Borough of Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County
The Department has completed its review of the Borough of Orwigsburg's Act 537 Special Study, dated October 1997 and revised on November 17, 1997. The Department has found that the Final Special Study is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. The Planning Area included under the Special Study is the entire Borough of Orwigsburg.
Planning Issues The Special Study was written to address the planning issues associated with the installation of new trunk line sewers and collector sewers to relieve hydraulically overloaded sanitary sewers in the Borough. Specifically, the Study recommends:
* The construction of a new 12 inch and 18 inch trunk line to carry most of the flow from the Long Avenue area to the existing 12 inch trunk line at Ridge Road. The new trunk line will act as a relief line, for the existing sanitary sewers which will remain in service; and
* The construction of an extension of the 8 inch sanitary sewer along South Liberty Street from Manhole 260 at the Ridgeview Development to Manhole 100, located at Ridge Road/South Wayne Street.
I/I Report and Trunk Line Study Included as part of the Special Study are two additional reports:
* The first report was titled: ''The 1995--1996 Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) Elimination Program Final Report (Final Report). Table I of the Final Report lists:
(1) The defects;
(2) Their locations;
(3) The estimated quantity of I/I that has been eliminated/will be eliminated from entering the sewerage conveyance system from each defect; and
(4) The recommendations on what needs to be done.
* The second report was titled: ''The Trunk Line Study, dated December 1996.'' From a conceptual standpoint, the Department concurs with the report's recommended alternative, known as Alternative B. The alternative's scope addresses the installation of new trunk line sewers and collector sewers to relieve hydraulically overloaded sanitary sewers in the Borough.
The Department's review of the Update has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposals.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.2(a)) and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold the Borough responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative, as stated in the Executive Summary (Page ES-2 of the Special Study).

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Interim Response
Fayette Equipment Site
South Union Township
Fayette 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 proposed an interim response at the Fayette Equipment site, off of Jamison Lane, South Union Township, Fayette County.
The site consists of 3 acres, including the former location of a scrap metal junkyard that operated on 1 acre. Junkyard operations included recycling of lead cores from automobile batteries. During its time of operation, thousands of car batteries were manually cracked open on the ground and the lead cores were reclaimed. This practice resulted in crushed battery casings scattered throughout the site and a large amount of crushed and broken battery casings piled in the southwest end of the junkyard area. Contamination from the battery casings has migrated into a nearby wetland and the shallow groundwater zone beneath the site.
The Department conducted an investigation and determined the site related contaminant, lead, is leaching from the battery casings. This ongoing release of a hazardous substance poses a direct threat to individuals coming into contact with the waste, contaminated soil and contaminated sediments.
The objective of the interim response is to protect public health, safety and the environment by excavation, offsite treatment and disposal of the wastes and contaminated soils. These materials will be sent to a treatment facility to render them nonhazardous and then to a permitted landfill for proper disposal. After excavation activities are complete, the site will be revegetated and any damage done to the onsite wetlands will be corrected.
The Department considered the following alternatives for remediation of this site: 1) No Action, 2) Complete Excavation/Offsite Treatment and Disposal, 3) Institutional Controls--Capping with Deed Notices--Long-Term Monitoring, 4) Institutional Controls--Fencing with Deed Notices.
Alternative 2 is proposed because it is feasible and protects human health and the environment to the extent possible. This alternative will address the contaminated wastes, soils and sediments and remove the threats to the public and the environment.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 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 is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745. The Administrative Record is also located at the Department's Uniontown Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Uniontown, PA 15401. The Administrative Record is available for review at both these locations from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from January 10, 1998 to April 10, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Terry Goodwald at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 or by delivering them to either Department Office mentioned above.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Thursday, February 5 at the Department's Uniontown Office, 100 New Salem Road, Uniontown, PA 15401. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Rita Zettelmayer before February 3, 1998 at (412) 442-4000 or in writing to Terry Goodwald, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the meeting and/or comment, and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact Caitlyn Murphy directly at (412) 442-4000 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Prompt Interim Response
Suchko Fire Site
Forward Township, Allegheny 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 initiated a prompt interim response at the Suchko Fire Site, Forward Township, Allegheny County. This response has been taken under section 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)).
The Suchko Fire Site is located in southern Allegheny County along Route 51, south of Route 136 and north of Rostraver. The site is approximately 33 acres in size situated in a mixed rural/commercial area within several hundred feet of homes, businesses and the Rostraver Airport. The site includes a deep ravine of approximately 4 acres where waste tires were disposed over an older fly ash dumpsite.
