    LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

    Under Act 2, 1995

    Preamble 1


    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, 303, 304 and 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 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 cleanup 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 as 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 a 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's 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.

    AIR QUALITY

    Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

    Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. 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.

       The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.

       Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

       Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Comments or protests filed with the Department's 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 the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

       Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

    OPERATING PERMITS

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988

    Proposed Settlement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

    North Penn Area 1 Superfund Site
    Souderton Borough, Montgomery County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq.), has entered into a settlement with the Estate of Harry M. Maurer for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances disposed at the North Penn 1 Area Superfund Site (site). This site is located in Souderton, Montgomery County, PA and is one of 12 sites associated with contamination detected in the North Penn Water Authority Wells (No. NP1-NP12).

       Between 1953 and approximately 1983, Gentle Cleaners, a dry cleaning business owned by Harry M. Maurer, operated on the site and generated, owned and possessed hazardous substances. Tetrachloroethene (PCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane and other volatile organic compounds have contaminated groundwater, soil and sediments on the site. These conditions constituted a release and threatened release of hazardous substances on the site. In response, the Department and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have undertaken response actions to remediate contamination on the site.

       Based on the available assets of the Estate of Harry Maurer, the Department and the Estate have agreed to enter an inability to pay settlement in which the estate shall reimburse the Department in the amount of $3,000 for response costs incurred at the site.

       This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, which provides that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located in Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting either April Flipse, at (610) 832-5937 or Gina M. Thomas, at (610) 832-6300. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement by November 17, 1999, by submitting them to April Flipse at the previous address.

       Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program 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 Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (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 reuse 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 for 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.
