FORMER CARDINAL HOME PRODUCTS, INC. FACILITY LINESVILLE BOROUGH, CRAWFORD COUNTY Under section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. 35 P. S. § 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into an Agreement among Linesville Realty Corporation (LRC) and the Economic Alliance Foundation, Inc.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED INTERIM RESPONSE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Department of Environmental Protection
Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program
Mon View Mining Site
Union and Carroll Townships
Washington CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.13305) (HSCA), is proposing a response action for the Mon View Mining site (Site). This Site consists of a closed deep mine complex where transformers and containers of waste have been abandoned at different locations on the property. Beginning in 1994, Mon View Mining Company (Mon View) took over operating the underground coal mine, coal refuse disposal facility and related coal preparation plant in Union and Carroll Townships in Washington County. Mon View ceased operating the deep mine and associated facilities in March 2002 and went into bankruptcy.
The Department has determined that hazardous substances, as defined by the HSCA, have been released to the public and the environment from contamination related to leaking drums and containers of waste and leaking transformers at the supply yard, prep plant, and coal refuse areas of the deep mine complex. Results of samples taken by the Department of soil impacted by the leaking containers found volatile and semi-VOCs, PCBs, benzene, tetrachloroethene and lead. The proposed alternative is to remove and properly dispose of the containers of waste and contaminated soil.
The following alternatives were considered by the Department: alternative 1, no action; alternative 2, fence and secure drums, transformers and contaminated soil areas; and alternative 3, remove and properly dispose of drums and containers of waste and excavate and properly dispose of contaminated soil. Alternative 3 was chosen because it complies with the applicable, relevant, appropriate requirements and is the most cost effective alternative compared to 1 and 2.
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 Interim Response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (412) 442-4000 for an appointment.
The administrative record will be open for comment from June 20, 2009, until September 19, 2009. Persons may submit written comments into the record, during this time only, by sending them to Annette Paluh, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222 or by delivering them to the office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments for inclusion in the administrative record at a public hearing. A public hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2009, at 6 p.m. at the Elrama Volunteer Fire Hall, located at 17 Elrama Avenue, Elrama, PA 15038. Persons wishing to present comments should register with Katy Gresh before 12 p.m., August 12, 2009, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 442-4203, kagresh@state.pa.us.
Persons with disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should call Katy Gresh at (412) 442-4203 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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.
