HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Interim Response
Middletown Township, Bucks County
Cameron-Saba Site The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is issuing this notice as a revision of the notice which was published in Vol. 30. No. 27 of the Pennsylvania Bulletin, dated July 1, 2000. This revision shall supersede the July 1, 2000 notice. The Department is issuing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA).
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, began a prompt interim response action on August 19, 1999 at the Cameron-Saba Site (site), located in Middletown Township, Bucks County: that action entails supplying bottled water to certain persons, in the vicinity of the site, whose water supply wells are contaminated. The Cameron-Saba Site is bounded on the north by the West Trenton rail line (formerly of the Reading Railroad) of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), on the Neshaminy Creek, and on the west by the Lincoln Highway. The Department has identified a plume of contaminated groundwater affecting a number of private wells that supply water for domestic use at several residences, or water for general use at several nonresidential properties. The contaminants of concern at this site include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), pesticides and inorganic compounds, that were detected in concentrations above the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's applicable or relevant and appropriate standards in home wells, surface water or sediment. Standards exceeded included Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for drinking water, adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. § 300f et seq., and by the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17). Approximately 100 wells are currently known to be affected or threatened by the contamination. The Department, as a prompt interim response under the authority of HSCA, is providing bottled water to users of affected wells as a short-term measure, to minimize the exposure to and threat from the contaminants.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes a further interim response action at the site under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)). The Department is considering three alternative response actions to provide a long-term source of potable water to residents. Additionally, the Department is presently conducting an investigation to determine the source of contamination in the area of the site.
Alternative 1) No Action: The ''No Action'' alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be compared. If the Department selects the ''No Action'' alternative, the actual and potential health and environmental risk posed by the site would remain the same.
Alternative 2) Carbon Filtration: Carbon Filtration is not a permanent solution and would require many years of ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
Alternative 3) Connection to a Public Water Supply: This alternative would be a permanent solution, which would address all threats posed by the contaminants of concern to water supply wells in the vicinity of the site.
In evaluating these alternatives to date, the Department has considered the criteria of permanence, protection of human health and environment, and the alternative's ability to meet applicable, or relevant and appropriate State and Federal requirements (ARARs). The Department has also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the alternatives. The Department finds that the ''No Action'' alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department proposes alternative 3, connection to a public water supply, based on its preference for a permanent solution. In respect of the permanence of the alternative, a public water connection is preferable to carbon filtration of individual wells.
The Department's proposed alternative, connection to a public water supply, is protective of public health and the environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and cost-effective.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact David Ewald at (610) 832-6200 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Middletown Township Municipal Building at 2140 Trenton Road in Middletown Township, Bucks County.
A public hearing is scheduled under Section 506(d) of HSCA for September 20, 2000 at 7 p.m. at the Middletown Township Municipal Building at 2140 Trenton Road. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610) 832-6228.
Persons with a disability who wish to attend the September 20 meeting and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact John Gerdelmann at the telephone number listed previously or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed interim response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with section 506(c) of HSCA, the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open and will close on Friday, November 3, 2000. Written comments should be addressed to David Ewald, Project Officer, at the Department's address listed previously. Individuals with questions concerning this notice should contact David Ewald at (610) 832-6200.
