HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Settlement Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act The Tank Car Corporation of America; Township of Springfield, Montgomery County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), 35 P.S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601—9675, has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) with the Township of Springfield regarding the Tank Car Corporation of America site (Site).
The Site, which currently consists of land totaling approximately 7.9 acres, formerly hosted a railroad tank car rehabilitation business. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected the Site for a removal response in 2007. EPA's actions involved the removal of hazardous substances from tanks and pipings and the excavation of contaminated soils. In addition, the EPA excavated a lagoon system, backfilled it with sandblasting grit, and placed a clay and modified stone cap on top to limit potential exposure. The sandblasting grit contains some inorganic and organic contamination. EPA concluded its response action in 2010, and continues to coordinate with DEP regarding the remaining contamination and any future redevelopment.
The Township of Springfield acquired the Site in order to restore it into a public park. Under the terms of the Agreement with the Department, the Township of Springfield will evaluate any remaining contamination at the Site and will remediate the Site, as may be necessary, through the Departments Land Recycling Program (''Act 2'').
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.1113. The agreements may be examined at the Department's offices at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 by contacting Lena Harper at lharper@pa.gov or 484-250-5721 and Robert Schena at roschena@pa.gov or 484-250-5865. The Department will accept public comments for a period of 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. Interested persons may submit written comments regarding this PPA and its amendments by submitting them to Lena Harper at the Department's address as listed above.

PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Final State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the Line 138 Service Abandonment and Lateral Construction Project Southwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Rita A. Coleman, 412-442-4000.
WQ05-011, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC (Applicant), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E. Charleston, WV 25314. Line 138 Service Abandonment and Lateral Construction Project (Project), in Springhill, Henry Clay and Wharton Townships, Fayette County and Addison and Elk Lick Townships, Somerset County, ACOE Pittsburgh District. The proposed project starts approximately 2.25 miles southeast of the intersection of State Route 857 and Gans Road in Springhill Township, Fayette County (Lake Lynn, PA, WV Quadrangle N: 39°, 43`, 16"; W: -79°, 45`, 49") and ends approximately 0.7 mile southwest of the intersection of State Route 669 and Ash Hill Road in Elk Lick Township, Somerset County (Grantsville, MD, PA Quadrangle N: 39°, 43`, 22"; W: -79°, 10`, 18").
On May 20, 2015, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 717f) seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Project (FERC Docket No. CP15-495-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on 9/17/15, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP15-495-000).
On August 14, 2015, Applicant requested a state water quality certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Project includes the operation and maintenance of some segments of the existing, approximately 33-mile, Line 138 natural gas pipeline, consisting of 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch and 16-inch pipeline, within an existing 50-foot right-of-way, where service is being abandoned. Columbia proposes to remove approximately 0.18 mile of exposed pipeline, two (2) residential tap consumers, two (2) meter stations, one (1) odorizer, one (1) siphon, five (5) ground valves and eight (8) mainline valves. Columbia plans to grout 28 road crossings to abandon in place.
Columbia also proposes to construct an approximate 0.65-mile, 2-inch lateral extension within the existing 50-foot wide Line 138 right-of-way (ROW) in order to maintain service to the Firm Transportation customer and their operations. The Firm Transportation customer is served from Line 138 through which service will be abandoned, Columbia proposes to maintain gas service to this customer by installing a lateral extension within the Line 138 ROW to connect with Lines 1804 and 10240. The lateral extension project will involve construction activities within the existing 50-foot wide ROW, acquisition of 50 feet of new ROW to connect the lateral to the Line 1804 and 10240 ROW, two (2) new isolation valves on Lines 1804 and 10240, and a contractor/staging yard all located in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The proposed lateral extension activities are herein referred to as the ''Lateral Construction Project''.
In Pennsylvania, the Project, as proposed, will require impacts to 0.3416 acre of:
Laurel Run (HQ-CWF), Reason Run (WWF), Collier Run (WWF) and Zehner Run (HQ-CWF), and unnamed tributaries of Patterson Run (HQ-CWF), Big Sandy Creek (HQ-CWF), Youghiogheny River (WWF), Chub Run (WWF), Mill Run (WWF), Zehner Run (HQ-CWF), Big Shade Run (CWF), 5.05 acres of floodway, 0.8664 acre of temporary PEM wetland impacts, and 0.0292 acre of PEM and PSS permanent impacts.
