HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Decree
Vandor/Furlong HSCA Site
Doylestown and Buckingham Townships
Bucks 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 Vandor/Furlong HSCA Site (Site) in Doylestown and Buckingham Townships, Bucks County, PA.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, is conducting an investigation of the Site. This investigation includes the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located in the vicinity of the Vandor/Furlong Site at the intersection of Route 263 and Edison Furlong Road in Bucks County, PA. Approximately 38 wells are contaminated or may potentially become contaminated with detectable levels of Trichloroethene (TCE). Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and breakdown products of TCE were also detected in some of the wells, but TCE is the primary contaminant of concern.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes a response action at the Site under section 501(a) of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department hereby proposes the installation of a waterline, including water mains and lateral connections to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action or the maintenance of existing/installation and continued monitoring and maintenance of whole-house carbon filtration units and/or supplying bottled water.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Charles Clark at (484) 250-5731 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Doylestown Township Municipal Building at 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901.
Under section 506(d) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(d)), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on January 7, 2009, with an inclement weather date of January 15, 2009, at 7 p.m. in the conference room at the Doylestown Township Building at 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this Interim Response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Lynda Rebarchak, at (484) 250-5820.
Any person with a disability who wishes to attend the public hearing and will require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak at the telephone number listed previously or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Services at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed Interim Response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business February 20, 2009. Written comments should be addressed to Charles Clark, Project Officer, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Charles Clark at (484) 250-5731.

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.
