HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Interim Response
Reeders TCE Site
Jackson Township, Monroe County The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. § 6020.101 et seq. (''HSCA''), has initiated a prompt interim response action at the Reeders TCE Site (''Site''). This response has been undertaken pursuant to Sections 505(b) & (c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.505(b) & (c). The Site is located along Route 715 in the Village of Reeders, Jackson Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
In December 1991, a residential property near the intersection of Church Road and Route 715 detected trichloroethene (TCE) in their well water supply as high as 8,700 parts per billion (ppb). The Department conducted further well water supply sampling of surrounding residential properties and found three additional residents had detections of TCE above the state maximum contaminant level (MCL) or drinking water standard of 5 ppb.
In January 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) installed carbon filtration systems for the four home water supplies that exceeded the MCL for TCE.
In February 1992, the Department performed a soil gas survey in the village of Reeders to determine the source of the TCE. The highest soil gas concentration (1,147 parts per billion volume or ppbv) was detected adjacent to a shed on the property identified as P-1. However, surface soil samples collected near the shed detected no TCE or any other volatile organic compound (VOC). The results of the soil gas investigation did not reveal the source of the TCE. EPA performed a Screening Site Inspection (SSI) in 1995 and issued the report in March 1996. The report documented high concentrations of TCE in residential wells, but TCE was not detected in soil or surface water samples. A definitive source of the TCE impacts was not identified.
In 2003, public water was extended to the Church Road area of Reeders. All residents who were affected by the TCE groundwater contamination are connected to the public water supply line maintained by the Jackson Township Water Authority.
From May 2010 to March 2011, the Department conducted a vapor intrusion study that included soil gas, subslab and indoor air sampling to determine if there is a risk associated with the TCE-contaminated groundwater plume. In February 2011, TCE was detected in the air in the basement of a residential property at a concentration of 21 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), which is above the Act 2 Statewide Health Standard screening level for TCE in indoor air of 12 ug/m3 (DEP Residential MSC).
The Department has determined that TCE, a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA, has been released at the Site.
Based upon the fact that a release of a hazardous substance as defined by HSCA has occurred and that an ongoing release is likely if no actions are taken, the Department is authorized to undertake a response action at this Site under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a).
Due to the fluctuations of the TCE in the contaminated groundwater, indoor air TCE concentrations have also been measured at times to be above the Act 2 Statewide Health Standard screening level for TCE in indoor air. For the vapor intrusion study that was conducted, TCE was detected at a residential property with concentration ranging from 1.5 ug/m3 (lowest) to 21 ug/m3 (highest). The source of the TCE is unknown and there-fore, removal of the source area is not an option.
This prompt interim response will cost less than $2 million and take less than 1 year to implement.
The Department is undertaking a prompt interim response at the Site pursuant to its authority under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). Prompt action is necessary to protect the public health, safety, and the environment from the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Site. The Department evaluated alternatives for this proposed interim response which included:
1) No Action
2) Monitored Natural Attenuation
3) Installation of a Soil Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System
Based upon an evaluation of the Alternatives using criteria including protection of human health and the environment, compliance with applicable and relevant and appropriate requirements (ARARs), feasibility, permanence, and cost-effectiveness, the Department has selected Alternative 3 as the interim response for the Site. A soil vapor intrusion mitigation system which is similar to a radon removal system will be installed by the Department in the residence with the TCE concentrations greater than the State-wide Health Standard screening level.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(b). The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of the response action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Jackson Township Municipal Building, 2162 Route 715, Reeders, Pennsylvania 18352 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 p.m. The administrative record will be open for comment from September 3, 2011 through December 2, 2011. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Ronald Schock, Project Officer, at the Department's Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017, or by delivering them to that office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for October 19, 2011 at 10:30 AM at the Jackson Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the prompt interim response, which involves the installation of a soil vapor intrusion mitigation system. An informal public meeting will be held after the public hearing is concluded.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the October 19, 2011 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Ronald Schock at (610) 861-2155 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
