HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Interim Response
Lenape Manufacturing HSCA Site, East Rockhill Township, Bucks County. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), is proposing an Interim Response at the Lenape Manufacturing HSCA Site (Site) in East Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, is conducting an investigation of the Site. This investigation includes the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located in the vicinity of the former Lenape Manufacturing facility at 1803 North 5th Street, Perkasie, PA. Approximately 55 wells are contaminated or may potentially become contaminated with detectable levels of Trichloroethene (TCE). Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and breakdown products of TCE were also detected in some of the wells, but TCE is the primary contaminant of concern.
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 response action at the Site under section 501(a) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.501(a)). The Department hereby proposes the installation of a waterline, including water mains and lateral connections to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action or the installation and continued monitoring and maintenance of whole-house carbon filtration units and/or supplying bottled water.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Natalie Huff at (484) 250-5722 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the East Rockhill Township Municipal Building at 1622 Ridge Road, Perkasie, PA 18944.
Under section 506(d) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(d)), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on September 15, 2008, at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Bucks County Community College Upper Bucks Campus, 1 Hillendale Road in Perkasie. Anyone who would like 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, Lynda Rebarchak, at (484) 250-5820.
Any person with a disability who wishes to attend the public hearing and will require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak at the telephone number listed above 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 until close of business October 20, 2008. Written comments should be addressed to Natalie Huff, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Natalie Huff at (484) 250 5722.
