HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Gettysburg Foundry Site Operable Unit 1 Cumberland Township, Adams County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) will begin an interim response on the property known as the Gettysburg Foundry Site (Site) located approximately 5 miles south of Gettysburg on Business Route 15 (Emmitsburg Road) in Cumberland Township, Adams County.
The site, in operation from 1957 to March, 1997, manufactured aluminum castings. During the process of melting aluminum material in the furnace, combined pieces of dirt, steel and aluminum would rise to the surface of the melted material. This ''dross'' was skimmed off and sent to another part of the plant for handling. At that time, the steel was removed by magnets and the rest of the material was screened to remove dirt and dust from the aluminum. The aluminum was sent back to the furnace, and the dirt and dust (referred to as aluminum dross fine waste) was disposed in two onsite pits. This waste is approximately 37% salt, and also contains elevated levels of lead and aluminum. Baghouse dust from the facility's air pollution control device was also mixed in with the dross fines and disposed in the pits. The dust is characteristically hazardous under TCLP for cadmium. The waste in the pits is in the groundwater. In addition to the pits, there are piles of waste that contain much of the same material as the pits. There are approximately 200 drums, which reportedly contain draw bench sludge, on a cement pad at the site. These drums are covered with plastic, but are in deteriorating condition and some are leaking.
There is a threat to the public health and the environment from the continued release and threat of release of contaminants from the waste pits, the waste piles and the groundwater at the site.
Proposed Response
The Department considered two alternatives: 1) no action; and 2) securing the site to prevent direct contact threats from the waste. The Department prefers the second alternative which is protective of human health and the environment.
Alternative 1--No Action
This alternative involves taking no action to remove, remediate or contain the contaminated media at the site. This alternative is not protective of human health and the environment, and does not comply with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs). This response would not be cost effective since the cost of the final remedy might increase if there was a further release of waste from the Site.
Alternative 2--Securing the Site
This alternative involves securing the site and the waste at the site. Areas of concern would be fenced, or existing fencing would be repaired, to prevent trespassers from entering the site. Also, waste which is exposed to the environment or which is in deteriorating containers would be secured. The waste piles would be covered, and drummed waste would be sampled and overpacked. Surface water controls would be implemented to prevent contact of surface water with the waste and the transportation of contamination offsite.
This alternative is protective of human health and the environment. Securing the site would prevent direct contact threats from the waste, and securing the waste would prevent further releases to the environment until a final remedial action can be taken.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record that contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at Gettysburg Foundry Site is available for public review and comment at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, located at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4125. A copy of the administrative record is also available at the Adams County Public Library at 140 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA, and may be reviewed during regular library hours.
The administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before December 5, 1997, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed response action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 8, 1997, at 7 p.m. at the Adams County Library, 140 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing should register before 4 p.m. Friday, October 3, 1997, by calling Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 541-7969. If no person registers to present oral comments by October 3, 1997, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Mary Ann Fischer at the same number. If a hearing is not requested, a public meeting will still be held on October 8, 1997.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 541-7969, or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MWS) Landfill Operating Permit
Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). A MSW landfill is considered an existing MSW landfill if the facility began construction, modification or reconstruction before May 30, 1991; or received waste on or after November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for the future deposition of waste control of landfill gases from existing landfills using best demonstrated technology.
The Commonwealth's State Plan for implementing the EG was submitted to the EPA on July 1, 1997. In accordance with the 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection will enforce the requirements of the EG through the issuance of Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPS) to designated MSW landfills. Therefore, in accordance with the plan, the operating permit issued to the landfills identified below, will be revised to incorporate the requirements of the EG. This revised permit will serve as the enforcement mechanism for the EG requirements.
Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Regional Office.
Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.

Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company Site Newberry Township, York 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 entered into a number of consent decrees with multiple parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. These consent decrees were reached as part of the Department's cost recovery litigation in PADEP v. Columbia Leather and Coatings Company, Inc. et al. (Civil Action No. 1:CV-96-1502).
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 potentially responsible parties for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment 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 135 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 $3.3 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.
On August 28, 1997, the Department lodged with the Court in the Columbia Leather matter a total of 12 proposed consent decrees, two of them involving multiple parties. Under one of these multiple party consent decrees, 13 parties responsible for more than 5,000 gallons of hazardous substances at the ISCC site [Dri-Print Foils, Inc.; Fuller Company; Kelly Springfield Tire Company (a division of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company); Kerr Group, Inc.; Lyon Metal Products, Inc.; Mohawk Flush Doors (Nortek, Inc.); Quality Chemicals, Inc.; Quebecor Printing Memphis, Inc.; Specialty Screw Machine Products, Inc.; Thomson 60 Case LLC; TR-Metro Chemical Inc.; Verla International, Ltd. and VIZ Manufacturing Company] will pay the Department $533,535 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site.

(on behalf of Wagner Lighting); Washington Aluminum Co.; York Container Company; and York Industrial Tool Inc.] will pay the Department $555,965 to resolve the Department's response costs claims. A number of parties to both of these multiple party consent decrees will also be resolving their liability to the Department for natural resource damages relating to the ISCC site.
The Department has also lodged with the Court proposed consent decrees with American Inks & Coatings Corporation ($11,078), Berkley Products Company ($18,426), Biddle Sawyer, Inc. $37,514), Boulden, Inc. ($154,280), Davis & Hemphill, Inc.

($4,833). Under all of the proposed consent decrees that are subject to this notice the Department will receive a total of $1,593,047.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The proposed consent decrees are subject to final approval by the Court in the Columbia Leather matter. The proposed consent decrees that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment.
