Slatedale, PA 18079Lehigh County Plan Description: The approved plan provides for an expansion to the existing Osprey House building at the Nature Center on a 13 acre tract. The expansion will include office space, an environmental education center with two public restrooms (800 gpd) and two rooms to serve as living quarters for two summer interns (400 gpd). An additional 600 gpd of sewage flows is included for planning and system design which would accommodate a possible future expansion to include an additional public restroom (400 gpd) and one additional room for another intern (200 gpd). A small flow treatment facility is proposed for the 1,800 gpd project. Soil testing for an onlot sewage disposal system demonstrated insufficient area with acceptable slopes to site a system. The proposed small flow treatment system will include two 2,300 gallon Norweco Aerobic Treatment Tanks in parallel, each capable of treating 1,000 gpd, a 600 square foot subsurface recirculating sand filter and a 1,000 gallon chlorine contact tank. A 4" PVC discharge line will discharge to the Lehigh River through an easement from Lehigh County. A private well serves water to the site. The proposed development is located at Paint Mill Road, Washington Township, Lehigh County.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Settlement Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Notice of Settlement under HSCA 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--9675), has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with Connell Limited Partnership (Connell), Fort Hill Square, One International Place, Boston, MA regarding the Modena Yard Site in Chester County, PA. The Modena Yard Site is located on an approximately 20-acre parcel of land situated in the Borough of Modena and East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, PA. The Site was formerly used as a scrap yard.
Beginning in August of 1988, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) undertook response actions at the Site under its authority under the CERCLA. EPA determined that there was a release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site and, as a result, the EPA selected certain response actions to be implemented at the Site. These included the excavation and grading of contaminated soils and the installation of a 30-inch final cover consisting of a grading layer, a geosynthetic liner, a soil layer and a topsoil layer.
On September 29, 1999, the EPA entered into a settlement agreement with Connell to perform removal response actions. Following implementation of response actions, Connell developed a Post-Removal Control Plan designed to provide inspection, maintenance and repair to the response actions implemented at the Site. The Plan was subsequently approved by the EPA. On September 29, 2006, the EPA entered into another settlement with Connell providing for Connell to enter into an arrangement with the Commonwealth for maintenance and oversight of the response actions at the Site.
The Department has entered into this Agreement to provide for oversight and maintenance of the Site. Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Connell agrees to reimburse the Department for periodic inspections of the Site. Long-term engineering and institutional controls at the Site have been secured through the issuance of a HSCA Section 512 Order to Connell and to the Chester County Recorder of Deeds.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Agreement may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 by contacting either George Horvat at (484) 250-5717 or Ragesh Patel (484) 250-5719. A public comment period on the Agreement will extend for a period of 60 days from the date of publication of this Notice. Interested persons may submit written comments regarding the Prospectral Purchaser Agreement to the Department by submitting them to George Horvat at the previous address.
Notice of Settlement under HSCA and CERCLA 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--9675), has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) with West Caln Township, 721 West Kings Highway, Wagontown, PA 19376, relating to the William Dick Lagoons Superfund Site in West Caln Township.
The William Dick Lagoons Site is a National Priority List Site under CERCLA of approximately 4.5 acres located along Telegraph and North Sandy Hill Roads in West Caln Township, PA. The Site makes up a small portion of a 170 acre tract of property (Armstrong Tract), the latter of which is being purchased by West Caln Township from Richard and Susan Dole Armstrong (Armstrongs) with proceeds from the Natural Lands Trust for preservation as open space in Chester County. The Site consists of significant soils and groundwater contamination associated with former hazardous waste disposal operations in lagoons located on the Site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with the Department, has implemented several remedial response actions at the Site, including the installation of a public water supply system to affected residences and various soil and groundwater treatment remedies.
West Caln Township has asserted and the Department has no information to indicate otherwise, that West Caln Township neither caused, contributed to, nor is otherwise liable for any contamination at the William Dick Lagoons Site. West Caln Township intends to purchase the Armstrong Tract with proceeds from the Natural Lands Trust and thereafter maintain and preserve the Armstrong Tract for use by future generations as open space in Chester County. Under the terms of the PPA with the Department, West Caln Township agrees: (1) to make a contribution towards the Department's response costs for the William Dick Lagoons Site; (2) not to exacerbate any existing contamination at the Site; and (3) to provide access and right of entry to the Department for the performance of any future response actions related to the William Dick Lagoons Site in exchange for a covenant not to sue and contribution protection from the Commonwealth.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The PPA may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 by contacting either Ragesh Patel at (484) 250-5719 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (484) 250-5866. A public comment period on the PPA will extend for a period of 60 days from the date of publication of this Notice. Interested persons may submit written comments regarding the PPA to the Department by submitting them to Ragesh Patel at the previous address.

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.

De Minimis Emissions Increases Authorized under 25 Pa. Code § 127.449.
Southeast Region: Air Quality Program, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19404, Janine Tulloch-Reid, Facilities Permitting Chief, (484) 250-5920.
TVOP-23-00003: ConocoPhillips Co. Trainer--PA Refinery (4101 Post Road, Trainer, PA 19061) a facility located in Trainer Borough, Delaware County. The facility's major emission points include refinery operations, which emits major levels of all criteria pollutants.
The requested de minimis increase is for the temporary operation to cool the hot slurry oil product from the fluidized catalytic cracker. Typically, the operation has this hot oil product being blended with heavy cycle oil to make No. 6 Fuel Oil. Due to the current market conditions, the hot slurry oil will be segregated for storage and shipping. ConocoPhillips Company plans to install and operate a temporary cooling system consisting of heat exchangers, pumps, a cooling tower and ancillary hoses and fittings until a detailed analysis of the facility cooling water balance is performed and a permanent solution is engineered. The volatile organic emissions from the hot oil slurry and the cooling tower operations are considered to be negligible due to the physical and operational properties of the proposed system. The PM emissions from the proposed cooling tower will be increased by 0.17 tpy as calculated using the procedures outlined in AP-42 5th Edition, Volume 1, Chapter 13.4.
The previous emissions increases qualify as de minimis increases under 25 Pa. Code § 127.449.
The permit will include monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements designed to keep the facility within all applicable air quality requirements.
