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

    PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS

    NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

       The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.

       Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.

       Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts, which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

       Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

    Notice of Proposed Interim Response

    Clements Landfill Site

    Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) is proposing an interim response at the Clements Landfill Site (Site) in Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County, PA.

       The Site is located approximately 1 1/2 miles east of Route 61 and is bordered by Birch Hill Road to the north, Shoemakersville Road to the east, Ontelaunee Drive to the south and Kerns Road extending from the south to the west side of the Site. The entire area surrounding the Site consists of residential and agricultural lands. The Site, an inactive landfill since 1970, is 68.29 acres on which approximately 25 acres are land filled.

       In June 2000, the Department sampled 13 residential wells adjacent to the Site. Three adjacent properties south of the Site, located on a geologic fracture trace running through the land-filled area, have VOC contaminations above regulatory standards. Trichloroethylene levels ranged from 24 micrograms per liter (µg/L) to 73 µg/L, vinyl chloride from 4 µg/L to 27 µg/L and cis-1, 2-Dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE) from 79 to 140 µg/L. The regulatory limits for these VOCs in groundwater are 5 µg/L, 2 µg/L and 70 µg/L respectively. Resampling of the impacted well water supplies confirmed these levels of VOC contamination.

       In February 2001, the Department conducted a prompt interim response action to install point-of-entry water treatment systems in the three homes that were identified as having VOC impacted wells. These homes are sampled semiannually to examine system performance and to monitor regional groundwater conditions. The Department will continue to provide maintenance of these systems and will provide treatment systems for additional residential wells that are determined to exceed primary drinking water standards for substances associated with this site.

       During site characterization activities, an industrial process tank was identified and found to contain residual sludge materials. A sample of the sludge was collected and submitted for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure analysis. The analysis showed that the sludge materials leached chromium at 1,060 mg/L, which exceeds the 5 mg/L standard established for this metal. These results indicate that the residual sludge material is characteristically hazardous based on toxicity.

       The Department proposes an interim response for the Site to conduct the following actions: (1) remove and dispose of the residual sludge materials contained in an onsite industrial process tank and associated contaminated soils; (2) continued monitoring of the groundwater conditions at the Site; and (3) implementation of a deed restriction for the land-filled areas of the Site. These actions are taken to protect the public health or safety or the environment.

       The Department considered two alternatives:  1) no action, which allows the residents to have continued potential exposure to the chromium contaminated sludge material; and 2) sludge removal and proper disposal, groundwater monitoring and deed restriction onland use.

       The Department has chosen to implement Alternative 2. Alternative 2 complies with applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements and is cost effective. This alternative is protective of human health and the environment by eliminating the risk from further contact with hazardous substances at the 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 in the Pennsylvania Bulletin 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 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting Ryan Kostival at (717) 705-4843. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office, 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100.

       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 6, 2002, by mailing them to Ryan Kostival at the previous 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 24, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill Valley Middle School, 114 Ontelaunee Drive, Leesport, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., July 19, 2002, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

       If no person registers to present oral comments by July 19, 2002, 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 contact Sandra Roderick at the previous number. 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 the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

    Notice of Prompt Interim Response

    Smalis Penn Avenue Site

    City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County

       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 Smalis Penn Avenue Site (Site). 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)). The Site is located at 2908 and 2922 Penn Avenue, City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA.

       The Site consisted of a fenced lot containing a large trailer, a box truck and numerous 55-gallon drums. The trailer and the box truck contained 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon containers of paint, paint waste and solvent. The Site contained 79 55-gallon drums and 196 5-gallon containers of waste total. The drums and containers were found to contain hazardous substances.

       The Department conducted an emergency response at the site from March 15, 2001, to March 17, 2001, to address the imminent threat to the public health and the environment. During the response, all drums and containers were removed from the two trailers onsite and from around the Site. Leaking or open drums and containers were placed in steel or plastic over pack containers. Nonleaking drums and containers were placed in one of two lined roll-off boxes.

       A sampling investigation was conducted on August 9, 2001. Samples were collected from 5-gallon containers in the roll off boxes and from 55-gallon drums in the over packed drum staging area. The samples revealed the presence of hazardous substances.

       The Department issued an administrative order to the responsible parties on September 6, 2001. The order required the responsible parties to characterize and dispose of the hazardous materials on the site within 30 days of receipt of the order. The responsible parties have failed to comply with this order.

       The Department considered several alternatives at the Site, including: no action; securing of the site; and disposal of the waste at the Site. The Department determined that disposal of the waste was the appropriate course of action. This alternative was selected because it complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was determined to be the most environmentally sound procedure for this site.

       The Department conducted a prompt interim response to remove and dispose of the waste at the Site from March 20, 2002, to May 9, 2002. All hazardous waste at the Site was removed and properly disposed. The Department, following the public hearing and comment period, will complete a Statement of Decision and Response to Comments.

       This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

       The administrative record will be open for comment from June 9, 2002, until September 9, 2002. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them or delivering them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

       In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Monday, July 8, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Department Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Persons wishing to present comments must register before July 3, 2002, with Patrick Shuster, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4000.
