HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notice of an Opening of an Administrative Record
Notice of a Remedial Action under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Yost Road Case
Whitpain Township, Montgomery County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has completed an investigation of the ground water contamination discovered in certain private water supply wells located along Yost Road, in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. The comprehensive investigation confirmed the presence of trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) contamination in these wells, in excess of the Medium Specific Concentrations (MSCs), established under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act 2), 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 250, (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.909). These standards can be reviewed under Appendix A/Table 1, of the act.
On May 3, 1999, the Department directed its contractor, Ogden Environmental and Energy Services (Ogden), to complete a comprehensive investigation of the ground water quality in the area of Yost Road. The emphasis of the investigation was placed on an accurate delineation of all private wells in the area and the purpose for which they are being used. Based on that information, Ogden completed sampling of all said wells, in order to determine the extent of the contamination. The investigation confirmed the presence of the aforementioned contamination in several private water supply wells.
This Remedial Action is considered the Department's preferred alternative. It would consist of the extension of public water service to all affected wells along Yost Road. Residents along Yost Road, who currently utilize a private water supply well for potable purposes, but whose wells are not impacted by the contamination, would also begiven the opportunity to connect to the public water service. The Department considers this as the preferred alternative because it is necessary to protect the public health and safety in accordance with the HSCA.
Due to the close proximity of the existing public water lines, the Department determined that this preferred remedial alternative, if ultimately chosen and implemented, under the authority of sections 501(a) and 505(c) of HSCA, would be the most permanent, protective and cost effective alternative for the site. The Department considered two other alternatives. The first, an interim response involving the installation of whole-house carbon filters, was considered and rejected, due to the more permanent, protective and cost effective advantages of the preferred alternative, asserted in the previous paragraph. Furthermore, the preferred alternative eliminates the need for protracted operation and maintenance of filters. The second alternative considered, no action, was rejected, because it would not have addressed or resolved the threat to public health associated with the contamination at issue.
The Administrative Record (AR), which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment from 8:15 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Department offices located at 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. A second copy of this AR, will also be made available for public inspection at the Wissahickon Public Library, located at 650 Skippack Pike, Blue Bell, PA, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The library is also open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Written comments concerning the Department's preferred remedial response alternative, as asserted above and the information contained in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked on or before May 5, 2000. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Michael Timcik, PADEP Project Officer, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6202.
In addition, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for 7 p.m., on Wednesday, March 22, 2000, at the Whitpain Township Municipal Building. The municipal building is located at 960 Wentz Road, Blue Bell, PA. Persons wishing to present oral comments should register on or before March 22, 2000, by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
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 contact John Gerdelmann or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
The Department is providing this Notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90-day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under the act.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 2
The following final reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of final reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. 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.
For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears. If information concerning a final report 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.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation 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.
