SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN DISAPPROVAL
Plan Disapprovals Granted under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)
Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Lower Frankford and Upper Frankford Townships 1205 Easy Road
Carlisle, PA 17013
660 Mohawk Road
Newville, PA 17241Cumberland Plan Description: Disapproval of a revision to the Official Sewage Plans of Lower Frankford and Upper Frankford Township, Cumberland County. The proposed Russell Wilson subdivision consists of the subdivision of one residential lot (Lot 18) from Lot 10. Lot 18 is also proposed to receive a lot addition from adjoining Lot 15. Lot 18 is proposed to be served by a Small Flow Treatment System (SFTS). The plan was disapproved for the following reasons:
* The planning module incorrectly identified the discharge as being to a perennial surface waterbody. The discharge is to a dry stream channel. As such, the planning module failed to identify on the topographic map all of the existing groundwater uses for 200 feet in width on each side of the channel downstream of the SFTS discharge until perennial conditions are reached.
* Since the discharge will cross property boundaries before perennial conditions are reached, property owners whose property will be impacted must be notified of the intent to discharge. Notification was not documented in the planning module submittal.
* Sufficient soils testing was not conducted on the proposed lot to document that the property is unsuitable for installation of an onlot sewage disposal system.
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.

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.
