HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1998
Notice of Reopening of the Administrative Record

Furlong Manufacturing Company Site
Doylestown and Buckingham Townships, Bucks County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is proposing an interim response at the Furlong Manufacturing Site.

   The Furlong Manufacturing Site is located at York Road and Rodgers Road in Doylestown and Buckingham Townships, Bucks County. The site consists of the former facility of Furlong Manufacturing, Inc. (Furlong Manufacturing or Site), and contaminated soil and groundwater resulting from Furlong Manufacturing's operations at this facility.

   The Department has determined the following: Furlong Manufacturing is no longer in business. The current tenant of the site, Furlong Lamp and Lighting, is an related company with different owners.

   A further investigation of the Site by the Department's Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program (HSCP) identified approximately 2,000 cubic yards of soil contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in excess of Statewide cleanup standards promulgated under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2 of 1995). The standards exceeded are those based on potential impact on groundwater that is used as a supply of potable water. The HSCP investigation also identified a number of VOC-contaminated residential wells nearby, with the Furlong Manufacturing soil the only known source. The Department installed and sampled groundwater monitoring wells on the Site. Analytical data indicates VOCs contaminate onsite groundwater at levels higher than nearby off-site wells. To date, five nearby private water supply wells have exceeded Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) established by EPA for public water supplies. The Department provided carbon filters previously, and continues to provide filter maintenance for all five private water supply wells. The only known environmental hazard associated with the site is based on exposure to groundwater contaminated with VOCs.

   The Department is considering the following alternatives in response to on-site contaminated soil at Furlong Manufacturing:

   Alternative 1, No Action:  HSCA requires the Department to consider the alternative of taking no action. Under this alternative, no action would be taken to prevent continued leaching of contaminants from soil into groundwater. Continued sampling of monitoring wells would be required. This alternative would do nothing to protect public health. Contaminated soil would remain, allowing further releases to groundwater. An aquifer currently used as a source of drinking water would be subject to continuing contamination with hazardous substances leaching from contaminated soil. No estimated cost is associated with Alternative 1, No Action.

   Alternative 2, Excavation and Disposal of Contaminated Soil, Septic Tank and Waste:  Accessible soils contaminated above Statewide Human Health Standards for Soil, established under Act 2 of 1995, would be excavated and disposed of offsite. The cleanup levels exceeded are those established for certain VOCs. Each of the standards exceeded was based on the potential of contaminated soil to leach contaminants into groundwater in a leachate concentration exceeding a health-based groundwater cleanup standard. The volume of soil to be removed is estimated to be 2,000 cubic yards. The septic tank and its contents are accessible for excavation and the Department anticipates no problem in disposing of the waste. This alternative would be protective of public health in that it would eliminate a source of continuing contamination of an aquifer currently used as a source of private drinking water. The estimated cost of Alternative 2 is $175,000.

   Alternative 3, Excavation and Disposal of Septic Tank and Waste, Treatment of Contaminated Soils by Soil Vapor Extraction:  Soils contaminated above cleanup levels would be treated onsite vapor extraction. The cleanup levels exceeded are those established for certain VOCs. Each of the standards exceeded was based on the potential of contaminated soil to leach contaminants into groundwater in a leachate concentration exceeding a health-based groundwater cleanup standard. The volume of soil to be treated is estimated to be 2,000 cubic yards. The septic tank and its contents are accessible for excavation and the Department anticipates no problem in disposing of the waste. This alternative would be protective of public health in that it would eliminate a source of continuing contamination of an aquifer currently used as a source of drinking water. The estimated cost of Alternative 3 is $1,800,000.

   The Department is proposing Alternative 2. Alternative 1 is not protective of public health or the environment, would require long-term monitoring of area groundwater, and would not meet State and Federal applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs). Alternative 3 would protect public health and the environment, but would be much less cost effective than Alternative 2. The Department finds that Alternative 2 is a permanent, cost-effective response that is feasible and would meet ARARs.

   The Administrative Record which contains the information that forms the basis for, and documents this proposed response action, is available for public review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428-2233. Written comments should be mailed or delivered to David Ewald, Project Officer, at the previous address. To schedule a review of the Administrative Record at the Department office, call David Ewald at [phone] or John Gerdelmann at [phone].

   An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for public review at the Bucks County Library Center, located at 150 South Pine Street, Doylestown, PA. The library's hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday; 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday. Further details can be obtained by calling the library at [phone].

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on May 18, 2001, at the Doylestown Township Municipal Building, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901, [phone]. Persons wishing to present oral comments may register on or before the date of the public hearing by contacting John Gerdelmann, DEP Community Relations Coordinator at [phone].

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing scheduled for May 18, 2001, 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] (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under HSCA. The public comment period begins on Saturday, April 21, 2001, and ends on Friday, June 22, 2001.

