels.
2. A rebuilt clam-shell dredge bucket has been installed on the Hoist Boat. It is important to maintain this bucket in good working condition, to minimize noise impacts.
3. Instruct Hoist Boat operators and crew members to conduct the dredging operations in such a fashion as to limit impact noises. These include:
Minimizing steel to steel noise impacts, and
Minimize the drop height of aggregate from the bucket to the barge.
4. Maintain mooring devices (that is, bumpers and/or fenders) on the sides of the Hoist Boat, to minimize steel to steel noise impacts.
5. While traveling between the shoreline and the Hoist Boat in the tender boat, the tender boat shall that the route that is farthest away from the residents. This is subject to safety concerns.
6. While performing maintenance activities, limit loud intermittent and constant noises, as much as practical. This is subject to safety concerns.
7. While approaching and departing from the Hoist Boat and while making barge switches, the towboat pilot shall limit full engine noise (that is, throttle), as much as possible, to minimize noise levels. This is subject to safety concerns.
8. Barge movements shall be made away from the residents, as much as possible when the situation allows, to minimize noise levels. This is subject to safety concerns.
9. Keep engine compartment doors closed on the towboat, to minimize noise levels. This is subject to air cooling concerns associated with the efficient and safe operations of the engines.
10. Keep audio conversations (that is, loudspeakers) to the minimum allowable to be heard by the intended worker. This is subject to the applicable rules and regulations and safety concerns of the workers.
