Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County West Hazleton Borough 100 South Fourth Street West Hazleton, PA 18202 Luzerne Plan Description: The Corrective Action Plan (CAP), submitted as a plan update revision to West Hazleton Borough's (Borough) Official Sewage Facilities Plan, proposes a systematic investigation that will identify and propose corrective measures for portions of the Borough's wastewater collection system that may be subject to excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow (I/I). The CAP is also intended to reduce hydraulic overloading at the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. The CAP also contains an implementation schedule for its investigative activities. The CAP is now to be considered an integral part of the Borough's Official Sewage Facilities Plan.
Should conditions be encountered during the implementation of the CAP, which require the alteration of the approved CAP, the Borough shall contact the Department, in writing, and discuss the need to alter the CAP at the earliest possible time. Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the CAP must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
Plan Location: Jacob Schray
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Bushkill Twp 1114 Bushkill Center Rd. Nazareth, PA 18064 Northampton Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the subdivision plan submitted for the above referenced proposed Official Plan Revision consisting of a single family residence on a 2.82 acre tract.
This project proposes a small flow treatment facility to repair a malfunctioning on-lot sewage disposal system, which currently serves the residence. The proposed treatment facility will include a 1,500 gallon, dual compartment treatment tank, an Orenco Advantex(r) AX-20N treatment unit, followed by an ultraviolet radiation disinfection unit. The discharge will be to a tributary of the West Branch Sobers Run, a tributary to the Bushkill Creek, which is designated as High Quality-Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF) in 25 PA Code § 93.9c. An existing private springhouse is located on the property.
Since there is no environmentally sound and cost-effective nondischarge alternative available to correct the existing public health or pollution hazard at this site, the social or economic justification requirements in 25 PA Code § 93.4c(b)(1)(iii) for a discharge to high quality waters has been satisfied.
The proposed development is located at 189 East Mountain Road, Bushkill Township, Northampton County.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of 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 act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
