A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known 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 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 and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought to responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (717) 826-2553.
Rice Township, Luzerne County.
The Department has reviewed the Special Study, dated June 1996 (received by the Department on November 19, 1996), with additional information dated December 4, 1996 (received by the Department on December 6, 1996) and May 15, 1997 (received by the Department on May 15, 1997) as prepared by Milnes Engineering, Inc. on behalf of Rice Township.
During the review of any Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision or Special Study, the Department must consider how various issues are addressed in a submission. In the case of the current Special Study under review for the Prospect Road Area of Rice Township, several issues remain to be adequately addressed.
The major issues remaining to be adequately addressed are:
1. A sanitary survey of the study area, conducted on October 12, 1994 by the Department, indicated additional wastewater disposal problems at the Yermal (147 Prospect Road) and Gerko (129 Prospect Road) residences. Both structures discharged greywater/wastewater to the surface of the ground on the northern portions of each property. The Sewage Enforcement Officer (SEO) for Rice Township confirmed that both discharges do exist. Furthermore, the SEO directed the property owners to eliminate these discharges.
Please verify, through a field inspection of the properties, by the Township's SEO or engineering consultant, that these discharges have been eliminated. Also, re-inspect the onlot wastewater disposal systems on these properties to determine the operational status (operating properly, malfunctioning, and the like) of each of the systems. Specifically, examine the systems for any detrimental effects caused by the re-introduction of greywater sources into the systems. The chart and text of Pages 9 and 10 should be changed to reflect the two identified discharges and how they were/will be corrected. Text should be added to this portion of the Special Study to indicate the conditions of the onlot wastewater disposal systems observed, on the Yermal and Gerko properties, during their re-inspection.
Also, indicate what long-term method of wastewater disposal is being proposed for the following residences:
--Kanaske (street address not known)
--Smolenak (349 Prospect Road)
--Davis (331 Prospect Road)
--Haydt (street address unknown)
--Wolfe (301 Prospect Road)
--Zelinka (295 Prospect Road)Since an existing wastewater conveyance line appears to currently be accessible (within 150' of the dwelling structure located on the property) to several of the previously listed structures, indicate why the structures are not currently connected to the existing wastewater conveyance system. It would appear that Rice Township's mandatory connection ordinance of 1977 would require that at least several of the previously listed structures should already be connected to the existing wastewater conveyance line.
2. The financing proposed and resulting monthly user charges do not appear to be affordable when compared to wastewater collection system projects recently constructed in similar communities in the Department's Northeast Region. The Department realizes that all projects are unique. However, recently completed collection system construction projects, funded by State and Federal financing agencies, have typical user rates in the range of $40 to $55 per month. Project costs slightly above these figures may also be affordable when other factors such as public health and safety, environmental degradation and local household incomes are more closely examined.
The Department does not believe that the Mountaintop Area Joint Sanitary Authority (MAJSA) will be able to successfully collect monthly user fees in excess of $148 as indicated in the Special Study. Therefore, as the current chosen wastewater disposal alternative is described, it is not implementable nor sustainable. Rice Township should re-examine the problems and wastewater disposal system limitations in the study area and develop a substantially more affordable alternative for solving the currently identified and potential future wastewater disposal problems of the Prospect Road Area.
These additional analyses should include both technical and financial alternatives not already examined. Since onlot alternatives have already been ruled out for the majority of the study area, due to physical limitations, they should not be examined further. The Department suggests that Rice Township consider expanding the proposed sewer service area in a proactive effort to prevent future onlot system malfunctions and make the project financially viable. Rice Township should further investigate the availability of other or more innovative financing schemes, such as PENNVEST, Community Development Block Grants, and the like, due to the relatively high cost of the proposed project. Rice Township should again contact the MAJSA to discuss its willingness to explore and utilize other possible financing scenarios for the proposed project. The MAJSA indicated, in its August 12, 1996 correspondence to Rice Township, its apparent willingness to explore other financing options for the proposed project.
In addition to the major issues previously listed, with several other questions/comments, must be adequately addressed by Rice Township before the Department may approve any subsequent Special Study. A complete listing of the remaining issues is available by examining the complete Official Sewage Facilities Plan files for Rice Township. These files are available for review by contacting the Department's Northeast Regional Office, Records Management Unit, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790.
Conclusions
Due to the deficiencies listed above and the lack of a written response from Rice Township to the Department's March 13, 1997 deficiency correspondence, the Department hereby disapproves the Special Study comprised of the submissions listed in the first paragraph of this notice.
Rice Township has a continuing obligation, under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to revise its Official Sewage Facilities Plan to address existing sewage disposal needs in the vicinity of Prospect Road and provide for adequate sewage treatment facilities. Every revision to an Official Sewage Facilities Plan must take into consideration all aspects of planning, zoning, population estimates, engineering and economics so as to delineate, with all practicable precision, those portions of the area in which community sewage systems may reasonably be expected to serve within and after a 10-year period.
The Department requests that Rice Township submit a Special Study to the Department, within 100 days, which has been modified to address the concerns identified in this correspondence. The ''new'' submission should comply with the requirements outlined in section 71.31(a)--(f) of the Department's regulations and all applicable provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations. The new submission should identify all alternatives considered by Rice Township. The Department will work closely with both the Municipal Officials and Engineering Consultant of Rice Township to ensure the development of a Special Study which addresses the current and future wastewater disposal needs of the Prospect Road area in a cost-effective and environmentally sound manner.
If Rice Township does not initiate measures necessary to revise and resubmit a Special Study which addresses the deficiencies identified in this correspondence, the Department shall initiate enforcement measures against Rice Township to compel it to revise its Official Sewage Facilities Plan in accordance with the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
