Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites For Remedial Response
Preamble
1. Background
The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) was enacted in 1988 to provide for the cleanup of Pennsylvania sites that are releasing or threatening the release of hazardous substances. Section 502(a) of HSCA requires that the Department publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a priority list of sites with releases or threatened releases for the purpose of taking remedial response. This list is called the Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites For Remedial Response (PAPL). The Department places sites on the PAPL when the Department has determined through investigation that there are releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or releases or substantial threatened releases of contaminants which present a substantial danger. In accordance with the requirements of section 502(a) of HSCA, the Hazard Ranking System (HRS; 40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A), established under the Federal Superfund Act, as amended, is utilized to rank the sites for placement on the PAPL. The HRS uses mathematical formulas that reflect the relative importance and interrelationships of the various human health and environmental factors to arrive at a final score on a scale of 0 to 100. The values are assigned using information obtained from site investigations. Section 502(a) of HSCA also directs the Department to consider its administrative, enforcement and financial capabilities when placing sites on the PAPL. The proposed listing notice is issued under HSCA section 502(c). The HRS was created by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and appears at 40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A in accordance with the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986.
2. Summary and Purpose
Placement of a site on the PAPL is used to identify sites which need further study and/or remedial response decisions to address threats to the public health, safety or the environment. The Department will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take enforcement or other actions under HSCA or other authorities, and/or to proceed directly with HSCA-funded remedial response actions and seek cost recovery after the cleanup.
Remedial response actions will not necessarily be taken in the same order as a site's ranking on the PAPL. The investigation conducted to place a site on the PAPL may not be sufficient to determine either the extent of contamination or the appropriate response actions for a site. The Department may undertake further site investigation and/or an analysis of remedial alternatives to determine appropriate response actions. The length of time needed to complete these studies will vary due to the complexity of a site. Response action decisions and implementation will proceed on individual sites regardless of the progress at other sites. Given the limited resources available in the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, the Department must carefully balance the relative needs for response at the sites it has studied. The Department may decide not to immediately proceed with a HSCA remedial action or that no remedial action is necessary.
3. Technical Evaluation Grants under Act 108
Under section 510 of HSCA, the Department may make available a reasonable sum as a grant to the governing body of the host municipality of a site where the Department is considering a remedial response. The host municipality shall use this sum solely to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the proposed remedial response. The grant shall not exceed $50,000. Information and a technical evaluation grant package may be obtained from the Department regional office in which the site is located. Refer to the Additional Information section of this notice.
A municipality will be sent grant information by the Department after a listing announcement has been published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. However, the grant will not be awarded until the proposed remedial response is available for public review. At that time, the municipality will receive the official grant award in order to proceed with the review of the Department's proposed remedial response.

F. Site Listing Summaries
The site summary for the Quakertown Foundry site is listed below. Site summaries for the first 12 sites placed on the PAPL are listed in the Pennsylvania Bulletins published on May 5, 1990, September 15, 1990, May 4, 1991, October 26, 1991, June 13, 1992, August 1, 1992, December 10, 1994 (PORTER), June 3, 1995 (SHALER) and October 28, 1995 (OLIVER).
Quakertown Foundry The Quakertown Foundry Site is located at 400 Mill Street in Quakertown, Bucks County. The site lies within both the Borough of Quakertown and Richland Township. The site covers approximately 22 acres and was the location of former foundry operations, dating back to 1923. It has had various ownerships throughout its history. Foundry operations ceased at the site in 1984 and the foundry buildings were demolished in 1987.
The primary wastes produced through foundry operations included casting sands, slag and baghouse dust. Foundry wastes were presumably disposed of on the rear portion of the site and have come to be located throughout the foundry site. Two tar dip pits also remain onsite. A neighboring midget football field is included in the definition of the site since fill material from the foundry was utilized in the construction of the field. A municipal supply well is located approximately 100 feet northwest of the site.
Baghouse dust samples have been found to contain significant quantities of leachable lead. Groundwater samples from a perched water table lying beneath the site have indicated lead levels above maximum contaminant levels and, although the municipal supply well does not currently show any site-related contamination, pump tests have indicated that there may be a connection between the perched water table beneath the site and the aquifer from which the municipal supply well takes its water.
Soil samples have indicated very high lead levels. From samples taken at surface level and subsurface, it has been calculated that over 87,000 cu. yds. of contaminated fill exists at the Quakertown Foundry Site.
The Department conducted a Prompt Interim Response in December, 1992, during which an 8-foot high chain-link fence was constructed around the perimeter of the foundry site and the municipal football field.

Permit modification proposed under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904) and residual waste management regulations for a general permit to process or beneficially use residual waste other than coal ash.
Central Office: Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, 14th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301.
General Permit Numbers: WMGR002, WMGR002D001 and WMGR002D002.
The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management proposes to modify General Permits WMGR002, WMGR002D001 and WMGR002D002, which were issued on February 4, 1994, March 17, 1995 and February 13, 1996, respectively, for the beneficial use of paper and pulp mill wastewater treatment sludge as a soil additive to facilitate revegetation on disturbed land at permitted and at abandoned mine sites. The Department proposes to add a condition that will require permittees to submit a chemical analysis for each new source of paper and pulp mill wastewater treatment sludge to the Department no less than 15 days prior to waste application. Permittees would be able to apply the new source of waste in accordance with the permit after the 15 day period, unless otherwise instructed by the Department.
The Department is authorized under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), and section 287.611(a) of the Residual Waste Management Regulations to issue or modify general permits for any category of beneficial use or processing of residual waste on a regional or Statewide basis when the Department determines that such use or modification will not harm or present a threat of harm to the health, safety or welfare of the public or the environment, and the activity can be adequately regulated using standard permit conditions. As currently written, the above referenced permits do not have a mechanism to assure that new sources of paper and pulp mill wastewater treatment sludge are in compliance with the permits prior to land application. The Department has determined that requiring permittees to submit chemical analyses of new sources of paper and pulp mill wastewater treatment sludge is necessary to prevent the land application of wastes that may not be protective of the soils of the Commonwealth, and the environment in general.
Comments concerning the proposed general permit modification may be directed to Ronald C. Hassinger, Chief, General Permits and Beneficial Use Section, Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472. Persons interested in obtaining more information about the general permit modification may contact the Division at (717) 787-7381. TDD users may contact the Division through the Pennsylvania Relay Service 1 (800) 654-5984. Public comments must be submitted within 60 days of this notice and may recommend additional revisions to, approval of, or disapproval of the proposed permit modification.
