This notice of final action is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.

Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for Coverage under General NPDES Permits. The approval for coverage under these General NPDES Permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions in each General Permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions in the respective permit. The permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 (relating to Administrative Agency Law). The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should contact a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Luzerne Plan Description: The Plan's selected construction alternative is Alternative No. 4—Construct Parallel Ten-Inch Force Mains. This alternative proposes the construction of two, ten-inch, PVC force mains (each approximately 4,400 feet in length) between the existing Wyoming Street Pump Station Site and the point at which wastewater flow transitions from pressurized to gravity flow on Highland Street as shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. The alternative further proposes the replacement of approximately 2,600 feet of an existing twelve-inch, gravity wastewater conveyance line, located between the pressure-to-gravity transition point on Highland Street and the Freeland Municipal Authority's (Authority) Wastewater Treatment Facility as shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. The twelve-inch gravity line will be replaced with a fifteen-inch, PVC gravity wastewater conveyance line, in an alignment shown on the graphic found in Appendix H of the Plan. All of the previously listed construction activities are designed to facilitate the abandonment of the Authority's existing eight-inch, cast-iron force main that conveys wastewater between the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site and the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
This planning approval also recognizes the following facilities that were previously constructed by the Authority and/or Foster Township (Township) without first receiving explicit sewage planning approval from the Department:
- Replacement of the Authority's only permitted Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Point's control and overflow structures at a location adjacent to the existing control and overflow structures, in lieu of locating the control and overflow structures adjacent to the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site.
- Construction of 400,000 gallons of equalization capacity, in lieu of 250,000 gallons of equalization capacity, at the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
- Decrease, from three to two, in the number of primary clarifier trains at the Authority's wastewater treatment facility.
- The construction of one pump station, in lieu of two pump stations (as proposed in the Borough's and Township's previously approved Official Sewage Facilities Plans) at the Wyoming Street Pump Station Site.
The Plan also calls for the preparation of a Special Study (defined in Section 71.1 of the Department's regulations), as a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plans of Freeland Borough (Borough) and Foster Township. The Special Study will be completed to thoroughly investigate the technical adequacy of the existing Wyoming Street Pump Station (previously constructed and now owned by Foster Township and operated by the Authority) to meet both the Borough's and the Township's long-term wastewater disposal needs. The investigation will include a period of wastewater flow monitoring, as described in the Plan, in both the Authority's and Foster Township's collection/conveyance systems. The flow monitoring data will be utilized to evaluate the following:
1. The ability of the Wyoming Street Pump Station (owned by the Township) and its associated force main(s) (owned by the Authority) to adequately convey both dry and wet-weather (including snowmelt) wastewater flows to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility under peak instantaneous flow conditions.
2. The ability of the Wyoming Street Pump Station to meet the redundancy and all other requirements found in the Department's Domestic Wastewater Facilities Manual in Major Section 30—Wastewater Pumping Stations.
3. The wastewater flow value, in gallons per day, of an Equivalent Dwelling Unit in both the Authority's and the Township's wastewater collection system service area. The base wastewater, sanitary component and the infiltration/inflow (I/I) component shall be determined for both wastewater collection systems' service areas. These figures will then be utilized to determine the peak hourly flow that can pass through the Authority's wastewater treatment facility, during wet-weather and snowmelt periods, with the treated discharge of the facility meeting all treated effluent discharge parameters found in the Authority's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
4. Based on the flow data gathered, as described in Item 3 above, and an evaluation of the Authority's wastewater collection, and Borough-owned stormwater collection systems in Sub-Areas 3 and 4 that are tributary to the existing CSO point, whether the existing CSO point still qualifies as a bona fide combined sewer overflow point under both the Department's and the United States Environmental Protection Agency's rules, regulations and technical guidance documents. If the Special Study concludes that the Authority's existing CSO point no longer qualifies as a bona fide combined sewer overflow point, the Special Study will provide alternatives for the adequate collection and conveyance of all dry and wet-weather flows (including snowmelt) to the Authority's wastewater treatment facility for treatment.
5. Based on the flow data gathered, as described in Item 3 above, and if it is determined that the Authority's existing CSO point is justified to remain in service, an analysis, using peak instantaneous flow data, which clearly determines whether the Authority's existing CSO point is able to capture, 85%, by volume, of the combined wastewater flows that pass through the point's control structure. This analysis will also evaluate alternatives to facilitate the capture of 85%, by volume, of the combined wastewater flows if it is determined that the Authority's wastewater conveyance system (including the Wyoming Street Pumping Station) cannot capture 85%, by volume, of the Authority's combined wastewater flows.
6. The need for additional rehabilitation and/or replacement of portions of the Authority's wastewater collection system to reduce infiltration and inflow to acceptable, non-excessive levels, as specified in Paragraph four found on Pages three and four of the Amendment to Consent Order and Adjudication dated January 13, 2000.
