HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Yuhas Dump Site—Phase 2
Pocono Township, Monroe CountyThe Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. Sections 6020.101 et.seq., reopens the administrative record on December 22, 2012, pursuant to Section 506(h) of HSCA, 35 P. S. Section 6020.506(h), to provide the public the opportunity to comment on the proposed addition to the previously selected interim response.
The Department reopens the administrative record pursuant to Section 506(g) and (h) of HSCA, 35 P. S. Sections 6020.506(g) and 6020.506(h). The Department is adding the following to the interim response selected in the January 25, 2012, Statement of Decision (SOD): demolition of the existing house (former Yuhas house) and the recycling and/or offsite disposal at a permitted facility of the demolition debris and any other excess wastes or recyclable materials generated during the interim response. The selected interim response in the approved SOD includes relocation of a portion of the Dry Sawmill Run away from the toe of the Construction and Demolition (''C&D'') waste pile, stabilization of the waste pile with the construction of a Mechanically Stabilized Embankment (''MSE Wall'') and the grading, covering and vegetation of the waste pile material.
The Department and Pocono Township have determined that the former Yuhas house should be demolished due to safety concerns and the Department needs additional space for the safe movement of equipment and for storage during site work. The house has suffered damage and deterioration as a result of fire, water, wind, vandals and appears unfit for human habitation; dangerous to life and safety; and the structure does not appear to be capable of being properly repaired. Neither the Department nor the Township has been able to contact the current owner of record, LIG Investments, Inc. The LIG/Yuhas property was for sale at the May 2, 2012 Judicial Tax Sale due to delinquent taxes. The property was not sold and is now on the Monroe County Repository Tax Sale List. On July 16, 2012, Pocono Township adopted a Dangerous Structures Ordinance, 2012-03, which would authorize the demolition of the dilapidated Yuhas house. On August 6, 2012, Pocono Township adopted Resolution No. 622, which provides for emergency action under Section 9 of Ordinance 2012-03 to allow the immediate demolition of the Yuhas house.
The new information is available within the administrative record for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at Pocono Township Municipal Building, P. O. Box 197 (Route 611), Tannersville, PA 18372 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The Township Building is closed from 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM for lunch.
The new information contained in the administrative record will be open for comment for 60 days from the date published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The administrative record will be open for comment from December 22, 2012 through February 20, 2013. Persons may submit written comments regarding the new information entered into the record during this time only, by sending their comments to Meg Boyer, 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 Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a Public Hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for February 6, 2013 at 10:30 AM at the Pocono Township Municipal Building. The testimony at the public hearing will be limited to the proposed addition to the interim response, which involves the demolition of the former Yuhas house and the recycling and/or offsite disposal at a permitted facility of the demolition debris and any other excess wastes or recyclable materials generated during the interim response. Persons wishing to present testimony at the February 6, 2013 Public Hearing regarding the addition to the interim response should register with Meg Boyer by telephone at (610) 861-2070, or in writing to Meg Boyer at the Department's Bethlehem District Office.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the February 6, 2013 hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact Meg Boyer or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Justification for Overriding County's Recommendations On September 5, 2008, the Department received comments from the Clearfield County Commissioners concerning the new permit application. After a full review of the permit application and the Commissioner's comments, the Department issued the Waste Management and Watersheds permits. Following are relevant comments pertaining to the application and the basis for overriding these comments:
Comment # 1: The proposed landfill is materially inconsistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan.
Response: The County's Comprehensive Plan addresses the development of new landfills in Chapter 2: ''Citizen Participation/ Visioning.'' This chapter is a compilation of a public survey. However, Chapter 8: ''Community Services and Utility Facilities'' refers to the County's Municipal Waste Management Plan. These plans are not required to address Residual Waste Facilities. Municipal zoning permits a residual waste facility. The Department did not consider the landfill to be inconsistent with the County's Comprehensive Plan or its land use policy.
Comment # 2: The proposed landfill would negatively impact our developing tourism industry.
Response: Impact on developing tourism is not a factor in the Department's application review.
Comment # 3: The proposed landfill would be detrimental to proposed ''West Branch'' scenic byway.
Response: The traffic impacts of this project were reviewed in detail and approved by PaDOT and have been addressed and concurred in by the Department.
Comment # 4: The proposed landfill would create traffic-associated impacts.
Response: The traffic impacts of this project were reviewed in detail and approved by PaDOT and have been addressed and concurred in by the Department.
Comment # 5: The proposed landfill could create environmental impacts to an exceptional value watershed.
Response: The proximity and possible impacts to the exceptional value waters have been evaluated in depth by the Department. The setbacks required by the regulations have been met and the potential impacts to the watershed have been minimized to the Department's satisfaction.
Comment # 6: The harms from the proposed landfill materially outweigh the benefits.
Response: The Department conducted an Environmental Assessment Analysis in which the information submitted by the applicant was utilized and independently reviewed by the Department. The Department performed the Environmental Assessment Analysis as required by the Department's regulations and concluded that the benefits of the project outweighed the harms. To see the specific analysis encompassed in the Environmental Assessment dated December 2011 which addresses the specific concerns outlined by the County, contact DEP's Northcentral Regional Office.
