SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT
PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office, Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (717) 826-2553.
Washington Township, Lehigh County
The following announcement was previously published in the November 15, 1997 edition of the Pennsylvania Bulletin. At that time, the printer mistakenly replaced the word ''now'' with the word ''not'' found in the first sentence of the second paragraph of the announcement. The text of that announcement has been reprinted and follows in its correct form and now replaces the item improperly published in the November 15, 1997 edition of the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
The Department has reviewed the Plan Update Revision, dated November 30, 1994 (received December 1, 1994), with additional information dated August 1, 1996 (received August 2, 1996), February 7, 1997 (received February 10, 1997), March 3, 1997 (received March 4, 1997), April 25, 1997 (received April 28, 1997) and September 26, 1997 (received September 29, 1997), as submitted by Keystone Consulting Engineers, Inc.
The Department's review has found that the Plan Update Revision is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
Washington Township proposes to implement Alternate 4 as discussed in the text of the Plan Update Revision. Alternate 4 calls for the construction of wastewater collection and conveyance systems to eliminate on-lot wastewater disposal system malfunctions in the project area. The proposed systems will serve the Villages of Emerald and Slatedale (298 edu's at 100,000 gpd), the Primerose Heights/SR0873 Area (70 edu's at 40,000 gpd) and the Riverview Acres Area (145 edu's at 52,000 gpd). The Equivalent Dwelling Unit (edu) counts for each of these areas include existing residential and commercial structures and vacant lots adjacent to the proposed sewer system and existing properties.
Wastewater from the previously identified areas of Washington Township will be conveyed to the Slatington Borough Authority's (Authority) Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Although the Authority's facilities are currently under a sewer connection prohibition, the Department will allow the connection of the proposed Washington Township collection/conveyance system to the Authority's facilities. The connection of the Washington Township system will be permitted as an exception to the current sewer connection prohibition under § 94.57 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code § 94.57). This section of the Department's regulations permits connections to overloaded facilities in order to eliminate public health hazards. The Department considers the currently malfunctioning on-lot wastewater disposal systems, located in the proposed Washington Township Wastewater Collection/Conveyance System's service area, to be public health hazards.
The previously described construction activities are proposed to be financed through a low-interest loan from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
In addition to the previously described construction activities, Washington Township proposes to implement an on-lot sewage management program. The program and its enabling municipal ordinance will provide for the further regulation, inspection, maintenance and rehabilitation of on-lot wastewater disposal systems within Washington Township.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 71), the Department will hold Washington Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update Revision's chosen wastewater disposal alternative. Implementation of the Plan Update's chosen wastewater disposal alternative must be performed within the time frames indicated in the Plan Update Revision's most current Schedule of Implementation.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update Revision must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response
Modern Glass Technology Corporation Site
Pleasant Township, Warren County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), has completed a prompt interim response at the Modern Glass Technology Corporation site (site). The site is located at 4 Harmer Street in Pleasant Township, Warren County, PA. The site is in the Warren County Industrial Complex (WCIC), and consists of an 8x8 foot shed (Shed), its contents and any contamination resulting from the migration of the contents of the Shed. The Warren County Development Association (WCDA) owns approximately 3.95 acres within the WCIC. The site is located on the WCDA property.
Modern Glass Technology Corporation (Modern) manufactured components used in the semi-conductor industry in the WCIC, in space leased from the WCDA, from at least 1994 until 1996. Robert G. Yorks (Yorks) is president of Modern. Since at least 1994, Yorks has been directly involved with the management of Modern's activities and personally participated in the operations of Modern, including the generation, storage and handling of all wastes, including hazardous wastes. Yorks ceased operating Modern on the WCDA property in October, 1996, and moved its operations out of this Commonwealth. As of March, 1997, Yorks had consolidated and moved all hazardous wastes remaining in Modern's leased facility to the Shed. Yorks and Modern abandoned the Shed contents in 1997.
In April, 1997, the Department issued an Order to Yorks and Modern to properly dispose the hazardous wastes in the Shed. In June, 1997, the Department filed a Petition to Enforce the Order of April, 1997, in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (Court). In July, 1997, the Court issued an order requiring Yorks to, among other things, properly dispose the hazardous wastes stored in the Shed. Yorks did not comply with the Court's order. During a July, 1997 inspection of the site, the Department determined that 11 containers of hazardous wastes remained in the Shed.
The routes of exposure of greatest concern for trespassers and workers at the WCIC included inhalation, ingestion and dermal absorption of hazardous substances that could have been released through container rupture, spillage or leakage.
The main objectives for the prompt interim response at the site were:
1) To protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact risks associated with site-related hazardous substances; and
2) To eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from the containerized waste.
The Department considered two alternatives for the prompt interim response at the site:
Alternative 1
A ''No Action'' alternative provided a baseline for comparison to other alternatives. Because no action would be implemented, any present or future risks to human health, safety or the environment would remain unchanged.
Alternative 2
This alternative involved the removal and disposal of containerized wastes in the Shed at a permitted off-site facility.
The Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response at the site. Alternative 2 was selected because it would, in the most cost effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from the risks associated with the hazardous substances at the site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for, and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from December 6, 1997, until March 6, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to the site Project Manager, Christine Dougherty, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may submit oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department will schedule a hearing between January 5 and February 4, 1998, if requested by one or more members of the public. Persons wishing to present comments at a hearing must register with the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Steve Curcio before January 28, 1998, by telephone at (814) 332-6945 or in writing to the Northwest Regional Office. If no person requests to present oral comments by the date specified, a hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if a hearing will be held, should contact Steve Curcio at the telephone number noted.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Steve Curcio or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