A fire started on October 17, 1997 consuming 1/3 of the approximately 300,000 tires on the site. Hazardous substances were released into the environment, impacting air quality, soils and water quality onsite and offsite. Becket's Run, one of its tributaries and the Monongahela River were impacted.
The release of hazardous materials posed a health threat to individuals exposed to the smoke plume and those in contact with contaminated soils and water. The release also threatened drinking water supplies and posed a threat to persons using surface waters for recreational and agricultural purposes.
The Department began its response on October 17, 1997, to protect human health and the environment. Heavy equipment was used to excavate burning tires and install fire breaks. Containment ponds, silt fences, straw bales and booms were installed to control surface water and sediment runoff. Sediments at the confluence of Becket's Run and the Monongahela River were removed and disposed of. Sediments collected in the containment pond were covered with site soils.
The Department in consultation with other emergency management leaders considered the following alternatives during the response: 1) No Department action; 2) Assist fire fighters with the excavation of burning materials, the installation of fire breaks, the control of water and sediment run-off, the disposal of offsite contaminated sediments and the closure of onsite sediments in containment ponds; 3) The Departmental excavation of burning materials and tire removal, water and sediment run-off control, surface water collection and treatment, onsite and offsite contaminated sediment removal and disposal.
Alternative 2 was chosen because it protected public health and the environment to the extent possible, and eliminated more costly alternatives that added no increase in protection to the public health and the environment.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA. The Administrative Record containing the information which 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's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from January 10, 1998 to April 10, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Terry Goodwald at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745 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. The Department has scheduled this hearing on Tuesday, February 3, 1998 at the Forward Township Fire Hall. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Rita Zettelmayer before January 30, 1998 at (412) 442-4183 or in writing to the Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so, should contact Rita Zettelmayer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Proposed Interim Response
William Taylor Estate Site
Wheatland Borough, Mercer County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is proposing to implement an interim response at the William Taylor Estate Site. The William Taylor Estate Site is an inactive, unpermitted municipal and industrial waste disposal site located in the Borough of Wheatland, 0.5 mile south of the city of Sharon, PA. The site can be divided into two halves. The northern half contains a large, 31-foot high mound of waste (northern waste pile) approximately 2 acres in area. Waste is exposed in several erosion gullies near the top of the mound. The southern half of the site (southern disposal area), where the majority of the disposal activities occurred, contains approximately 10 acres of industrial and municipal wastes, and includes areas that are devoid of vegetation.
The site was owned and operated as a landfill by William Taylor from 1958 until his death in 1969. The site was then acquired from his estate, approximately 1 to 2 years after his death, by his son, Alvin Taylor. Alvin Taylor continued to operate the facility until at least the early 1970s. Municipal waste and wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the site. Those wastes include liquid, paint, oil (with PCBs) and volatile wastes. Actual waste management practices at the site during the time of its operation are not well documented. However, remnants of a slag processing structure located on the northern half of the site lend credence to reports that the site was also used to process and derive metals from waste slag, perhaps originating from nearby steel companies. The waste pile on the northern half of the site may consist largely of wastes from the slag processing efforts. Written correspondence and photographs of site operations in Department files indicate that at least some wastes were burned at the site. The site is currently inactive.
The William Taylor Estate Site lies within the 100-year flood plain of the Shenango River and is prone to frequent flooding. The river flows in a southerly direction along the northern section on the western side of the site, then turns east and flows along the southern end of the property. There are several tributaries to the Shenango River that flow across sections of the site before discharging to the river. Groundwater at the site occurs under water table conditions in the silt and sand, and gravel units. This shallow groundwater zone is underlain by a green-gray clay layer that was encountered throughout the site. This clay layer appears to be present beneath the entire site and most likely represents a confining layer that isolates deeper aquifers from the water table aquifer. This clay layer was found to be at least 20 feet thick. The direction of groundwater flow in the water table aquifer is generally toward the Shenango River. Localized mounding of the groundwater in the northern disposal area is expected to influence the flow to a radial pattern in the immediate vicinity of the mound, mimicking the surface topography.
