Wayne Township 3055 Ferguson Valley Rd McVeytown PA 17051 Mifflin County

Plan Description: The Sewage Facilities Planning Module, entitled Raymond J. Snyder, DEP Code No. A3-44915-112-1, proposed one new single family residential lot using an individual on-lot sewage disposal systems. The module was disapproved because the Nitrogen Stream Load Calculation report incorrectly used Beaverdam Run as the point of assessment. The plume from the proposed on lot system on Lot 2 will actually flow in the opposite direction towards an unnamed tributary of the Juniata River. When this is taken into consideration, the calculations show that there will be an impact on the High Quality stream. The applicant did not propose the use of best management practices for on lot sewage disposal to mitigate this impact to the stream.

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—6026.907).

 Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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 under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears.
