Municipality Address County Harveys Lake Borough P.O. Box 60 Harveys Lake, PA 18618 Luzerne County Plan Description:
Act 537 Plan Update—Harveys Lake Borough, The plan was disapproved because it is not implementable. Per 25 Pa. Code § 71.32(d)(4), the Department must consider ''whether the official plan or official plan revision is able to be implemented.'' The alternative chosen by Harveys Lake Borough to address its long-term sewage disposal needs in the Plan is the construction of a new sewage holding tank for storing peak sewage flows. The sewage holding tank is to be located in Kingston Township and to be constructed, owned and operated by the Dallas Area Municipal Authority (Authority) with a reserve volume of One Million Gallons for Harveys Lake Borough. The construction of the new sewage holding tank, to store peak sewage flows, was an alternative in the March 15, 2021, Act 537 Plan Update Revision application prepared on behalf of the Authority and the municipalities of Dallas Township, Dallas Borough, Kingston Township and Lehman Township. Harveys Lake's chosen alternative is reliant upon the approval of the alternative in the Act 537 Plan Update Revision prepared on behalf of the Authority and the municipalities of Dallas Township, Dallas Borough, Kingston Township and Lehman Township. The Department is denying the March 15, 2021, Act 537 Plan Update Revision application prepared on behalf of the Authority and the municipalities of Dallas Township, Dallas Borough, Kingston Township and Lehman Township by letter dated October 16, 2023. Therefore, Harveys Lake Borough's Plan cannot be implemented, is technically deficient and is disapproved.

Code § 71.32(d)(4), the Department must consider ''whether the official plan or official plan revision is able to be implemented.'' The technical review of the Plan found that it was not presented as an implementable plan. See the following excerpts for evidence from the Plan that it is not implementable.
''The wastewater water planning needs and recommendations of the plan are listed below. However, without finalized inter-municipal agreements, development agreements, and favorable funding (private and public), alternatives may not be feasible. . .In addition, the four Municipalities may consider providing public sewer service in different areas if more funding becomes available through developers or private entities.'' Page ES-1 of the Executive Summary
''Matamoras Borough will identify additional grants and funding to make it financially feasible upon implementation of the Plan.'' Page ES-1 of the Executive Summary
''Milford Borough will identify additional grants and funding to make it financially feasible upon implementation of the Plan.'' Page ES-2 of the Executive Summary
''Without a finalized inter-municipal agreement (including updates to the MATW rules and regulations), development agreement(s), and favorable funding (public and private) these alternatives may not be feasible and not be implemented.'' Note (1) of the Selected Alternatives Phase II Implementation Schedule on Page ES-4 of the Executive Summary and on Page 8-3 of Chapter 8: Implementation Schedule and Justification for Selected Alternatives
''The extensions are proposed for the 5-10 year planning window; depending on available funding.'' Page 5-6 of Chapter 5: Wastewater Management Alternatives
''A wetland delineation to identify and define the actual locations of wetlands and their boundaries should be performed during the design phase if any expansion of the existing facilities implemented.'' Page 6-2 of Chapter 6: Evaluation of Alternatives
''The funding options available to finance the proposed structural alternative been briefly examined in this chapter; however the four municipalities, MATW Milford Water Authority, and Matamoras Municipal Authority should involve their solicitors and financial advisor(s) to determine the most viable method of financing the project(s).'' Page 6-9 of Chapter 6: Evaluation of Alternatives
''These alternatives are dependent upon finalization of inter-municipal agreement between each of the four municipalities, MATW, MWA, and MMA, availability of favorable funding with maximum grants, and the potential contributions made by land developers or private entities at the time of implementation.'' Page 8-1 of Chapter 8: Implementation Schedule and Justification for Selected Alternatives
''The implementation of Alternatives No. 2B, No. 3B, and No. 6F has been chosen and is anticipated to be completed in accordance with the projected implementation schedule assuming that a finalized inter-municipal agreement between all municipalities and authorities is finalized and funding is secured. Without the finalized inter-municipal agreement, development agreement(s), and favorable funding (public and private) these structural alternatives are not considered to be feasible and will not be implemented.'' Page 8-1 of Chapter 8: Implementation Schedule and Justification for Selected Alternatives
''In order to implement these structural alternatives while maintaining an affordable user rate, a more detailed financing plan consisting of the payment of tapping fees from new connections, grant money, capital contributions from developers, and a low interest (PENNVEST, R.U.S., County Grants, RCAP, etc.) loan or any combination is required.'' Page 8-2 of Chapter 8: Implementation Schedule and Justification for Selected Alternatives
''The project schedule for the proposed wastewater collection system extensions is contingent upon the receipt of affordable funding.'' Page 8-3 of Chapter 8: Implementation Schedule and Justification for Selected Alternatives
These excerpts from the Plan are evidence that it is not implementable. An implementable plan cannot be contingent on funding sources or an executed inter-municipal agreement.
LAND RECYCLING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
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.
Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

