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.

Harrisburg, PA 17106Permit to Construct Issued July 26, 2002 HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Notice of Proposed Interim Response East Tenth Street Site, Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware 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 East Tenth Street Site (Site), Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware County, PA.
The Site is located on the Marcus Hook 7.5 Minute Series Quadrangle (Latitude 39 49` 10"; Longitude 75 24` 44" W). The Site is approximately 36 acres in size and lies about 600 yards northwest of the Delaware River. The Site is bordered on the northeast, east and southeast by oil refineries operated by Tosco (formerly the B. P. Refinery) and Sun Oil Co. Mixed commercial/residential properties are located across East 10th Street northwest of the Site. Additional residential areas including the Marcus Hook Elementary School are west and southwest of the Site.
The Department initiated a HSCA response at the Site under a Response Justification Document dated March 24, 1998. The Department conducted a prompt interim response to remove hazardous wastes and materials from a garage building on the Site during the summer of 2000. The Department is involved in an ongoing investigation of Site conditions. This investigation has produced evidence of particular areas where there are hazards to public health and the environment that should be addressed before the completion of Site activities.
The Department considered taking no action and the use of institutional or engineering controls as alternative means of addressing these hazards to the public health and the environment before selecting the proposed interim response. The proposed interim response will address removal of contaminated soils and materials from several lots on the Site where investigation has found exceedances of the Statewide Health Standard promulgated under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning the interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Individuals interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937 to arrange for an appointment.
An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Marcus Hook Library, Tenth and Green Streets, Marcus Hook, PA.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of the HSCA for September 26, 2002, at 7 pm in the Council Room, Marcus Hook Borough Hall, Tenth and Green Streets, Marcus Hook, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments regarding this prompt interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling Lynda Rebarchak, Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6219. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the September 26, 2002, meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak to advise how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's interim response action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of the HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment, which shall run from the date of this notice through November 17, 2002. Written comments should be addressed to April Flipse at the previous address.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response Marino Brothers Scrap Yard, Rochester Borough, Beaver County The Department, under the authority of the HSCA, has initiated a prompt interim response at Marino Brothers Scrap Yard (scrap yard), Railroad Street, Rochester Borough, Beaver County. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA.
The scrap yard is located between Railroad Street and the Ohio River in the Borough of Rochester, Beaver County, encompasses approximately 3 acres and is occupied by several buildings that date back to the early 1900s. Beginning in the late 1800s, the property has been used for various industrial purposes. Since the 1960s, the Marino family used the property as a scrap yard. The current owner of the property is the Borough of Rochester.
The Department conducted a site characterization of the scrap yard. The results of this characterization revealed elevated levels of PCBs, antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, thallium and zinc in the surface soils. The levels of the contaminants exceed the Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act. In addition, light nonaqueous phase liquids were found in the shallow groundwater.
The contamination described extends down through the soils to depths below the elevation of the existing storm outflow. This old outflow is partially blocked due to a collapse in several sections of the line. In its present condition, the line has the potential to be a conduit to the Ohio River for contamination from the surrounding soils resulting in a release or a threat of release of hazardous substances from the site. The Borough of Rochester and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)are replacing this stormwater line with a new line in a different location. This will require excavation and removal of contaminated material so that a new stormwater pipe can be installed.
This response specifically addressed the threats to human health and the environment as they relate to the old stormwater outflow and the installation of a new outflow.
The following alternatives were analyzed:
Alternative 1. No action--This alternative involves no response by the Department to address the threats associated with the old stormwater outflow at the site. Stormwater would continue to be directed to the old outflow, causing backup of the water into the Sewer Authority line. Stormwater that did make its way into the old line would potentially be contaminated with sewage and site related contaminates. This water would continue to be discharged to the Ohio River.
Alternative 2. Excavation and proper handling of contaminated soils associated with the construction of a new stormwater outflow--This alternative involves the excavation of the trench for the installation of the new stormwater outflow through the site. The Department's contractor would work in conjunction with the PennDOT contractor and the Borough of Rochester's contractor to complete the installation of a new line and permanently seal the old outflow line. Specifically, the Department's contractor will be responsible for excavating the contaminated soils required to install the new line at the elevations spelled out in Rochester Borough's design specifications. Contaminated soils will be properly staged onsite and handled in accordance with waste management regulations.
