HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Remedial Response
Bear Creek Area Chemical Site, Fairview, Park and Concord Townships Petrolia, Fairview, Karns City and Bruin Boroughs, Butler County
Perry Township, Armstrong 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 a remedial response at Bear Creek Area Chemical Site, Fairview, Park and Concord Townships and Petrolia, Fairview, Karns City and Bruin Boroughs, Butler County and in Perry Township, Armstrong County.
1. Background
The HSCA was enacted in 1988 to provide for the cleanup of Commonwealth sites that are releasing or threatening the release of hazardous substances. Section 502(a) of the HSCA requires that the Department publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a priority list of sites with releases or threatened releases for the purpose of taking remedial response. This list is called the Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response (PAPL). The Department places sites on the PAPL when the Department has determined through investigation that there are releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or releases or substantial threatened releases of contaminants which present a substantial danger. In accordance with the requirements of section 502(a) of the HSCA, the Hazard Ranking System (HRS) (40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A), established under the Federal Superfund Act, as amended, is utilized to rank the sites for placement on the PAPL. The HRS uses mathematical formulas that reflect the relative importance and interrelationships of the various human health and environmental factors to arrive at a final score on a scale of 0 to 100. The values are assigned using information obtained from site investigations. Section 502(a) of the HSCA also directs the Department to consider its administrative, enforcement and financial capabilities when placing sites on the PAPL. HRS scores are finalized by the Department using the HRS in effect at the time the score is prepared and the proposed listing notice is issued under section 502(c) of the HSCA.
The HRS was developed by the EPA as the method used to evaluate the relative potential of hazardous substance releases to cause health or safety problems, ecological or environmental damage. It is the principal mechanism for placing a site on the National Priorities List (NPL), the list of priority releases for long-term remedial evaluation and response under the Federal Superfund Act. The HRS is calculated by utilizing known information to establish the level of threat presented in four potential pathways of human or environmental exposure: groundwater, surface water, air and soil exposure. Within each pathway of exposure, the HRS considers three categories of factors:
(1) Factors that indicate the presence or likelihood of a release to the environment.
(2) Factors that indicate the nature and quantity of the substances presenting the potential threat.
(3) Factors that indicate the human or environmental targets potentially at risk from the site.
The resultant HRS score represents an estimate of the relative probability and magnitude of harm to human populations or sensitive environments from potential exposure to hazardous substances by the groundwater, surface water, soil exposure or air pathways.
2. Summary and Purpose
Placement of a site on the PAPL is used to identify sites which need further study and/or remedial response decisions to address threats to the public health, safety or the environment. The Department will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take enforcement or other actions under the HSCA or other authorities and/or to proceed directly with HSCA-funded remedial response actions and seek cost recovery after the cleanup.
Remedial response actions will not necessarily be taken in the same order as a site's ranking on the PAPL. The investigation conducted to place a site on the PAPL may not be sufficient to determine either the extent of contamination or the appropriate response actions for a site. The Department may undertake further site investigation and/or an analysis of remedial alternatives to determine appropriate response actions. The length of time needed to complete these studies will vary due to the complexity of a site. Response action decisions and implementation will proceed on individual sites regardless of the progress at other sites. Given the limited resources available in the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, the Department must carefully balance the relative needs for response at the sites it has studied. The Department may decide not to immediately proceed with an HSCA remedial action or that no remedial action is necessary.
3. Technical Evaluation Grants under Act 108
Under section 510 of the HSCA, the Department may make available a reasonable sum as a grant to the governing body of the host municipality of a site where the Department is considering a remedial response. The host municipality shall use this sum solely to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the proposed remedial response. The grant shall not exceed $50,000. Information and a technical evaluation grant package may be obtained from the Department regional office in which the site is located. Refer to the Additional Information section.
A municipality will be sent grant information by the Department after a listing announcement has been published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The grant will be signed; however, the grant will not be effective until the proposed remedial response is available for public review. At that time, the municipality may proceed with the review of the Department's proposed remedial response.
PAPL
A. Effective Date
The sites listed are being placed on the PAPL effective upon publication of this Pennsylvania Bulletin.
B. Contact Person
Individual site information may be obtained by contacting the Department's regional office in which the site is located and whose address can be found in the Additional Information section.
C. Statutory Authority
The PAPL is published under the authority of section 502(a) of the HSCA. Under section 502(b) of the HSCA, a decision to place a site on the list or to remove a site from the list is not a final action subject to review under the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. §§ 7511 et seq.), nor shall it confer a right or duty upon the Department or any person.
D. Review and Public Comment
The HSCA provides for a 30-day public comment period subsequent to publication of the PAPL. This Pennsylvania Bulletin announcement opens the 30-day comment period for the sites being added with this publication. Written comments should be mailed to Charles Tordella, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, Department of Environmental Protection, Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3418.
The regional office site files contain all information considered by the Department in placing a site on the PAPL. Files are available for review in the appropriate regional Field Operations Office, by appointment only, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding State holidays. Contact the regional Environmental Cleanup Program Manager whose address can be found in the Additional Information section. The Department considers the written comments received during the formal comment period. Written comments and the Department's responses will be placed into the site file and will later be incorporated into the Administrative Record.
E. Contents of List
This notice places one site on the PAPL. Table 1 lists the site added to the PAPL by this notice. The name of the site, HRS score, municipality, county and the Department region are included in this table. Table 2 lists eight sites currently on the PAPL. Included is the site added by this notice. The name of the sites, HRS score, municipality, county and the Department region are included in this table. The sites are listed in decreasing order of HRS scores.
F. Site Listing Summary
The Bear Creek Area Chemical Site (Site) is located in Fairview, Parker and Concord Townships and Petrolia, Fairview, Karns City and Bruin Boroughs, Butler County and in Perry Township, Armstrong County. The site includes, at minimum, 24 areas where the Department knows or has evidence to suggest that industrial wastes were disposed and the surface water, groundwater, soils and sediments that have been contaminated from hazardous substances and contaminants that have migrated from the disposal areas. The industrial wastes were transported to and disposed in various site areas from approximately the 1950s into the 1970s by Francis Spitzer and others. The industrial wastes were generated by Koppers Company (now known as Beazer East, Inc.) and Witco Chemical Corporation (now known as Crompton Corporation) and others.
Various hazardous substances are present in the disposal areas and associated surface water, groundwater and soils within the site. The hazardous substance most frequently detected is resorcinol. Additionally, the following contaminants have been detected in waste and environmental media at most of the disposal areas: meta-benzene disulfonic acid, benzene sulfonic acid, para-phenol sulfonic acid and calcium petronate/KSS (Site contaminants). Resorcinol and Site contaminants have been detected in the groundwater and springs over a wide geographical area, including numerous private and public drinking water wells. Beginning on March 21, 2002, the Department began supplying alternative potable water to what now numbers over 680 residences, businesses and institutions in the Site area whose wells contain or are threatened by contamination with resorcinol or Site contaminants.
The Site consists of two operable units for the purposes of study and remediation. They are operable unit 1 (OU1): the various site disposal areas and OU2: the groundwater impacted or threatened by the release of hazardous substances and contaminants at the site. The Department intends to conduct the following remedial response at OU2: construction of a public water supply system that would provide potable water to persons at the site.
