SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


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

   Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110.

   Location: Logan Township, Blair County, 800 39th St., Altoona, PA 16602-1799. The approved plan examines and updates flow figures and alternatives from the approved 1994 Township plan that proposed to expand and upgrade the Greenwood sewage treatment plant, taking into consideration the results of I/I investigations completed since 1994. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

   Location: West Manheim Township, York County, 31 Fairview Dr., Hanover, PA 17331. The plan was disapproved because the proposal failed to address the plan deficiencies originally identified in our letter dated August 10, 1999. The Plan deficiencies are (1) The sewage disposal needs identification is inadequate, (2) The sewage disposal alternatives identification is inadequate, (3) The sewage disposal alternatives analysis is inadequate as it applies to sewage collection technologies, onlot disposal problems and nitrate-nitrogen groundwater contamination, (4) The 7-year-old well test results, completed for a previous plan have not been adequately re-validated, (6) Maps provided with this plan are unusable due to improper scale, content selection, and inadequate documentation and (7) The concerns expressed by the York County Planning Commission in their April 9, 1999 comment letter have not been addressed.

   Location: Londonderry Township, Bedford County, P. O. Box 215, Hyndman, PA 15545. The approved plan provides for enforcement of an OLDS Maintenance District Ordinance in the 12 subsections previously identified in the Phase I Plan. In situations where OLDS repairs are not possible, holding tanks will be used as a last resort. In such cases, the Municipal Authority will install, own and maintain holding tanks. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988


Settlement under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq. (CERCLA), has entered into a settlement with Park Ten, Inc. for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances disposed at the Sellersville Inactive Landfill (site). This site is located at the corner of Main and Twelfth Streets, in the Borough of Sellersville, Bucks County, PA.

   Between the 1940's and the 1970's, the site was used as an unpermitted dump for municipal, residual and hazardous wastes. Radioactive and non-radioactive hazardous substances were released on a 2-acre portion of the site. Under its authority under, among other things, section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)), the Department conducted a response action to remediate hazardous substances disposed on the site. The Department incurred $6,106,720.50 in response costs to abate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the site. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claim against Park Ten, Inc. Therefore, Park Ten, Inc. shall reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $62,000.

   This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), 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 Timothy Cherry, at (610) 832-6204 or Gina M. Thomas, at (610) 832-6300, who may also be contacted electronically at cherry.timothy@dep. state.pa.us and thomas.gina@dep.state.pa.us, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Timothy Cherry at the above address.
