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.

Mechanicsburg, PA 17050
Cumberland

   Plan Description: Disapproval of a revision to the Official Sewage Plan of Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County. The proposed Sebastian Homes subdivision consists of the conversion of an 0.84 acre nonbuilding lot (Lot 15A) into a residential building lot to be served by an individual onlot sewage disposal system. The plan revision was disapproved because it does not adequately address the long-term sewage disposal needs of the lot, as site suitability testing was not conducted properly.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988

Notice of Proposed Interim Response Macoby Creek HSCA Site, Upper Hanover Township,
Montgomery County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing an interim response at the Macoby Creek HSCA Site (Site) in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, PA.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of HSCA, has conducted an investigation of the Site at 1400 Spring Valley Road, in Upper Hanover Township, where an electroplating facility operated from the early 1950s until the early 1980s. Records show that the electroplater discharged spent wastewater into two clay-lined lagoons on the property. The Department's investigation included onsite soil sampling, the installation and sampling of 36 monitoring wells and sampling of nearby home wells. Sampling results show Site soils under the plant building, near a loading dock and under two former lagoons to be contaminated with trichloroethylene and cadmium. Water sampling results indicate that the building is also the source of groundwater contamination as well.

   To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an Interim Response action at the Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department is proposing the demolition of the building and excavation and removal of contaminated soils to a designated hazardous waste landfill and/or residual waste landfill. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action, in-situ stabilization or ex-situ treatment of the soils.

   An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Project Officer Mark Conaron at (484) 250-5730 to arrange for an appointment.

Public Notice of Proposed Consent
Order and Agreement
Department of Environmental Protection
Mays Properties, Inc., Silver Lane Site
Robinson Township, Allegheny County

   Under section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO & A) with Aristech Chemical Corporation (Aristech) and Beazer East, Inc. (Beazer) concerning the cleanup of the Mays Properties, Inc., Silver Lane Site (Site).

   The Site is approximately 3.3 acres in area and consists of approximately 3.2 acres presently owned by Mays Properties, Inc. (Site Owner), located at 1143 Silver Lane, McKees Rocks, Robinson Township, Allegheny County, PA and a small adjacent area less than .1 acre owned by Showcase Properties, Inc.

   Beginning in approximately 1977 and continuing until approximately 1979, Beazer's predecessor, Koppers Company, Inc., contracted with Mays Corporation to remove and dispose of various of its waste streams, including maleic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride residue and phthalic anhydride benzoic (lights). Aristech's predecessor, USS Chemicals, contracted with Mays Corporation to remove and dispose of various of its waste streams from the USS Chemicals plant located on Neville Island, Allegheny County, PA. These waste streams included maleic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride residue, phthalic anhydride benzoic and polyester waste.

   In 1995, Department investigations disclosed the illegal disposal by Mays Corporation of various waste streams at the Site, including solidified benzoic lights and phthalic anhydride heavy ends the Department believes to have been generated at the Koppers' western PA plants and at USS Chemicals' Neville Island plant.

   In 1995, Beazer and Aristech, in cooperation with the Department, removed from the Site and properly disposed of, surficial solidified benzoic lights and phthalic anhydride heavy ends. Following that waste removal, Beazer and Aristech performed a characterization of Site soil and groundwater seeps. Results of the investigation indicated that benzoic acid and naphthalene were present in soils at the Site in elevated concentrations. Other chemicals, including phthalic acid, benzene, phenol, pyrene, arsenic and other metals, as well as other VOCs and semi-VOCs, were present at detectable concentrations in the soil in various areas of the Site. In addition, at that time, two seeps located at the southwestern edge of the Site were sampled and found to have detectable levels of aluminum, suspended solids, benzene, iron, manganese, benzoic acid and phthalic acid.

   Subject to the terms of the CO & A, Beazer and Aristech propose to implement a Closure Plan at the Site to resolve their potential liability under HSCA and CERCLA for any past, present or future response costs for releases or potential releases of hazardous substances. The Department has approved the Closure Plan. The Closure Plan includes a schedule for closure activities and calls for, among other things: (a) the excavation and proper disposal of Site waste; (b) the installation of erosion and sediment control facilities; (c) the relocation of a small amount of waste currently on an adjacent property; (d) construction of ditches to convey surface water run-off around the limits of the waste; (e) the placement of soil buttress fills and soil covers; (f) the revegetation of the cover system and other disturbed areas; and (g) the monitoring of seeps and water in stormwater ditches related to the Site.

   The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO & A between the Department and Aristech and Beazer. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO & A for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO & A if the comments concerning the CO & A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO & A inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Aristech and Beazer shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Aristech and Beazer, in writing, that this CO & A is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO & A or that no such comments were received.

   Copies of the CO & A are available for inspection at the Department's Southwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Terry Goodwald, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. Further information may be obtained by contacting Goodwald at (412) 442-4000. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.

PREAMBLE 2


The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (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, shall 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 refuse 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.
