Plan approvals granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

Plan Location:
Borough or Borough or Township Address Township County New Salem Borough 80 North Water Street, York, PA 17371 York Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the installation of a conventional sanitary sewer collection system with conveyance to North Codorus Township for treatment. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

Plan disapprovals granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Plan Location:
Borough or Borough or Township Address Township County North Codorus Township R. D. 1 Box 1102, Spring Grove, PA 17362 York County Plan Description: This Official Plan revision, Colonial Crossings (A3-67946-247-3), is for a 53-lot subdivision consisting of 400 residential units comprised of apartments, duplexes, townhouses and single-family dwellings, as well as a neighborhood commercial center, swimming pool and clubhouse. The project site is on 115 acres and is located along the south and east sides of Noss Road, approximately 500 feet east of Joseph Road in North Codorus Township, York County. Total estimated sewage flows are 144,350 gpd to be served by an existing, privately owned sewage treatment plant. Ultimately, the sewage is to be treated at a proposed municipal sewage treatment plant that has not yet received planning approval.
Since the existing treatment plant has a capacity of only 100,000 gpd, the plan was disapproved because the proposed municipal treatment plant has not received planning approval and is not a viable ultimate means of sewage disposal at this moment. In addition, the operation and maintenance responsibilities of the existing treatment plant have not been addressed.
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Conneaut Creek Drum Site
Conneautville Borough, Crawford CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has completed a prompt interim response at the Conneaut Creek Drum Site (site). The site is located in Conneautville Borough, Crawford County, PA. The site consists of a parcel of property with a dwelling used for residential housing. Specifically, the site is oriented in the backyard of the property and covers an area of about 60 square feet. The site is on the northeast bank of the active stream channel of Conneaut Creek. Two barrels and their contents were partially exposed on the stream bank, approximately four feet above the mean stream level.
The Department became aware of the site as the result of a public complaint on August 31, 1999. The Department completed an initial investigation and preliminary sampling on September 9, 1999. The results of the initial investigation verified the complaint and the presence of a hazardous substance. Further investigation and sampling was completed February 29, 2000, which indicated that the drums contained hazardous substances, namely lead and volatile organic compounds. The material in the drums and nearby soils may have been dried lead-based paint.
The origin of the waste and drums and how they came to be located at the site, are unknown. The current and past owners of the site have stated that they were not aware of the waste and drums, prior to the beginning of the Department's investigation.
The main objectives for the prompt interim response at the site were:
1) protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact, ingestion and inhalation risks associated with the hazardous substances in contaminated soils and wastes; and
2) eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment from the wastes and contaminated soils at the site.
The Department considered two alternatives for the prompt interim response at the site:
Alternative 1
A ''No Action'' alternative provided a baseline for comparison to other alternatives. Because no action would be implemented, any present or future risks to human health, safety or the environment would remain unchanged.
Alternative 2
This Alternative involved the excavation and disposal of drums containing waste, wastes outside of drums and contaminated soils at an off-site facility. Following the excavation and removal of the drums, waste and contaminated soils, the site was restored to pre-response conditions.
The Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response at the site. Alternative 2 was selected because it does, in the most cost effective manner, protects the public and environmental receptors from the risks associated with the hazardous substances at the site. The completed cost of this response was approximately $15,000.
This notice is being provided under Section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 9, 2001 until September 7, 2001. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to the site Project Manager, Ronald Lybrook, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may submit oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department will schedule a hearing between July 9, 2001 and August 8, 2001, if requested by one or more members of the public. Persons wishing to present comments at a hearing must register with the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Freda Tarbell before June 25, 2001 by telephone at (814) 332-6945 or in writing to the Northwest Regional Office. If no person requests to present oral comments by the date specified above, a hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered and if a hearing will be held, should contact Freda Tarbell at the telephone number previously noted.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Freda Tarbell at the telephone number noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

94110: Sunoco Inc., R & M (3144 Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19145) on May 23, 2001, to modify Permit Condition No. 2 and to remove Permit Condition No. 3 from the previous installation permit issued on May 9, 1994, for their facility in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. Permit Condition No. 2 shall now read: ''The operation of the Marine Vapor Collection and Control System (MVCACS) is limited to 2,500 barrels per hour.'' Previous language read: ''The operation of the MVCACS is limited to 2,500 barrels per hour and 2,200 hours per year.'' The language ''2,200 hours per year'' has been removed from the permit. Permit Condition No. 3 has been removed from the permit which previously read ''The Volatile Organic Compound emission from the operation of the MVCACS shall not exceed 12 tons per year.'' The 12 ton per year VOC limit and the 2,200 hours of operation per year limit were able to be removed from the installation permit because they were originally placed in the installation permit to account for 22 tons of Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) as a result of over-control between 90% (per Pennsylvania rule) and 98% (combustion in boilers and heaters.) Since the ERCs were never officially banked, the limits can be removed.
