HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Delancy Road Drum Removal Site

Thompson Township, Fulton 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 Delancy Road Drum Removal Site in Thompson Township, Fulton County, PA. This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA.

   Unknown persons discarded four 55-gallon drums. This was reported to the Southcentral Region Emergency Response Team (ERT), and recorded as Incident Notification #2597. A site investigation was performed, and recorded as ERT Incident #2652. The Department's ERT set the drums upright, secured them in place, opened and sampled the contents for laboratory analysis. The ERT also checked for the presence of ionizing radiation, photoionizable products, flammability, pH, fluorides, petroleum, chlorides, bromides, iodides and oxidizers. Use of a photoionization detector indicated that the material was highly flammable.

   Sampling results from the Department's Bureau of Laboratories showed the presence of two compounds, toluene at a concentration of 407,000 parts per million (ppm) and acetone at a concentration of 218,000 ppm. These constituents, the reported chemical concentrations, and flammable properties are characteristic of paint wastes. This was also consistent with labeling information on the drums. One drum was labeled for the original product sold by PPC Quality Products, Fast Lacquer Thinner PC-10 (100% Virin Solvents--UN 1263 paint related material). This product contains toluene, acetone, methanol, naphtha, and ethylene glycol. PPC, Inc. was located at 1000 Armory Place, Brandenberg, KY 40108. An additional label read TALSOL Corporation, 4677 Devitt Drive, Cincinnati, OH, Poison--Lacquer Thinner--VOC 6.86 lb/gal. It appears that each of the four drums has similar contents. The total volume for the four drums is estimated at 180 gallons.

   Because the drums were intact and the contents had not spilled to the ground creating an emergency situation, the retrieval and disposal responsibility had been referred to the Southcentral Region's Environmental Cleanup Program, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Section.

   The Department considered two alternatives:  1)   No action, which would allow the drums to remain at their present location, and 2)  The removal and proper disposal of the drums. The Department determined that the no action alternative would not be protective of public health or safety or the environment since deterioration of the drums and release of their contents would result in soil contamination, potential groundwater contamination and a direct contact threat to persons exposed to the drums' contents.

   The Department removed the drums on August 8, 2000. This action was taken prior to the development of the Administrative Record to be protective of human health and the environment.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA, and the publication of this notice starts the Administrative Record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Fulton County Conservation District Office, 216 North 2nd Street, Suite 15, McConnellsburg, PA 17233 during normal operating hours.

   The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before December 1, 2000, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at PA Dept. of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the action taken at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for Monday, October 16, 2000, at 7 p.m. at the Fulton County Conservation District Office, 216 North 2nd Street, Suite 15, McConnellsburg, PA 17233. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., October 11, 2000, by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931. If no request for formal oral comment is received, the hearing will be canceled.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Sanda Roderick at the above number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
