Luzerne Plan Description: The approval of the Plan is conditioned, though, upon ultimate compliance with the provisions of the History Code (37 Pa.C.S. § 507). The costs of conducting any required survey work related to compliance with the History Code must be included in the cost of the proposed sewage facilities project. If recovery work or system redesign is required as a result of attaining compliance with the requirements of the Historical and Museum Commission, the Department's Northeast Regional Office must be notified immediately.
The Plan calls for the implementation of Alternative No. 1 as described in the Plan. Alternative No. 1 calls for the abandonment of the Hickory Hills and Ag-Mar Estates Wastewater Treatment Facilities currently owned by Foster Township (Township). The Hickory Hills Wastewater Treatment Facility will be replaced by a pump station, 6-inch force main and 8-inch gravity conveyance line that will convey the development's wastewater to the proposed Ag-Mar Estates Wastewater Pump Station. The existing Ag-Mar Estates Wastewater Treatment Facility will be abandoned and replaced by this proposed pump station, a 6-inch force main and an 8-inch gravity conveyance line. This pump station and force main will convey all of the wastewater received from the Hickory Hills and Ag-Mar Estates wastewater collection systems to a high point on SR 0940. At this high point, wastewater flow will transition from the 6-inch force main to an 8-inch gravity conveyance line. Wastewater will then flow through this 8-inch conveyance line to the existing pump station on Power House Road. The existing on-lot disposal systems servicing properties adjacent to SR 0940 along the route of the proposed 8-inch conveyance line will be abandoned and the structures on these properties will connect to the proposed conveyance line.
The existing Power House Road Pump Station will be upgraded to accommodate the additional wastewater flow conveyed to it from the proposed Hickory Hills, Ag-Mar Estates and SR 0940 service areas in the Township. Wastewater from the Power House Road Pump Station will be conveyed through the existing force main and White Haven Borough Wastewater Collection System. Portions of the gravity wastewater collection system serving White Haven Borough will be upgraded to accommodate the additional wastewater flow from the project area. Ultimate treatment of the project area's wastewater will occur at the Suburban Wastewater Company's (a/k/a Aqua Pennsylvania Inc.) Wastewater Treatment Facility in White Haven Borough. This existing facility's NPDES permitted capacity will be increased by 0.150 mgd from its current permitted capacity of 0.450 mgd. Treated wastewater will continue to be discharged to the Lehigh River.
The Plan also calls for the rehabilitation and repair of various portions of the existing wastewater collection systems within the Hickory Hills and Ag-Mar Estates developments. These actions are necessary to reduce the amount of excessive infiltration and inflow that is currently entering both wastewater collection systems.
Financing of the wastewater collection and conveyance systems is to be provided by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority.
Implementation of the proposed project will require an NPDES permit application submission for the 0.150 mgd increase in the discharge at Suburban Wastewater Company's (a/k/a Aqua Pennsylvania Inc.) Wastewater Treatment Facility in White Haven Borough. The proposed project will also require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law. Both permits shall be obtained by the appropriate owners of the wastewater disposal 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
Prompt Interim Response
Eastmont Dry Cleaners, Monroeville Borough, 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 Eastmont Dry Cleaner Site (Site), 4137 William Penn Highway, Borough of Monroeville, Allegheny County. 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 property has been the location of dry cleaning operations dating to 1970. Analytical data generated by Walnut Capital, a prospective buyer for the Site, indicates that groundwater onsite and offsite in the area of Kenmar Drive is contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE) and other chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Due to concerns of vapor intrusion into residences on Kenmar Drive, the Department conducted an investigation in the area in May 2004. Indoor air samples were taken at eight homes along Kenmar Drive. The results of the indoor air analyses indicated that PCE was present in seven of the eight homes sampled. In addition, the levels of PCE detected exceeded the Act 2 indoor air standard in three of the eight homes sampled.
To protect the affected residents on Kenmar Drive against the inhalation of hazardous contaminants, the Department initiated a prompt interim response. The Department hired Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. to install ''reverse flow'' radon remediation systems to address the indoor air problems at eight residences on Kenmar Drive. Installation of the systems took place in August 2004. Follow up sampling of the residences will be conducted to ensure that the systems are functioning as anticipated.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the 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 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA.
The administrative record will be open for comments from September 11, 2004, until December 11, 2004. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending them to Paul Vogel, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing on Thursday, October 21, 2004, at 6 p.m. at the Monroeville Municipal Building, 2700 Monroeville Blvd., Monroeville, PA. Persons wishing to present comments must register before October 21, 2004, with Helen Humphreys Short, 400 Waterfront Dr., Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4183.
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) 442-4183 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 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. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report 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.
