HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Proposed Response under Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program Schiller Site
Richmond Township, Crawford CountyThis notice of Proposed Response is being issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to describe the proposed remedial and prompt interim response actions at the Schiller Site (site), under section 506 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.506).
The site is located in Richmond Township, Crawford County, PA. The site consists of a 147 acre property, owned by Frank J. Schiller, and adjacent groundwater, surface water and sediments that are contaminated with hazardous substances. Frank Schiller owned and operated the Presque Isle Chemical Company at the site from approximately 1970 to 1980. The Presque Isle Chemical Company's and Frank Schiller's actions have contaminated the groundwater, surface and subsurface soils, surface water, sediments and fish with hazardous substances.
The Department has divided the site into two operable units, and it has considered response alternatives for each operable unit. Operable unit 1 (OU-1) consists of the contaminated surface soils, subsurface soils, wastes, surface water and sediments at the site. Operable unit (OU-2) consists of the contaminated groundwater at the site, including some contaminated private home wells.
Potential risks to human health have been identified for surface soil, subsurface soil, surface water, sediments and deep bedrock groundwater. These risks include direct (dermal) contact with, or incidental ingestion of, soil and sediments and ingestion of bedrock groundwater through drinking. Hazardous substances at the site may also pose a threat to plants and animals through exposure to contaminated surface soils, surface water and sediments.
Past investigations show that the following substances have contaminated the site: trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, 1,2-dichloroethene, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, vinyl chloride, butylbenzyl phthalate, barium, chromium, lead and nickel. These substances are ''hazardous substances'' as defined under section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103).
The concentrations of these hazardous substances at the site pose an unacceptable risk to human health and the environment. To reduce or eliminate the threat to human health and the environment from the contaminated soils, surface water, sediments and groundwater, the Department proposes that a remedial response action be conducted at the site.
The Department considered the following six remedial response action alternatives for OU-1:
Alternative 1--No action/institutional controls;
Alternative 2--Onsite containment of contaminated materials with a multi-layer cap;
Alternative 3--Offsite disposal of soils contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and inorganics;
Alternative 4--Excavation and offsite treatment/disposal of inorganic contaminated soils and onsite treatment of VOC-contaminated soils via:
4C--Low temperature thermal desorption, or
4D--Excavation and treatment via soil vapor extraction;
Alternative 5--In-situ remediation of VOC contaminated soils using a mobile injection treatment unit and offsite treatment/disposal of inorganic contaminated soils;
Alternative 6--In-situ remediation of VOC contaminated soils using hydraulic fracturing/soil vapor extraction and offsite treatment/disposal of inorganic contaminated soils.
The Department considered the following four response action alternatives for OU-2:
Alternative 1--No action;
Alternative 2--Provide bottled water to the affected residential and business wells;
Alternative 3--Install water treatment units on affected residential or business wells;
Alternative 4--Restoration of the groundwater to Maximum Contaminant Levels.
The Department compared the six remedial response action alternatives in OU-1 using the evaluation criteria discussed below.
Section 106 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Land Recycling Act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.909) requires that the cleanup standards established under that act be used for any remedial response action conducted under the provisions of HSCA.
Additionally, the Department has considered the following factors in evaluating alternative remedial response actions for the site: long-term risks and effectiveness; reduction of toxicity, mobility or volume of hazardous substances; short-term effectiveness; implementability; cost; and cost-benefit analysis. These evaluation criteria are derived from section 304(j) of the Land Recycling Act.
Finally, in addition to the evaluation criteria in section 304(j) of the Land Recycling Act, the Department also has considered two other evaluation criteria: the ability of a response to meet applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs) and public acceptance of the proposed response. Section 504(a) of HSCA requires that final remedial response actions under HSCA shall meet all ARARs under the circumstances presented by the release. In addition, section 506 of HSCA requires the Department to solicit and respond to public comments regarding proposed responses.
Based on an analysis using the above criteria, and under section 505(a) of HSCA, the Department proposes to implement remedial Alternative 4C, 4D or 5 as the remedial response action for OU-1 at the Site. The proposed remediation of OU-1 would include the offsite disposal of the remaining barn debris and barn foundation material; excavation and offsite treatment and disposal of remaining onsite waste/junk piles and areas contaminated with inorganic hazardous substances; onsite treatment of VOC source areas; procurement of deed restrictions to limit intrusive activities at the site; monitoring of groundwater, surface water and sediment; and periodic site reviews. Under the Alternative, the Department would choose the treatment technology for the VOC source areas among Alternatives 4C, 4D or 5 based on the lowest cost bid to remediate the site.
The Department also analyzed the four response action alternatives in OU-2 using the same evaluation criteria listed above. Based on that analysis, and under section 505(a) of HSCA, the Department proposes implementing Alternative 3 as a prompt interim response action, with a contingency of implementing Alternative 4 as a remedial action for OU-2 at the site should Alternative 3 not reduce the risks to human health and the environment. The proposed interim response action would consist of the installation of a water treatment unit on home and business wells which are now, or which in the future become, contaminated by site-related hazardous substances. The water treatment units would be carbon treatment units and would be maintained as part of the response action.
