Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Smalis Penn Avenue Site
City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Smalis Penn Avenue Site (Site). This response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site is located at 2908 and 2922 Penn Avenue, City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA.
The Site consisted of a fenced lot containing a large trailer, a box truck and numerous 55-gallon drums. The trailer and the box truck contained 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon containers of paint, paint waste and solvent. The Site contained 79 55-gallon drums and 196 5-gallon containers of waste total. The drums and containers were found to contain hazardous substances.
The Department conducted an emergency response at the site from March 15, 2001, to March 17, 2001, to address the imminent threat to the public health and the environment. During the response, all drums and containers were removed from the two trailers onsite and from around the Site. Leaking or open drums and containers were placed in steel or plastic over pack containers. Nonleaking drums and containers were placed in one of two lined roll-off boxes.
A sampling investigation was conducted on August 9, 2001. Samples were collected from 5-gallon containers in the roll off boxes and from 55-gallon drums in the over packed drum staging area. The samples revealed the presence of hazardous substances.
The Department issued an administrative order to the responsible parties on September 6, 2001. The order required the responsible parties to characterize and dispose of the hazardous materials on the site within 30 days of receipt of the order. The responsible parties have failed to comply with this order.
The Department considered several alternatives at the Site, including: no action; securing of the site; and disposal of the waste at the Site. The Department determined that disposal of the waste was the appropriate course of action. This alternative was selected because it complied with all applicable laws and regulations and was determined to be the most environmentally sound procedure for this site.
The Department conducted a prompt interim response to remove and dispose of the waste at the Site from March 20, 2002, to May 9, 2002. All hazardous waste at the Site was removed and properly disposed. The Department, following the public hearing and comment period, will complete a Statement of Decision and Response to Comments.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 9, 2002, until September 9, 2002. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them or delivering them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Monday, July 8, 2002, at 7 p.m. at the Department Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Persons wishing to present comments must register before July 3, 2002, with Patrick Shuster, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4000.
