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 any 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, 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 of Environmental Protection 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
Notice is hereby given that DEP has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the DEP Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the DEP providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with DEP Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts, which serve as the basis for the objections. If DEP schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Notice of Prompt Interim Response Marvec Manufacturing Site, Upland Borough, Delaware County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Marvec Manufacturing Site. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020-505(b)). The site is located at 115 Sixth Street, Upland Borough, Delaware County, PA.
The site consists of a large industrial building that was abandoned in 2000. The site has been under investigation by the Department since it was discovered to be abandoned in February of 2001 on a routine inspection by the Department's Waste Management Division. Based upon the findings of the investigation the Department determined that a large number of drums containing hazardous materials had been abandoned in the basement of the site. The Department has also determined that process vats still contain liquids that contain hazardous materials.
As part of the investigation activities at the site, sampling of the main process vats were collected and analyzed for metals. The analysis revealed that the vats contained highly caustic bases and toxic metals. The Department also determined that approximately 40 drums containing corrosive sludge and 60 drums containing waste quenching oils were abandoned in the basement of the facility.
On June 25, 2001, a site visit was conducted with a consulting firm to assess the condition of the site and the drums. At that time the Department determined that the drums containing corrosive caustic sludge were beginning to show signs of corrosion. The security of the building was questionable with many windows broken and unlocked during the site visit.
The Prompt Interim Response Action consists of stabilization and sampling followed by off-site transportation and disposal of hazardous materials in drums and lab pack containers at the site as well as proper reuse, recycling, or disposal of empty drums and containers off-site. The action also consists of pump and cleanout of the process vats. The Department chose to conduct a prompt interim response at the site because of the condition of the drums and the nature of materials stored in the basement. Conditions at the site created a reasonable basis to believe that prompt action was required to protect public health and safety under 25 Pa. Code § 3.21(b).
The Department determined that a prompt interim response under the authority of sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA was the most environmentally sound and protective alternative for the site. The Department considered taking no action at the site and determined that taking no action would not have addressed or resolved the threat to public health and the environment associated with the site.
The administrative record (AR) which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office located at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

Written comments concerning the Department's response and the information contained in the AR will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked on or before November 30, 2001. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Mark Conaron, PA DEP Project Officer, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6192.
In addition, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for September 19, 2001, at 7 p.m. at Upland Borough Hall, 224 Castle Avenue, Upland, PA. There will be a public information session at 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Borough Hall to answer questions.
