Proposed Response and Opening of the administrative record under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Little Rio Grande Creek Site
Hulmeville, Bucks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has proposed an interim response at the Little Rio Grande Creek Site. The site is located directly adjacent (upstream) to the Route 513 bridge over the Neshaminy Creek in the Borough of Hulmeville, Bucks County, PA. The site involves a former mill race impoundment that was filled with lead battery and slag wastes high in metals content. The majority of the metals contamination is located on nonresidential property within the floodplain of the Neshaminy Creek. Some contamination extends onto a neighboring residential property. The DEP has determined that releases of hazardous substances (metals) from the site pose a threat to human health and safety and the environment.
In order to eliminate the threat posed by the release of hazardous substances at the site, the Department considered the following alternative responses:
1. No Action
2. Complete Excavation/Off-Site Disposal
3. Partial Excavation/Off-Site Disposal/Institutional Controls
4. Institutional Controls--Capping with Deed Notices
5. Institutional Controls--Fencing with Deed Notices
The Department is proposing alternative no. 3, Partial Excavation/Offsite Disposal/Institutional Controls. This alternative involves partially excavating the contaminated material on the nonresidential property and completely excavating the contaminated material on the adjoining residential property. All excavated materials would be sent offsite to a permitted treatment/disposal facility. Clean fill would replace the excavated material, thus isolating any remaining contamination from human contact. Deed notices would be implemented to place controls on future site excavations and on use of site groundwater.
The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Pennwood Library, Pine and Flowers Avenue, Langhorne, PA, and is available for review during the library's normal hours (Mon., Tues., Wed.--1 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Thurs.--1 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Fri. and Sat.--10 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The administrative record may also be reviewed at the DEP Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Please call Kevin Hess at (610) 832-6194 in order to make an appointment to review the administrative record at the DEP Southeast Regional Office.
Written comments concerning the Department's proposed response and related to information contained in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before December 2, 1996. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Kevin Hess, DEP Project Office, Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-6194.
In addition, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for October 16, 1996, at 7 p.m., at the William Penn Fire Hall, Trenton Ave. and Main St., in Hulmeville, Bucks County. Persons wishing to present oral comments may register on or before the date of the public hearing by contacting Rob Goldberg, DEP Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6010.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing discussed above and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Kevin Hess directly at (610) 832-6194 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The date of publication on this notice in the Pennsyhlvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the Administrative Record, as provided, under that act.
Notice of settlements under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into consent order and agreements (COAs) with Texaco Inc. (Texaco) and Zeb Manufacturing, Inc. (Zeb Mfg.) regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environmental posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
Under the terms of the proposed COAs, Texaco will pay the Department $18,650 and Zeb Mfg. will pay the Department $2,000 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site. The Department considers Texaco and Zeb Mfg. to be de minimis contributors of hazardous substances at the site and therefore eligible for settlement as authorized by section 70 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.707).
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlements will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The COAs that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment. The COAs can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4592. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreements will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the consent order and agreement to the Department by October 30, 1996, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.

Location: Kopper Penny/One Stop located at the Northwest corner of the intersection of SR 329 and SR 3017, Allen Township, Northampton County.
Project Description: This project proposes a commercial building housing 2,100 square feet of convenience store and 1,000 square feet of fast food drive thru service only. Four gas pump islands will also be included on the site. The proposed sewage flows for the project are 600 gpd based on flows from similar facilities. The 600 gpd of proposed sewage flows will be disposed of through the use of an onsite aerobic package treatment facility. An onlot well will supply water to the project. An easement has been obtained from the adjoining property owner to cross his land with the discharge line from the package plant to gain access to the stream. Soil testing done on the 2.10 acre site showed unsuitable soil conditions for the use of an onlot sewage disposal system.
An operation and maintenance agreement for the long term operation and maintenance of the package treatment plant has been executed between the developer and Allen Township, as per 25 Pa. Code § 71.72.
The developer and the township are also of the understanding that the package treatment plant proposed for this site would have to be abandoned in the event that public sewerage facilities would become available to the site in the future.

The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, has authorized, under General Permit No. WMGR038, processing and/or beneficial use of waste tires and/or tire-derived material. This is a Statewide general permit.
Under the terms and conditions of the general permit, persons who are approved to process and/or beneficially use waste tires and/or tire derived material will be required to meet, at a minimum, the following: compliance with The Clean Streams Law, compliance with the Solid Waste Management Act, conform with local safety and nuisance control requirements, conformance with isolation distances, maintain records and submit routine operation reports.
