AddressCounty Foster Township P. O. Box 465
Freeland, PA 18224Luzerne Plan Description: The Plan calls for the construction of a new gravity wastewater collection system and associated pump stations and force mains to serve approximately 442 EDUs in the Woodside, Youngstown, Highland and Upper Lehigh areas of Foster Township, as specified in the Freeland Borough Alternative 2 text and mapping found in the Plan. The Plan also proposes replacement of the existing municipal wastewater collection system in Foster Township and known as Subarea 5 of the Freeland Area Wastewater Collection System. This system currently serves approximately 246 EDUs. Wastewater from all of the previously described areas, except Upper Lehigh, will be conveyed to an existing force main owned by the Freeland Municipal Authority (Authority) for transmission to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility for ultimate treatment and discharge. Wastewater from the Upper Lehigh area will be conveyed directly to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility via the proposed gravity interceptor, pump station and force main.
Financing of the wastewater collection and conveyance systems is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. Other departmental permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. The Department's review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Algonquin Chemical Company Site, Windsor Township and Hamburg Borough, Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a proposed settlement with Windsor Industries, Inc. and its president and majority shareholder, Douglas Mehrkam (Settlors).
The proposed settlement resolves claims of the Department with the Settlors under the HSCA, CERCLA and other applicable law for response costs expended by the Department at the Algonquin Chemical Site (Site), Windsor Township and Hamburg Borough, Berks County.
The proposed settlement obligates the Settlors to pay to the Department $2,500 in reimbursement of certain of its response costs expended at the Site. Settlors explicitly consent to the filing of a lien with the Berks County Recorder of Deeds in the amount of $50,700. The Department agrees to postpone and forego any lien-based foreclosure against the real estate in question so long as the real estate is owned by the Settlers.
The Department believes that the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, practicable in the public interest and in furtherance of the statutory goals of the HSCA and CERCLA.
Under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), the Department is publishing notice of this Consent Order and Agreement and will provide a 60-day period for public comment on the Consent Order and Agreement beginning March 27, 2004. Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement may be examined Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting Crystal Snook, (717) 705-6645. The Consent Decree can also be reviewed at the Reading District Office, 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Thomas Grubb, (610) 916-0100.
After review, the public may submit written comments on the Consent Order and Agreement, before May 27, 2004, by mailing them to Crystal Snook at the Department's Harrisburg office at the previous address. A person adversely affected by the settlement may also file an appeal from the Consent Order and Agreement to the Environmental Hearing Board. Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Crystal Snook.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the Consent Order and Agreement if comments submitted during the public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the Consent Order and Agreement is inappropriate or not in the public interest.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of 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 act's remediation standards. 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 analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
