Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Walker Township 816 Nittany Valley Dr.
Bellefonte, PA 16823Centre Plan Description: This plan proposed to construct a sewerage collection system and treatment plant to serve the Village of Hublersburg. The sewage treatment plant would discharge to Little Fishing Creek (HQ, wild trout). The plan was disapproved because it does not meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 71.21 because wetland concerns have not been adequately addressed and implementation of the plan is in question as they have failed to show that their proposed sewage treatment plant will meet the stringent effluent limits required to discharge to a high quality stream. In addition, the plan does not meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 93.4c because all cost effective nondischarge alternatives were not adequately evaluated and a social and economic justification was not submitted as part of the plan.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
DuPont/New Castle Junk Site, City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with D & D Development, L. P. (D & D) concerning the redevelopment of a portion of the DuPont/New Castle Junk Site (Site).
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department and some of the responsible persons for the Site conducted a response action at the Site between 1992 and 2002. This response action included treatment of wastes and soils contaminated by hazardous substances, followed by placement of a soil cap on one portion of the treated wastes and proper closure of a residual waste landfill on another portion of the Site. Upon completion of the response action, the portion of the Site owned by the Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation (LCEDC) was available for redevelopment.
D & D intends to purchase an approximately 5-acre parcel at the Site from the LCEDC. D & D is not a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103). However, in recognition of the extensive cleanup efforts at the Site, under the terms of the Agreement, D & D has agreed to redevelop this portion of the Site property in a manner consistent with the completed response action, including not disturbing the wetland area. The redevelopment plan and post-construction maintenance plan shall be submitted for prior Department approval before construction begins.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the Department and D & D. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with D & D shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies D & D, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no comments were received.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted in writing to Gary Mechtly, Project Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Gary Mechtly, (814) 332-6648. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.
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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.

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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
