HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notice of Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Perluke Cooperage Site
Nanticoke City, Luzerne County The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 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 Perluke Cooperage Site (site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)). The site is located at 200 Mosier Street, Nanticoke City, Luzerne County, PA.
The site consisted of an abandoned beer keg wash/repair facility with drums, containers and cylinders of chemicals used at the facility. The Department has removed the following hazardous substances and/or contaminants at the site: caustic soda, nitric acid, various oils and sodium cyanide. The Department also removed cylinders of oxygen and acetylene and 60 linear feet of asbestos. Improper storage and disposal of such materials posed an ongoing threat to public health and safety and the environment.
The objective of the prompt interim response was to remove the hazardous substances and/or contaminants from the site and to safely dispose of them at offsite facilities that have regulatory approvals for the treatment and disposal of such hazardous substances and/or contaminants.
Given the specific circumstances at the site, the Department determined that offsite removal of the hazardous substances and/or contaminants was the only viable alternative to implement at this site. This response action was needed in a prompt manner to protect public health and safety and the environment.
On February 6, 2000, the Department mobilized at the site to conduct an emergency response to address drums in the building which were exposed after the roof and walls of the building collapsed. The response included characterizing, stabilizing, removing, and disposing of the drums, containers and cylinders in the building. During the emergency response, the building was totally demolished to provide safe access to the drums. The response was completed on February 8, 2000.
This 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 the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the DEP Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County 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 April 1, 2000 until June 30, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Leonard Zelinka, Department Project Officer, at the Department's Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, in Luzerne County or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusions in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on May 16, 2000 at 10 a.m., at the Department's Northeast Regional Office, Fourth Floor, Lehigh Room. Persons wishing to present comments should register with Leonard Zelinka before May 2, 2000 by telephone at (570) 826-5441 or in writing to Leonard Zelinka at the Department's Northeast Regional Office.
If no person register to present oral comments, by May 2, 2000, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should contact Leonard Zelinka.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Leonard Zelinka or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
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 Remediations Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6027.908) 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 Remediations 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, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a plan or report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.

Under section 224-A of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. 701--224-A), the Department has approved the following:
Section 201-A(c)--Inby and outby diesel-powered equipment may be used in underground mines if the inby or outby diesel-powered equipment uses an engine approved or certified by MSHA as applicable, for inby or outby use that, when tested at the maximum fuel-air ratio, does not require an MSHA Part 7 approval plate ventilation rate exceeding 75 cfm per rated horsepower.
Section 203-A(1)--Underground diesel-powered equipment shall include an exhaust emissions control and conditioning system that has been laboratory tested with the diesel engine, except as provided in paragraph (3), using the ISO 8178-1 test and has resulted in DPM emissions that do not exceed an average concentration of 0.12 mg over M to the third power when diluted by MSHA Part 7 approval plate ventilation rate for that diesel engine.
Section 204-A(d)--Section 204-A of the State law is unaffected by the MSHA Part 7 changes. However, since under Part 7, 203-A(1) now requires 100% of the MSHA Part 7 ventilating plate quantities relative to DPM emission levels, the minimum of 100% of the MSHA Part 7 approval plate quantity will be required for each unit operating in that split.
Air quantity measurements to determine compliance with this requirement shall be made at the most downwind unit of diesel-powered equipment that is being operated in that air split.
As of November 25, 1999, the Department will apply the methods noted above relative to Sections 201-A(c), 203-A(1), and 204-A(d) of the Act for all previously approved Diesel-Powered Equipment Packages and all future Diesel-Powered Equipment Packages in order to insure that the same level of health and safety protection afforded by the Act remains in place with the implementation of MSHA Part 7 Ventilation Quantity Requirements on November 25, 1999.

2. Brookville's request dated October 5, 1999, relative to a Caterpillar 3304 PCNA engine and DST exhaust after-treatment system.

S. § 701-224-A), the Department has approved the alternate test procedure for carbon monoxide (CO) sampling submitted by Brookville Mining Equipment Corporation dated December 1, 1999. This alternate test is approved only for the Caterpillar 3304 PCNA diesel engine that is used to power the Brookville Model 18M100D personnel carrier/locomotive.
