   Plan Description: The Plan Revision calls for the construction of 1,471 LF of 8-inch PVC sewer line and 417 L.F. of 6-inch PVC sewer line to extend wastewater collection system service to the Hillcrest Avenue and Earl Street areas in North Manheim Township. The proposed wastewater collection system will serve 23 equivalent dwelling units in the project area. The projected wastewater flow to be generated by the project's users is 9,200 GPD. The wastewater will be conveyed to the Schuylkill Haven Wastewater Treatment Facility for ultimate treatment and discharge. Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative and operation of the proposed facilities will be performed by the North Manheim Township Authority. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Financing of the proposed wastewater collection system is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Notice of Proposed Interim Response

Clements Landfill Site

Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1303) is proposing an interim response at the Clements Landfill Site (Site) in Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County, PA.

   The Site is located approximately 1 1/2 miles east of Route 61 and is bordered by Birch Hill Road to the north, Shoemakersville Road to the east, Ontelaunee Drive to the south and Kerns Road extending from the south to the west side of the Site. The entire area surrounding the Site consists of residential and agricultural lands. The Site, an inactive landfill since 1970, is 68.29 acres on which approximately 25 acres are land filled.

   In June 2000, the Department sampled 13 residential wells adjacent to the Site. Three adjacent properties south of the Site, located on a geologic fracture trace running through the land-filled area, have VOC contaminations above regulatory standards. Trichloroethylene levels ranged from 24 micrograms per liter (µg/L) to 73 µg/L, vinyl chloride from 4 µg/L to 27 µg/L and cis-1, 2-Dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE) from 79 to 140 µg/L. The regulatory limits for these VOCs in groundwater are 5 µg/L, 2 µg/L and 70 µg/L respectively. Resampling of the impacted well water supplies confirmed these levels of VOC contamination.

   In February 2001, the Department conducted a prompt interim response action to install point-of-entry water treatment systems in the three homes that were identified as having VOC impacted wells. These homes are sampled semiannually to examine system performance and to monitor regional groundwater conditions. The Department will continue to provide maintenance of these systems and will provide treatment systems for additional residential wells that are determined to exceed primary drinking water standards for substances associated with this site.

   During site characterization activities, an industrial process tank was identified and found to contain residual sludge materials. A sample of the sludge was collected and submitted for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure analysis. The analysis showed that the sludge materials leached chromium at 1,060 mg/L, which exceeds the 5 mg/L standard established for this metal. These results indicate that the residual sludge material is characteristically hazardous based on toxicity.

   The Department proposes an interim response for the Site to conduct the following actions: (1) remove and dispose of the residual sludge materials contained in an onsite industrial process tank and associated contaminated soils; (2) continued monitoring of the groundwater conditions at the Site; and (3) implementation of a deed restriction for the land-filled areas of the Site. These actions are taken to protect the public health or safety or the environment.

   The Department considered two alternatives:  1) no action, which allows the residents to have continued potential exposure to the chromium contaminated sludge material; and 2) sludge removal and proper disposal, groundwater monitoring and deed restriction onland use.

   The Department has chosen to implement Alternative 2. Alternative 2 complies with applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements and is cost effective. This alternative is protective of human health and the environment by eliminating the risk from further contact with hazardous substances at the Site.

   The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and the publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin 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, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting Ryan Kostival at (717) 705-4843. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office, 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100.
