Proposed Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Giordano Waste Materials Site
Butler 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), proposes to initiate an interim response action at the Giordano Waste Materials Site (site) located in Butler Township, Schuylkill County.
The site is located 1/2 mile south of the Borough of Ashland, off of TR#417 (Germanville Road). The property is a former battery recycling facility on a 7.7 acre parcel of land in Butler Twp., Schuylkill County, PA. The facility is now abandoned. Site features include an abandoned building which was utilized for aluminum and lead smelting, waste/ash piles and an underground storage tank.
Under a previous response action, the Department removed hazardous surface waste from this site. Chemical analysis indicates that the site building and soils are also contaminated with lead at levels which the Department considers to be hazardous.
The response action objective established by the Department for the Giordano Waste Materials site is to prevent human exposure to site media with concentrations of contaminants above health based levels.
To achieve this objective, the following alternatives were considered:
* Alternative 1: Removal of waste, debris, soil and building material with lead levels in excess of 10,000 mg/kg, offsite disposal of the material removed, and covering the excavated areas of the site with clean soil and/or mine spoil material and stabilizing the site (erosion control and revegetation). The remedy would not be a permanent remedy, since the mobility, toxicity and volume of the contaminants would not be significantly altered, although the direct contact pathway would be reduced.
* Alternative 2: Removal of waste, debris, soil and building material with lead levels in excess of 5,000 mg/kg, offsite disposal of the material removed, and covering excavated areas of the site with clean soil and/or mine spoil material. The remedy would not be a permanent remedy, since the mobility, toxicity and volume of the contaminants would not be significantly altered, although the direct contact pathway would be reduced.
* Alternative 3: Removal of waste, debris, soil and building material with lead levels in excess of 1,000 mg/kg, offsite disposal of the material removed, and stabilizing the site. This remedy would remove a significant amount of contaminated soil but would not address the physical hazard presented by the site processing building.
* Alternative 4: Removal of waste, debris, soil and building material with lead levels in excess of 500 mg/kg, offsite disposal of the material removed, and stabilizing the site. This remedy would remove a significant amount of contaminated soil but would not address the physical hazard presented by the site processing building.
* Alternative 5: Removal of waste debris, soil and building material with lead levels in excess of 500 mg/kg, onsite solidification and offsite disposal of the material removed and stabilizing the site. This remedy would remove a significant amount of contaminated soil but would not address the physical hazard presented by the site processing building.
* Alternative 6: Removal of all site surface waste/debris piles and building contents along with the demolition of the contaminated site building. All waste and demolition material will be sent to an offsite disposal facility. The entire fenced in area of the site would be covered with clean soil and/or mine spoil material and stabilized (erosion control, topsoil addition and revegetation). This alternative would significantly reduce the potential for contact with the contaminated soil onsite and be protective to the community by eliminating the nuisance and physical threats presented by the processing building.
* Alternative 7: No further action. This alternative provides a baseline against which other alternatives can be compared. Under this alternative, no activities would be implemented at the Site. Because no response actions would be implemented with this alternative, neither the human nor the environmental risks associated with the Site would decrease.
Proposed Response
The Department's proposed response to address the contaminated media at the Site is Alternative 6. This response will be conducted as a HSCA Interim Response action. The Department's goal is to remove the threats of direct contact and offsite migration of contamination by the removal and disposal of surface wastes and demolition of the unstable site building along with the placement of a soil and vegetative cover over the entire site.
The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review. 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 March 7, 1997 to the attention of Joseph Iannuzzo, Project Officer, 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 January 29, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the Butler Township Municipal Building which is located on Route 61 in Butler Township.
Persons wishing to present oral testimony must register on or before January 22, 1997, by calling Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2589. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered or the location of the hearing should contact Joseph Iannuzzo. The Department may cancel the hearing if no one registers to present comments by the above date.
The Department is providing this notice under section 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 that act. Questions concerning this site may be directed to Joseph Iannuzzo at (717) 826-2589.
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 Joseph Iannuzzo directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1(800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
