LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995

PREAMBLE 3


The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of 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.

   For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Hazleton, PA 18201
Borough of West Hazleton Luzerne

   Description: The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (Authority), which administers the Commonwealth's State Revolving Fund, is intended to be the funding source for this project. The Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority proposes to upgrade its 8.92 mgd wastewater treatment facility to comply with the biological nutrient reduction (BNR) requirements imposed on the Authority as a result of the implementation of the Chesapeake Bay Tributary Strategy. The facility's existing treatment process will be converted to a tertiary treatment process to meet the more stringent total nitrogen and total phosphorus effluent discharge and loading limits. The proposed project will not increase the NPDES permitted discharge flow from the Authority's wastewater treatment facility. The proposed project also includes the rehabilitation of the Authority's four existing pumping stations, commonly known as the Gashouse, Locust Street, Diamond Avenue and Cranberry Pumping Stations. The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the project and the information received has not identified any significant, adverse environmental impact resulting from this proposal. The Department hereby categorically excludes this project from the State Environmental Review Process.

   Description: The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (Authority), which administers the Commonwealth's State Revolving Fund, is intended to be the funding source for this project. The Mountaintop Area Joint Sanitary Authority proposes to construct a three million gallon above-grade, metal framed, glass lined equalization tank at its existing wastewater treatment facility located in Dorrance Township, Luzerne County. The tank, along with wastewater piping utilized in the treatment process, is being constructed to address an identified design issue in the Authority's previously completed biological nutrient reduction project at its wastewater treatment facility. The proposed project will enable the wastewater treatment facility to better manage wastewater flows received at the facility during peak, wet-weather flow periods. The proposed project will not increase the NPDES permitted discharge flow from the Authority's wastewater treatment facility. The Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) review of the project and the information received has not identified any significant, adverse environmental impact resulting from this proposal. The Department hereby categorically excludes this project from the State Environmental Review Process.
