HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Prompt Interim Response
East Tenth Street Site
Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is issuing this notice under section 506(b) of the Harzardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began a prompt interim response action on July 17, 2000, at the East 10th Street Site (Site), located on East 10th Street, in Marcus Hook Borough, Delaware County. The Site had a number of drums and containers of hazardous wastes and materials abandoned in a building. Based on the imminent threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department decided that it was necessary to implement a prompt interim response action at the Site pursuant to authority under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Department determined that prompt action was required to protect the public health and safety and the environment from the threat of release of hazardous substances.
The Department made its decision to implement a prompt interim response at the Site because of the community's actual or potential exposure to hazardous substances by inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact. The Department determined that prompt action was required to protect the public health and safety, and the environment within the meaning of 25 Pa. Code § 3.21(b). The Department will conduct further investigations of Site conditions concurrent with, and following, the prompt interim response action.
The objectives of the prompt interim response action were to remove and properly dispose of hazardous wastes and materials that a former occupant had abandoned on the Site. The Department considered two alternative interim response actions for the East 10th Street Site: Alternative 1) No Action. A ''No Action'' alternativeprovides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be prepared and/or judged. Had the Department selected the ''No Action'' alternative, any actual or potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site would have remained the same.
Alternative 2) Waste Removal and Disposal. This alternative consists of safely repackaging, temporarily storing, sampling for disposal purposes, and shipping the wastes offsite to approved disposal facilities.
In evaluating these alternatives, the Department considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and environment, and the alternatives' ability to meet applicable, relevant, and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs). The Department also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the prompt interim alternatives. The Department determined that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department selected Alternative 2, ''Waste Removal and Disposal.'' This alternative is protective of the public health and environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and effective. The Department determined that prompt action was required under the authority provided in section 505(b) of HSCA.
An Administrative Record which contains more detailed information concerning the prompt interim response action is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's offices at Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Individuals interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937 to arrange for an appointment.
An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Marcus Hook Library, Tenth and Green Streets, Marcus Hook.
A public hearing is scheduled under section 506(d) of HSCA for September 27, 2000, at 7 p.m. at the Marcus Hook Borough Hall, Tenth and Green Streets, Marcus Hook, in the Council Room. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this prompt interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the September 27 meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should contact John Gerdelmann at the telephone number listed above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department of Environmental Protection may accommodate their needs.
The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's prompt interim response action during the period of public comment. Under section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment, which shall run from the date of this notice through November 10, 2000. Written comments should be addressed to April Flipse, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed above.
Individuals with questions concerning this notice should contact April Flipse at (610) 832-5937.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act, will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified as proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PLAN APPROVALS
Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications
Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The 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 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--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.
