S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (''HSCA''), is proposing a response action at the Limekiln PCE HSCA Site (Site) in Horsham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, has been conducting an environmental investigation of the Site. This investigation included the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located along portions of Limekiln Pike, Grindleton Lane, Davis Grove Road, and Park Road in Horsham Township. Sampling revealed levels of Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) exceeding the Safe Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Level.
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 to implement a response action at the Site under Sections 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). The Department hereby proposes the installation of a public water line, including the extension of nearby mains, and construction of laterals to connect homes to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action, supplying bottled water to affected residences, or the installation of point-of-entry whole house carbon filtration systems.
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 Carly Baker at (484) 250-5730 to arrange for an appointment. Additional copies of the Administrative Record are available for review at the Horsham Township Library, 435 Babylon Road, Horsham, PA 19044.
Pursuant to Section 506(d) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(d), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on September 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Horsham Township Community Center, located directly behind the Horsham Township Building at 1025 Horsham Road, Horsham, PA 19044. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this proposed response may do so by calling DEP Community Relations Coordinator Lynda Rebarchak, at (484) 250-5820 to register.

Members of the public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed Interim Response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with Section 506(c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(c), the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business October 29, 2012. Written comments should be addressed to Carly Baker, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401 The Department has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