The Department does not propose to actively remediate the contaminated groundwater, except as a possible future contingency, because: the remediation of OU-1 will significantly reduce the ongoing release of hazardous substances to the groundwater and surface water; and natural attenuation will reduce the concentrations of hazardous substances in the groundwater over time and with distance from the source areas without the need for any active groundwater remediation.
However, if post-remediation groundwater monitoring indicates that the Department's assumptions are incorrect (that is, that natural attenuation is not occurring or environmental risks increase), then the remediation of OU-2 would involve the continued treatment of home and business wells described above, plus the collection and treatment of contaminated site groundwater as described in Alternative 4 for OU-2.
The proposed remedial response action for OU-1 and OU-2, would protect public health and the environment; comply with ARARs; be feasible and implementable, treat hazardous substances to the maximum extent practicable; and be cost effective.
An Administrative Record which contains more detailed information concerning the proposed response actions is available for public inspection and copying. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Telephone beforehand for an appointment (telephone: (814) 332-6848).
A public meeting has been scheduled for May 22, 1997, beginning at 7 p.m. at the old Richmond Township Municipal Building, located at 30031 State Highway 408, Richmond Township, Crawford County, PA. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding these proposed responses may do so by registering with the Department before the hearing. People may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Steve Curcio, at (814) 332-6945.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the meeting scheduled for May 22, 1997, and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Steve Curcio, at the telephone number listed above, to discuss how the Department may best accommodate their needs. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Pennsylvania Relay Center at 1(800) 654-5984.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed remedial response action during the period for public comment, which runs for 90 days from the publication date of this Notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Written comments should be addressed to Edward F. Orris, Project Manager, at the Department's Meadville, PA office at the address listed above.
Priority List of Hazardous Sites For Remedial Response
1. Background
The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) was enacted in 1988 to provide for the cleanup of Pennsylvania sites that are releasing or threatening the release of hazardous substances. Section 502(a) of HSCA requires that the Department publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a priority list of sites with releases or threatened releases for the purpose of taking remedial response. This list is called the Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites For Remedial Response (PAPL). The Department places sites on the PAPL when the Department has determined through investigation that there are releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or releases or substantial threatened releases of contaminants which present a substantial danger. In accordance with the requirements of section 502(a) of HSCA, the Hazard Ranking System, (HRS; 40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A), established under the Federal Superfund Act, as amended, is utilized to rank the sites for placement on the PAPL. The HRS uses mathematical formulas that reflect the relative importance and interrelationships of the various human health and environmental factors to arrive at a final score on a scale of 0 to 100. The values are assigned using information obtained from site investigations. Section 502(a) of HSCA also directs the Department to consider its administrative, enforcement and financial capabilities when placing sites on the PAPL. The proposed listing notice is issued under HSCA section 502(c). The HRS was created by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and appears at 40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A in accordance with the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
2. Summary and Purpose
Placement of a site on the PAPL is used to identify sites which require a remedial response to address threats to the public health, safety or the environment. The Department will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take enforcement or other actions under HSCA or other authorities, or to proceed directly with HSCA-funded remedial response actions and seek cost recovery after the cleanup. Remedial response actions will not necessarily be taken in the same order as a site's ranking on the PAPL. The investigation conducted to place a site on the PAPL may not be sufficient to determine either the extent of contamination or the appropriate response actions for a site. The Department may undertake further investigations to determine appropriate response actions. The length of time needed to complete these studies will vary due to the complexity of a site. The Department may decide not to immediately proceed with a HSCA remedial action or that no remedial action is necessary.
3. Technical Evaluation Grants under Act 108
Under section 501 of HSCA, the Department may make available a reasonable sum as a grant to the governing body of the host municipality of a site where the Department is considering a remedial response. The host municipality shall use this sum solely to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the proposed remedial response. The grant shall not exceed $50,000. Information and a technical evaluation grant package may be obtained from the regional office in which the site is located. Refer to the Additional Information section of this notice.
A municipality will be sent grant information by the Department after a listing announcement has been published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. However, the grant will not be awarded until the proposed remedial response is available for public review. At that time, the municipality will receive the official grant award in order to proceed with the review of the Department's proposed remedial response.

F. Site Summaries
The site summaries for the sites addressed by this notice are listed below:
Schiller
The Shiller site is located in Richmond Township, Crawford County. The site includes a property owned by Frank J. Schiller and adjacent areas that are contaminated. There are residential areas adjacent to the site. Groundwater is the only water supply source in the area of the site. Approximately 100 residents within 1 mile of the site depend on individual wells. Approximately 1400 people live within 3 miles of the site.
Frank Schiller owned and operated the Presque Isle Chemical Company at the site from approximately 1970 to 1980. Operations conducted at the site included spreading industrial wastes onto surface of site. These operations resulted in the release of hazardous substances and contamination of the groundwater. Hazardous substances disposed at the site include chlorinated solvents and heavy metals.
