Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Springfield Township 9211 Susquehanna Trail South
Seven Valleys, PA 17360York County Plan Description: Larkin Tract, DEP Code No. A3-67958-220-3. The plan consists of a one lot commercial development on 50.65 acres with total estimated sewage flows of 3,500 gpd tributary to the Exit II Wastewater Treatment Plant. The proposed development is located at the end of 2nd Amendment Drive and the east side of the Susquehanna Trail (SR 3001) across from Glen Valley Road in Springfield Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because the proposal does not meet the consistency requirements of Chapter 71, Section 71.53(d)(4). Specifically, the receiving wastewater treatment plant's tertiary treatment is dysfunctional, and it frequently experiences permit violations as reported in the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR).
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 Chapter 3 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 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. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports 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.

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.

To establish a bank stabilization/rehabilitation project consisting of demolition and removal of failed structures, construction of a walking/access and maintenance trail, riparian buffer/bank stabilization, salvage and reconstruction of the WPA (Work Progress Administration), installation of new boulder, concrete and WPA walls, construction of a amphitheater, a marina and a temporary cofferdam to facilitate the work in the Susquehanna River. This project is intended to restore a historical shoreline and to provide added recreational benefit to the resource along with increasing the habitat potential aquatic species. This permit authorizes the demolition and removal of failing concrete structures, paving and trees. Additionally, this permit authorizes the construction, operation and maintenance of a joint public walking/access and maintenance trail consisting of 6,021 cubic yards of select fill to reshape the floodway in a terraced configuration. This shall establish the walking/access and maintenance trail and mimic the bank configurations upstream and downstream of the project reach. This area will have a 6 inch layer of topsoil applied and will have a permanent erosion control matting installed to deter future erosion. The riparian buffer/bank stabilization will consist of 4,250 linear feet of R-6 riprap placed at a 2:1 slope from the bed to the low water elevation (deflated condition). All riprap will be keyed into the bed of the river a minimum of 24 inches below bed and to a width of 36 inches. R-6 riprap will be placed at a 3:1 slope from the low water elevation to the high water elevation (inflated condition) at which point a 12 foot riparian buffer of select fill will be placed at a slope of 6:1 to an approximate elevation of 431 feet. The riparian buffer will be planted with 5,120 square yards of vegetation and will span a total length of 3,840 linear feet. The riparian buffer/bank stabilization shall extend no further than 50 linear feet riverward from the current conditions. This distance is measured from the normal high water elevation from the inflated dam conditions. Salvage and reconstruction of the WPA wall will consist of dismantling the existing wall and reconstructing it in the original location and dimensions along with re-pointing 10,328 square feet of existing joints. New boulder walls, new concrete walls and new WPA walls shall be constructed in various locations along the entire reach. These walls will be installed in locations that the existing wall does not exist or in areas where the WPA wall has collapsed beyond repair. A total of 704 linear feet of stone retaining wall/WPA wall shall be constructed and a total of 1,743 linear feet of Pre-cast concrete was shall be installed. An amphitheater consisting of seating and steps to facilitate entertainment will be place along the existing river bank. This structure is located in the floodway and will not be water dependent. The amphitheater measures 68 linear feet upstream to downstream along the river bank and will be sloped to support all requirements for public access. The marina will consist of a 16 slip, 8 feet by 20 feet floatable dock that will extend 25 feet channelward of the high water elevation. The marina will occupy 7,514 square feet of the Susquehanna River. Revegetation of all disturbed acres will include grass, erosion control matting and the installation of new trees and shrubs. This permit also authorizes a temporary cofferdam to be installed, maintained and removed in its entirety upon termination. This cofferdam shall be constructed of sand bags and will begin at station 25+00 and extend upstream to station 71+60 for a total linear distance of 4,660 linear feet and a total river impact of 1.3 acres. The cofferdam is not to exceed 6 feet in height and shall have a 6 inch land side key trench for the poly liner that is woven within the dam. There are no wetlands impacted by this project although it impacts 2.99 acres of the existing channel in the inflated condition of the fabric-dam and 1.2 acres during the deflated condition. The project will consist of a total of 14.13 acres of earth disturbance of the existing channel and floodway of the Susquehanna River. This project is located between Bainbridge Bridge and Race Street and runs along Front Street. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.
