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 §§ 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.

[Continued from previous Web Page] AIR QUALITY 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.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Interim Response Lenape Manufacturing HSCA Site, East Rockhill Township, Bucks County. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing an Interim Response at the Lenape Manufacturing HSCA Site (Site) in East Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, is conducting an investigation of the Site. This investigation includes the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located in the vicinity of the former Lenape Manufacturing facility at 1803 North 5th Street, Perkasie, PA. Approximately 55 wells are contaminated or may potentially become contaminated with detectable levels of Trichloroethene (TCE). Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and breakdown products of TCE were also detected in some of the wells, but TCE is the primary contaminant of concern.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes a response action at the Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department hereby proposes the installation of a waterline, including water mains and lateral connections to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action or the installation and continued monitoring and maintenance of whole-house carbon filtration units and/or supplying bottled water.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Natalie Huff at (484) 250-5722 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the East Rockhill Township Municipal Building at 1622 Ridge Road, Perkasie, PA 18944.
Under section 506(d) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(d)), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on September 15, 2008, at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Bucks County Community College Upper Bucks Campus, 1 Hillendale Road in Perkasie. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this Interim Response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Lynda Rebarchak, at (484) 250-5820.
Any person with a disability who wishes to attend the public hearing and will require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak at the telephone number listed above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed Interim Response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business October 20, 2008. Written comments should be addressed to Natalie Huff, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Natalie Huff at (484) 250 5722.