The Department of Environmental Protection conducted an interim response at the site in 1993. Over 350 drums, several storage tanks, a vat containing sludge, and associated visibly contaminated soil were removed as part of this interim response. A water treatment system was also installed on a nearby residential well that was contaminated by the site.
Based on site studies conducted by the Department the soil and groundwater at the site remain contaminated. The Department has calculated an HRS score for the Schiller site of 24.65. Based on these facts, the Department is adding the Schiller site to the PAPL.
Avtex
The Avtex Fibers site is located in Vernon Township, Crawford County. The property is currently the location of several manufacturing facilities. The 170 acre site was formerly a synthetic fibers manufacturing facility which operated from 1929 to 1986. The fibers manufacturing process produced a variety of industrial wastes that were disposed of on the site. The site was contaminated with PCBs, arsenic and other hazardous substances.
In March of 1995 the Department entered into an agreement with former owners of the site wherein they agreed to conduct the remedial response at the site. PCB contaminated soils within 6 inches of the surface and above the site-specific cleanup level were excavated and contained onsite under a synthetic cover. Several of the site's solid waste management units were closed in-place by placing soil covers over those units. A transformer substation contaminated with PCBs, dioxins and furans was demolished and encapsulated onsite with concrete. Land use restrictions were placed on the property to insure that contaminated groundwater is not used for drinking purposes and that no actions are undertaken to disturb the response actions. The response has been completed in accordance with the agreement. Operation and maintenance activities at the site, including cap and fence maintenance, and ongoing groundwater monitoring, will continue to be implemented by the responsible parties. Based on these facts, the Department is removing the Avtex site from the PAPL.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Location: Jackson Township, York County, R. D. 4, Box 4308, Spring Grove, PA 17362.
The approved plan provided for construction of a .4 mgd wastewater treatment facility. Initially, .4 mgd (winter) or .2 mgd (summer) will discharge to the P. H. Glatfelter treatment facility. As flows increase, a total of .28 mgd will be directed to a municipal spray irrigation facility for land application with the remainder directed to the P. H. Glatfelter facility. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Northcentral Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, telephone (717) 327-0530.
Location: Cooper Township, Clearfield County.
Project Description: Approved update calls for the construction of new wastewater collection and treatment facilities to serve approximately 900 developed properties located in four village areas in the township. The $9 million plus project will consist of two separate vacuum collection systems, each served by its own sequencing batch reactor treatment facility. The treatment facility serving the Grassflat area, with a capacity of 120,000 gpd, will discharge treated effluent to an unnamed tributary of Moshannon Creek. The treatment facility serving the villages of Winburne, Lanse and Kylertown, with a capacity of 185,000 gpd, will discharge treated effluent directly to Moshannon Creek.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
Location: Mansfield Borough, Tioga County.
Project Description: The approved update calls for an upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment facility serving the borough, and the eventual expansion of this facility from capacity of 1.0 mgd to 1.3 mgd. The upgrade and expansion will allow the borough to provide for its own wastewater needs through a 20 year planning horizon and will provide for growth and from new service areas in adjoining sections of Richmond Township. Discharge of the treated effluent from the upgraded, expanded treatment facility will continue to be to the Tioga River. The plan also provides for continued storm and sanitary sewer separation work in the borough and a continuation of the borough's efforts to remove inflow and infiltration from its sanitary sewers.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 3 The following final reports were submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection 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 (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final 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 non-residential 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.
For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.

Permit No. 603453. Newton Farm, Ralph Newton (R. R. 2, Box 165A, Wyalusing, PA 18853). Permit for sewage sludge agricultural utilization at a facility located in Terry Township, Bradford County, issued in the regional office on April 1, 1997.
Override Justification:
Issue: Since the township ordinance requires sand mound septic systems, in most instances for onlot systems, it seems completely contradictory to allow haulers to spread more concentrated sewage directly onto the ground.
Override: The regulations and permit conditions require sewage sludge to be applied to lands with a specified depth of acceptable soils. In this way, these sites function exactly the same as onlot systems where contaminants are renovated as they percolate through this soil column. Additionally, in the agricultural utilization process of this land application, nutrients and metals are taken up and utilized by the crop. This further use of potential contaminants does not occur in onlot systems and is an added benefit in this land application program.
Issue: The township supervisors are seriously concerned for the well-being of local wells and those who use them. The supervisors feel that after extended periods of spreading sewage sludge on the same grounds, that there would be some leaching into peoples water sources.
Override: There are many safeguards built into the land application program to assure that groundwater and water sources are not impacted. Set back distances are required from water supply wells, specific soil depth is required to the seasonal high groundwater level and specifically calculated application rates are just a few of the mechanisms required by the regulations and the permit to assure that groundwater is not impacted.
Issue: The township supervisors are concerned about run-off from the land application area and its impact on the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay.
Override: Again, the regulations and permit have many safeguards built into the land application program to prevent run-off from these areas. These include, but are not limited to, set back distances from streams and water conveyance channels, slope restrictions, incorporation requirements and specific application rates. The potential for run-off was recognized and the regulations were written to prevent this occurrence.
