Notice of Prompt Interim Response Seneca Drum Site
Cranberry Township, Venango CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has conducted a response action for the Seneca Drum Site (site). The site is located in Cranberry Township, Venango County, PA, at the end of Quaker Drive, near Route 257, in Seneca, Venango County, PA. The site is located in a commercial/industrial area and transected by a public water supply line. During repair operations of the public water supply line, leaking drums and waste were discovered buried near the supply line. At the time of the response, the drums and waste excavated during the repair were staged near the pit created by the water line repair. The drums and associated soils mixed with spilled waste contain hazardous substances; including acetone, toluene and xylene have leaked into the surrounding soil and threaten release to site groundwater.
For this prompt interim response, the Department considered three alternatives for the site: 1) no action; and 2) remove the visible wastes, impacted soils and drums in the vicinity of the pit area, along with previously excavated wastes impacted soils and drums; and 3) removal of the previously excavated waste, drums and impacted soils and delineation of all remaining buried drums and waste, followed by excavation and removal.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative.
Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.
Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response for the site. This alternative was selected because it would, in the more cost-effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Telephone before hand for an appointment (814) 332-6648.
The administrative record will be open for comment from August 2, 2008, until October 31, 2008. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James W. Weaver, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. Persons wishing to present comments must register with James Weaver at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before August 18, 2008, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact James Weaver. If no one registers to present oral comments before August 18, 2008, the public meeting will not be held.
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 James Weaver at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
