UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
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 of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.

Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The DEP may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides DEP's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

The variance request asked that ten (10) aboveground storage tank (AST) systems be excluded from the 1 x 10-6 cm/s maximum permeability requirement for emergency containment structures for ASTs installed after October 11, 1997, located in 25 Pa. Code § 245.542(d)(1). Documentation submitted with the variance request demonstrated that unique conditions at the refinery made compliance with the requirements of § 245.542(d)(1) technically impractical, infeasible, and unsafe, and that alternative monitoring and response capabilities at the refinery were as protective of human health and the environment as those requirements. A variance was granted with the following conditions: (1) American Refining Group, Inc. (ARG) shall continue to maintain the condition, integrity, and capacity of the emergency containment structures for the designated AST systems to be fully protective of the waters of this Commonwealth; (2) ARG shall conduct and document formal inspections of the emergency containment structures for the designated AST systems three times daily, every 8 hours; (3) ARG shall continue to maintain the refinery's response and remedial action capabilities in accordance with refinery's current Integrated Contingency Plan (ICP); (4) ARG shall continue to maintain the integrity and functionality of the refinery's onsite drainage system; (5) ARG shall submit, for DEP review and comment, drafts of proposed changes to the refinery's ICP that may impact the refinery's monitoring, response, and remedial action capabilities or the operation and maintenance of the refinery's onsite drainage system; (6) The variance approval applies only to the AST systems for which it was requested. AST systems installed at the refinery after the date of the variance approval must meet the permeability requirements in 25 Pa. Code § 245.542(d)(1), as applicable; (7) The variance approval will remain in effect until it is amended or revoked by DEP or terminated for any reason by ARG or DEP; (8) Failure of any of the emergency containment structures associated with the designated AST systems to contain the entirety of a release from a regulated AST system until it can be fully recovered will result in termination of the variance approval.