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--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 below. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified below, 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.

Box 1050, Johnstown, PA 15907-1050 for the construction of three turbines with duct burners as described in the Permittee's August 30, 2000, Plan Approval Application and subsequent supplemental submissions. The proposed facility is to be constructed in Straban Township, Adams County, along Granite Station Road.

   An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at [phone] between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

   The proposed project has a nominal output rating of 900 megawatts of electricity for sale to the local electrical distribution grid. The components of the facility are:

   a)  Three natural gas fired combustion turbines (General Electric 7FB) nominally rated at 182 MW (gross) controlled by dry, low NOx, lean-burn combustion.

   b)  Three supplementary-fired heat recovery steam generators, (HRSG).

   c)  Three natural gas fired duct burners nominally rated at 279 mmBtu/hr, HHV each.

   d)  Three selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems for nitrogen oxides (NOx) control.

Availability of Grants for the Remediation of Waste Tire Piles under the Waste Tire Remediation Grant Program for Municipalities for Fiscal Year 2001/2002

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) hereby announces the availability of grants through the Waste Tire Recycling Act of 1996 (Act 190) for fiscal year 2001/2002 for the remediation of waste tire piles in this Commonwealth. The Waste Tire Remediation Grant Program for Municipalities provides a grant program, funded through the general fund. The grants are limited to only those municipalities having a waste tire pile containing 5,000 or more waste tires.

   Only municipalities are eligible to participate and receive funding. To be considered for a grant, a municipality: 1) must propose to remediate a waste tire pile on the Department's list of priority waste tire piles or piles containing 5,000 or greater waste tires; 2) must not have contributed, in any manner, to the creation of a non-compliant waste tire pile; and 3) must have an identifiable end-use for the remediated waste tires.

   Grant funds are intended for activities directly related to the remediation of waste tire piles (such as employee wages, operation of equipment, transportation, processing costs and the like). Grants may not be used for the purchase of equipment and grant recipients shall use the funds only for those activities approved by the Department.

   All applicants must complete and submit an official two-part application for each proposed tire pile remediation. The Waste Tire Remediation Grant Application Parts A and B includes all the materials and instructions necessary for applying for a grant. Copies of these documents are available by contacting the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste at [phone], or may be obtained electronically from the Department's Internet site at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us (type ''tires'' in directLINK).

BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY

Request for Variance

   The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS), has received a request for variance from Eighty Four Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling [phone], or from the BDMS website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

   The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to: Richard E. Stickler, Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401

   Section 702 of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (Act) (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the Act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.

   Section 228(a) of the Act, states that ''No person shall enter the mine until the mine examiners return to the mine office on the surface, or to a station located in the intake entry of the mine (where a record book as provided for in this section shall be kept in a fire-proof vault and signed by the person making the examination), and report to the mine foreman or the assistant mine foreman, by telephone or otherwise, and a written report made thereof by the person receiving the report, that the mine is in safe condition for the men to enter. When a station is located in any mine, it shall be the duty of the mine examiners to sign also the report entered in the record book in the mine office on the surface.''

   Summary of the Request: Eighty Four Mining Company requests a variance to allow Mine 84 to maintain two records of each examination that is called out to a portal the examiner is not exiting from. One record will be maintained as called out at one portal and a second matching record signed by the certified examiner and maintained where they exit the coal mine. This request is only for completed records for persons called out to one portal and exiting at a second portal.

Approval of Request for Variance

   The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Rosebud Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (Act) (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) at the Twin Rocks Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling [phone] or from the BDMS website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

   Summary of the Request:  Rosebud Mining Company requested a variance from section 242(c) of the Act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Twin Rocks Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 242(c).

   The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:

   1.  Twin Rock's plan provides for an advanced fire detection and control system consisting of carbon monoxide (CO) monitors, thermal detectors, and a fire suppression system.

   2.  Twin Rock's plan provides a separate intake escapeway that will be isolated from the belt conveyor entries. The isolated intake escapeway will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.

   3.  Twin Rock's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.

   4.  There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Safer access is provided to workers performing repair and maintenance work in the belt entry. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.

   This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in section 242(c) of the Act requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) shall remain in effect. This approval applies to all areas developed after May 20, 1998. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Twin Rock's plan and the following conditions:

   1.  Operation, maintenance and calibration of the Model LTPA-98 Point CO Monitor System shall comply with the manufacturer's specifications and DEP equipment approval number BOTE 1712-98.

   2.  At all times, Rosebud Mining Company shall comply with the requirements of the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) approved Fire Fighting and Evacuation Plan.

   3.  Notification of DEP District Mine Inspector when the point CO monitor system has been installed.
