PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY (PWS) PERMITS

   The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on applications received under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17) for the construction, substantial modification or operation of a public water system.

   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. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988

Proposed Interim Response

Everglade Junkyard Site
Surface Soils and Waste
Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) is proposing a response action for the surface soils and waste at the Everglade Junkyard Site (Site). The Site is located on Everglade Road about 1 mile south of Route 30 in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County. The Site is the location of the former Everglade Iron and Steel Company. Contaminants at this Site include PCBs, lead and VOCs. These contaminates exceed Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act.

   The following alternatives were evaluated: (1) no action; (2) construct fence around the Site; (3) excavate and dispose of waste, debris and all contaminated surface soil; and (4) remove and dispose of waste, large debris and PCB hotspots; cover remaining contaminated material with clean soil. The selected alternative is number four. This alternative was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant and appropriate requirements and is the most cost effective.

   This proposed response consists of removal of waste, large debris and soil contaminated with elevated levels of PCBs. Impacted areas would then be covered with clean soil and revegetated. A soil management plan and deed restrictions would be used to ensure that the cap remains intact and the contaminated material is handled properly if disturbed.

   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 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 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 November 8, 2008, until February 6, 2009. Person may submit written comments to the administrative record during this time by sending them to Dawna Saunders at 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 on December 9, 2008, at 6 p.m. at the Hempfield Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present comments for inclusion in the Administrative Record may do so at this time.

   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.
