HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Interim Response

Mazzaro-McKees Rocks Landfill, Kennedy Township, 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), is proposing a response action for the Mazzaro-McKees Rocks Landfill (Site) along McKees Rocks Road in Kennedy Township, Allegheny County. The Site consists of an abandoned landfill used for the disposal of industrial and municipal waste from the 1940s to 1972.

   An unknown quantity of industrial waste was dumped or buried at the Site. Several exposed drums containing various wastes are present at the Site. Adjacent to the exposed drums are several mounded areas that are suspected to contain numerous additional drums. Hazardous substances have been detected at the Site in past sampling events. Contaminants may be leaving the Site though ground and surface water. The Site currently poses a substantial threat to public health, safety and the environment.

   The Department has considered several alternatives for a response at the site including: (1) no action; (2) restricting the Site; and (3) conducting an investigation.

   The Department has determined that conducting a further investigation at the Site is the appropriate alternative. The Department chose this alternative because it complies with section 501(a) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)) and is the only alternative that is protective of human health and the environment. An investigation would provide the Department with the information required to determine if additional remediation efforts are necessary at the Site to protect human health and the environment. The Department's proposed action is intended to fully characterize the Site and enable the Department to determine the most appropriate method to remediate the Site.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). 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 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southwest Regional Office in Pittsburgh.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from July 17, 2004, until October 17, 2004. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only by sending them to Kevin Halloran, Environmental Cleanup Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to the Southwest Regional Office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing on August 26, 2004, at 6:30 p.m. at the Kennedy Township Municipal Building, 340 Forest Grove Rd., Coraopolis, PA 15108. Persons wishing to present comments may register before August 26, 2004, with Helen Humphreys Short, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4000.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Helen Humphreys Short at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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.
