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

Currie Landfill Site, Millcreek Township, Erie 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 Currie Landfill Site (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 along 15th Street, Millcreek Township, Erie County. The Site consists of an abandoned municipal and industrial mixed-waste landfill. Access to the Site is unrestricted and it is evident that trespassers frequent the Site.

   The Department conducted a remedial investigation of the Site in November 2003 and observed numerous abandoned drums on the vegetated western edge of the Site. The drums appear to have been disposed after the closure of the landfill (that is, they are not severely corroded and drum markings are clearly visible in many cases). The exact contents of the drums are unknown and will be defined during the response. However, some drum markings include the phrase ''combustible liquids.''

   For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the site: (1) no action; and (2) excavation and offsite disposal of the containerized wastes and associated visibly contaminated soils.

   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 selected because it would, in the most cost effective manner, protect the public and environment from direct contact containerized wastes and associated visibly contaminated soils and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of those wastes into the environment.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the 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 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Contact the Northwest Regional Office at (814) 332-6648 for an appointment.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from October 2, 2004, until December 31, 2004. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending or delivering them to John Morettini, Project Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. Persons wishing to present comments must register with John Morettini before November 2, 2004, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact John Morettini. If no one registers to present oral comments before November 2, 2004, the public hearing will not be held.

   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 John Morettini at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department can accommodate their needs.
