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

Notice of Prompt Interim Response

Plumstead Fire HSCA Site
Plumstead Township, Bucks County

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102—6020.1303), has initiated a prompt interim response at the Plumstead Fire HSCA Site, Plumstead Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

 The Plumstead Fire Site is located northeast of the intersection of Easton Road (Rt 611) and Stump Road in Plumstead Township Bucks County. On June 29, 2010 a building caught on fire at 5189 Stump Road, Pipersville, PA. An alternate address for the property is 5189 Stump Road, Plumsteadville, PA (''Site'').

 As a result of the fire and firefighting activities, in the course of which large quantities of water were sprayed on the fire, various chemical constituents that were stored on the property were released with the firefighting water runoff.

 Inspections by the Department at the time of the fire and in subsequent visits revealed that contaminated runoff from the fire fighting activities flowed into one of the adjacent ponds and, from that pond into the second adjacent pond, via a connecting culvert. When the water level in the second pond reached an overflow pipe, the water entered a previously dry swale and flowed into nearby fields, where it was observed seeping into the ground. In August soil samples collected from the edge of the ponds revealed elevated levels of Antimony. In September samples collected from the sediment on the bottom of the pond revealed elevated concentrations of Benzene, Benzoic Acid, Antimony, Sodium, and Manganese.

 Following the fire, the Bucks County Department of Health visited the homes of the residents and observed that the appearance and odor of the water from their wells were similar to the appearance and odor of water in the ponds. Samples were collected from these wells on various occasions between July and October. In several residential homes, the results revealed elevated levels of Benzene, Benzoic Acid, Antimony, Sodium, and Manganese. The wells serving many of these homes are considered shallow; they are less than 90 feet deep.

 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 initiated a prompt interim response action at the Site under Sections 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). In August 2010, a tanker truck was provided to 11 homes as a whole house water source. In addition, the Department has initiated the installation of deeper wells and/or treatment systems to address the contaminated water supplies and has initiated the draining and excavation of the ponds. The Department has determined that these actions are protective of human health and the environment, comply with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and are feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives with regard to the contaminated water supplies included no action, continued use of the tanker trucks, treatment only, and the installation of a waterline. The only alternative to draining and excavation of the ponds was no action.

 An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this prompt interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact the Bonnie McClennen at (484) 250-5965 or William Blasberg at (484) 250-5865 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Plumstead Township Municipal Building at 5186 Stump Road, Plumsteadville, PA 18949.

 Pursuant to Sections 505(b) and 506(d) of HSCA, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(d), the Department will conduct a public hearing on December 14th, 2010 at 7:00 pm at the Plumstead Township Municipal Building located at 5186 Stump Road, Plumsteadville, PA 18949. 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, Deborah Fries (484) 250-5808.

 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 Deborah Fries at the telephone number listed above 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 Prompt Interim Response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with Section 506(c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(c), the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business January 14, 2010. Written comments should be addressed to Bonnie McClennen, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

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

A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of cleanup standards or receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

 Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following site, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified as follows. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan.
