HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Interim Response
Sobeck Scrap Yard Site
Kennedy Township, Allegheny CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) is proposing an interim response at the Sobeck Scrap Yard (Site), located on Downs Drive, Kennedy Township, Allegheny County.
The Sobeck Scrap Yard property is located on Downs Drive about 1 mile southeast of the Coraopolis interchange at Interstate 79 (near Neville Island) in Kennedy Township, Allegheny County. From 1975 through to early 2007, the property was used as a scrap operating facility for trucks, tanks, electrical transformers and supplies from a variety of businesses. The property was also used as a transfer station for a sewage hauling business. This property is unfenced. Results of samples taken of the surface soil located within the Site indicate contamination above the Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act for lead, PCBs, antimony, zinc, naphthalene, 1,3,4-trimethylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and heptachlor. Most of the scrap material at the Site has been remove, however there is a concern that this unfenced property is attracting nearby residents, including children, as a walking/play area potentially exposing them to contaminated soil.
The objective and scope of the interim response is the cleanup of contamination related to the scrap yard. Contaminated soil will be excavated and properly disposed. If needed, clean soil will be used to cover any depressions that remain as a result of the clean up work.
The following alternatives were evaluated: (1) no action; (2) install a chain-link fence around scrap yard; and (3) cleanup and dispose of contaminated soil. The selected alternative is number three. This alternative was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements to the greatest extent compared to the other alternatives and is the most cost effective.
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 action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Pittsburgh Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA15222 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Contact Edward Litwin at (412) 442-4000 to schedule a review of this record.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 7, 2008, until September 5, 2008. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Edward Litwin at the Department's Pittsburgh Regional Office, 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. The Department has scheduled the hearing for July 21, 2008, at the Kennedy Township Municipal Building, 340 Forest Grove Road, Coraopolis, PA 15108 at 6 p.m. Person wishing to present comments must register with Helen Humphreys by noon on July 21, 2008, at (412) 442-4000 or in writing at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
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 at (412) 442-4000 or through the Pennsylvania AT & T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311--1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.
