Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Sadsbury Township 7182 White Oak Road
Christiana, PA 17509Lancaster County Plan Description: The Jonathan Zook proposed plan revision for a second dwelling on an existing lot using an onlot sewage system, was disapproved because the well tested on the previous subdivision creating this current lot (A3-36949-193-2) to be used for the second dwelling had a well sample for nitrate nitrogen of 9.52 ppm. However, the well sampled for this current proposal used a well supplying the new house but did not use the well for the previous subdivision which is nearer to the newly proposed residence and thus would better characterize the background nitrate nitrogen concentration underneath the site. Further, the preliminary hydrogeologic study from the previous subdivision determined that the minimum lot size of 26.5 acres was necessary to dilute the nitrates from the septic system to below the MCL of 10 ppm. The lot proposed for the second dwelling in this proposal is not in conformance with the previous planning as it is only 22.3 acres in size, over 4 acres too small based on the planning which created it. The Department of Environmental Protection code number for the current proposal is A3-36949-219-2 and the APS number is 663587. It is located on the west side of Mount Vernon Road off of Clearwater Drive in Sadsbury Township, Lancaster County.
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Paradise Township 2 Township Drive
Paradise, PA 17562Lancaster County Plan Description: The White Oak Road Subdivision proposed plan revision for two lot residential subdivision using an onlot sewage disposal plus a lot addition, was disapproved because The Preliminary Hydrogeologic study failed to accurately characterize the background nitrate-nitrogen concentration of the groundwater beneath the site of the subdivision. Groundwater samples that are not hydrogeologically representative of the site were used to generate an average concentration of nitrate-nitrogen for the mass balance equation. The groundwater sample which is most representative of the site is the sample from Lot 2, with a concentration of 11.6 mg/l, indication that the groundwater is already polluted with nitrates. If the groundwater is already polluted, the proposed groundwater recharge easements will do nothing to mitigate the impact of the onlot sewage system on the waters of this Commonwealth. Further, the proposed groundwater recharge easements are not located downgradient from the sewage disposal systems, both existing and proposed and would therefore have no effect on mitigating the impact of the on lot systems on the waters of this Commonwealth. The topographic lines indicate that the property is sloping generally to the northwest. The proposed groundwater recharge easements are located west and southwest of the sewage disposal systems. In addition, no language appeared in either the project narrative or on the plot plan to detail the restrictions to activities with on the groundwater recharge easements. The Department of Environmental Protection Code number for this project is A3-36943-177-2 and the APS number is 662268. The proposal is located on the north side of White Oak Road at its intersection with Peach Lane in Paradise Township, Lancaster County.
Plan Location: Located along Rice Road in Southampton Township, Franklin County.
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Southampton Township P. O. Box 352
Shippensburg, PA 17257Franklin County Plan Description: The Official Plan Revision, entitled Melvin Diem, proposing a new single-family residence using an individual onlot sewage disposal system, was disapproved because the hydrogeologic study required by Chapter 71 § 71.62(c) indicated that the proposed lot is not sized large enough to provide enough clean groundwater recharge to dilute the proposed septic system discharge which would lead to pollution of the waters of this Commonwealth. The groundwater easement proposed to mitigate said pollution largely failed to lie down gradient of the proposed lot and is not acceptable as a mitigation measure. As proposed, the onsite sewage system proposed for this subdivision will pollute the Waters of the Commonwealth in violation of The Clean Streams Law. Such a condition is considered a nuisance and is prohibited.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Dupont/New Castle Junk Site City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County Under Section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with CJLM Real Estate, LP (CJLM) concerning the redevelopment of a portion of the DuPont/New Castle Junk Site (Site).
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department and some of the responsible persons for the Site conducted response actions at the Site between 1992 and 2002. These response actions included treatment of wastes and soils contaminated by hazardous substances, followed by placement of a soil cap on one portion of the treated wastes and proper closure of a residual waste landfill on another portion of the Site. In the past, the Site contained two properties: the treated waste and soils area is primarily within the ''Battery property'' and the closed residual waste landfill is primarily within the ''China property.'' Realties U.S.A., Inc. currently owns the China property and D&D Development, LP (D&D) owns a portion of the Battery property.
CJLM is purchasing a portion of the Site that includes the China property and a portion of the Battery property, currently owned by D&D. CJLM is not a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.103). However, in recognition of the extensive cleanup efforts at the Site, under the terms of the Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement), CJLM has agreed to manage this portion of the Site property consistent with the completed response actions at the Battery Property. Any additional redevelopment on this parcel will require a Department approved work plan.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the Department and CJLM. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with CJLM shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies CJLM, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Gary Mechtly, Environmental Group Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Gary Mechtly, at (814) 332-6648. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
