HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement East Tenth Street Site
Borough of Marcus Hook, Delaware County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq.) (CERCLA), has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with Keystone Community Alliance, LLC and Keystone Community Alliance-Marcus Hook, LP (collectively KCA), for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances from the East Tenth Street site, located near the intersection of East Tenth Street and Penn Avenue in the Borough of Marcus Hook, Delaware County, PA. The site presently includes 24 individual parcels, or lots owned by various entities.
The site consists of a property formerly owned and operated by FMC Corporation (FMC). Prior to that time, the property was owned and operated by American Viscose Corporation. Both entities manufactured viscose rayon and cellophane on the 36-acre site. American Viscose operated at the site from 1910-1963 when it was sold to FMC who continued operations until 1977 when FMC closed the facility. The site was sold to Marcus Hook Development Park (MHDP) in 1978. MHDP conducted salvage operations at the property. In 1986, much of the site was sold to Marcus Hook Business and Commerce Center (MHBCC). In February 1991, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) executed three Administrative Orders by Consent (AOC) with FMC Corp., Lassoff Group (a property manager for MHBCC at the time) and MCBCC to conduct solid waste removal activities under the oversight of EPA.
The Department initiated a HSCA response at the site under a Response Justification Document dated March 24, 1998. The Department has been conducting a site characterization to determine if additional response actions are needed to address remaining hazardous substance at the site including soil and groundwater contamination, buried asbestos and abandoned hazardous materials remaining onsite. A Prompt Interim Response was completed in 2000 and documented in the official HSCA Administrative Record at a public hearing held September 27, 2000 and in a Final End of Project Report, dated August 13, 2001. The findings of the first phase of the Site Investigation have been documented in a Final Report, dated June 2002.
The Department has selected an Interim Response Action, under the provisions of HSCA, based on the findings of the June 2002 Final Report. The Interim Response Action selected by the Department consists of excavating and removing, to properly permitted disposal facilities, the contaminated soils and contaminated contents of subsurface structures located on the various parcels or lots at this site. These activities were carried out on the Site by FMC Corporation under a Consent Order and Agreement between FMC Corporation and the Department. Also under the Consent Order and Agreement, FMC is currently carrying out activities related to the expansion of the Site Investigation through the initiation of a deep groundwater study, the expansion of the prior surface water and sediment investigation and the detailed and thorough study of the Carbon Disulfide contamination found on Lot 19.
The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claim against KCA. Therefore, KCA shall reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $25,000 and shall receive contribution protection for claims related to its purchase and ownership of some of the lots that comprise the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, which states the ''settlement shall become final upon the Department's filing of responses to significant written comments.'' The Consent Order and Agreement that contains the specific terms of the agreement is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401, by contacting William H. Blasberg at (484) 250-5865. William H. Blasberg can also be contacted electronically at wblasberg@state.pa.us. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend 60 days from December 15, 2007. Interested parties may submit written comments regarding the Agreement within 60 days from December 15, 2007 by submitting them to William H. Blasberg at the previous address.
Notice of Proposed Prompt Interim Response Under The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Laurys Station Propane Site
North Whitehall Township, Lehigh 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 Laurys Station Propane Site (Site). This response has been initiated under sections 501(g) and 505(b) and (c) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(g) and 6020(b) and (c)). The Site is located along SR 145, at and around its intersection with Mauser Street and Rising Sun Road in Laurys Station, North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, PA.
On August 9, 2007, the Department began investigating an indoor odor complaint at a private residence located along Route 145 (Residence), in Laurys Station. Upon investigation of the Residence by Emergency Response personnel, air monitoring equipment detected a potentially explosive atmosphere and oxygen levels that would not sustain life (only 10%). Drinking water samples taken from the Residence, as well as from several other homes surrounding it, showed propane in the drinking water at levels as high as 9,100 parts per billion (ppb). Sampling of the soil gases by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between the restaurant across the street, located along Route 145 (Restaurant) and the Residence (the Hot Zone) revealed propane levels ranging between 110,000 parts per million (ppm) and 230,000 ppm. The Department, EPA and two experts in propane characteristics and leaks determined that immediate remedial actions to address the high levels of explosive gases in the soil and groundwater were necessary.
Because of these very hazardous conditions, North Whitehall Township Emergency Management personnel issued an evacuation order to the affected residents on August 10, 2007. Local, county and State officials have requested the potential explosive concentrations in the soil be remediated. Also, due to the complexity of this case and the resources it would demand, the North Whitehall Township Board of Supervisors issued a Declaration of Disaster Emergency on September 13, 2007. Lastly, the Department, the Agency for Toxic Study and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and EPA developed fact sheets for residents within and surrounding the area of concern. The fact sheets were issued around the area in September and October 2007.
A prompt interim response is justified at this Site because there are explosive levels of propane in the sump area of the Residence and surrounding subsurface, which is also primarily residential and in a highly traveled area. The Department believes that a prompt interim response is needed at the Site and cannot delay the response for the time required to completely develop and close an Administrative Record. The proposed remedy is expected to take less than 1 year to implement at a cost under $2 million.
The Department evaluated two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) No Action.
2) The purchase and installation of LEL or propane monitors in surrounding homes and businesses to protect the population from possible migration of the explosive and oxygen depleting contaminant; The installation of lateral connections to the available public water system line for possibly two homes that have impacted wells; Design and install a soil venting system in the Hot Zone area to decrease the explosive concentrations in areas accessible to the public; Design and install an active venting system for the evacuated Residence to address vapor intrusion pathways into the home considering the physical and explosive properties of propane and other related compounds and the short-term relocation of the affected residents, if needed.
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative No. 2 as the proposed interim response for the Site.
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 the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the North Whitehall Municipal Building, 3256 Levans Road, Coplay, PA and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The administrative record will be open for comment from December 15, 2007 through March 13, 2008. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Ronald Schock, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for Tuesday, January 29, 2008, at 10 a.m., at the Laurys Station Fire Company, which is located at 5314 Egypt Road, Laurys Station, PA. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the proposed prompt interim response, which involves the remediation of unsafe levels of propane in soils and groundwater. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded. Persons wishing to present testimony at the January 29, 2008, hearing regarding this prompt interim response relating to the unsafe levels of propane should register with Ronald Schock before January 22, 2008, by telephone at (610) 861-2070, or in writing at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person. If no person registers to present oral comments by the date specified above, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the January 29, 2008 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Ronald Schock or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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.
