HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

NOTICE OF PROMPT INTERIM RESPONSE UNDER THE HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP ACT

   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 Clements Landfill site. This response has been undertaken under Section 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b)). The site is located at: Ontelaunee and Perry Townships, Berks County, PA.

   The Clements Landfill Site (Site) is located approximately one and one-half miles east of Route 61, and is bordered by Birch Hill Road to the north, Shoemakersville Road to the east, Ontelaunee Drive to the south, and Kerns Road extending from the south to west-side of the site. The entire area surrounding the Site consists of residential and agricultural lands. The Site, an inactive landfill since 1970, is 68.29 acres on which approximately 25 acres are land filled.

   In June 2000, the Department sampled 13 residential wells adjacent to the Site. Three adjacent properties south of the Site, located on a geologic fracture trace running through the land filled area, have volatile organic compounds (VOC) contaminations above regulatory standards. Trichloroethylene (TCE) levels ranged from 24 micrograms per liter (µg/L) to 73 µg/L, vinyl chloride from 4 µg/L to 27 µg/L and cis-1, 2-Dichloroethylene (cis-1,2-DCE) from 79 to 140 µg/L. The regulatory limits for these VOCs in groundwater are 5 µg/L, 2 µg/L, and 70 µg/L respectively. Re-sampling of the impacted well water supplies confirmed these levels of VOC contamination.

   The Department proposes a prompt interim response at this site to protect public health and safety or the environment. This determination is based on the continued release of VOCs to the groundwater, and the actual human exposure to hazardous substances via inhalation, ingestion and dermal contact.

   The Department considered three alternatives: 1. No action, which allows the residents to have continued exposure to the VOC contamination; 2. Bottled water, which effectively removes the risk posed by ingestion, but would not remove the risk posed by inhalation and dermal contact; 3. Point-of-use water treatment systems that will treat the contaminated water to effectively remove the current human ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact threats. This alternative will be protective of human health and the environment.

   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 the 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 this action 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 Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Richard Morgan at (717) 705-4844. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Department's Reading District Office located at 1005 Crossroads Boulevard, Reading, PA 19605 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by contacting Donna Good at (610) 916-0100.

   The Administrative record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before May 25, 2001, by mailing them to Richard Morgan at PA Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.

   The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for March 28, 2001 at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill Valley Middle School located at 114 Ontelaunee Drive, Leesport, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4 p.m., March 23, 2001 by calling Sandra Roderick at (717) 705-4931.

   If no person registers to present oral comments by March 23, 2001, the hearing will not be held, but will be replaced with an informational meeting. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, and if the hearing will be held, should also contact Sandra Roderick at the same number above. 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 call Sandra Roderick at the above number or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
