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.
Blooming Grove Township and Dingman Township, Pike County.
The Department has completed our review of the proposed Amendments to the Act 537 Studies of both Blooming Grove Township and Dingman Township. The Amendments pertain to the portion of the Hemlock Farms Development wherein the lots are located in both municipalities. The Amendments indicate that jurisdiction over the sewage systems reside with the municipality which issued the permit for the system and where the lot is taxed. The identical Amendments, which are effective at the same time for both Townships, were transmitted to the Department via Dingman Township's August 13, 1997 letter.
The Department has found that our comments have been satisfactorily addressed and hereby approves the proposed Amendments. The approval date, for both Townships Amendments to their Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plans, is November 21, 1997.
Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Location: Gratz Borough, Dauphin County, P. O. Box 305, Gratz, PA 17030.
The approved plan provided for construction or a combination low pressure/gravity collection system, takeover of an existing private sewage treatment facility and expansion of the treatment plant to a .1 mgd capacity. The Borough intends using PENNVEST funding as a primary source and RUS funding as an alternate. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
De Minimis Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Quality Container Corporation Site
City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into multiple consent order and agreements for de minimis settlements with 66 parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Quality Container Corporation (QCC) site. The QCC site is a parcel of land of approximately 1.25 acres located in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, at the intersection of Collins Street and E. Ontario Street. The surrounding area is zoned commercial and residential.
QCC operated a drum reconditioning facility from 1977 through June 1990. QCC stopped operations in July of 1990 and subsequently abandoned the site leaving roll-off containers, drums and wastes generated by facility operations. In addition, process equipment on the site was not cleaned of wastes at the time the facility was abandoned. The roll-off containers, drums, process equipment and abandoned wastes were not contained and were accessible to the public.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the QCC site, the site was deemed as a HSCA site on August 12, 1994 under section 502 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.502). The Department subsequently implemented and completed an interim response from March 20, 1995 through February 8, 1996 to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred response costs of approximately $1.8 million related to the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.
During the implementation of the interim response, the Department seized QCC records located in an office trailer at the site. The QCC records contained documentation regarding potentially responsible parties that were identified by the Department. Based on a review of the QCC records, the Department has determined that 94 potentially responsible parties are de minimis parties, and offered to enter into consent order and agreements with those parties for de minimis settlements under section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9622(g), and section 707 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.707). The Department previously published notice of settlements with 66 de minimis parties on September 27, 1997.
The Department has entered into consent order and agreements for de minimis settlements with the following two additional de minimis parties: Bronstein Container Company, Inc. ($12,573.60) and Edward E. Goldberg & Sons ($324.00).
Under the proposed consent order and agreements for de minimis settlements that are subject to this notice the Department will receive a total of $12,897.60. The total response costs recovered from all de minimis settlements to date is $227,280.68.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The proposed consent order and agreements are subject to final approval by the Department following the receipt and review of any comments submitted by the public. The proposed consent order and agreements that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment. The proposed consent order and agreements can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 555 North Lane, Suite 6010 Lee Park, Conshohocken, PA 19428 by contacting Sonja Smith at (610) 832-6003. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreements will extend for 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent order and agreements to the Department by February 11, 1998, by submitting them to April Flipse, Project Officer, at the above address.

Preamble 3
The following final reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.
