Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) 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 Administrative Agency Law).
The appeal should be sent 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. 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. 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. Individuals who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at 717-787-3483 for more information. 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. Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should contact a lawyer at once.
Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).
For actions taken on applications for pipelines that are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Any person aggrieved by this action may challenge it in an appropriate legal forum. The State and Federal courts are currently split on whether the proper forum to challenge a Department permit, authorization or approval for a facility or activity subject to the Federal Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.A. §§ 717 et seq., is the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit or the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board. See Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. Sec'y, Dep't of Envtl. Prot., 833 F.3d 360 (3d Cir. 2016); Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. Sec'y, Dep't of Envtl.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSED PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER AGREEMENT Commodore Semiconductor Superfund Site, Van Buren and Rittenhouse Rds., Audubon, PA 19403, Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (''HSCA'') proposes to enter into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (''PPA'') with 960 Rittenhouse Road Associates LLC (''Purchaser''), 338 Sun Valley Drive, Ambler, PA 19002. The property at issue is located in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County.
Purchaser intends to purchase real property located at 960 Rittenhouse Road (the 960 Property) for commercial or industrial purposes, which will result in beneficial reuse of the 960 Property. The 960 Property is located within the Commodore Semiconductor Superfund Site (''the Site''). This site was added to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (''USEPA'')'s National Priorities List in October 1989. USEPA divided the Site into three Operable Units for purposes of cleanup. Operable Unit 3 consists of the 960 Property.
In 2013, offsite investigations were performed at the 960 Property to better define upgradient contamination. The results indicated a localized volatile organic compound (''VOC'') source not associated with what was previously understood by USEPA to be the source of contamination at the Site. Previous testing and studies at the 960 Property have identified the presence of VOCs in soil and groundwater, as well as the presence of certain metals in soil.
As part of its responsibility under HSCA, the Department has incurred and will continue to incur response costs with respect to the Commodore Site and/or 960 Property, authorized and recoverable under Section 507 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.507. The Department has determined that, upon acquisition of the 960 Property, Purchaser could become a potentially responsible person within the meaning of Section 701(a) of HSCA for the releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances or contaminants at the Site and/or the 960 Property. Purchaser has represented to the Department that it has not caused, contributed to, or is not otherwise liable under environmental law for the Existing Contamination at the Site or at or from the 960 Property. Existing Contamination includes any and all releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances and contaminants identified and addressed or intended to be addressed at the Site as of the effective date of the PPA. In accordance with the proposed PPA, Purchaser intends to complete a removal action consisting of excavation and offsite disposal of soil contaminated with VOCs at the 960 Property. The Purchaser will also record an environmental covenant on the deed of the 960 Property. Purchaser desires, through the PPA, to resolve any potential liability it may have upon purchase of the 960 Property.
This notice is provided under Section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.1113, which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments.'' The PPA is available for public review and comment. An electronic copy of the proposed agreement may be requested by contacting either Ms. Christine McCarthy, (484) 250-5725 or Mr. Adam Bram, Esquire at (484) 250-5930. Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Bram may also be contacted electronically at chmccarthy@pa.gov and abram@pa.gov, respectively. A public comment period on the PPA extends for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Ms. McCarthy at the previously listed address.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the PPA if comments submitted during the public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the PPA is inappropriate or not in the public's interest.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
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 Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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.

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—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its 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 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 reuse 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 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 DEP may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides DEP's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
