Prompt Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Phoenix Materials Site
East Franklin Township, Armstrong CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has initiated a Prompt Interim Response at the Phoenix Materials Site. This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began a Prompt Interim Response action on January 8, 1997, on properties presently held in repository by Armstrong County that were previously owned by Phoenix Materials Corporation. The properties are located at 833 Butler Avenue, Kittanning, Armstrong County, PA, and at one time were the location of the operations of the Phoenix Materials Corporation. The Phoenix Materials Site consists of several interconnecting manufacturing and office buildings located on a 3.5 acre tract across the street from the West Hills Elementary School. The Phoenix Materials Site is surrounded by a residential community with the nearest house less than 25 feet from the building complex.
Based on the ongoing release and imminent threat of release of hazardous substances at the Phoenix Materials Site (Site) and the corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department determined that it is necessary to implement a Prompt Interim Response action at the Site under its authority under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Department determined that prompt action is required to protect the public health and safety and the environment from the ongoing release and imminent threat of release of hazardous substances due to the improper storage of hazardous substances in an unsecured area. The Department's prompt interim response is addressing the removal, offsite transportation and proper disposal of the hazardous substances found at the Site.
The Department determined that a prompt interim response is necessary at the Site because of the community's actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation and dermal contact.
Because of these conditions, the Department determined a prompt interim response action should not be delayed for the length of time that it would take to formally develop and close an administrative record. Investigation of Site conditions by the Department occurred concurrently with this prompt interim response action.
The objective of the prompt interim response action to remove from the Site (a) a drum of concentrated nitric acid, (b) three drums of acidic sludge which is primarily aluminum chloride, (c) five capacitors which contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and (d) the contents of two oil baths which contain high concentrations of lead. On January 8, 1997, these hazardous substances were properly containerized, identified, and placed in a secure area onsite until disposal could be arranged. These materials will be shipped offsite during the public comment period.
Three alternative prompt interim response actions were considered by the Department for the Site. The three alternatives are:
A. Alternative 1: This is the ''no action'' alternative. Under this alternative the Department would take no action to remove the hazardous substances. The waste materials would remain on the site in the present condition.
B. Alternative 2: Under this alternative, the Department would remove and dispose of materials previously found to be hazardous, perform additional sampling to determine all characteristics required for safe disposal and to determine if additional hazardous substances are located at the Site. This alternative would also entail the removal and offsite disposal of hazardous substances which pose a potential toxicological hazard to both human and environmental receptors in and around the Site.
C. Alternative 3: Under this alternative, the Department would place a fence around the site to eliminate the the threat of direct contact.
In evaluating these alternatives, the Department considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and the environment, and the alternative's ability to meet applicable, relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements. The Department also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the prompt interim alternative.
Based on its analysis of the alternatives according to the criteria identified above, the Department determined that because it calls for the removal of hazardous substances, Alternative 2 provides more permanent protection of human health and the environment than either Alternative 1 or Alternative 3. Inasmuch as Alternative 1 would leave in place all of the Site's hazardous substances and those materials corresponding threats, Alternative 1 will provide no protection at all to human health and the environment. Inasmuch as Alternative 3 would leave in place all of the Site's hazardous substances and those materials corresponding threats with only a fence to separate the public from these threats, Alternative 3 would not significantly reduce the risk of soil and water contamination and direct contact because children would be likely to gain entry in spite of the presence of the fence.
The Department chooses Alternative 2 and believes, further, that the remedial actions called for under Alternative 2 represent the most cost-effective method to address the Site's contamination.
Thus far, the Department has overpacked the hazardous substances found on the Site in preparation for shipment. The drums were properly labeled and identified. Additional samples of the nitric acid were submitted for analysis and two underground storage tanks were sampled for potential hazardous substances.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)). 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 can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during normal business hours at the Department's office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, Pa 15222-4745, telephone (412) 442-4000.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing
On September 12, 1995, the Department of Environmental Protection conducted a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposed volatile organic compound Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) determination, plan approval issuance and State Implementation Plan (SIP) amendment for a wood door coating operation owned and operated by Mohawk Flush Doors, Inc. in Point Township, Northumberland County. The Department subsequently issued a plan approval, identified as PA-49-0001, which approved the construction of a new wood door prefinish line (consisting of nine roller coaters and three flash-off ovens) and three associated spray booths which were to use water-based coatings and which were to replace an existing prefinish line and spray booths which used volatile organic compound-based coatings.
Despite their success in using water-based coatings to coat doors in the new prefinish line and associated spray booths, Mohawk Flush Doors, Inc. has determined that it is unable to consistently meet all of the coating volatile organic compound content limitations originally proposed by the company and subsequently established by the Department as conditions of the plan approval. The Department has determined that this is due to the limited nature of the water-based coating compositional information available to Mohawk Flush Doors, Inc. at the time of plan approval application preparation and the company's failure to fully recognize the entire spectrum of water-based coatings which it would need to apply in the new prefinish line and associated spray booths until after the line and booths became operational.
Mohawk Flush Doors, Inc. has now better identified the entire spectrum of water-based coatings intended for use in the new prefinish line and associated spray booths and has proposed coating volatile organic compound content limitations which are more representative of the line and booths' true capabilities than those previously proposed and currently contained in the plan approval. After evaluating this information, the Department has determined that the revised coating volatile organic compound content limitations are still reflective of RACT. The Department has therefore made a preliminary determination to approve the proposed revised limitations.
If approved, the revised coating volatile organic compound content limitations will be incorporated into a revised plan approval and submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to the Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
The following is a summary of the revised limitations to which the Department has preliminarily determined the new prefinish line and associated spray booths should be subject:
1) The coatings used in the prefinish line shall not exceed the following limitations, as mixed (with tint pastes, dyes, ''additives,'' thinners, reducers, and the like) for application:
Maximum Maximum pounds of pounds of VOC per gallon VOC per gallon of coating of coating (with water) (minus water) washcoats 1.80 4.60 tiecoats .10 .10 sealers .60 1.10 stains .90 2.30 toners/stains .60 1.30 basecoats .15 .25 floodcoats .20 .40 wipe stains 3.60 6.68 primers .30 .50 enamels .70 1.30 waterbase topcoats 1.60 3.00 inks .70 2.90 wood protectant 6.30 6.30 UV topcoats .10 .10 2) The coatings used in the 3 spray booths associated with the prefinish line shall not exceed the following limitations, as mixed (with tint pastes, dyes, ''additives,'' thinners, reducers, etc.) for application:
Maximum Maximum pounds of pounds of VOC per gallon VOC per gallon of coating of coating (with water) (minus water) all coatings 1.5 3.0 One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed revised plan approval and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on March 6, 1997, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal.
