LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration 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 final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a Site-Specific Standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Yuhas Dump Site
Pocono Township, Monroe CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has undertaken a prompt interim response at Yuhas Dump Site (''Site''). This response was initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Site is located at R. R. 1, Box 119, (Sullivan Trail Road) in Scotrun, Pocono Township.
The Yuhas Dump Site is a residential property that has been used for the disposal of an estimated 75,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition (''C&D'') waste, stumps and possibly contaminated soil. The C&D waste pile, which covers a significant portion of the property, is decomposing, eroding and is unstable. Cracks and fissures have formed in the pile and venting of steam and odors has been observed. The C&D waste was filled to the edge of where Dry Sawmill Run, a stream with a protected use designation of HQ-CWF, traverses the property and a large quantity of C&D waste has fallen into the stream. The Department is currently investigating this C&D waste area and will evaluate remedial alternatives to address this waste pile in a separate response action.
In addition to the C&D waste pile, numerous containers with unknown contents were placed or disposed of on the Yuhas property. These abandoned wastes in containers are the subject of the Department's prompt interim response and this public notice. Some of those containers were located in a garage on the first floor of the residence and others were situated at the rear of the property, to the west of Dry Sawmill Run. Those at the rear of the property consisted of approximately 30 fifty-five gallon drums and numerous pails and containers in various sizes. Approximately 25 of the drums were located in a trailer and the others were located on the ground directly under a fallen tree. Most of the pails/containers in various sizes were located on the ground and some were covered by an old military tent. The drums, pails and containers that were not under the tent were rusted, unlabeled and some were leaking. Odors were emanating from some of the drums and containers. The contents of all containers, both in the garage of the residence and at the rear of the property, were unknown.
The contents were subsequently sampled and the Department has identified the following hazardous substances and/or contaminants at the Site: trichloroethene, tetrachloroethene, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, 2-butanone (MEK), 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloro- ethane, 4-methyl-2-pentanone (MIBK), methylene chloride, styrene, 1,1-dichloroethane, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, aluminum, antimony, barium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, nickel and vanadium.
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA had occurred and that an ongoing release was likely if no actions were taken, the Department was authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)).
A Prompt Interim Response was justified at this Site for the following reasons: As noted previously, numerous containers of unknown contents were placed on or disposed on the property. Containers were rusted, leaking directly onto the surface of the ground and odors were present. Due to the abandonment and unrestricted access to the residence and surrounding property, the threat of vandalism to containers located both inside and outside the home was present and may have resulted in further releases and impacts to health, safety and the environment. The hazardous substances and/or contaminants in the abandoned containers onsite required characterization and shipment to an approved offsite waste disposal facility. Improper storage of the hazardous substances and/or contaminants posed an ongoing threat to public health, safety and the environment. The surrounding area is primarily rural residential and the residents rely on the groundwater for their drinking water. A release of the hazardous substances may have posed a threat to surface water, groundwater and water supplies. For these reasons, the Department believes that a Prompt Interim Response was needed at the Site and a delay in responding for the time required to develop and close an Administrative Record would have increased risks to public health, safety and the environment.
The Department conducted a prompt interim response at the Site to address the abandoned wastes in containers under its authority under section 501(a) of HSCA. Prompt action was necessary to protect the public health, safety and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated two alternatives for this proposed interim response which include:
1) Alternative 1: No Action
2) Alternative 2: Waste and Soil Characterization, Transportation and Disposal: The Department would sample, characterize for offsite disposal, transport and properly dispose of abandoned containerized chemicals, waste and/or contaminated substances and contaminated soil at the Site.
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence and cost-effectiveness, the Department selected Alternative 2 as the prompt interim response for the Site.
This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(b)). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Pocono Township Municipal Building, P. O. Box 197 (Route 611), Tannersville, PA 18372 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Township Building is closed from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m. for lunch. The administrative record will be open for comment from February 7, 2009, through May 8, 2009. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Meg Boyer, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for March 17, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. at the Pocono Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involved the characterization, staging, offsite transportation and proper disposal of the abandoned containerized wastes and contaminated soil that was completed at the Site. Persons wishing to present testimony at the March 17, 2009, hearing regarding this prompt interim response must register with Meg Boyer before March 11, 2009, by telephone at (610) 861-2070, or in writing to Meg Boyer at the Department's Bethlehem District Office. If no person registers to present oral comments by March 11, 2009, the hearing will not be held.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the March 17, 2009, hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Meg Boyer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for
the Casselman River in Somerset and Fayette CountiesCambria District Mining Office: 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on February 24, 2009, beginning at 1:30 p.m. at the Meyersdale Borough Building, 613 Second Street, Meyersdale, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment of the Casselman River has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded 38579 Casselman River 26 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and acidity (measured using pH) and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:
Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Total Recoverable/ Dissolved Aluminum
0.75 Total Recoverable Iron
1.5 Total Recoverable Manganese
1.00 Total Recoverable pH
6.0 to 9.0 NA The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations (LA) made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations (WLA) made to permitted point sources.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.
The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected from 2007 through 2008.
The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL, contact Jennifer Orr at (717) 772-5670 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Rachel Carson State Office Building, 10th Floor, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101. E-mail will be received at jeorr@ state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by March 11, 2009. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. Friday, February 20, 2009. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
