Opening of the Administrative Record and Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Leighton Industries Site
Borough of Phoenixville, Chester CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Leighton Industries Site. The site is located at 40 South Second Avenue, Phoenixville Borough, Chester County.
The site consists of a 7.5 acre property which was abandoned in 1993. The site has been under investigation by the Department since that time. Based upon the findings of the investigation the Department determined that a large number of drums containing hazardous materials had been abandoned on the site. The Department has also determined that soil on the site is contaminated by lead and a number of pits and piles were used by site occupants for waste disposal activities.
As part of the investigation activities at the site drums containing waste materials were secured in a larger container where necessary, and were moved to a lined staging area and sampled for field characterization. The field analysis revealed that drums contained acids, bases, reactive and flammable materials. A number of smaller containers were also lab packaged during the investigation. The drum handling portion of investigation activities ended in November 1995.
On March 19, 1996, a fire broke out in the main building at the site. The fire was deemed suspicious in nature. The fire destroyed a section of the building west of the drum storage area. Vandalism had been a continuing problem at the site. A number of smaller oil pails were tampered with. The Department contracted a security firm to provide 24-hour site surveillance.
The Prompt Interim Response Action consists of further stabilization and sampling followed by offsite transportation and disposal of hazardous materials in drums and labpack containers at the site as well as proper reuse, recycling or disposal of empty drums and containers offsite. The DEP chose to conduct a prompt interim response at the site because of the recent incidents involving vandalism and possible arson and the nature of materials stored there. Conditions at the site created a reasonable basis to believe that prompt action was required to protect public health and safety under 25 Pa. Code § 3.21(b).
The DEP determined that a prompt interim response under the authority of sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA was the most environmentally sound and protective alternative for the site. The Department considered taking no action at the site, and determined that taking no action would not have addressed or resolved the threat to public health and the environment associated with the site.
The administrative record (AR), which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the DEP offices located at 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. A second copy of this AR will also be made available for public inspection at the Chester County Free Library of Phoenixville located at the corner of Second Avenue and Main Street from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Written comments concerning the Department's response and the information contained in the AR will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked on or before August 12, 1996. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Dustin Armstrong, DEP Project Officer, Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-6206.
In addition, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for July 10, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. at the Phoenixville Borough Hall, 140 Church Street, Phoenixville, PA.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Rob Goldberg, the DEP Community Relations Coordinator at (610) 832-6010 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-(800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under the Act.
Notice of Proposed Interim Response
Beaulieu, Inc. Site
Pottstown, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has proposed an interim response on private property, known as the Beaulieu, Inc. Site.
Beaulieu owns two properties in the Borough of Pottstown, PA known as Pottstown Nipple Works, Inc. (PN) and Lincoln Underwear Mills, Inc. (LU). Beaulieu, Inc. declared bankruptcy in 1991 and the properties were abandoned.
The PN facility is a 1 acre parcel that contains an approximate 40,000 square foot building with an adjacent fenced yard approximately 100 square feet in area. Piping was manufactured at this facility from approximately 1946 until Beaulieu declared bankruptcy. The process involved the machine cutting of steel piping using cutting oils to reduce wear on machinery. Solvents were used to clean equipment and finished parts. There is also a good possibility that cooling oils were used inside equipment and these oils may also be present onsite.
The LU facility is located on an approximate 1 acre parcel and the building is approximately 35,000 square feet in area. The property appears to have been used only as a warehouse/distribution center. The building is empty except for forty 55-gallon drums believed to contain acetate emulsions.
The threat of release concerns approximately 400 drums at PN and 40 drums at LU. Drums have been found to contain ignitable (D001 listed) and corrosive (D002 listed) hazardous materials as well as numerous hazardous substances, as defined in the Federal Superfund Act, including acetone and toluene. The Department has determined that conditions at both properties present a threat to both the public health and the environment and has decided to conduct a response action at the sites.
Under section 501(a) of the HSCA, DEP is authorized to investigate a release or threat of release of a contaminant or hazardous substance. If the Department deems it appropriate, the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program (HSCP), may undertake further investigation or response actions to protect the public health, safety, welfare or the environment.
