Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
East Union Township
Schuylkill CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), initiated a prompt interim response (response) at the East Union Township PCB Contamination Site (Site). The site, which consisted of soil which was contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) oil as the result of an illegal transformer salvage operation, is located in East Union Township, Schuylkill County.
On August 2, 1996 Department personnel inspected the Site and obtained soil and surface water samples for PCB analysis. Analysis confirmed the presence of PCBs in site soil and surface water.
After determining that Site conditions constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response. On August 14, 1996, prior to the Department undertaking the response, a potentially responsible party came forward and agreed to undertake the prompt action interim response which was chosen by the Department. The prompt action interim response chosen by the Department consisted of the excavation and disposal of all visually contaminated soil found on site. The Department also considered taking no action at the site. However, due to the imminent threat to human health and safety and the environment, this option was rejected.
The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before January 3, 1997 to the attention of Woodrow Cole, Compliance Specialist--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for November 19, 1996, at 10 a.m. at the Department's Northeast Regional Office in Wilkes-Barre. Persons wishing to present oral com- ments must register on or before November 12, 1996 by calling Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511. If no person registers to present oral comments by November 12, 1996, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Woodrow Cole.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this no- tice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90 day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under that act. Questions concerning this site may be directed to Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511, or Michael Ferrence, Assistant Counsel, at (717) 826-2519.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing referenced above and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Woodrow Cole directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Scott Township
Lackawanna CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), initiated a prompt interim response (response) at the Stagecoach Inn Abandoned Chemicals Site (site). The site, which was an abandoned hotel, is located in an area off of Rovinsky Road in Scott Township, Lackawanna County.
On May 29 and June 14, 1996, Department personnel inspected the site subsequent to a complaint filed with the Department. During the inspections, Department personnel noted the presence of 83 16-oz. bottles of embalming fluid, several 55-gallon fiber drums of unknown material and numerous other containers of unknown material. It was determined by the Department that the embalming fluids were characteristically hazardous and toxic.
After determining that site conditions constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response. On August 16, 1996, the Department conducted a prompt action interim response which consisted of the removal and disposal of those chemicals found onsite. The Department also considered taking no action at the site. However, due to the imminent threat to human health and safety and the environment, this option was rejected.
The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711.
Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before January 3, 1997 to the attention of Woodrow Cole, Compliance Specialist--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for November 19, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Northeast Regional Office in Wilkes-Barre. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before November 12, 1996 by calling Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511. If no person registers to present oral comments by November 12, 1996, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Woodrow Cole.