LAND RECYCLING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department Has Taken Action on the Following Plans and Reports Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.
Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

Newberry Township PFC Site
Newberry and Fairview Townships, York County, PA
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), 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 Newberry Township PFC site (Site). The prompt interim response has been initiated pursuant to Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P.S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020-505(b)).
The Site is located in Newberry and Fairview Townships, York County. Groundwater serving a number of residential and commercial wells and springs in the area of Newberry and Fairview Townships is contaminated with Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), a large class of man-made synthetic chemicals. The Site includes a mix of residential, commercial, and light-industrial properties. Public-water supply is interspersed throughout much of the Site. At the present time, the source(s) and extent of PFAS contamination has not been identified or determined.
On January 14, 2023 the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board amended Chapter 109 (§ 109.202 amended under section 4 of the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act) by setting maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) and maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) of 14 and 18 nanograms per liter (ng/L), respectively. Exposure to concentrations of PFOA and PFOS above the MCLs pose a threat to human health when ingested in water.
DEP has sampled private, commercial, and public-supply wells, monitor wells, springs, streams, and ponds since 2019 at the Site. The sampling has confirmed the presence of PFAS in groundwater and surface water. The sampling has identified 13 residential/commercial and 2 public-supply wells/springs that exceed the current Pennsylvania MCLs for PFOA and/or PFOS.
DEP considered three alternatives:
Alternative 1. No Action.
This alternative serves as a baseline and involves taking no action to remove, remediate, or contain the contaminated groundwater or reduce threats to human health at the Site. Risks posed by ingestion of water from contaminated private-water supplies would remain.
Alternative 2. Provision of Bottled Water and Institutional Controls.
This alternative provides for DEP to furnish commercial bottled water to impacted residences and businesses. Bottled water would be delivered regularly to each residence and business that has a water-supply contaminated in excess of the MCLs for PFOA and/or PFOS throughout the course of the Site investigation. This would reduce the risk posed by ingestion of water above the MCLs and thus provide an increase in protection of human health and the environment. The present annual cost of this alternative for an assumed four-person residence is $7,100. In addition, DEP would implement activity and use limitations (AULs) either through environmental covenants or administrative orders. Environmental covenants or administrative orders would be placed on deed records that would alert new property owners, and prospective property purchasers, of the health risks for continued use of contaminated private water-supplies.
Alternative 3. Installation of Point Of Entry Treatment (POET) Systems and Institutional Controls.
Under this alternative, POET systems would be installed by DEP at homes and businesses that utilize private-water supply wells or springs impacted by contamination above the established MCLs for PFOA and PFOS. DEP will provide bottled water until the POET systems are installed. Once installed, DEP will provide for the continuing operation and maintenance (O&M) of the POET systems throughout the course of the Site investigation. Should this alternative be selected as a final response action, then property owners would be responsible for continued O&M activities. In addition, DEP would implement AULs either through environmental covenants or administrative orders placed on deed records that would alert new property owners, and prospective property purchasers, of the health risks for continued use of contaminated private water-supplies. Notification will be placed on deed records and indicate that DEP has installed a POET system in order to mitigate potential threat to human health from the contaminated water-supply.
This alternative will be protective of human health. This alternative will comply with the applicable requirement that drinking-water use of groundwater meet the MCLs. The exhausted or ''spent'' carbon will be removed for regeneration or disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Initial installation of a POET system is estimated to cost $6,000 per unit. Annual carbon change out and UV-light replacement is estimated at $1,500. Annual sampling and analytical monitoring costs are estimated at $1,000 per system.
DEP has selected Alternative 3 as the prompt interim response. Bottled water will be delivered for residences and businesses that exceed the MCLs for PFOA and/or PFOS until a POET can be installed at the impacted properties. These systems will be monitored and maintained by DEP until further notice.
DEP is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P.S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b), and the publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record which contains information about this Site and which supports DEP's decision to perform this action at the Site is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the DEP's South Central Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Mr. Dennis Low at 717-705-4853. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed online at Newberry Township PFC Site (pa.gov).
The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on 12-30-2023 and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before 03-31-2024, by mailing them to Mr. Low at the DEP South Central Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200 or email to delow@pa.gov.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for February 13, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. at Cross Roads Middle School Auditorium, 535 Fishing Creek Road, Lewisberry, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4:00 p.m., February 13, 2024 by calling John Repetz at 717-705-4904 (jrepetz@pa.gov). There will be an informational presentation of the DEP's activities at this site prior to the public hearing.
If no person registers to present oral comments, by February 13, 2024 the hearing will not be held, but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact John Repetz at the number previously listed.
