Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County West Manheim Township 31 Fairview Drive
Hanover, PA 17331York Plan Description: Joshua Hill/Lippy Farm, A3-67964-176-3: The plan consists of a 143-lot single-family residential subdivision on 239 acres to be located on the northeastern corner of the Baltimore Pike (SR 0094) and Musselman Road in West Manheim Township, York County. The development will result in total estimated sewage flows of 61,600 gpd tributary to a proposed private, onsite wastewater treatment plant, which will be designed for 65,000 gpd in order to allow for additional future development near the property. It is anticipated that the private collection system will be dedicated to the Township in the future when public sewer is extended to areas near the project site. The plan revision was disapproved because the submission failed to include an executed operation and maintenance agreement for the homeowner's association that addresses municipal involvement or oversight of the proposed sewage facilities. Additionally, the agreement should have a clause that indicates the proposed private plant is interim and at such time as public facilities are made available to this site, the private plant must be abandoned.
Prompt Interim Response
Punxsutawney Groundwater Contamination Site, Punxsutawney Borough, Jefferson 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 conducted a response action for the Punxsutawney Groundwater Contamination Site (site). The site, as it is currently understood, is located in a light industrial/residential area in Punxsutawney Borough, Jefferson County, PA. The approximate site boundaries are Walnut Street to the west, Sutton Street to the south, Chestnut Street to the east and Cherry Street to the north. The site is an approximately two city blocks including several small industrial buildings adjacent to residential housing lots.
This response is intended to help mitigate the threats to human health and the environment at the site that are posed by a suspected underground storage tank (UST) and soil and groundwater contamination located near the junction of North and Orange Alleys. This is the same general area where the United States Environmental Protection Agency conducted a soil removal action in the late 1980s. Hazardous substances are present in the suspected UST fill pipe and have leaked into the surrounding soil. These hazardous substances have migrated from the immediate area of the UST (thought to exist in the southeastern corner of the former Berlin Metal Polishers facility) to the surrounding soils and shallow groundwater.
For this prompt interim response, the Department considered two alternatives for the site: 1) no action; and 2) characterization followed by a ''phased'' approach remedial response to address three different Areas of Concern (AOCs). The three AOCs identified at the site include: AOC-1, the verification and removal/offsite disposal of a suspected underground storage tank and its contents; AOC-2, the excavation and treatment/disposal of contaminated soils in nearby alleyways; and, AOC-3, the elimination of direct contact and inhalation threats in nearby residences.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria: (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative.
Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.
Based on the comparative analysis, the Department chose to implement Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response for the site. This alternative was proposed because it would, in a more cost-effective manner, protect the public and environmental receptors from direct contact with site-related hazardous substances and eliminate the ongoing release and threat of release of hazardous substances into the environment.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (814) 332-6648 for an appointment. A duplicate administrative record will be maintained at the Punxsutawney Borough Office (Mahoning East Civic Center), 301 East Mahoning Street, Punxsutawney, PA 15767.
The administrative record will be open for comment from December 2, 2006, until March 2, 2007. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Harold Nye, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the Department's response at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for January 23, 2007, at 6:30 p.m. at the Punxsutawney Borough Council Chambers, 301 East Mahoning Street, Punxsutawney, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing are encouraged to register on or before January 9, 2007, by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Freda Tarbell at (814) 332-6945. A general question and answer period will follow the formal oral comment period of the public hearing. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's response action during the period for public comment, which runs from the date of this notice through March 2, 2007. Written comments should be addressed to Nye at the previously noted Department office address.
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 Freda Tarbell at (814) 332-6945 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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.
