HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Notice of Prompt Interim Response

Bob's Service Center Site

Ridgway Township, Elk County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has conducted a response action for the Bob's Service Center Site (site). The site is located in Ridgway Township, Elk County, PA approximately 1 mile east of the Borough of Ridgway on the east side of Pennsylvania Route 120. The site is an approximately .5 acre, irregular lot with a 40 × 40 foot steel building and three bay cement block building, that was a former gasoline dispensing and service garage. At one time, six underground tanks were located at the site. At the time of the response, two underground tanks remained in place at the site.

   One of the two remaining tanks was reportedly used to store waste oil, as fuel in a furnace in the service garage at the site. Hazardous substances are present in the waste oil in the tank, and have leaked into the surrounding soil.

   For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the site:  1)  no action; and 2)  excavation and removal of the waste oil tank, contents and surrounding 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 proposed because it would, in the more cost-effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances, and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment.

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

   The administrative record will be open for comment from August 28, 1999, until November 26, 1999. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James W. Weaver, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.

   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 James Weaver at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before October 1, 1999, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if individuals have registered should contact James Weaver. If no one registers to present oral comments before October 1, 1999, the public meeting 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 James Weaver at (814) 332-6648 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
