HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notices of Prompt Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Jacob Kline Cooperage Site
City of Allentown, Lehigh County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has initiated a prompt response at the Jacob Kline Cooperage Site (site). This response has been undertaken under section 505(b) of HSCA. The site is located at 701--725 East Highland Street in the City of Allentown, Lehigh County, PA.
The site consists of wastes stored in 11 van-type truck trailers, two rolloff containers, and within drums on the ground next to these trailers. The wastes within the trailers are primarily contained within metal and plastic drums except for one of the trailers which contains a solid material stored directly in the trailer. The wastes are located in the northeast corner of the property near the intersection of E. Congress and N. Graham Streets. The site is located within a light industrial park and was used in the past by a drum recycling business, which operated on the property for many years until the early 1990s. An estimated 500 drums of waste will be addressed by this response action. Although there is no definitive inventory of the wastes contained in the drums at the site, it is believed that the wastes include oils, paints and solvents, corrosives, and other materials handled or generated by the drum reconditioners. Prior to the start of this response, the site was easily accessible and access was unrestricted.
The objective of the prompt interim response is to remove the hazardous substances and contaminants from the site and to safely dispose of them at offsite facilities that have regulatory approvals for the treatment and disposal. This response will eliminate the immediate and direct threats posed by these wastes to human health and safety and the environment.
Given the specific circumstances at this site, the Department determined that the removal of the hazardous substances and contaminants and offsite treatment and disposal is the only viable alternative to implement at this site. This response action is needed in a prompt manner to protest human health and the environment.
On November 1, 1999, the Department mobilized an interim response services contractor to the site to conduct a prompt interim response. The work at the site will include securing the work area, handling and staging of the waste containers, identification and analysis of the wastes, proper packaging of the wastes for offsite transportation, and the disposal of the wastes at approved facilities.
This notice is being provided under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the DEP Bethlehem District Office at 4530 Bath Pike (Route 512) in Hanover Township, Northampton County and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The administrative record will be open for comment from November 27, 1999, until February 25, 2000. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to James Kunkle, DEP Project Officer, at the DEP Bethlehem Office at 4530 Bath Pike (Route 512) in Hanover Township, Northampton County or by delivering them to this office in person.
In addition, persons may present oral comments on the remedy chosen by the Department, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for January 11, 2000 at 2 p.m. at the Bethlehem Office. Persons wishing to present comments must register with James Kunkle before 4 p.m. on January 5, 2000, by telephone at (610) 861-2070 or in writing at the DEP Bethlehem District Office.
If no person registers to present oral comments by January 5, 2000, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if individuals have registered, and if the hearing will be held, should contact James Kunkle.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should contact James Kunkle or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

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 Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of 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.

A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
