HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Prompt Interim Response The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Hemlock Road Site, one of the disposal areas that make up the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site. This response has been initiated pursuant to sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020.505(b)).
The Bear Creek Area Chemical Site includes, among other things, at least 24 areas where the Department knows or has evidence to suggest that industrial wastes were historically disposed, and the surface water, groundwater, soils and sediments that have been contaminated from hazardous substances and contaminants that have migrated from the disposal areas. The individual disposal areas are located in Concord, Fairview and Parker Townships, Butler County and Perry Township, Armstrong County. In the site area, the Department has provided approximately 800 homes and businesses with a permanent water system as part of the Groundwater Operable Unit for the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site. A more detailed description of the location for each of the 24 individual disposal areas is located in the administrative record compiled for this response.
The Hemlock Road Site is located in a sparsely populated residential area with undeveloped woodlands that has been subject to surface and deep mining for coal. Active and inactive oil and gas wells are common in the area. The disposal area at the Hemlock Road Site consists of two separate deposit areas with a combination of wastes deposited on the ground surface and beneath the waters of two small ponds. The thickness of the deposited waste ranges from a thin veneer to areas up to 4 feet thick on the ground surface, while the submerged deposits are up to 9 feet thick. The total volume of waste is estimated to be approximately 5,900 cubic yards. Any potential surface water runoff and transport off the disposal area would drain into unnamed tributaries of the South Branch of Bear Creek.
The following hazardous substances have been found in waste and environmental media at one or more of the disposal areas and are present at the Hemlock Road Site: resorcinol, xylene, benzene, acetone, phenols, formaldehyde, chloromethane, bromomethane, methyl ethyl ketone, carbon disulfide, trichloroethane, ethyl benzene, nickel, lead, chromium, copper, aluminum sulfate and arsenic.
To date, no peer-reviewed, or health or environmental agency-approved health-based advisory levels or maximum contaminant levels exist for resorcinol and the above-mentioned site-related contaminants for water or soils. The 5 parts per billion threshold Medium Specific Concentration (MSC) for resorcinol contained in 25 Pa. Code § 250, Appendix A, table 6 is a default value and was not derived from actual toxicological data used in the development of Statewide Health Standards under the Land Recycling Act. Accordingly, the risks associated with the presence of these compounds in drinking water, wastes, and contaminated soils are not known. Further, the Department can not conclude that the presence of these substances does not threaten human health and the environment. As a result, the Department has decided that a response action is appropriate to protect public health and safety.
For this prompt interim response, the Department considered three alternatives for the Hemlock Road Site.
Alternative 1--No Action:
This alternative would involve no further action to eliminate or reduce threats posed by the site.
Alternative 2--Removal of Wastes:
* Excavation of contaminated wastes and soils;
* Solidification of liquid wastes;
* Offsite disposal in an approved facility;
* Regrading and revegetation of excavated areas or reestablishment of ponds, pending landowner request.
Alternative 3--Ex-Situ Solidification/Stabilization, On-Site Disposal
* Excavation of contaminated wastes and soils;
* Solidification of liquid wastes;
* Onsite disposal beneath a soil cap;
* Regrading and revegetation of excavation and disposal areas.
Each alternative was evaluated with respect to four comparison criteria of: (1) the extent to which each alternative protects the public health and the environment; (2) the extent to which each alternative complies with or otherwise addresses Applicable or Relevant and Appropriate Requirements; (3) the extent to which each alternative is feasible, effective, implementable and permanent; and (4) the relative cost of each alternative. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative, so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.
Based on the comparative analysis the Department chose to implement Alternative 2--Removal and solidification of wastes for offsite disposal at the Hemlock Road Site. The prior provision of safe drinking water to the public in the area of the Hemlock Road site (as well as all over the Bear Creek Area Chemical Site), made the release of contaminants to the groundwater is less of a concern from the human health perspective (that is, exposure through drinking groundwater). The only other significant routes of potential exposure to Hemlock Road waste constituents are by means of direct contact, surface water runoff into streams, and the groundwater to surface water pathway. The removal alternative will effectively eliminate the direct contact, groundwater and surface water runoff routes. The cost of Alternative 2 is estimated at $949,482. This alternative was selected because it protects, in the most cost-effective manner, the public and ecological receptors from direct contact with wastes or surface water runoff contaminated with site-related hazardous substances.
This notice is being provided pursuant to section 506(b) of HSCA. The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response, is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Telephone before hand for an appointment (814) 332-6648.
The administrative record will be open for comment from October 11, 2008 until January 9, 2009. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Charles Tordella, Project Manager, at the Department's Northwest Regional Office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, or by delivering them to the office in person. In addition, the Department will hold a public meeting on November 20, 2008, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Fairview Township Municipal Building, 1571 Hooker Road, Karns City, PA 16041, if requested by one or more members of the public. The meeting's purpose will be for the Department to answer the public's questions concerning the response at the Hemlock Road Site. Also, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments, for inclusion into the administrative record, regarding the chosen prompt interim response, at a public hearing following the public meeting. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register with Gary Mechtly at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before November 6, 2008, by telephone or in writing. If no one requests a meeting or hearing, they will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has requested a public meeting or registered to present oral comments at the public hearing, should contact Gary Mechtly. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the meeting and require auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Gary Mechtly or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