While this sewage planning approval correspondence now recognizes the existence of the Township-owned Wyoming Street Pump Station in the configuration described in the Plan, the Department, for sewage planning purposes, does not recognize a rated capacity for the pump station at this time. Numerous factors discussed in the Plan, with respect to incomplete or non-existent wastewater flow data, justify this position. Until adequate wastewater flow data and subsequent analyses (to be completed as part of the Special Study) fully substantiate the actual capacity of the Wyoming Street Pumping Station and its associated wastewater conveyance and treatment systems, new or additional wastewater flow that is to be conveyed through the Wyoming Street Pump Station will be controlled via sewer connection allocations administered by the Authority and granted by the Department under the terms of the January 13, 2000 Amendment to Consent Order and Adjudication between the Borough, Authority and the Department. The capacity of the Wyoming Street Pump Station shall be indeterminate until the Special Study proposed in the Plan is completed, approved by the Department and its recommended alternative(s) fully implemented.
Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative and operation of the proposed facilities will be performed by the Freeland Municipal Authority in conjunction with the tributary municipalities of Foster and Butler Townships.
Financing of the proposed wastewater conveyance system improvements is to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Development Program.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing. This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to Freeland Borough's and Foster Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site located at 900 Delaware Avenue, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County. This response has been started pursuant to Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b).
The Palmerton Leaking Sulfuric Acid Tank Site involves an abandoned 5,000 gallon capacity above-ground carbon steel storage tank that contains concentrated liquid sulfuric acid and sludge. On the afternoon of October 30, 2013 a PADEP representative discovered that the tank was leaking acid into the diked concrete secondary containment area. The acid was dripping from the bottom of the tank at a plug into the containment area which at the time contained about six inches of a brown liquid with white foam and an acidic odor. The pH was measured with pH paper and color pH indicator strips and found to be zero.
The Acid tank is located within the former New Jersey Zinc East Plant property at 900 Delaware Avenue, Palmerton Borough, Carbon County. The acid tank was registered as an above-ground hazardous substance storage tank with the Department by the Zinc Corp. of America, a subsidiary of Horsehead Industries, Inc., under Facility ID of 13-11273 and Tank ID of 617718 and Tank sequence number ZCA023A. The sulfuric acid, reportedly a 96% concentration, was used for the neutral- ization/pH reduction of the wastewater/groundwater treatment plant discharge most recently operated by Horsehead Industries, Inc. Horsehead Industries, Inc. declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in August 2002 and subsequently shutdown the treatment plant. Horsehead Corp. acquired portions of the property in December 2003 from the bankruptcy court not including the property on which the acid tank is located.
The Carbon County tax assessment parcel is reportedly 42A-47-B3 and Horsehead Liquidating Corp. is reportedly the property owner of record after the bankruptcy of Horsehead Industries, Inc. Access to the Site is through the entrance and the security guard shack of Horsehead Corp., who owns the property directly adjacent to the acid tank. The tank and containment area are within twenty feet of the outfall pit and weir that flows directly to the Aquashicola Creek. The Creek is about 300 feet from the tank. The closest residence is about 500 feet from the tank across the Creek along Little Gap Road.
The primary threats associated with the leaking sulfuric acid are the human health threat via direct contact with the acid and acidic solutions which could cause burns and tissue damage and the threat to the plants and animals in the Aquashicola Creek if the acid is released to the surface water and lowers the pH causing injury or mortality. Addition of water to the acid or many other chemicals could potentially cause an exothermic reaction that could release fumes and present a threat to nearby workers.
The Department decided that prompt action was needed to address the leaking concentrated sulfuric acid and the only practical alternative that would address the problem includes the transfer of the leaking acid and the acid/water solution from the diked secondary containment area into plastic tanks and containers. The response includes the cleaning and neutralization of the tank and containment area and the transportation and disposal of the waste liquids and sludges to hazardous waste management facilities.
The cleanup and neutralization of the tank and containment area was completed on December 23, 2013. The wastes generated from this cleanup include: the acid sludge and contaminated debris stored in 55-gallon drums (12) and the acid solution stored in 275 gallon totes (8) within secondary containment berms on the property. Off-site shipment of the wastes to a Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Facility is planned for January 2014.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA. 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 Palmerton Public Library located at 402 Delaware Avenue in Palmerton and available for review during library hours.
The administrative record will be open for comment from February 1, 2014 until May 1, 2014. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James Kunkle, PADEP Supervisor, at 4530 Bath Pike, Bethlehem, PA 18017 or by email to jkunkle@pa.gov.
In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing on Thursday March 13, 2014 at 10AM at the Palmerton Borough Hall located at 443 Delaware Avenue.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call James Kunkle at 610-861-2080 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
