HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe 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 to provide vapor mitigation systems to certain residences in the vicinity of the Industrial Solvents & Chemical Company Site (Site).
The Site is located at 210 Stevens Road, York Haven, Newberry Township, York County, PA, immediately adjacent to Interstate 83. The Site is located in a rural area and is surrounded by residential, commercial and light industrial land use. Industrial Solvents Chemical Company (ISSC) was a former chemical product distributor and solvent recycling facility. The 9-acre site was a solvent reprocessing facility from 1979 until the Department revoked ISCC's operating permit in August 1989. The operator abandoned the facility in 1990 after declaring bankruptcy. Many documented releases occurred during operation of the facility. Over 600,000 gallons of waste in aboveground tanks and approximately 6,700 drums of waste were abandoned at the Site. The onsite soil and on- and off-site groundwater are contaminated with VOCs.
The Department conducted an interim response to stabilize conditions at the Site beginning in August 1990. In October 1991, the Site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priorities List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response. A responsible party group, the ISCC Steering Committee, formed in August 1993, signed a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) to conduct the waste characterization. Under additional COAs the responsible party group has removed all containerized waste from the Site and provided public water service to residences impacted above Health Standards by March 1997.
The Statement of Decision for the final response was signed in August 1998. The response included alternate water supplies for impacted residences to provide for future protectiveness, eliminate direct contact threats on Site, reduce the migration of groundwater contamination off the Site and treat surface water throughout the area of the groundwater contamination plume. The Site was removed from the Pennsylvania Priority List on October 31, 1998. Work on the final extension of the existing waterline was completed on July 5, 1999. The design for the asphalt cap at the ISCC facility was completed in June 2003 and the remedial response was completed by November 2004. The Department continues to monitor down-gradient residential wells.
The Department's Waste Management Program and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under EPA RCRA Corrective Action Program, conducted an Environmental Indicator Study of the Site and consequently an additional study was conducted for groundwater, indoor air, and subslab soil gas. Based on the information obtained from the studies, chlorinated VOCs were detected in soil vapor samples on and off the Site. Exceedance of the vapor intrusion screening levels for soil vapor was found in the area of the plant property in sampling conducted during April and May of 2005. Indoor air sampling in October 2006 and January 2007 detected indoor air parameters above their respective indoor air standards within three residences in the vicinity of the Site.
The Department considered two alternatives: (1) Institutional controls, no action for vapor intrusion affecting indoor air of residential homes; and (2) Installation of vapor mitigation systems to remove the vapor intrusion pathway and institutional controls. The Department has selected Alternative 2 as the preferred alternative because it is protective, cost effective and mitigates the vapor intrusion threat immediately upon completion. Vapor intrusion will be addressed through site-specific engineering controls consisting of installing vapor mitigation systems to eliminate the route of exposure resulting in an indoor air direct contact or inhalation threat. This is not a final remedial action; further investigation will be conducted to determine the extent of the vapor intrusion threat from the Site.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)) and publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The administrative record which contains information about this Site and which supports the Department's decision to perform these actions at the Site is available for public review and comment. The administrative record can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Steve DeMars at (717) 705-4832.
The administrative record will be open for comment from today's date and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding these actions to the Department before January 16, 2009, by mailing them to Steve DeMars at the previous address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the chosen action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for December 11, 2008, at 7 p.m. at the Newberry Township Administration Building, 1915 Old Trail Road, Etters, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comments at that hearing should register before 4 p.m., December 5, 2008, by calling Lauri Lebo at (717) 705-4703. An informational meeting will be held following the hearing.
Persons with a disability, who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lauri Lebo at the previous number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. 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 analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
