This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
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 AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.

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 pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

NOTICE OF PROMPT INTERIM RESPONSE
Punxsutawney Groundwater Contamination Site
Punxsutawney Borough, Jefferson CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (HSCA), will conduct a response action at the Punxsutawney Groundwater Contamination Site (site). The site, as it is currently understood, is located in a light industrial/residential area in Punxsutawney Borough, Jefferson County, PA. The approximate site boundaries are Walnut Street to the West, Sutton Street to the South, Chestnut Street to the East and Cherry Street to the North. The site is an approximately two city blocks including several small industrial buildings adjacent to residential housing lots.
This response is intended to help mitigate the threats to human health and the environment at the site that are posed by wastes illegally disposed beneath the floor of the former Berlin Metal Polishers manufacturing building (Building), located at 400 Walnut Street. This is the same general area where the United States Environmental Protection Agency conducted a soil removal action in the late 1980's and a Department response in 2007 that removed additional contaminated soils. Hazardous substances are present in illegally disposed wastes and associated impacted soils beneath the Building. These wastes contain hazardous substances that have leached into the surrounding soil, and are believed to be a significant source of groundwater contamination at the site. These wastes have also weakened the concrete floor/walls of the Building and are a contributing factor in compromising its structural integrity. A second building, a home located at 617 Cherry Street (House), has also been impacted by the migration of site-related hazardous substances. The Department has also determined that its demolition is warranted.
For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the Building and House at the site: 1) no action; and 2) demolish the weakened Building and contaminated House to allow for the post demolition removal of hazardous wastes and associated impacted soils buried beneath the floor of the Building and in the basement of the House. Following excavation, the excavated wastes and soils will be characterized for proper off-site disposal. Building/House demolition wastes/materials will be separated for proper recycling or disposal. The elimination of this source area will help to mitigate the groundwater contamination at the site, and eliminate potential exposure to trespassers to the Building or House.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: (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.
Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. 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 as the prompt interim response for the site. This alternative was proposed because it would, in a more cost-effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. 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. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Telephone before hand for an appointment (telephone: 814-332-6648). A duplicate administrative record will be maintained at the Punxsutawney Borough Office (Mahoning East Civic Center), 301 East Mahoning Street, Punxsutawney, PA 15767.
The administrative record will be open for comment from May 29, 2010, until August 27, 2010. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Mr. John Morettini, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the Department's response at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for July 7, 2010, at 6:30 p.m. at the Punxsutawney Borough Council Chambers, also located at 301 East Mahoning Street, Punxsutawney, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing must register on or before June 23, 2010, by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Freda Tarbell at (814) 332-6945. A general question and answer period will follow the formal oral comment period of the public hearing. If no person requests to present oral comments, by the date specified previously, a hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if a hearing will be held, should contact Ms. Tarbell at the telephone number noted above.
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 Ms. Tarbell at 814-332-6945 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
