Mt. Holly Springs, PA 17065-1503Cumberland Plan Description: Disapproval of a revision to the Official Sewage Plan of Dickinson Township, Cumberland County. The proposed Sam Brown Subdivision consists of three new residential building lots proposing individual onlot sewage disposal systems and a residual lot containing an existing dwelling with an individual onlot sewage disposal system. The plan was disapproved because the preliminary hydrogeologic study separated the site into two watersheds for the purpose of showing that the development of the tract located in one watershed could be sustained by the background nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in that particular watershed. However, none of the water samples taken to indicate background are in the watershed area proposed for development. The study inaccurately characterized the Site-Specific background under the proposed lots. This proposed development is located on both sides of Walnut Bottom Road, with the proposed new lots on the southeast side and the residue located on the northwest side, just east of Richland Road.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Proposed Remedial Response
Intercourse TCE Site
Leacock Township, Lancaster 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 a remedial response at the Intercourse TCE Site (Site).
The Site is located in Leacock Township, Lancaster County, PA and has commercial and residential land use surrounded by agriculture. From 2005 through 2008, residential well sampling was completed at 360 properties. Of these 360 properties, TCE has been detected in well water at 150 properties with 74 properties returning TCE concentrations greater than 5 parts per billion (ppb). TCE is listed as a probable human carcinogen by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Chronic effects to the liver, kidneys and immune and endocrine systems have been seen in humans exposed to trichloroethylene occupationally or from contaminanted drinking water. The Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for public water supplies and the Statewide Health Standard for groundwater cleanup for TCE is 5 ppb. Except for a development that has installed a treated community water supply, residents in the area rely on private wells for their water supplies. The Department and its contractor, Groundwater & Environmental Services, Inc. conducted a remedial investigation that found TCE in the groundwater at levels from nondetect to 398 ppb. Groundwater flow is controlled by a karst network of vertical and horizontal solution channels and structural fractures. Major fractures/solution features were found acting as the transport for the contaminated groundwater plume that extents to the area south of Old Philadelphia Pike, east of Clearview and Belmont Roads, north of Pequea Lane and west of Carriage Drive. A remedial response action is justified to remove the exposure risks posed by a hazardous substance in the groundwater serving residential well supplies.
After considering alternatives that include the use of bottled water and individual home point of entry carbon treatment systems, the proposed response is the construction of a new municipal water supply system. Although this alternative is more expensive than the other alternatives, the benefits outweigh the costs. This alternative is superior to the other alternatives because it eliminates all exposure associated with private use of groundwater (ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact), eliminates the need for long term monitoring of individual wells and eliminates the need for deed notices and/or restrictions. Also, constant monitoring by the public water supplier ensures protection of public health through compliance with the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. The response will include installing the water supply infrastructure, the lateral water line from the curb into each residence and connecting this line into the home water distribution system. Any fees related to the initial connection to the system and all necessary restoration work would be included in the response. The response would require the Township to enact a mandatory tap-in ordinance for properties within the plume and prohibit installation of new residential wells within the plume. Residences, businesses and institutions connected to the public supply shall be responsible for customary continuing service payments.
This response is a final remedial response under section 504 of the HSCA for the exposure of residents to water supplies using contaminated groundwater. Additional response action may be needed to achieve a complete, permanent and final cleanup for the site. Treatment technologies that address aquifer restoration and/or protection of the environment, such as ex-situ or in-situ treatment technologies, may be considered in the future provided a technically feasible and cost-effective approach can be developed.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and the publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Crystal Snook at (717) 705-6645. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Leacock Township Building, 3545 West Newport Road, Intercourse, PA, (717) 768-8585 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 14, 2009, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before June 12, 2009, by mailing them to Crystal Snook at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200. The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for April 27, 2009, at 7 p.m. at the Intercourse Fire Company located at 10 North Hollander Road, Gordonville, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., April 17, 2009, by calling Lauri Lebo at (717) 705-4703.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Lauri Lebo at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the West Branch Susquehanna River Watershed The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) are holding a public meeting on March 26, 2009, at 7 p.m., at the Clearfield County Conservation District, 650 Leonard Street, Clearfield, PA. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the West Branch Susquehanna River. In accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act, stream segments in the West Branch Susquehanna River have been identified as impaired due to high levels of metals and low pH as a result of abandoned mine drainage.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in the West Branch Susquehanna River for iron, manganese, aluminum and acidity. Loads have been allocated to both point and nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using field data collected in 2004 and 2005, as well as data collected from prior water quality surveys performed by other agencies.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on Department's web site (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than 60 days from the date of this Pennsylvania Bulletin notice, May 13, 2009. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
