HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Proposed Site Investigation

General Alloy Casting Company Site, Rochester Township, Beaver County.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303), is proposing a site investigation at General Alloy Casting Company Site, Rochester Township, Beaver County, PA.

   Under the authority of the HSCA, the Department is proposing a response action for the Site. The Site consists of industrial waste disposal areas located on the side of a steep ravine above McKinley Run in the Township of Rochester, Beaver County. The Site is adjacent to a mixed residential/industrial area. McKinley Run is a tributary to the Beaver River that flows into the Ohio River, a WWF under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 (relating to water quality standards). The most recent waste disposal activities are from waste generated from the operations of the General Alloy Casting Company. General Alloy Casting Company operated a bronze foundry from 1947 until 1982 located at 600 New York Avenue, Rochester, PA.

   The waste is on the hillside portion of the 2.8 acre property. A building exists on the flatter portion of the property upgradient of the waste area. The following waste types and quantities were disposed of into the ravine from the operations of the General Alloy Casting Company: tool foundry grinding and cut-off dusts, bronze foundry shot blast collector dusts, electric furnace emission control dusts. In addition, waste glass was disposed of at the Site in the early 20th century from nearby glass manufacturing facilities.

   Based on historical information and sampling, the Department has determined that lead, arsenic and nickel have been released from the Site. Lead, arsenic and nickel are hazardous substances as defined by the HSCA.

   The current and/or potential threat from the Site to human health or welfare is the direct contact of the contamination to persons entering the area where the disposal area is located or coming into contact with surface water contaminated from seepage from the waste. The current and/or potential threats that adversely affect the environment is the possible contamination of the soil, groundwater and surface water related to the disposal area as a result of leaching of contamination from the waste.

   The objectives and scope of the proposed response are to determine the extent of the disposal area and the nature of the material disposed and determine if contamination has migrated from the disposal area into the soil, groundwater, or surface water.

   The following alternatives were evaluated:

   Alternative 1. This alternative consists of taking no action to investigate the extent of contamination at the Site or determine the threats related to the release of hazardous substances from the Site.

   Alternative 2. This alternative consists of conducting a site investigation to determine the extent of the disposal area and the nature of the materials disposed. The investigation will also determine if contamination has migrated into the soil, groundwater and/or surface water. In addition, an evaluation will be made of remediation alternatives designed to address the threats related to the Site.

Proposed Response

   The proposed selected alternative is Alternative 2: to conduct a site investigation to determine the extent of the disposal area, the nature and extent of the contamination and evaluate possible remediation alternatives. Alternative 2 was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant, appropriate requirements and is cost effective compared to Alternative 1.

   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 action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 to 4.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from December 9, 2006, until March 9, 2007. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Terry Goodwald in the Southwest Regional Office at 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 Thursday, January 11, 2007, at 6 p.m. at the Rochester Township Municipal Building, 1013 Elm Street. Persons wishing to present comments are asked to register with Helen Humphreys, Department of Environmental Protection Community Relations Coordinator, by noon on January 10, 2007, by telephone at (412) 442 4183 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 Helen Humphreys at (412) 442-4183 or through the Pennsylvania AT & T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).

   Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311--1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.

   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.
