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

Prompt Interim Response

Apple Road Site, Bear Creek Area Chemical Site, Concord, Fairview and Parker Townships, Butler County and Perry Township, Armstrong County

   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 the Apple Road Site, one of the disposal areas that make up the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site. The Bear Creek Area Chemical Site includes, among other things, at least 24 areas where the Department knows or has evidence to suggest that industrial wastes were historically disposed and the surface water, groundwater, soils and sediments that have been contaminated from hazardous substances and contaminants that have migrated from the disposal areas. The individual disposal areas are in Concord, Fairview and Parker Townships, Butler County and Perry Township, Armstrong County. In the site area, the Department is providing approximately 900 homes and businesses with bottled water until a permanent water system is constructed as part of the Groundwater Operable Unit for the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site. A more detailed description of the location for each of the 24 individual disposal areas is in the administrative record compiled for this response. 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 Apple Road Site is in a sparsely populated residential area with undeveloped woodlands that has been subject to surface and deep mining for coal. Active and inactive oil and gas wells are common in the area. The disposal area consists of two separate deposits within an abandoned Upper Freeport Coal seam strip mine (referred to as the ''Eastern Deposit Area'' and ''Western Deposit Area,'' respectively). The deposits have a combined surface area of approximately 1.0 acre in size. The depth of the waste in the deposits ranges to 19 feet. Any potential surface water runoff and transport off the disposal area would drain into unnamed tributaries of the South Branch of Bear Creek.

   The following hazardous substances have been found in waste and environmental media at one or more of the disposal areas and are likely to be present at the Apple Road Site: resorcinol, xylene, benzene, acetone, phenols, formaldehyde, chloromethane, bromomethane, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, trichloroethane, ethyl benzene, nickel, lead, chromium, copper, aluminum sulfate and arsenic.

   Additionally, the following contaminants have been detected in waste and environmental media at most of the disposal areas, including the Apple Road Site: meta-benzene disulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid, para-phenol sulfonic acid, sulfonate, total petroleum hydrocarbons and calcium petronate/KSS. Resorcinol and certain contaminants have been detected in the groundwater, surface water and springs at the site.

   To date, no peer-reviewed, health or environmental agency-approved health-based advisory levels or maximum contaminant levels exist for resorcinol and the previously mentioned site-related contaminants for water or soils. The 5 parts per billion threshold medium specific concentration for resorcinol contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 250, Appendix A, Table 6 is a default value and was not derived from actual toxicological data used in the development of Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling Act. Accordingly, the risks associated with the presence of these compounds in drinking water, wastes and contaminated soils are not known. Further, the Department can not conclude that the presence of these substances does not threaten human health and the environment. As a result, the Department has decided that a response action is appropriate to protect public health and safety. For this prompt interim response, the Department considered three alternatives for the site.

Alternative 1--No Action

   This alternative would involve no further action to eliminated or reduce threats posed by the site.

Alternative 2--Multilayer Capping

   *  Placement of low permeability cap consisting of primary liner, geomembrane layer and 2-foot soil cover consisting of grading layer and topsoil layer.

   *  Vegetation of soil cover.

   *  Construction of perimeter stormwater channels.

   *  Mine spoil embankment stability improvements to minimize erosion and prevent slope failure.

Alternative 3--Removal of Wastes

   *  Excavation of contaminated wastes and soils.

   *  Solidification of liquid wastes.

   *  Offsite disposal in an approved facility.

   *  Regrading and revegetation of excavated areas.

   Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses applicable or relevant and appropriate requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.

   Based on the comparative analysis, the Department chose to implement Alternative 2--Multilayer Capping of wastes present on the Apple Road Site. With the anticipated provision of safe drinking water to the public in the area of the Apple Road Site (as well as all over the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site), the release of contaminants to the groundwater is less of a concern from the human health perspective (that is, exposure through drinking groundwater), eliminating the need to remove waste from that perspective. The only other significant routes of potential exposure to Apple Road waste constituents are via direct contact, surface water run-off into streams and the groundwater to surface water pathway. The capping alternative will effectively eliminate the direct contact and surface water run-off routes. The cost of Alternative 2 is estimated at $452,4534. The Department is in the process of evaluating (for the site as a whole) what, if any, levels of site contaminants of concern would be acceptable in surface water (that is, from the groundwater to surface water perspective). Once those levels are determined, potential surface water migration pathways at the Apple Road Site (and at other disposal areas) will be evaluated. If those surface water discharge concentrations exceed those that would be protective of ecological receptors in the streams, then they would be mitigated using the best available remedial technologies. This alternative was selected because it protects, in the most cost-effective manner, the public and ecological receptors from direct contact with wastes or surface water runoff contaminated with site-related hazardous substances.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment is at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Telephone the Northwest Regional Office for an appointment, (814) 332-6648.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from January 3, 2004, until April 5, 2004. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Chuck Tordella, Project Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 or by delivering them to the office in person. In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing and informational meeting on Tuesday, February 10, 2004, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Petrolia Fire Department Social Hall, 200 Argyle Street, Petrolia, PA 16050. Persons wishing to present comments can either register with Freda Tarbell, Northwest Regional Office, (814) 332-6945, in writing or sign in at the meeting to offer formal comments. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Freda Tarbell or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