The Department has determined that Alternative #2 is the most appropriate response to address the threats associated with the existing stormwater outflow pipe at the Marino site. This alternative is more protective of human health and the environment than Alternative #1 and is cost effective. The Department mobilized its contractor on June 7, 2002, and, working with the Borough of Rochester's contractor, has completed excavation work and placement of the new stormwater pipe. Contaminated material from the excavation has been staged onsite and will be properly disposed of off-site when arrangements are made with a disposal facility.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the 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 of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA and is available for review Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comments from August. 17, 2002, until November 17, 2002. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by delivering or sending them to Terry Goodwald, Department of Environmental Protection, 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 for September 19, 2002, at 7 p.m. in the Rochester Borough Building, 300 West Park Street, Rochester, PA, Beaver County. Persons wishing to present comments must register by September 16, 2002, with Betsy Mallison, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4182.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4182 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 Banning Mine #4 Site, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County The Department, under the authority of the HSCA, has initiated a prompt interim response at Banning Mine #4 (Site), Budds Ferry Road, Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA.
The Site is located at the end of Budds Ferry Road in Rostraver Township, Westmoreland County, PA. The Site consists of a former coal washing plant and refuse disposal pile. At least six underground storage tanks are located at the Site. An unknown quantity of fuel oil has been released to the environment from one of the tanks. The released product has traveled from the Site into a drainage channel along a former old railroad bed that now serves as a public hiking/biking trail. The drainage ditch discharges into a mine drainage treatment plant or directly to the Youghiogheny River.
The Department began an emergency response at the Site on May 26, 2002, to address the imminent threat to the public health and the environment. The Department constructed a siphon dam along the drainage ditch to prevent the oil from reaching the treatment plant or the Youghiogheny River. Absorbent booms and pads were placed along the drainage ditch to remove the accumulated oily substance. Two underground storage tanks were located near the oil observed on the surface of the Site. One tank was determined to contain approximately 20,000 gallons of what appeared to be #6 fuel oil and water and the second tank contained approximately 2,000 gallons of what appeared to be kerosene and water. Approximately 18,000 gallons of material was removed from the #6 fuel oil tank. Visible contaminated soil at the Site was excavated and placed into roll-off boxes. The removed liquid and excavated soil will be disposed at an appropriate facility.
The current site conditions continue to present a substantial danger to the public health and the environment. Released hazardous substances remain in the drainage ditch along the public hiking/biking trail. There is a direct contact threat with the hazardous substances present in the drainage ditch due to the proximity to the trail. There remains a threat to surface waters from the released material. There remains a risk of contaminating Site groundwater from the released material at the Site and the material accumulated in the drainage ditch. There remains a direct contact threat to the hazardous substances contained in the tanks at the Site, as the Site is unsecured. A further release of hazardous materials is possible from the two underground storage tanks that have not been completely emptied and properly closed. There remains a fire threat due to the ignitable chemicals remaining onsite.
The Department considered several alternatives at the Site, including: no action, securing of the site and removal and disposal of the released hazardous substances at the Site. The Department determined that removal and disposal of the hazardous substances 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 began a prompt interim response to remove and dispose of the waste at the Site on June 11, 2002. All hazardous materials at the Site will be 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 the 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, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 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 August 17, 2002, until November 17, 2002. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending 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 September 18, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Belle Vernon Area High School, 250 Crest Avenue, Belle Vernon, PA. Persons wishing to present comments must register before September 18, 2002, with Betsy Mallison, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4182. If no person registers to present oral comments, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered and if the hearing will be held should contact Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4182.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Settlement Agreement under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Furlong Manufacturing Company, Furlong, Bucks County The Department, under the authority of the HSCA, among other statutes, has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Calvin and Ida Beierlein related to the Furlong Manufacturing Company HSCA Site (Site) in Furlong, Bucks County, PA.
Under the terms of the Consent Order and Agreement, the Beierleins will make a payment towards the Department's response costs at the Site in exchange for a covenant not to sue and contribution protection from the Department.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, Administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Act. Plans and reports required by provisions of the Act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.
