HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Prompt Interim Response, Swissvale Auto Surplus Parts Site, Swissvale, Allegheny County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Swissvale Auto Surplus Parts Site. This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)).
The Swissvale Auto Parts Site (site) is located at 2715 Vernon Avenue, Swissvale, PA. The site is approximately ½ acre in size and includes a concrete block building centered on the property. The building contains approximately 500 tons of scrap metal, including electrical transformers, capacitors, car batteries, and drums contaminated with polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). The site is fenced but not secure. Trespassers have been documented on site, and there is evidence of vandalism creating health threats from direct contact with the contamination, and inhalation of the dust inside the building.
The Department has initiated a response at the Swissvale Auto Parts Site to remove PCB contaminated media (waste, soil, cement block building) and asbestos containing building materials. This response includes removal and disposal of contaminated soil, drummed waste and debris inside the building, and the demolition, removal, and disposal of the contaminated building. These actions will eliminate the direct contact and inhalation threats to human health.
The following alternatives were evaluated in proposing this response:
Alternative 1. No action would be taken. Conditions at the site would continue including the threats to human health from direct contact with the waste and inhalation of the contaminated dust.
Alternative 2. The site would be secured and monitored periodically. The fence would be repaired and locks would be replaced on the doors. The large wooden garage doors on the building would be repaired. The site would be monitored periodically for breaches of security. Considering the history of this site, this alternative could not be considered effective, or a permanent solution.
Alternative 3. Under Alternative 3, PCB contaminated soil and waste, the asbestos containing building materials, and the cement slab floor of the building would be removed and disposed of. The cement block walls and roof of the building would be decontaminated. PCBs are present in the cement slab, asphalt roof coating, wooden stairwells and garage doors. Removal of these items could render the building structurally unstable. Decontamination procedures could be done on the walls and structural components of the building, but it is likely residual contamination would remain. This alternative would not be effective and the building would be structurally unsound.
Alternative 4. This alternative would involve the removal and disposal or recycling of the contaminated drums, scrap and debris inside the building and the removal and disposal of an area of PCB contaminated soil outside the building. Under this alternative the building will be demolished and disposed of.
Alternative 4 was selected since it represents a complete and permanent solution to this site and bring it back into reuse. The removal of the scrap and debris and the demolition of the building along with the proper disposal would eliminate the risk to human health from direct contact, inhalation and ingestion threats from the PCB contamination and asbestos materials.
The Prompt Interim Response Action has begun and is expected to last 8--10 weeks. The action should be completed before the end of the public comment period.
The Notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. 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 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 June 5, 1999 until September 3, 1999. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Gary Mechtly at 400 Waterfront Drive, 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 the hearing on Tuesday, June 15, 1999, at 7 p.m. at the Swissvale Borough Building. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Rita Zettelmayer before Monday, June 14, 1999, by telephone at (412) 442-4183 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Rita Zettlemayer, (412) 442-4183 to discuss how the Department may accommodate them.
