    HAZARDOUS SITES
    CLEAN-UP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Hanover Scrap Quarry
    Conewago Township, Adams County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) (HSCA) is initiating an interim response at the Hanover Scrap Quarry Site in Conewago Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania.

       Hanover Scrap Quarry is a 5-acre site located along Narrow Drive 1/2 mile from Route 194 near the village of Mount Pleasant. The site is situated in a rural area that is predominately residential and agricultural. The former quarry occupies 1 acre of the site.

       The site operated as a quarry during the 1940s and later was used as an unregulated dumping area for industrial and municipal wastes until the 1970s when the pit was completely filled. In 1987 homes using wells with contaminated groundwater were provided public water by the estate of the property owner (Estate). The quarry was determined to be the source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which contaminated the groundwater. In 1992, the Estate, under a Consent Decree and Order with DEP removed 200 abandoned drums of waste from the site. Sampling by DEP in 1993 showed metals contamination of site soils to be above health based risk levels.

       DEP determined that an interim response is necessary to protect the public health and safety. Two alternatives were considered:

       *  No action, which would allow contaminated soils to remain in place.

       *  The removal of soils above health based risk levels and arranging for the treatment and/or disposal of these soils at a permitted facility.

       DEP determined that the no action alternative would not be protective of human health and the environment since the risk of contact with contaminated soils would remain.

       DEP 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 DEP'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 DEP's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Hanover Public Library, 2 Library Place, Hanover, PA during normal operating hours.

       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 DEP before September 25, 1998, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at the DEP office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.

       The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 1998, at 7 p.m. at the Hanover Borough Office Building, 44 Frederick Avenue, Hanover, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., July 24, 1998, by calling Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 705-4703.

       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 Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 705-4703 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how DEP may accommodate their needs.

The Borough of Jamestown purchased the Jamestown Water Company on November 1, 1971. The potable water supply from the spring source serves the Borough of Jamestown, Mercer County.
