HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
NOTICE OF PROMPT INTERIM RESPONSE Southcentral Region: Environmental Cleanup & Brownfields Program, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200, 717-705-4700.
Contact: Dennis Low, 717-705-4853.
Newberry Township PFC Site, Newberry and Fairview Townships, York County, Pennsylvania.
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). Specifically, this 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). Notice of this action was initially published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on December 30, 2023, and a corresponding public hearing was scheduled for February 13, 2024. See 50 Pa.B. 8131 (Dec. 30, 2023). However, due to the weather-related cancellation of the previously scheduled public hearing, DEP has opted to republish notice of this action, extend the public comment period an additional ninety (90) days from the publication of this notice, and reschedule the public hearing.
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 Perand 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 Section 202 of the Drinking Water Regulations, 25 Pa. Code § 109.202, and established maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) and maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). MCLs for PFOA and PFOS were set to 14 and 18 nanograms per liter (ng/L), respectively. See 25 Pa. Code § 109.202(a)(4)(i)—(ii). 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. From the sample results, DEP confirmed the presence of PFAS in groundwater and surface water. Specifically, thirteen (13) residential/commercial and two (2) public-supply wells/springs were found to contain PFOA and/or PFOS in excess of their respective MCLs. Id.
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 PFOA and/or PFOS MCLs throughout the course of the Site investigation. This would reduce the risk posed by ingestion of water containing PFOA and PFAS 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 seven thousand one hundred dollars ($7,100). In addition, DEP would implement activity and use limitations (AULs) either through environmental covenants or administrative orders. Said 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 also be placed on deed records that would 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 and will comply with the applicable requirement that ground water utilized for drinking-water use will comply the PFOA and PFOS MCLs. See 25 Pa. Code § 109.202(a)(4)(i)—(ii). 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 six thousand dollars ($6,000) per unit. Annual carbon change out and UV-light replacement is estimated at one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500). Annual sampling and analytical monitoring costs are estimated at one thousand dollars ($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 PFOA and/or PFOS MCLs until a POET can be installed on the wells at the impacted properties. These systems will be monitored and maintained by DEP until further notice.
DEP is providing notice of this action under HSCA Sections 505(b) and 506(b), 35 P.S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b). The public comment period on this action, and its attendant administrative record, will extend an additional ninety (90) days from the publication date of this notice, to June 14, 2024. The administrative record, which contains information about this Site and supports DEP's decision to perform this action, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record can be examined Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, 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: https://www.dep.pa.gov/About/Regional/Southcentral Region/Community%20Information/Pages/Newberry-Township-PFC-Site.aspx. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department 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, by June 14, 2024.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing that has been rescheduled for April 17, 2024 at 6:30 PM 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 PM, April 17, 2024 by calling John Repetz at 717-705-4904. There will be an informational presentation on DEP's activities at the Site prior to the public hearing.
If no person registers to present oral comments, by April 17, 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.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call John Repetz at the previously listed number or through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at 1-800-654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
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).

Approval of a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT III) plan for Ecopax, LLC located in Forks Township, Northampton County. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.111—129.115, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a RACT III plan and an amendment to the SIP for the polystyrene foam product manufacturing facility owned and operated by Ecopax, LLC.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT III approval for the facility, which are intended to satisfy the requirements for the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
The proposed conditions for the alternative RACT III determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into a revised operating permit (48-00095) for the facility. The relevant RACT III requirements will be submitted to U.S. EPA as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP and will remain in effect until replaced pursuant to 40 CFR Part 51 and approval by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Requirements that are not part of the RACT III determination will be excluded from the SIP submittal. The following is a summary of the proposed conditions for the alternative RACT III determination for this operation that will be submitted to the EPA as a SIP revision:
Ecopax has requested the following alternative case-by-case RACT III determination for the following sources through this significant operating permit modification, which will be submitted to the EPA as an amendment to the SIP:
For the regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) controlled processes, including the extruder lines, curing room, grinders, repelletizers, fluff silos, and thermoformers, RACT III shall be the continued operation of the RTO with a VOC destruction/removal efficiency (DRE) greater than 98%.
Other sources at the facility which are not included in the alternative RACT III determination include air contamination sources subject to a presumptive RACT requirement or RACT emissions limitation in 25 Pa. Code § 129.112, air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—114 because they have the PTE of less than 1 tpy of NOx and/or less than 1 tpy of VOC, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(c), and air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—114 because they are already subject to certain Chapter 129 RACT requirements (i.e., 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.51, 129.52(a)—(k) and Table I categories 1—11, 129.52a—129.52e, 129.54—129.63a, 129.64—129.69, 129.71—129.75, 129.77, and 129.101—129.107), in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(a).
The operating permit will contain additional recordkeeping and operating restrictions designed to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements.
Copies of the application, DEP's analysis and other documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915.
Any person(s) wishing to provide DEP with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this permit, may submit the information to the address shown in the preceding paragraph. Each written comment must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed permit No. 48-00095 and a concise statement regarding the relevancy of the information or objections to the issuance of the permit.
A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the comments received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified of the decision to hold a hearing by publication in the newspaper or the Pennsylvania Bulletin or by telephone, where DEP determines such notification is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Mark Wejkszner, Air Quality Program Manager, Air Quality Program, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915, phone number 570-826-2528 within 30 days after publication date.
