HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Prompt Interim Response
Laureldale Battery Casings Site
Laureldale Borough, Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (HSCA) has initiated a prompt interim response at the Laureldale Battery Casings Site (Site).
The prompt interim response has been initiated under sections 501(a) and 505(b) of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.501(a) and 6020-505(b)). The Site is located in the southern part of Laureldale Borough in a residential neighborhood. Battery casings were found at a shallow depth in the grass-covered fire lane/alley that runs between the houses on the 3200 block of McKently and Noble Streets.
The Department is proposing to remove and dispose of the battery waste and contaminated soils at the Site. The battery casings and any soils containing Site related contaminants in excess of Residential Statewide Health Standards will be removed and disposed. Clean fill will be used to replace the volume of excavated materials and the area will be graded and grass planted to restore the affected areas. This will fully eliminate the threat of exposure to the contaminated soil and battery casing waste. Institutional controls will not be required. This will comply with regulatory requirements and will be fully protective of human health and the environment. The cost of this response is estimated at $71,883.30. The removal was initiated on March 31, 2010. If confirmatory sampling indicates that the battery casings and contaminated soil extends into the properties where access cannot be obtained, institution controls in the form of a deed notice and use restriction will be instated for the properties.
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 in the Pennsylvania Bulletin 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 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Ruth Bishop at 717-705-4833. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Laureldale Borough Hall, 3406 Kutztown Road, Reading, PA, telephone 610-929-8700 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

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.
