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 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Reaffirmation of Act 537 Sewage Facilities Update Revision Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northcentral Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management, Planning and Finance Section, Gary L. Metzger, Chief, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-3399.
Ralpho Township, Northumberland County.
Project Description: In 1992, the Department approved an update revision to the Ralpho Township Act 537 Official Sewage Facility Plan which called for construction of a sewer extension to serve approximately 147 residences in the Sunnyside and Overlook Developments. The plan provided for the wastewater collected from this new service area to be conveyed to the existing Shamokin-Coal Township Joint Sewer Authority wastewater treatment facility for final treatment with discharge of the treated effluent to Shamokin Creek.
Ralpho Township has formed a new authority, the Municipal Authority of Sunnyside/Overlook, to design and construct this project with funding to be obtained through the PENNVEST program. The Department has reevaluated the planning for this project and proposes to authorize Ralpho Township to proceed with the project.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
