East Norriton, PA 19401-1616Montgomery County Plan Description: On November 24, 2009, the Southeast Regional Office approved the sewage facilities planning module for the Albert Einstein Regional Medical Center (DEP Code 1-46926-153-3J), located at 559 West Germantown Pike, in East Norriton Township, Montgomery County.
The planning module provides for adequate sewage facilities planning to permit the development of a 5-story, 224-bed hospital and a 2-story, 75,000 square foot medical office building. This project will be connected to the East Norriton Township collection system and will generate 92,000 gallons of sewage per day to be treated at the East Norriton-Plymouth-Whitpain Joint Sewer Authority Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Plan Description: On November 24, 2009, the Southeast Regional Office approved East Norriton Township's Act 537 Special Study. The Special Study provides for the following:
A sewage pumping station (''Einstein Pumping Station'') and a force main will be constructed, which will convey sewage flows from the Albert Einstein Regional Medical Center (''Medical Center'') property to an existing manhole in Germantown Pike, west of North Wales Road. The pumping station will be located in the western corner of the Medical Center property, southeast of Whitehall Road, and will have average design flows of 142,600 gallons per day.
East Norriton Township commits to continuing its existing infiltration and inflow (I/I) reduction program and to rehabilitating the Germantown Pump Station force main as its comprehensive, long-term program to address capacity shortfalls in the Germantown Pump Station service area.
A 225,000 gallon surge storage tank will be constructed on the Medical Center property. Sewage will be pumped from the Einstein Pumping Station into the surge storage tank when the maximum flow rate in the upstream conveyance facilities exceeds 2,400 gallons per minute.
Sewage from the Sandra Lane Pumping Station will be diverted from the Germantown Pumping Station to the Einstein Pumping Station.
The approval is made specifically contingent upon the following:
This plan also proposes the decommissioning of the Marion Avenue Pumping Station and the rerouting of the sewage flows from this pumping station and from North Whitehall Road to the gravity sewers in Barbara Drive. The Einstein Pumping Station will be sized to anticipate these flows. The submission does not include all of the information required by Chapter 71, Section 71.31(c). Specifically, the public notice provided with the Special Study does not include the decommissioning of the Marion Avenue Pumping Station and the rerouting of this sewage. Therefore, this activity is not included as part of this approval.

AddressCounty Multiple Multiple Chester County Municipalities—City of Coatesville, Parkesburg Borough, Caln, East Fallowfield, Highland, Sadsbury, Valley, West Brandywine, West Caln and West Sadsbury Townships.
Plan Description: On November 19, 2009, the Southeast Regional Office reissued and clarified its October 21, 2009, approval of the official sewage facilities plan titled Sewage Facilities Plan Update—Tributary Municipalities of Pennsylvania American Water Company, as prepared by URS Corporation dated August 2006, revised March 2009.
The reissued approval provides for the following:
1. The Pennsylvania American Water Company (PAWC) Coatesville wastewater treatment facility will be expanded from 3.85 million gallons per day (MGD) annual average flow to 7.0 MGD annual average flow. Capacity in the expanded facility will first be allocated to bulk customers consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in these municipalities' capacity agreements with PAWC, as presented in Appendix G of the plan. These bulk customers' capacity agreements are the partial basis of the sewage capacity needs projected in the plan. All other customers will be allocated capacity on a ''first-come-first serve'' basis.
2. The interceptor rehabilitation work approved as part of previous Corrective Action Plan/Connection Management Plan (CAP/CMP) quarterly updates is hereby memorialized through the Act 537 planning process. Additionally, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) accepts the clarification by URS Corp. to the Department in its November 18, 2009, correspondence that the specific interceptor work identified in the CAP/CMP quarterly updates has been completed or is approved for completion.
The Department offers the following comments on this regional plan:
3. Future improvements to the collection and conveyance system not covered under previous CAP/CMP approvals will be driven largely by the needs of new land development. Additional Act 537 planning must be conducted to address this issue for all municipalities, depending on need. The plan(s) must document existing and future capacities in all major interceptors and pump stations, funding for any required facility expansion, PNDI, and PHMC requirements for any proposed construction projects. The required planning can be included in the sewage facilities planning modules for affected new land developments.
4. We note that PAWC has provided an assurance to the Department that it will work with its customer municipalities to initiate additional Act 537 planning once the annual average flows at the plant reach 80 percent of the 7.0 MGD.
5. The capacity in the expanded plant is currently available to those municipalities that have completed Act 537 planning for their individual municipalities. Specifically, the City of Coatesville and Parkesburg Borough, and Caln, Valley and West Sadsbury Townships may utilize capacity in the expanded PAWC facility. Additional capacity in the expanded facility will not be available to East Fallowfield, Highland, Sadsbury, West Brandywine and West Caln Townships until the Department reviews and approves each municipality's individual Act 537 Plan.

Millville, PA 17846Columbia County Plan Description: The approved plan proposes to extend sewer service to 30 existing homes and the American Legion along Legion Road. The sewage will be treated at the existing Millville Sewage Treatment Plant. Two routes to convey the sewage have been evaluated and approved; both will use grinder pumps and pressure sewers and both will follow the same collection route. The conveyance route will be selected during the design stage when more detailed information is available. Option 3C is estimated to cost $1,235,725 and Option 3D is estimated to cost $1,116,100. The Department of Environmental Protection's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of Pine Township as appropriate.

Proposed Interim Response Lower Providence DCE
HSCA Site Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing an Interim Response at the Lower Providence DCE HSCA Site (Site) in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
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 Ridge Pike, Germantown Pike, and Evansburg Road in Lower Providence Township. Approximately 150 wells are contaminated or may potentially become contaminated with detectable levels of 1, 1-Dichloroethene (1, 1-DCE). Tetrachloroethene (PCE), Trichloroethene (TCE) and breakdown products of TCE were also detected in some of the wells, but 1, 1-DCE is the primary contaminant of concern.
To address the release and threat 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 (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 David Ewald at (484) 250-5725 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Lower Providence Community Library, 50 Park Lane Drive, Eagleville, PA 19403.
Under section 506(d) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(d)), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on January 20, 2010, at 7:00 PM in the hearing room of the Lower Providence Township Building at 100 Parklane Drive, Eagleville, PA. 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 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 March 19, 2010. Written comments should be addressed to David Ewald, Project Officer, Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

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.
