HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Prospective Purchaser Agreement Settlement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation And Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675) among other statutes, has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with Equity Brokerage, Inc. (EBI) related to the East Tenth Street HSCA Site in Marcus Hook, Delaware County, PA.

   Under the terms of the Prospective Purchaser Agreement, EBI will make a contribution towards the Department's response costs at the Site and agrees not to exacerbate any existing contamination attributable to the East Tenth Street Site in exchange for a covenant not to sue and contribution protection from the Department.

   Copies of the full Prospective Purchaser Agreement are maintained in the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, and may be viewed or obtained by contacting April Flipse at (610) 843-5937 or William Blasberg at (610) 832-6000 during normal business hours. A 60-day period of public comment will follow the date of publication of this Notice, and the Department has reserved the right to withdraw from the Prospective Purchaser Agreement in the event that comments submitted during the comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the Prospective Purchaser Agreement is inappropriate or not in the public interest. Interested parties may submit comments in writing to April Flipse at the Department's Southeast Regional Office.

Notice of Prompt Interim Response

Mount Union Creosote Site
Mount Union Borough
Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at Mount Union Creosote Site. This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The site is located at Mount Union Borough, Huntingdon County, PA.

   The Mount Union Creosote Site (Site) is located in the northeastern section of Mount Union Borough, Huntingdon County. The area of concern is 15.5 acres previously occupied by a creosote treatment plant and its associated features. Former creosote treatment, storage and disposal activities have resulted in the release of hazardous substances. The athletic fields of the Mount Union Area High School are located in the area previously occupied by the south end of the former creosote plant operations and are believed to have been constructed over the area used for drying creosote impregnated railroad ties.

   The Department conducted an investigation during July 1999 to assess the impact of former creosote activities on surface soils (less than 2 feet below the ground surface), the bedrock aquifer, and to determine groundwater flow paths and impacts to surface waters and sediments of the Juniata River.

   The collection and analysis of surface soil samples throughout the Site indicate a sporadic occurrence of creosote-impacted soils. The chemicals of concern (COCs) are creosote related organic contaminants present above regulatory site-specific standards. The Site COCs are benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(b)fluoran- thene. Analysis of site monitoring wells shows the presence of soil COCs in the shallow groundwater.

   To assess the site-specific potential impact of the COCs in the surface soil on the groundwater, a fate and transport analysis of potential leaching was performed and site-specific concentrations were calculated. The calculations indicate that existing groundwater contaminant levels are not currently impacting the Juniata River and will not impact river sediment and surface water in the future.

   The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this Site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based on the potential and actual human exposure to hazardous substances in the shallow soil via inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact.

   The Department considered three alternatives:  1. No action, which allows the continued exposure to COCs in the shallow soil. 2. Limited action, which includes implementation of a deed restriction to prevent future intrusive activities at the Site, and prohibit future use of groundwater at the Site. 3. Excavation and disposal of contaminated surface soil, and continued groundwater monitoring.

   The Department has chosen to implement specific elements of Alternative 2 and implement Alternative 3. Both comply with applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), will reduce hazardous constituent concentrations below regulatory standards, remove direct contact threats, and are cost effective. These alternatives are protective of human health, safety, welfare and the environment by eliminating the risk from further release of hazardous substances at the Site.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Crystal Snook at (717) 705-6645. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Mount Union Public Library, Mount Union, PA.

   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 November 29, 2002, by mailing them to Crystal Snook at Department of Environmental Protection, South Central Region, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for October 1, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Mount Union High School Auditorium located at 706 North Shaver Street, Mount Union, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., September 26, 2002, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

   If no person registers to present oral comments by September 26, 2002, the hearing will not be held but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the same number previously listed. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.

   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 call Sandra Roderick at the same number previously listed or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Settlement Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

North Front Associates/Container Recyclers Site, Philadelphia County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a proposed settlement with William H. Cooper's Sons, Inc., concerning the cleanup of the North Front Associates (former Container Recyclers Ltd.) site in Philadelphia County, PA. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, William H. Cooper's Sons, Inc. will pay into the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund the sum of $10,600 in three installments. In the mid 1990's the Department implemented an Interim Response and a Prompt Interim Response to mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances released there.

   The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the proposed Consent Decree between the Department and William H. Cooper's Sons, Inc. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the proposed Consent Decree for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the proposed Consent Decree if the comments concerning the proposed Consent Decree disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the proposed Consent Decree is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with William H. Cooper's Sons, Inc. shall be effective on the date which, if the Department has notified the United State District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in writing that no significant comments were received or that a response to significant written comments has been filed, the Court issues an Order entering the Consent Decree.

   Copies of the proposed Consent Decree are available for inspection at the Department's Southeast Regional Office in Conshohocken, Montgomery County. Comments may be submitted in writing to: Thomas Sheehan, Project Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, Department of Environmental Protection, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken PA 19428. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mr. Sheehan at (610) 832-6000 during normal business hours.

PREAMBLE 3


The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 (relating to publication), Administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or non-residential 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. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
