HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP

Under the act of October 18, 1988

Proposed Response
Gilbert Darnley/Petroleum Recovery Services Site, Greene Township, Beaver County.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), is proposing a response action for the Darnley Site, located at 105 Francis Drive, Greene Township. The Darnley Site is approximately 1 acre in size and was used for the disposal of hazardous and residual wastes.

   During an emergency action, the Department removed more than 100,000 gallons of waste from the site that was contained in drums and tanks, and also removed visible contaminated surface soils. Information collected by the Department during the emergency response show that buried wastes and contaminated subsurface soils remain on site and may possibly affect groundwater and surface water. Because groundwater is a source of drinking water for adjacent residents and surface water is used for live stock, a potential threat exists by direct contact.

   The purpose of the proposed response is to determine 1) the nature and extent of groundwater contamination, 2) the nature and extent of soil contamination, 3) the volume and nature of waste remaining onsite, 4) the potential risk posed to residential wells, and 5) the need for remedial action.

   The Department considered the following options: (1) no action, (2) restricting access by fencing the site, and (3) further investigation to characterize the site and risk posed by the site.

   Options 1 and 2 would allow potential hazardous wastes to remain onsite to possibly affect groundwater and surface waters. Additionally, no risks would be identified under these options.

   Option 2 would restrict direct contact with the waste but not qualify any risks associated with groundwater and surface water. Option 3 would characterize the nature of the risks and provide a basis for determining any remedial response action.

   The Department proposes Option 3 be implemented.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 and is available for review from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from October 2, 1997 until January 10, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Annette Paluh, Environmental Protection Specialist, PA DEP, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing on November 20, 1997 at 7 p.m. at the Green Township Municipal Building, 1128 State Route 168. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Rita Zettelmayer before November 19, 1997 by telephone at (412) 442-4183 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceeding, should call Rita Zettelmayer at (412) 442-4183 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Notice of Intent to Revise Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Operating Permit

   Under section 111(d) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing MSW landfills to control the emission of landfill gases. (See 61 FR 9905, March 12, 1996). A MSW landfill is considered an existing MSW landfill if the facility began construction, modification or reconstruction before May 30, 1991; or received waste on or after November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity available for the future deposition of waste control of landfill gases from existing landfills using best demonstrated technology.

   The Commonwealth's State Plan for implementing the EG was submitted to the EPA on July 1, 1997. In accordance with the 111(d) plan, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will enforce the requirements of the EG through the issuance of Federally Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOPS) to designated MSW landfills. Therefore, in accordance with the plan, the operating permit issued to the landfills identified, will be revised to incorporate the requirements of the EG. This revised permit will serve as the enforcement mechanism for the EG requirements.

   Copies of the proposed permit amendments and other relevant information are available for public inspection and additional information may be obtained by contacting the Regional Office.

   Interested persons may submit written comments, suggestions or objections concerning the proposed permit amendments to the regional office within 30 days of publication of this notice. Written comments submitted to the Department during the 30-day public comment period shall include the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, along with the reference number of the proposed permit. The commentator should also include a concise statement of any objections to the permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.

   The Department reserves the right to hold a public hearing on the proposed action based upon the information received during the public comment period and will provide notice of any scheduled public hearing at least 30 days in advance of the hearing. The hearing notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation where the facility is located.
