HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response
Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Covington Township
Lackawanna CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) initiated a Prompt Interim Response (response) at the Winship Road Drum Site (Site). The Site is located along a private roadway off of Winship Road near Route 307, in Covington Township, Lackawanna County. It is located directly adjacent to a commercial property as well as several residences. A small stream runs along the eastern edge of the Site into a wetland approximately 200 feet south of the Site.
On February 26, 1995, Department personnel inspected the Site subsequent to a citizen reporting that several drums of unknown material were discovered during excavation of a drainage culvert. During the Department's inspection six exposed or partially exposed drums were noted. Upon further investigation of the area where the six drums were found, the Department discovered the probable presence of additional buried drums using metal detection instrumentation. The Department determined that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, and therefore, initiated a response at the Site on February 28, 1996. The prompt interim response chosen by the Department (Prompt Interim Response #1) consisted of excavation of drums, repackaging, chemical analysis, temporary storage, and final disposal at an approved facility. A total of 56 drums, as well as 1 small container, were unearthed and subsequently disposed of. The Department provided public notice of Prompt Interim Response #1 in the March 23, 1996 editions of the Pennsylvania Bulletin and the Scranton Times newspaper.
On November 20, 1996, the Department conducted metal detector and ground penetrating radar surveys in additional areas of the Site. The surveys resulted in the delineation of additional areas of suspected drum burial. On April 27, 1997, the Department completed an investigation which resulted in the unearthing of 19 drums at the Site. The material in the drums was determined to be a hazardous waste and contained the hazardous substances trichloroethylene and lead. On July 17, 1997, after determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department undertook a Prompt Interim Response (Prompt Interim Response #2) at the Site. The Prompt Interim Response involved the disposal, at an approved hazardous waste disposal facility, of the drums which were unearthed during the April 27, 1997 investigation. The Department also considered taking no action at the Site. This option was rejected due to the substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment.
The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the Site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Written comments concerning Prompt Interim Response #2 or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before November 14, 1997, to the attention of Leonard Zelinka, Project Officer--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 1997, at 7 p.m. at the Covington Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before September 24, 1997, by calling Leonard Zelinka at (717) 826-5441. If no person registers to present oral comments by September 24, 1997, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Leonard Zelinka.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90 day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under that act. Questions concerning the Site may be directed to Leonard Zelinka at (717) 826-5441, or Michael Ferrence, Assistant Counsel, at (717) 826-2519.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing referenced above and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Leonard Zelinka directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
