Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, telephone (717) 826-2553.

   Antolick Residence, North Abington Township, Lackawanna County.

   Project Description: This residential project will involve the construction of a single-family dwelling adjacent to the property owner's existing business, the Inn of the Abingtons. The parcel upon which the home is being proposed is an existing 2.4 acre lot that will be combined with the 2.7 acre parcel upon which the restaurant is located, creating a new 5.1 acre lot.

   Wastewater from the restaurant is currently disposed of in an elevated sand mound onlot system and will remain as such. Sewage flows from the proposed dwelling will be 500 gpd and will be disposed of by utilizing a Small Flow Treatment Facility with a stream discharge.

   This treatment plant will discharge to Kennedy Creek. Acceptance of this revision is conceptual. It leaves to be addressed at a later date both (1) the effluent limitations necessary to protect public health, and (2) specific treatment technology.

   The location of this project is on the south side of T-524, 1 mile west of the Scott Interchange of I-81 in North Abington Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.

   Borough of Thompson, Susquehanna County

   The Department's review has found that the Plan Update is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   The approval of the Plan Update is conditioned, though, upon ultimate compliance with the provisions of the History Code (37 Pa.C.S. § 507). The costs of conducting any required survey work related to compliance with the History Code must be included in the cost of the proposed sewage facilities project. If recovery work or system re-design is required as a result of attaining compliance with the requirements of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the Department's Northeast Regional Office must be notified immediately.

   The chosen wastewater disposal alternative outlined in the Plan Update calls for the implementation of Alternative 2C as identified in the Plan Update. This alternative proposes the construction of a 30,000 gpd wastewater treatment facility (septic tank with intermittent sand filter and stream discharge) and wastewater collection system (with various appurtenances) to serve 66 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs) located in the central section of Thompson Borough. The 66 EDUs include 43 EDUs which currently discharge their wastewater to a ''wildcat'' sewer system with two outfalls directly to Starrucca Creek. Sewer service will also be provided for an additional 19 EDUs which discharge directly to Starrucca Creek or its immediate tributaries. In addition to eliminating all ''wildcat'' sewers within the Borough, the proposed wastewater collection system will also serve four EDUs whose onlot wastewater disposal systems are currently malfunctioning. The Plan Update also provides for the establishment of an onlot sewage management program. The proposed program will provide for the long-term monitoring and continued safe operation of all remaining onlot wastewater disposal systems located within Thompson Borough.

   Financing of the chosen wastewater disposal alternative's construction is proposed to be provided by the RECDS in the form of a grant and long-term, low-interest loan. The Borough is also proposing a $500 connection fee to reduce the total amount of funds required to be obtained through RECDS.

   In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537) and 25 Pa. Code Ch. 71 (relating to administration of sewage facilities planning program), the Department will hold the Borough of Thompson responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update's chosen alternative, as listed in the Schedule of Implementation, contained in the Plan Update.

   Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update must be in compliance with the Department's Regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.


Actions taken under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17).

Submission of Final Reports on Attainment of Background and Statewide Health Standards (Sections 302(e)(2) and 303(h)(2))

   The following final reports were submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 2).

   Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the Act's remediation standards. 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.

   For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears. If information concerning a final report 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 1 (800) 654-5984.

   The Department has received the following final report.

Brown, 123 Woodtip Drive, Trucksville, PA has submitted a Final Report concerning the remediation of site groundwater contaminated with BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and/or xylene) compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons. The report is intended to document remediation of the site to meet the Statewide health standard. A Notice of Intent to Remediate was simultaneously submitted. Please refer to additional Pennsylvania Bulletin notice.


Opening of the Administrative Record; Proposed Response under The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Zieglerville TCE Site
Lower Frederick Township, Montgomery County

   The 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 Zieglerville TCE site.

   The Zieglerville TCE site is located at 1202 North Gravel Pike in Zieglerville, Montgomery County. The site consists of a groundwater contamination plume resulting from a manufacturing operation formerly located at 1202 North Gravel Pike. The facility manufactured, packaged and utilized solvents bearing TCE (trichlorethene) in its processes.

   The Department has determined, through sampling, that a source of the groundwater contamination exists within the soil on the site property. The source area consists of an area of soil approximately 360 square feet in size, contaminated to a depth of 8 feet. The Department has also determined during the investigation that a number of drums on the adjoining property contain potentially hazardous materials. The Department suspects that the materials were generated by the former solvent manufacturer. The soil contamination constitutes a continuing release of hazardous materials to the environment, which may affect a nearby municipal water well. The drums containing potentially hazardous materials constitute a threat of a release of hazardous substances to the environment, which may contaminate the underlying soil and groundwater.

   The objective of this response is to remove source areas, which threaten the local groundwater aquifer. The Department proposes to treat the soil in place using heat and mixing, with appropriate air quality emission controls to address the source area in the soil. The Department also proposes to remove drums containing potentially hazardous materials from the site for proper reuse, recycling, treatment and/or disposal. Through this proposed action the Department will address the areas which constitute threats to the groundwater at the site.

   The Department has considered four alternatives for addressing the contaminated soil at the site. The No Action Alternative is required by HSCA to establish a baseline, and is not considered protective of human health or of the environment. Excavation and removal followed by proper treatment/disposal of contaminated soil is a feasible alternative, however, fugitive emissions from the excavation would be difficult to control and soil may require additional treatment prior to land disposal. Onsite low temperature thermal desorption would destroy contaminants in the soil, however, excavation is also required prior to treatment and mobilization costs for the treatment equipment are prohibitive for a relatively small amount of soil. Treatment of the soil using heat and mixing in place controls fugitive emissions and is a cost effective remedy which can be conducted over a short period of time.

   The Department considered two alternatives for addressing the drums potentially containing hazardous materials at the site. The Department considered taking no action to remove the drums from the site. Taking no action to address the drums would not be protective of the environment or public welfare. Removal of the drums containing hazardous materials addresses the threat of release of hazardous materials from the containers.

   The Department is proposing that the contaminated soil be cleaned up using mixing coupled with heat stripping and that drums containing hazardous materials be removed from the site.

   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 Lower Frederick Township Building, 53 Spring Mount Road in Spring Mount and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The administrative record may also be reviewed at the DEP Regional Office located at 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, in the Lee Park building, Conshohocken, PA.

   Written comments concerning the Department's response and the information contained in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before September 16, 1996. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Dustin Armstrong, DEP Project Officer, Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-6206.

   In addition, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for July 17, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lower Frederick Township Municipal Building, located at 53 Spring Mount Road, Spring Mount, PA. Persons wishing to present oral comments should 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 hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Rob Goldberg or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 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 of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period for an opening of the Administrative Record, as provided, under that act.
