NPDES Stormwater Individual Permit

   The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater associated with a construction activity into waters of this Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated, on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations set forth in the permit conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative. Limitations are provided as erosion and sediment control best management practices which restrict the rate and quantity of sediment discharged.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the appropriate Department Regional Office noted before the application within 30 days from the date of this public notice.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Notice of Interim Response

Boldan Landfill

Penn Township, Westmoreland County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is proposing a response action for the Boldan Landfill. The Boldan Landfill is located at the end of Bolen Lane in Penn Township, Westmoreland County. The Boldan Landfill consists of 118 acres of abandoned landfill. Boldan Landfill received both industrial and municipal waste from 1958 to 1970. The Department will hold a public hearing concerning the proposed action on June 27, 2001, in the Harrison Room, Penn Township, Westmoreland County at 7 p.m.

   An unknown quantity of industrial waste was dumped or buried at the site. Several exposed drums containing various wastes are present at the site. Adjacent to the exposed drums, there are several mounded areas that are suspected to contain numerous additional drums. Two unnamed tributaries border the site and receive flow from several leachate seeps originating in the landfill. Several sampling events were conducted at the site with hazardous contaminants detected in the soil and surface water. Contaminants are leaving the site via the leachate seeps to the unnamed tributaries. The Boldan Landfill currently poses a substantial threat to public health, safety and the environment.

   The Department has considered several alternatives for a response at the site including:

   1.  No action;

   2.  Restricting the site; and

   3.  Conducting an investigation

   The Department has determined that conducting a further investigation at the site is the appropriate alternative. The Department chose this alternative because it complies with section 501(a) of the HSCA and is the only alternative that is protective of human health and the environment. An investigation would provide the Department with the information required to determine if additional remediation efforts are necessary at the site to protect human health and the environment. The Department's proposed action is intended to fully characterize the site and enable the Department to determine the most appropriate method to remediate the site.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from May 26, 2001, until August 24, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or by delivering them to the Southwest Regional Office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Wednesday, June 27, 2001, at 7 p.m., at the Harrison Room, 1010 Mill Street, Harrison City. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Betsy Mallison before June 25, 2001, by telephone at (412) 442-4000 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Betsy Mallison at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
