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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Permit to Operate Issued April 11, 2006 HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Prompt Interim Response Berkley Products Company Plant Site,
West Earl Township and Akron Borough,
Lancaster County, PA.The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Berkley Products Company Plant Site (Berkley), 405 South 7th Street, Akron, PA 17501. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020-505(b)).
Berkley is located at 405 South 7th Street in West Earl Township and is bordered by the Borough of Akron, Lancaster County. The approximately 2.5-acre facility is located on a hillside sloping from South 7th Street at the front to South 9th Street at the rear. Residential properties surround most of the site, but a few commercial properties are also present. The site can be found on the United States Geological Survey Ephrata, PA, quadrangle map at north 40° 14` 01" latitude and west 76° 12` 33" longitude.
Berkley is an operating facility producing customized coatings and has manufactured coatings at the facility since 1955. During most of their operation, solvents were used as drying agents in the coatings and for cleaning the manufacturing equipment. At some point, Berkley began reprocessing their solvent waste for reuse in the manufacturing process. Beginning in 1974, Berkley began accepting solvent waste for reprocessing and reuse. In 1980, Berkley submitted a Part A Application for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Interim Status as a treatment and storage facility. By then Berkley was blending waste for cement kiln fuel and consolidating waste for shipment to various disposal facilities. The waste streams included toluene, trichloroethene (TCE), other individual solvents and chemicals and solvent and chemical mixtures. The facility is in the RCRA Corrective Action Program but is financially unable to address environmental problems. Soil, groundwater and surface water contamination have been identified. Although the area is served by a public water supply, the groundwater contamination plume extends beneath neighboring residences presenting a VOC groundwater-to-indoor-air (vapor intrusion) threat.
The Department considered three alternatives:
1) Institutional controls, no action for the indoor air Medium Specific Concentration (MSC) VOC exceedances in residential homes affected by vapor intrusion emanating from the Berkley Plant.
2) Install air mitigation systems in the residential homes affected by vapor intrusion emanating from the Berkley Company Plant Site. The basement walls and floors of the homes would also be sealed to prevent vapor intrusion. Postinstallation indoor air sampling would be conducted to verify the effectiveness of the systems and sealing work. The Department will cover all the costs associated with the installation and testing of the systems. However, thereafter each homeowner will be responsible for the electric costs to operate the system.
3) Treat the contaminated groundwater plume to mitigate the levels of VOC contaminants emanating from the Berkley Plant. This would entail a long-term remedial action as in-situ chemical treatment or construction of an onsite pump and treatment system. This option would be time and cost intensive. Residential exposure threats would continue during the period of time that in-situ treatment or operation of the pump and treatment system removes the VOCs from the groundwater to the degree needed to mitigate vapor intrusion threats.
The Department has determined that prompt action is required to protect the public health and safety and the environment and has consequently chosen Alternative 2. This prompt interim action is not intended to be the final remedy for the Berkley site.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting David Hrobuchak at (717) 705-4843. The Administrative Record may also be reviewed at the Akron Borough Municipal Office, 117 South Seventh Street, Akron, PA 17501 by calling (717) 859-1600.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment beginning April 22, 2006, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before July 24, 2006, by mailing them to David Hrobuchak at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for June 7, 2006, at 7 p.m. at the Mennonite Central Committee Welcoming Place, 21 South 12th Street, Akron, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., June 2, 2006, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.
If no person registers to present oral comments by June 2, 2006, the hearing will not be held but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.
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 call Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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.
