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, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears.

Override Justification

   On November 12, 1997, the Department received comments from the Columbia County Planning Commission concerning this major permit modification application. After full review of the permit modification application and the Planning Commission's comments, the Department has made a decision to issue the permit modification. Following are the relevant comments pertaining to the application and the basis for overriding these comments:

   Comment no. 1: The County requests to be provided with a copy of all monitoring information submitted to the DEP.

   Response: All information with respect to monitoring is public information and is available for review by the County at the DEP Regional Office.

   Comment no. 2: Attachment A-2 and Attachment A-4 do not contain executed return receipts as required.

   Response: Copies of the executed return receipts were required from the applicant and were received by the DEP.

   Comment no. 3: Attachment A-3 does not contain a proof-of-publication as required.

   Response: Copies of the proof-of-publication were required from the applicant and were received by the DEP.

   Comment no. 4: The submission indicated that the reanalysis frequency contained in Table R-2 is a modification of that which was originally permitted, using information provided by the DEP subsequent to original issuance. The subsequent information was not identified nor included in this submission. Additionally, certification in lieu of sampling and analysis for interim years is acceptable only if the permit for the facility authorizes such interim year certification.

   Response: The information provided by the DEP was the result of meetings and discussions between the applicant and the DEP Waste Program Chemist. The Chemist made the suggestions, which were agreed to by the applicant and were written into the permit modification. Also, the issue of certifications in lieu of sampling and analysis has been agreed to and has been written into the permit modification.

   Comment no. 5: Attachment R-4 requests approval to dispose of municipal like residual waste for certain waste streams. For all these wastes, the applicant has stated that chemical analysis should not be required given the fact that these wastes contain known materials. The County questions the accuracy of this reasoning since some of the waste streams could contain substances in the form of dyes, curing agents and additives which are not generic and which could alter the chemical composition normally anticipated to be present in these wastes.

   Response: In order for wastes to be considered municipal like residual waste, they must be one of the categories listed on the Department's Form S. The Department has determined that for wastes to be considered for this classification they are nonimpacting. Therefore, even though these wastes may have dyes and additives, in order for them to be accepted under the Form S classification, they must be nonimpacting.

   Comment no. 6: The application indicates that an application for Air Quality Plan Approval was submitted to the DEP. A copy of the Air Quality Application was not included in the documentation submitted for our review.

   Response: Applications for Air Quality Plan Approval are submitted to the Air Quality Control Program of the Department and would not be included in an application to the Waste Management Program. Therefore, the Air Quality application was not included in the Waste Management application. The County was notified through the Act 14 Notification process that the Department received an Air Quality Plan Approval application.
