Special Study: Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update Darragh Sewerage System Location: Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County, R. D. 6, Box 500, Woodward Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Hempfield Township approved Act 537 Plan Update provides for future municipal sewage service to Arona Borough and Madison Borough, by the expansion of the Darragh Sewage Treatment Plant to 750,000 gallons per day. The West Hempfield Sewage Treatment Plant and the West Hempfield Plaza pump station will be abandoned. At future stages, the Lincoln Heights and Edna 1 areas will have public sewerage when the Darragh Sewage Treatment Plant is expanded to 1,500,000 gallons per day. Extension of municipal sewers in these areas will result in the elimination of five privately owned, packaged sewage treatment plants.
The Department's review of this Sewage Facilities Plan Update has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this plan.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears.
