HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Final Remedial Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company

Newberry Township, York County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), is considering initiating a final remedial action for the Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company (ISCC) site. Under the Department's proposed action an existing waterline will be extended to additional supplies potentially impacted by the groundwater contamination originating from the ISCC site, an asphalt cap will be placed over contaminated soils remaining on the site, and in-stream treatment will be provided for impacted surface waters.

   The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private water supply wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.

   ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.

   Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.

   The Department considered three alternatives: (1)  continuing with the monitoring program already in place; (2)  extending public water service to supplies potentially impacted above health-based risk levels, and (3) extending the public water service, providing an asphalt cap for the site, and providing in-stream treatment for surface water. Pumping and treating the groundwater was ruled out because it would not be practical or cost-effective. The Department prefers the third alternative because it is protective of human health and the environment, complies with regulations and is cost effective.

   This notice is provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)), and publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before July 31, 1998 by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for June 11, 1998 at 7 p.m. at the Newberry Township Administration Building, 1915 Old Trail Road, Etters, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing should register by 4 p.m. June 9, 1998 by calling Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 705-4703.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Mary Ann Fischer at the above number or through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

Under Act 2, 1995

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 (Department) 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.
