HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Response and Opening of the Administrative Record Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Oak Lane Site
Falls Township, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has proposed an interim response at the Oak Lane Site. The site is located in the Fairless Hills area of Falls Township, Bucks County. The site involves private wells contaminated with volatile organic compounds and includes properties along Oaklane Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue and a portion of Lincoln Highway east of Oaklane Avenue. The Department has determined that releases of hazardous substances have occurred, have impacted groundwater in the area, and the releases pose a threat to human health and safety and the environment.
To eliminate the threat posed by the release of hazardous substances at the site, the Department considered the following alternative responses:
1. No action.
2. Installation of whole-house filtration systems.
3. Installation of a municipal water supply waterline.
The Department is proposing Alternative No. 3, installation of a municipal water supply waterline. The municipal waterline will be constructed and connected to 38 addresses currently being served by private wells. The proposed waterline will be constructed on the north end of Oaklane Avenue, the entire length of Pennsylvania Avenue, and that portion of the southern side of Lincoln Highway from Oaklane Avenue east to Trenton Road.
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. A copy of the administrative record is located at the Falls Township Municipal Building, 188 Lincoln Highway, Suite 100, Fairless Hills, PA 19030, and is available for review in the Township Managers office during normal business hours, weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A copy of the administrative record is also located at the Bucks County Free Library, Regional Branch, 7311 New Falls Road, Levittown, PA 19055. The administrative record is located at the reference desk and is available during normal library hours. The administrative record may also be reviewed at the Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Call Kevin Hess at (610) 832-6194 to make an appointment to review the administrative record at the Southeast Regional Office.
Written comments concerning the Department's proposed response and related to information contained in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before October 22, 1999. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Kevin Hess, PA DEP Project Officer, Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.
In addition, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for September 15, 1999, at 7:30 p.m., in the Public Meeting Room at the Falls Township Falls Municipal Building, 188 Lincoln Highway, Suite 100, Fairless Hills, PA 19030. Persons wishing to present oral comments may register on or before the date of the public hearing by contacting John Gerdelmann, DEP Community Relations Coordinator, at (610) 832-6228.
