HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notice of Opening of the Administrative Record Notice of a Proposed Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Gettysburg Foundry Site
Operable Unit 2 (Waste Removal)
Cumberland Township, Adams County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA) will begin an interim response on the property known as the Gettysburg Foundry Site (site) located approximately 5 miles south of Gettysburg on Business Route 15 (Emmitsburg Road) in Cumberland Township, Adams County.
The site, in operation from 1957 to March 1997, manufactured aluminum castings. During the process of melting aluminum material in the furnace, combined pieces of dirt, steel and aluminum would rise to the surface of the melted material. This dross was skimmed off and sent to another part of the plant for handling. At that time, the steel was removed by magnets and the rest of the material was screened to remove dirt and dust from the aluminum. The aluminum was sent back to the furnace, and the dirt and dust (referred to as aluminum dross fine waste) was disposed in two onsite pits. This waste is also currently stored in two buildings onsite. This waste is approximately 37% salt, and also contains elevated levels of lead and aluminum. Baghouse dust from the facility's air pollution control device was also mixed in with the dross fines. The dust is characteristically hazardous under TCLP for cadmium and lead. The buildings in which this waste is stored are in poor condition. The roof and wall of the Ball Mill Building are collapsing, threatening to expose this waste to the elements. There are approximately 500--700 drums which reportedly contain draw bench sludge, on a cement pad at the site. These drums are in deteriorating condition and some are leaking.
There is a threat to the public health and the environment from the continued release and threat of release of contaminants from the waste piles at this site.
Proposed Response
The Department considered two alternatives: 1) no action; and 2) removal of waste to prevent direct contact threats from the waste. The Department prefers the second alternative which is protective of human health and the environment.
Alternative 1--No Action
This alternative involves taking no action to remove, remediate or contain the contaminated media at the site. This alternative is not protective of human health and the environment, and does not comply with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs). This response would not be cost effective since the cost of the final remedy might increase if there was a further release of waste from the site.
Alternative 2--Waste Removal
This alternative involves removing the aboveground waste at the site. Under this alternative, the waste which is exposed to the environment or which is in deteriorating containers would be removed. This would include the waste piles stored in the buildings and drummed waste.
This alternative would be protective of human health and the environment. Removing the waste would prevent further releases to the environment until a final remedial action can be taken. It would also have the added benefit of preventing surface water from coming in contact with the waste and dispersing the waste around the site or offsite.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of the HSCA. The publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under the HSCA. The administrative record that contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at Gettysburg Foundry Site is available for public review and comment at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, located at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4125. A copy of the administrative record is also available at the Adams County Public Library at 140 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA and may be reviewed during regular library hours.
The administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to DEP before July 17, 1998, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed response action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, 1998, at 7 p.m., at the Adams County Library, 140 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., Friday, May 29, 1998, by calling Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 541-7969. If no person registers to present oral comments by May 29, 1998, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if persons have registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Mary Ann Fischer at the same number. If a hearing is not requested, a public meeting will still be held on June 2, 1998.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings should contact Mary Ann Fischer at (717) 541-7969, or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

Under Act 2, 1995
Preamble 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 identifies 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 the background or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide 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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's Regional Office under which the notice appears.