The conditions at both sites pose a very real threat to both public health and the environment if a release occurs. Both buildings are in poor condition and further deterioration of the properties could result in human and environmental exposures. The drums at both properties are rusting and materials have already released onto the floors. These conditions are unsafe and the possibility of future release into the environment is high unless the situation is remediated. Because the sites are located in an industrial/residential area, receptors would include children, families and workers. Pathways of concern include inhalation, ingestion and direct contact. Based on the above findings, the Department has determined that further investigation and response actions are appropriate under section 501(a) of HSCA.
The Department considered the following two alternative actions for the Beaulieu Site.
Alternative 1.--No Action
This alternative is proposed as a baseline by which to measure other alternatives. In this case the Department would take no action at the site. The wastes would remain as they are which would allow for further deterioration of drums and possible human exposure and/or environmental impact scenarios.
A ''no action'' response is not protective of the public health or the environment because hazardous substances would be left onsite.
Alternative 2.--Offsite Disposal of All Hazardous Substances
This alternative would involve sampling and consolidating similar materials so that waste groups can be arranged for offsite disposal at appropriate permitted facilities. Drums will be bulked together and drums made empty will be disposed of appropriately. At the PN facility the floor in the manufacturing room will be scraped of the sludge-like material which now covers the area. This material will be sampled for waste characteristics and will be delivered offsite for disposal at a permitted disposal facility. After this interim response action is complete the properties will be available for resale and reuse.
All of the hazardous substances will be removed from the site, thereby eliminating any threat to human health or the environment.
In evaluating these alternatives the Department considered the criteria of permanent protection of human health and the environment, feasibility, effectiveness, implementability, permanence, cost effectiveness and the alternatives' ability to meet applicable, relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs).
Alternative 1 fails to meet the criteria of human health and environmental protection. This alternative was not considered. Alternative 2 would require the Department to remove all hazardous wastes and substances from the Beaulieu Site so the properties would be remediated of any possible human or environmental threats. Alternative 2 is feasible, implementable and cost effective. Offsite disposal is one of the most common remediation technologies.
After examining the alternatives outlined above the Department proposes Alternative 2--Offsite disposal of hazardous substances. This alternative will require a State contractor to containerize, consolidate and deliver offsite all hazardous substances associated with the Beaulieu Site.
Alternative 2 will be protective of both the public health and the environment. The alternative will be executed in adherence to all ARARs. This is a cost effective alternative that is feasible, implementable, permanent and effective to the maximum extent practicable. After this interim response action the properties will be available for reuse.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information used to support DEP's decision to perform an interim response action at the Beaulieu Site is available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Southeast DEP office at Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-6000. Individuals interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Chet Zazo at (610) 832-6193 to arrange for an appointment.
An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Pottstown Public Library which is located at High and Washington Streets, Pottstown. Library business hours are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
DEP has scheduled a public hearing to be held at 7:30 p.m. on June 18, 1996, at the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce located at 238 High Street, Pottstown, PA. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Rob Goldberg, at (610) 832-6010.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the June 18, 1996, meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Rob Goldberg at the telephone number listed above to discuss how the Department of Environmental Protection may accommodate their needs.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's interim action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment which shall run from the date of this notice through August 10, 1996. Written comments should be addressed to Chet Zazo, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed above.

Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Tanoma Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the Act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 316(h) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Detection of Gas, requires that in working places where explosive or noxious gas is likely to be encounted, an approved safety lamp for the detection of such gas shall be provided for use with each machine when working, and should any indication of gas appear on the flame of the safety lamp, the person in charge shall immediately stop the machine, cut off the current at the nearest switch, and report the matter to a mine official.
Summary of the request: Tanoma Mining Company's plan calls for the use of electronic detectors to detect for oxygen deficiency in lieu of the permissible flame safety lamp for machine runners. Tanoma mining believes that an oxygen detector with alarm capabilities provides at least the same level of protection as the flame safety lamp for the machine operator. Additionally, the Tanoma Mining Company would provide its machine operators with separate electronic detectors that test the mine atmosphere for methane concentrations.
