Project Description: The Department has completed its review of the Act 537 Official Sewage Plan (Plan) for Mt. Pocono Borough, Monroe County, dated March 1996 and revised May 1996, including the following letters from R.K.R. Hess Associates:
* July 16, 1996, when the Checklist was submitted,
* August 8, 1996, when revisions to Section 4, Alternatives Analysis, and Section 5, Cost Analysis were submitted,
* September 6, 1996, when PENNVEST Items were addressed, and
* November 22, 1996, when the Department's November 8, 1996 letter was addressed.
The Department has found that the Plan is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.
The Planning Area consists of the corporate limits of Mt. Pocono Borough; and two areas, in Coolbaugh Township, that are tributary to Mt. Pocono's Sanitary Sewerage System. These areas are denoted as the Summit Pointe development, and the Pocono Mountain Business Park.
The chosen alternative, denoted as Alternative A, consists of phased expansion of the existing sewage treatment plant to a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons per day over the 20-year planning period to meet the needs of the planning area. Subdivisions will analyze alternatives to stream discharge before connecting to the public sanitary sewer system.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.2(a)) (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold Mt. Pocono Borough responsible for complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative, as stated in the Plan's Resolution of Adoption and in the Schedule for Implementation Section of the Plan.
Conceptual approval leaves the following to be addressed at a later date: (a) the effluent limitations to satisfy special protection requirements and to protect health, and (b) specific treatment technologies. Tentative effluent limits were transmitted to Hess Associates via the Department's letter, dated October 30, 1995.
Location: Coleen Setzer property located at 6608 Church Road, about 1/2 mile north of intersection with West Park Avenue, Heidelberg Township, Lehigh County.
Project Description: This project proposes a small flow treatment plant to replace a malfunctioning onlot septic system on a 1.4 acre lot. Soil tests performed on the lot revealed no suitable locations for a replacement onlot disposal system. The proposed 400 gpd of sewage flows would be treated in a Jet model J-500 aerobic treatment tank (NSF Class 1 Classification), disinfected with a Jet Model 100 Home Tablet Chlorinator in a 200 gallon chlorine contact tank and discharged into a 300 square foot infiltration gallery constructed at shallow depth in an existing natural wetland on the property. An existing well serves the property.
Acceptance of this revision is conceptual. Effluent limits will be established for this treatment unit at time of application for the NPDES Permit.

Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in a Special Industrial Area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of the cleanup standards identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified below. During this comment period, a municipality may request that the person identified below, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), hereby gives notice that a prospective purchaser agreement (PPA) associated with the purchase of the Hatboro Borough Authority's Water System (Water System) which is impacted by the Jacksonville Road [Raymark] Site, has been entered into by the Department, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Philadelphia Suburban Water Company (PSWC).
The Jacksonville Road [Raymark] Site (Site) is on the National Priorities List and is currently undergoing remediation. A portion of the Water System is being used to implement the remedy selected for the Site. PSWC, the prospective purchaser of the Water System is not presently a responsible person who is liable for response costs at the Site. However, if PSWC acquires the Water System, it could become liable as an owner of the Site, under section 701 of HSCA and Section 107 of CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq.).
The PPA would resolve certain potential Department claims under section 507 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.507) against PSWC, the prospective purchaser of the Hatboro Borough Authority Water System. The PPA would require PSWC to pay $60,000 to the United States, $12,000 to the Commonwealth, provide Site access, cooperate fully with all response activities, and exercise due care to protect the public health and safety at the Site. Upon submitting this payment under the final PPA, PSWC resolves its liability with the Department and is eligible for contribution protection under HSCA regarding matters addressed in the PPA, as provided in section 705(c)(2) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)).
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section also provides that the PPA will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The PPA that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The PPA can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Thomas Sheehan at (610) 832-6149. The public comment period on the PPA will extend until February 21, 1997. Persons may submit written comments regarding the PPA to the Department by that date by submitting them to Thomas Sheehan at the above address.
