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.

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.

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

Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement

Bottle House Site City of Allentown, Lehigh County

   Under section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into de minimis settlements in the form of a Consent Order and Agreement (CO & A) with BASF Corporation; ConocoPhillips Company; E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Company; Georgia Gulf Corporation; Graver Technologies; Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.; Lyondell Chemical Company; Merck & Co., Inc.; Pharmacia Corporation; Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. and its subsidiaries Nissan Chemical America Corporation and Nissan Chemical Houston Corporation; NOVA Chemicals Corporation; Olin Corporation; Omnova Solutions Inc.; PolyOne Corporation; A. Schulman, Inc.; Stepan Company; and Syntex AgriBusiness, Inc. (Settlors). The CO & A's address the investigation and removal of hazardous substances that were left on the Bottle House Site (Site) by the Settlors. The Settlors will reimburse the Department their portion of the costs incurred to perform the site investigation/response activities at the Site.

   The Site is located at 401--451 North Front Street, Allentown, Lehigh County and consists of a large three-story brick building that was the former bottling house for the Neuweiler Brewery. Brewery operations ceased at this site in the late 1960's. The Site then became an industrial property being utilized as a warehouse and manufacturing facility, which is surrounded on three sides by family residences and by a community recreational area on the fourth side. The operations resulted in large quantities of hazardous substances and or contaminants being stored in the building. The Department alleges that the Settlors sent nominal amounts of hazardous substances and/or contaminants to the Site. The Department initiated a prompt interim response action under the HSCA on September 27, 1999. The objective of this prompt interim response action was to eliminate the immediate threat to human health and safety and the environment posed by the hazardous substances and/or contaminants that were present on the site. The response was completed on April 28, 2000, at a cost of $1,563,183.46.

   The settlements proposed in each of the CO & A's referenced above would resolve certain potential claims of the Department solely against the Settlors, for future enforcement and reimbursement of response costs incurred by the Department in addressing the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. The claims originated under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The proposed settlements would require the Settlors to pay the Department the amounts listed below for their portion of the response costs.

BASF Corporation $ 57,449.00
ConocoPhillips Company $ 13,867.00
E.I. du Pont De Nemours & Company $ 13,867.00
Georgia Gulf Corporation $ 10,908.00

A. Schulman, Inc. $ 13,867.00
Stepan Company $ 25,753.00
Syntex AgriBusiness, Inc. $ 13,867.00

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

   Copies of the CO & A's are available for inspection at the Department's Northeast Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Karen Unruh, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.

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.
