Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984.

   Plan Description:  The Plan's selected alternative is identified in Section VIII, page 50 of the plan. The alternative calls for the Township to do nothing at this time and implement the necessary conveyance system upgrades as required to accommodate increased wastewater flows resulting from proposed future development. The sewer mains required for upgrade within the next 20 years are shown in the Plan in Appendix P. It is anticipated that the upgrades will take place in the time frames noted in the Plan, if future development proceeds as currently anticipated. Until such time as the City of Bethlehem's Act 537 plan for planned wastewater treatment improvements at the City's plant are approved by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), wastewater flows from Bethlehem Township shall not exceed the current agreement between the Township and the City or a discharge of 3.0 mgd. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN DISAPPROVAL


Plan Disapprovals Granted under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)

   Southcentral Region:  Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.

   Plan Location:

Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
Jackson Township 439 Roth's Church Road Spring Grove, PA 17362 York

   Plan Description:  John Klingaman, Jr. A3-67931-245-2: The plan consists of a two lot single-family residential subdivision on 17.35 acres with total proposed sewage flows of 800 gpd to be treated by individual onlot disposal systems. The proposed development is located on the northeastern corner of Bentz and North Grant Roads in Jackson Township, York County. The plan was disapproved because the groundwater easement proposed to mitigate the impact of the nitrate-nitrogen plume from the proposed sewage system is not down gradient from the absorption area of the onlot disposal system, as recommended by the Preliminary Hydrogeologic Study submitted with the planning information. Such a condition would be expected to cause pollution of the waters of this Commonwealth and is prohibited under The Clean Streams Law.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988

Notice of Proposed Interim Response

Cross Keys HSCA Site
Doylestown, Buckingham and Plumstead
Townships, Bucks County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (USCA), is proposing a response action at the Cross Keys HSCA Site (Site) in Doylestown, Buckingham and Plumstead Townships, Bucks County, PA.

   The Department, under the authority of HSCA, has been conducting an environmental investigation of the Site. This investigation includes the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located in the vicinity of the intersection of Swamp Road (Rt. 313) and North Easton Road. Approximately 100 wells are contaminated or may potentially become contaminated with detectable levels of Tetrachloroethene (PCE), 1,1-Dichloroethene (1,1,-DCE) and 1,4-Dioxane.

   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 to implement a response action at the Site under sections 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 (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action or the 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 Sabrina Chrzanowski at (484) 250-5965 to arrange for an appointment. Additional copies of the Administrative Record are available for review at the Doylestown Township Municipal Building at 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901; the Buckingham Township Municipal Building at 4613 Hughesian Drive, Buckingham, PA 18912; and the Plumstead Township Municipal Building at 5186 Stump Road, Plumsteadville, PA 18949.

   Under section 506(d) of HSCA, the Department shall conduct a public hearing on July 30, 2009, at 7 p.m. at the Doylestown Township Municipal Building located at 425 Wells Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this proposed 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 number listed previously or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service 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 September 20, 2009. Written comments should be addressed to Sabrina Chrzanowski, Project Officer, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

   Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Sabrina Chrzanowski at (484) 250-5965.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995

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.
