HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Notice of Prompt Interim Response

Marvec Manufacturing Site, Upland Borough, Delaware 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 Marvec Manufacturing Site. 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 site is located at 115 Sixth Street, Upland Borough, Delaware County, PA.

   The site consists of a large industrial building that was abandoned in 2000. The site has been under investigation by the Department since it was discovered to be abandoned in February of 2001 on a routine inspection by the Department's Waste Management Division. Based upon the findings of the investigation the Department determined that a large number of drums containing hazardous materials had been abandoned in the basement of the site. The Department has also determined that process vats still contain liquids that contain hazardous materials.

   As part of the investigation activities at the site, sampling of the main process vats were collected and analyzed for metals. The analysis revealed that the vats contained highly caustic bases and toxic metals. The Department also determined that approximately 40 drums containing corrosive sludge and 60 drums containing waste quenching oils were abandoned in the basement of the facility.

   On June 25, 2001, a site visit was conducted with a consulting firm to assess the condition of the site and the drums. At that time the Department determined that the drums containing corrosive caustic sludge were beginning to show signs of corrosion. The security of the building was questionable with many windows broken and unlocked during the site visit.

   The Prompt Interim Response Action consists of stabilization and sampling followed by off-site transportation and disposal of hazardous materials in drums and lab pack containers at the site as well as proper reuse, recycling, or disposal of empty drums and containers off-site. The action also consists of pump and cleanout of the process vats. The Department chose to conduct a prompt interim response at the site because of the condition of the drums and the nature of materials stored in the basement. Conditions at the site created a reasonable basis to believe that prompt action was required to protect public health and safety under 25 Pa. Code § 3.21(b).

   The Department determined that a prompt interim response under the authority of sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA was the most environmentally sound and protective alternative for the site. The Department considered taking no action at the site and determined that taking no action would not have addressed or resolved the threat to public health and the environment associated with the site.

   The administrative record (AR) which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office located at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. A second copy of the AR is available for public inspection at the Upland Borough Hall located at 224 Castle Avenue, Upland, PA, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

   Written comments concerning the Department's response and the information contained in the AR will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked on or before November 30, 2001. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Mark Conaron, PA DEP Project Officer, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6192.

   In addition, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for September 19, 2001, at 7 p.m. at Upland Borough Hall, 224 Castle Avenue, Upland, PA. There will be a public information session at 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Borough Hall to answer questions.

   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 contact Lynda Rebarchak, DEP Community Relations Coordinator at (610) 832-6019 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day comment period on the administrative record, as provided under the Act.
