HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Interim Response
Vandor Manufacturing Site, Doylestown Township, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is proposing an interim response at the Vandor Manufacturing Site (Site), Doylestown Township, Bucks County. This response will be undertaken under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The Site is on the border of Doylestown and Buckingham Townships in Bucks County. The Site is comprised of two properties at 740 and 760 Edison Furlong Road and an associated plume of contaminated groundwater. Edison Furlong Road constitutes the boundary between the two townships; both properties are in Doylestown Township. The Site consists of a plume of groundwater contaminated with VOCs, most notably trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE).
The Department has completed an investigation into the extent and source of groundwater contamination. Samples were collected from private supply wells in the area, as well as several groundwater monitoring wells that the Department installed throughout the Site area. Among the key findings: (1) elevated levels of TCE, PCE and several breakdown products remain in the groundwater at the Site; (2) several private water supply wells contain levels of contaminants in excess of the drinking water standards; and (3) an area of soil near the loading dock of the former Neshaminy Transformer Corporation facility at 740 Edison Furlong Road is contaminated with PCE. Concentrations were detected as high as 4,700 ppb. The Statewide Health Standard in the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) for PCE is 500 ppb. This has been and continues to be a source area of PCE in groundwater.
Based on these findings, the Department has determined that further response action is justified at the Site, under sections 501 and 505 of the HSCA. Since there are two media of concern, soil and groundwater, the Department has divided its Analysis of Alternatives into two sections, or Operable Units.
Operable Unit One addresses the contaminated soil acting as a source of PCE contamination in groundwater. The Department is considering four alternatives. The first alternative, no action, is used as a baseline by which to judge the other alternatives. While this alternative would incur no costs, it does not protect human health or the environment. The second alternative includes installation of an impermeable asphalt cap over the area containing soil contamination above the applicable cleanup levels. The objective of the cap proposed under this alternative is not to prevent direct exposure to contamination, but rather to address contaminant migration to groundwater. The estimated cost of this alternative is $356,000. The third alternative includes soil excavation and removal. Contaminated soil would be shipped to a lawful, permitted disposal facility and the area would be backfilled with clean soil. The estimated cost of this alternative is $1.751 million. The fourth alternative includes in situ treatment of the contaminated soil. There are several ways to approach this alternative, including bioremediation, soil vapor extraction and chemical oxidation/reduction. The estimated cost of this alternative is $752,000.
Operable Unit Two addresses contaminated groundwater. The Department is considering four alternatives. The first alternative, no action, incurs no costs but does not protect human health and the environment. The second alternative includes installation, monitoring and maintenance of whole house carbon filtration systems for as long as groundwater remains contaminated. The estimated cost of this alternative is $450,000. The third alternative includes connection to a public water supply system. A municipal water supply system would be extended to the affected area and contaminated wells would be permanently closed. The estimated cost of this alternative is $1.5 million. The fourth alternative involves installation of a groundwater treatment system. Carbon filters would also be required on each affected well until the contamination levels decrease to safe levels. The estimated cost of this alternative is $5 million.
The Department is proposing Alternative 2, an impermeable asphalt cap, for Operable Unit One and Alternative 2, whole house carbon filtration systems, for Operable Unit Two. These are the most cost-effective methods of addressing the threats to human health and the environment posed by the contamination.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA and the publication of this notice starts the Administrative Record public comment period under the HSCA. The Administrative Record, which contains information about this Site and which supports the Department's decision to perform these actions at the Site, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 by contacting Grant Morehead, (484) 250-5727 for an appointment. The Administrative Record may also be reviewed at the Doylestown Township Building, 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Telephone (215) 348-9915 to schedule an appointment at the township building.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding these actions to the Department until May 27, 2004, by mailing them to Grant Morehead, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, gmorehead@state.pa.us. If submitting comments by e-mail, type ''Comment on Administrative Record for Vandor Manufacturing HSCA Site'' in the subject line.
