Proposed Revisions to the State Implementation Plan for 1990 Emission Inventory; Public Hearing
DEP proposes to amend the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) by modifying the emission inventory of Rockwell Heavy Vehicles, Inc., New Castle Forge Plant, Lawrence County, New Castle, PA. The emission inventory is for 1990, which is considered a base year since all future reductions mandated by the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments are based on that year's inventory.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations or add new requirements. The proposed inventory, if finally approved, will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held at 1 p.m., Wednesday, June 18, 1997, at the Department of Environmental Protection Northwest Regional Office, 1st Floor Conference Room, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3407.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304)
Delta Truck Body Company, Inc.
Perry Township, Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is initiating a prompt interim action to provide carbon treatment units for two residential well water supplies in the vicinity of Delta Truck Company, Inc. (Delta Site). These well supplies have contamination above health-based risk levels that is attributable to groundwater contamination at the Delta Site.
The Delta Site is an 11-acre parcel of land in Perry Township, Berks County, adjacent to Route 61 (US 122) just north of Mohrsville and Birch Hills Roads. The surrounding area is a mixture of residential, industrial and commercial development. Two private well water supplies located west and downgradient of the Delta Site have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the Delta Site.
Historically the Delta Site has housed businesses engaged in the fabrication and painting of auto truck bodies. Delta Truck Company, Inc. (Delta) operated at this location from 1959 to 1993 under various corporate names. Delta filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy which was converted to Chapter 7 bankruptcy on October 10, 1990. Site operations closed on September 27, 1993.
Previous actions at the Delta Site removed drummed hazardous wastes and contaminated soils, and three groundwater monitoring wells were installed. Sampling of the monitoring wells revealed contamination of the groundwater with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA). 1,1,1-TCA is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that has toxic properties and is a hazardous substance as defined in the HSCA.
Because concentrations of 1,1,1-TCA are present in two offsite downgradient residential wells above the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 200 parts per billion (ppb), the Department has conducted a prompt interim response to provide water treatment on each of the contaminated residential wells. This action will be protective of human health from the exposure to 1,1,1-TCA through ingestion and inhalation.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] The Department considered two alternatives: 1) no action; 2) equipping the impacted water supplies with point-of-entry carbon treatment systems. The Department prefers the second alternative which is protective of human health.
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)). The publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record that contains information about this site and which supprots the Department's decision to perform this action at the Delta Site is available for public review and comment. The administrative record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Reading District Office at 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605, by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100. The administrative record can also be examined at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4125.
The administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before September 15, 1997, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at the above 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 July 16, 1997 at 7 p.m. at the Perry Township Municipal Building, 681 Moselem Spring Road, Shoemakersville, PA 19555. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing should register before 4 p.m. July 11, 1997 by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 541-7969. If no person registers to present oral comments, by July 11, 1997, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the same number above.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Sandra Roderick at the above number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION Under Act 2, 1995 Preamble 3 The following final report was 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 (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 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.
For further information concerning the final report, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears.

The West Cornwall Township Supervisors opposes issuance of this permit because of the potential impacts to water resources in the township.
The agricultural utilization of sewage sludge on this farm will not contribute to groundwater problems for the following reasons: the use of biosolids as a fertilizer must be conducted in accordance with agricultural best management practices, such as nutrient management plans and soil erosion and sedimentation control plans. Minimum isolation distances to wells, streams and homes must be maintained. Additionally the application rates can only be a quantity sufficient to meet the nutrient needs of the crops grown. Therefore, these sites will be managed in a manner which will protect groundwater and surface water resources. In consideration of the above the Department has issued this permit.
