HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Proposed Consent Decree
In the matter of: Paoli Railyards, Paoli,
Chester County, PAThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act and the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, hereby gives notice that it has entered into a proposed Consent Decree with the Fish and Boat Commission, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK), and the Consolidated Railroad Company (CONRAIL) (collectively Rail Companies) relating to the cleanup of the Paoli Railyards National Priority List (NPL) Superfund Site in Paoli, Chester County, PA. The proposed Consent Decree has been lodged with the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania pending completion of the public notice requirements set forth by statute.
The Paoli Railyards NPL Site consists of approximately 25 acres in Paoli, Chester County, PA which is and has been owned and operated as a Railyard and Carshop servicing the Rail Companies. The Site also includes certain neighboring properties and the streambeds of portions of the Little Valley Creek watershed. Contamination at the Site consists primarily of polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs) which have been released on and around the Site as well as certain fuel oil contamination within the Railyard Property.
The EPA and the Department have concurred on the appropriate remedial response for the Site as documented in an EPA Record of Decision (ROD) dated July 21, 1992 for the Site. The remedial action consists of (1) the excavation of PCB contaminated soils and sediments from the Railyard Property, affected neighboring properties and portions of the Little Valley Creek watershed to levels set forth in the ROD; and (2) treatment through permanent construction of a containment facility on the Railyard Property. The remedial response will also consist of the demolition of the Carshop on the Railyard Property and the implementation of a pump and treatment system for groundwaters contaminated with fuel oil from the Railyard.
Under the proposed Consent Decree, the Rail Companies will construct and implement all portions of the remedial action which will take place on the Railyard Property and will reimburse both the Commonwealth and Federal governments for response costs incurred and natural resource damages associated with the Site.
This Notice is being provided under Section 1113 of HSCA. The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed Consent Decree from the date of publication of this Notice. The Proposed Consent Decree may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Department's Southeast Field Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Interested persons may contact Thomas Sheehan at (610) 832-6149 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours. Persons may submit written comments to Thomas Sheehan at the above address. The Department will provide a response to all significant written comments received during the public comment period, and the proposed Consent Decree authorizes the Department to withhold or withdraw its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on comments received during the public comment period, that the Consent Decree is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.

Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Operating Permit
Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). An 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 section 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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, 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 persons submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.
The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of scheduled public hearings at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.
