HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Naginey Quarry Site
Armagh Township, Mifflin County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) (HSCA) is initiating an interim response at the Naginey Quarry Site (Naginey Site) in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, PA.

   The Naginey Site is a 55 acre site located in the Village of Naginey along the south side of Naginey Road approximately 3 miles east of Route 322. The site is located in a rural area bordered on the south and east by agricultural lands, on the west by residential homes, and on the north by a recycling facility and limestone quarry. The battery casings occupy approximately 3 acres of the Naginey Site.

   The quarry was originally owned and operated by Johnstown Mining as a limestone quarry. Bethlehem Steel took over Johnstown Mining in 1917. In the 1930s the site was purchased by the Naginey family (Naginey), who continued to lease it to Bethlehem Steel. Although Naginey owned the property, Bethlehem Steel owned the building on the property. Bethlehem Steel sold the building to Krentzmans in 1972, and the 1.7 acre parcel of property was sold by Naginey to Krentzmans.

   Krentzmans had leased their property to the Independent Trading Corporation (ITC). ITC operated on the property from 1978 to December 1980. The operational procedures of ITC at the site included breaking of battery casings and/or crushing battery tops, removing the lead, and then stockpiling the cases on the plant yard. ITC also began dumping battery casing on the adjoining part of the site owned by Charles Naginey, during the late 1970s. Charles Naginey became aware of the dumping, and entered into a lease with ITC.

   The Department inspected the Naginey Site in November 1996 and observed piles of discarded battery casings and 122 drums of discarded foundry waste. On December 12, 1996, the Department sampled these substances. Laboratory results of the December 12, 1996, sampling showed the composite sample of five drums to have a total lead level of 3,760 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). A soil sample in the battery casing disposal area had total lead levels of 8,150 mg/kg. These levels of lead exceed the regulatory direct contact standard.

   The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based upon the potential and actual exposure threat to soils, sediments, surface water and groundwater posed by the disposed battery casings and drummed waste, and the actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation, and/or ingestion.

   The Department considered two alternatives: 1.) No action, which would allow the battery casings and drummed waste to remain in place. 2.) Removal of battery casings and drummed waste and arranging for the treatment and/or disposal of these substances at a permitted facility. The Department determined that the no action alternative would not be protective of human health and the environment since the risk of contact with contaminates would remain.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the 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 at the site 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 Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Armagh Township Municipal Building, 224 College Avenue, Milroy, PA 17063 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

   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 November 1, 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 September 10, 1998, at 7 p.m. at the Armagh Township Municipal Building, 224 College Avenue, Milroy, PA 17063. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., September 4, 1998, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

   If no person registers to present oral comments, by September 4, 1998, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the same number above. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.

   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 call Sandra Roderick at the above number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Mifflin County Recycling Center Site

Armagh Township, Mifflin County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) (HSCA) is initiating an interim response at the Mifflin County Recycling Center Site (MCRC Site) in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, PA.

   The MCRC Site is approximately 3 miles east of Route 322 in the Village of Naginey, and measures approximately 2.5 acres. This site is bordered on the south by Naginey Road, on the east by agricultural lands and a tributary stream to Honey Creek, on the west by an active limestone quarry, and on the north by a bedrock highwall as a result of limestone quarrying activities.

   The MCRC Site supports a masonry block building where recyclables and equipment for the operation of the Mifflin County Recycling Center are stored. Scrap metals and other recyclables are staged on this site. The waste pile is located at the north end of the MCRC Site.

   The MCRC Site was originally part of an approximate 200 acre tract owned and operated by Johnstown Mining as a limestone quarry. The property was taken over by Bethlehem Steel in 1917. In the early 1930's the quarry was purchased by the Naginey family, who continued to lease it to Bethlehem Steel. The 2.5 acre tract was then purchased from Charles Naginey by Chris Swyers, owner and operator of Mifflin County Recycling Center, in March 1987. The MCRC Site is used for the operation of a recycling center.

   Joe Krentzman and Sons Inc. (Krentzman) owns the 1.7 acre property on the south side of Naginey Road, adjacent to the site. Krentzman had leased the property to the Independent Trading Corporation (ITC). The ITC operated on the property from 1978 to December 1980. During this period ITC disposed of approximately 25 cubic yards of a blue-green foundry waste on the MCRC Site.

   On December 12, 1996, the Department sampled the contents of the disposed pile of foundry waste. The foundry sand sample results showed concentrations of lead to be 7120 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), copper at 356,000 mg/kg, beryllium at 19.7 mg/kg and arsenic at 112 mg/kg. These inorganic compounds at the concentrations indicated are above regulatory direct contact standards.

   The source of the threat at the MCRC Site is from the high inorganic compound levels in the waste pile. Concentrations found at the site pose an actual and potential threat to the public health through ingestion, and inhalation. A threat to the environment also exists through potential impact to the groundwater and migration of lead by wind and water erosion.

   The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based upon the potential and actual exposure threat to soils, sediments, surface water and groundwater posed by the disposed foundry waste and the actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances by inhalation, and/or ingestion.

   The Department considered two alternatives: 1.) no action, which would allow the foundry waste to remain in place. 2.) The removal of foundry waste pile and arranging for the treatment and/or disposal of these substances at a permitted facility. The Department determined that the no action alternative would not be protective of human health and the environment since the risk of contact with contaminates would remain.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the 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 at the site 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 Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Armagh Township Municipal Building, 224 College Avenue, Milroy, PA 17063 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications

Nonmajor Sources and Modifications

   The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

   Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.

   Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

   Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

   Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

   The Department of Environmental Protection has taken actions on municipal requests for Act 537 Plan Approval.

   Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O.

Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audio tape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.

Actions under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Southeast Regional Office, Sewage Planning Specialist Supervisor, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County to provide for:

   1.  Rerating of the Oaks Wastewater Treatment Facility from 9.06 mgd to 9.17 mgd to benefit Perkiomen Township by an additional 400 edus.

   2.  Onlot sewage disposal systems will only be allowed in the low-density residential areas, however, where feasible connections to public sewers will be allowed for current onlot users in the defined growth area.

   3.  Future projected needs of 1,065 edus.

   Plan approval is conditioned on further planning to provide for implementation of #3, along with the other municipalities in the Lower Perkiomen Valley Sewer Authority.

   The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Buckingham Township, Bucks County to provide for the expansion of the Central Buckingham Township sewage treatment facilities, from their current capacity of 304,000 gpd to 352,825 gpd.

   This will be accomplished by:

   1.  Expansion of the Buckingham Forest lagoon to provide for the storage of 10.5 MG of treated effluent for 90 days. This is to be accomplished by deactivating a 3.5 acre portion of spray field #5 thereby increasing the treatment capacity of the lagoon from 68,000 gpd to 116,825 gpd.

   2.  The 3.5 acres will be replaced by adding onto spray zone #8 to retain the 47.5 acres of existing spray fields.

   3.  Installation of a pump and force main to send 200,000 gpd of treated effluent to a storage pond at the Lookaway Golf Course and amending the NPDES permit to allow for a stream discharge from the storage pond to the Lahaska Creek.