In 1990, the Federal Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) reviewed available site information and recommended, among other things, that access to the landfill area be restricted to prevent the public from being exposed to hazardous substances at the site. Based largely upon that recommendation, between April 29 and May 17, 1991, the Department erected a chain-link fence, with gates, between the portion of the site where wastes were visible and the baseball fields. The fence was connected to an existing fence on an adjacent property to the site's north, and ran south to the Shenango River.
Because of the past waste disposal practices at the site, soils, wastes, surface water, sediments and groundwater at the site have become contaminated with various hazardous substances, including, but not limited to, dichloroethane, dichloroethene, trichloroethene, dichloroethene, trichlorobenzene, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), lead, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes and trichlorobenzene. The extent of site-related contamination was documented by the Department during a 1997 site study.
The Department has developed the following response action objectives for the cleanup of the site:
* Reduce direct contact risks to unauthorized site trespassers and to authorized site visitors (that is, utility line inspectors and workers).
* Mitigate migration via the surface water (that is, erosion) and air pathways of hazardous substances to offsite human receptors in nearby businesses and in the adjacent ballfields.
* Reduce the risk of waste and hazardous substance migration into the Shenango River in the event of a river flood event.
* Mitigate the migration from the site of hazardous substances into the groundwater and surface water (specifically the Shenango River and wetlands nearby the site).
* Minimize adverse impacts to onsite environmental receptors, with particular emphasis on wetland biota.
The Department has considered four alternatives for the cleanup to meet the response action objectives at the site:
Alternative 1--Alternative 1 would consist of adding to the existing site fencing; establishing deed restrictions to prevent intrusive activities at the site; and performing monitoring and periodic site reviews.
Alternative 2--Soil Cover--Alternative 2 would consist of the components of Alternative 1; consolidation of contaminated materials from nondisposal areas into disposal areas; consolidation and regrading of disposal areas to protect against flood erosion; and capping of consolidation disposal areas with 2 feet of soil and revegetation. Alternative 2 has been further subdivided into Alternatives 2A--Soil Cover and 2B--Soil Cover with Contingent Groundwater Treatment.
Alternative 3--Encapsulation--Alternative 3 would consist of the components of Alternative 1; consolidation of contaminated materials from nondisposal areas into disposal areas; consolidation and regrading of disposal areas to protect against flood erosion; installation of a vertical barrier around entire disposal area; installation of an impermeable cap over the disposal area; and revegetation.
Alternative 4--Soil Cover, Vertical Barriers, Groundwater Treatment--Alternative 4 would consist of the components of Alternative 1; consolidation of contaminated materials from nondisposal areas into disposal areas; consolidation and regrading of disposal areas to protect against flood erosion; installation of a downgradient vertical barrier; capping of disposal areas with 2 feet of soil; revegetation; and extraction of groundwater behind the vertical barrier, treatment by precipitation/filtration and UV oxidation and discharge to the Shenango River.
Under section 505 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505) the Department proposes to implement Alternative 2B as an interim response at the William Taylor Estate site. Alternative 2B is proposed because it would protect, in the most cost-effective manner, the public and environmental receptors from risks associated with site-related hazardous substances.
Alternative 2B would consist of excavation of contaminated materials from hot spots throughout the site; consolidation of the hot spot materials in the two onsite disposal areas; consolidation and regrading of the northern waste pile and southern disposal area to protect against flood erosion; installation of a surface water management system to direct and control run-on and run-off, reduce water infiltration and deter cover erosion; capping of the consolidated disposal areas (the northern waste pile and southern disposal area) with common fill followed by topsoil and vegetation to prevent direct contact with contaminated materials, control erosion and eliminate fugitive dust; and contingency groundwater treatment (to be implemented in the event that post-closure monitoring or modeling demonstrates that site groundwater discharges are leading to an exceedance of the Pennsylvania Water Quality Standards in the Shenango River). The capital cost for Alternative 2B is estimated to be $1,605,336, unless the contingency groundwater treatment is implemented. In that case the capital cost would increase by an estimated $66,414 to approximately $1,671,750.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the 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 by previous appointment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Please call (814) 332-6340 to schedule a date and time to review the administrative record.
The administrative record will be open for review and comment until April 10, 1998 (90 days from the January 10, 1998, date of the publication of this Notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin). Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to the site Project Manager, Mark Gorman, 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 the dates of February 9 and March 11, 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 on or before February 27, 1998, by telephone at (814) 332-6945 or in writing at the Northwest Regional Office. If no person requests to present oral comments, by the date specified above, 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 above.
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 at the telephone number noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
