[Continued from previous Web Page]

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS

   The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Prompt Interim Response

Berkley Products Company Plant Site,
West Earl Township and Akron Borough,
Lancaster County, PA.

   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 Berkley Products Company Plant Site (Berkley), 405 South 7th Street, Akron, PA 17501. 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)).

   Berkley is located at 405 South 7th Street in West Earl Township and is bordered by the Borough of Akron, Lancaster County. The approximately 2.5-acre facility is located on a hillside sloping from South 7th Street at the front to South 9th Street at the rear. Residential properties surround most of the site, but a few commercial properties are also present. The site can be found on the United States Geological Survey Ephrata, PA, quadrangle map at north 40° 14` 01" latitude and west 76° 12` 33" longitude.

   Berkley is an operating facility producing customized coatings and has manufactured coatings at the facility since 1955. During most of their operation, solvents were used as drying agents in the coatings and for cleaning the manufacturing equipment. At some point, Berkley began reprocessing their solvent waste for reuse in the manufacturing process. Beginning in 1974, Berkley began accepting solvent waste for reprocessing and reuse. In 1980, Berkley submitted a Part A Application for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Interim Status as a treatment and storage facility. By then Berkley was blending waste for cement kiln fuel and consolidating waste for shipment to various disposal facilities. The waste streams included toluene, trichloroethene (TCE), other individual solvents and chemicals and solvent and chemical mixtures. The facility is in the RCRA Corrective Action Program but is financially unable to address environmental problems. Soil, groundwater and surface water contamination have been identified. Although the area is served by a public water supply, the groundwater contamination plume extends beneath neighboring residences presenting a VOC groundwater-to-indoor-air (vapor intrusion) threat.

   The Department considered three alternatives:

   1)  Institutional controls, no action for the indoor air Medium Specific Concentration (MSC) VOC exceedances in residential homes affected by vapor intrusion emanating from the Berkley Plant.

   2)  Install air mitigation systems in the residential homes affected by vapor intrusion emanating from the Berkley Company Plant Site. The basement walls and floors of the homes would also be sealed to prevent vapor intrusion. Postinstallation indoor air sampling would be conducted to verify the effectiveness of the systems and sealing work. The Department will cover all the costs associated with the installation and testing of the systems. However, thereafter each homeowner will be responsible for the electric costs to operate the system.

   3)  Treat the contaminated groundwater plume to mitigate the levels of VOC contaminants emanating from the Berkley Plant. This would entail a long-term remedial action as in-situ chemical treatment or construction of an onsite pump and treatment system. This option would be time and cost intensive. Residential exposure threats would continue during the period of time that in-situ treatment or operation of the pump and treatment system removes the VOCs from the groundwater to the degree needed to mitigate vapor intrusion threats.

   The Department has determined that prompt action is required to protect the public health and safety and the environment and has consequently chosen Alternative 2. This prompt interim action is not intended to be the final remedy for the Berkley 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 3:30 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting David Hrobuchak at (717) 705-4843. The Administrative Record may also be reviewed at the Akron Borough Municipal Office, 117 South Seventh Street, Akron, PA 17501 by calling (717) 859-1600.

   The Administrative Record will be open for comment beginning April 22, 2006, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before July 24, 2006, by mailing them to David Hrobuchak at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office address.

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for June 7, 2006, at 7 p.m. at the Mennonite Central Committee Welcoming Place, 21 South 12th Street, Akron, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., June 2, 2006, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

   If no person registers to present oral comments by June 2, 2006, 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 (717) 705-4931. 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 (717) 705-4931 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
