The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S ), is proposing an interim response at the Forge PCE Site, Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The Department, under the authority of HSCA, has conducted further investigations at the Forge PCE Site (Site), located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County. These investigations have included soil and groundwater sampling at a site formerly occupied by the Forge Cleaning Center located in Phoenixville Borough, Chester County and monitoring of numerous private drinking water supply wells located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County. This monitoring included regular sampling and limited maintenance of six full-house carbon filter units previously installed by Phoenixville Borough. The filters were installed by Phoenixville Borough as a result of investigations of a former Borough Landfill located near the affected residential wells. Studies conducted by the Borough revealed that the Tetrachloroethene (PCE) contamination in the residential wells was not attributed to the landfill site. Subsequently the Department began its investigation of the Site under HSCA. The Department has identified a plume of contaminated groundwater affecting a number of private wells that supply water for domestic use at several residences along Second Avenue in Schuylkill Township. The contaminant of concern at this site, PCE, is a volatile organic compounds (VOCs) used in the dry cleaning industry. A former dry cleaning business named Forge Cleaning Center, located near the intersection of Starr Street and Nutt Road in Phoenixville Borough is the suspected source of the groundwater contamination. PCE has been detected at concentrations above the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania s applicable or relevant and appropriate standards in home wells, surface water and sediment. Standards exceeded by PCE included Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) of 5 micrograms per liter (ug/l) for drinking water, adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C.A. 300f) et seq. and by the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board pursuant to the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S ). Approximately ten wells are currently known to be affected or threatened by the contamination. To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes an interim response action at the Site under Sections 501(a) and 505(b) of HSCA. The Department is considering three alternative response actions to provide a long-term source of potable water to residents. Alternative 1) No Action: The No Action alternative provides a baseline against which all other alternatives can be compared. Under Alternative 1 the Department would discontinue monitoring and maintenance of the existing filtration units. If the Department selects the No Action alternative, the actual and potential health and environmental risk posed by the Site may worsen over time as the filters become ineffective at removing the contaminant. Alternative 2) Continued Maintenance of Carbon Filtration Units: Carbon Filtrations is effective for removing PCE from well water. However, Alternative 2 is not a permanent solution because carbon filter units would require many years of ongoing operations and maintenance. Alternative 3) Connection to a Water Supply System Utility: This alternative involves extension of the existing water supply main and connection of affected and threatened residences to the supply. This remedy would be implemented through a grant to the municipality (Schuylkill Township). This alternative would be a permanent solution, which would address all threats posed by the contaminants of concern to water supply wells in the vicinity of the Site. In evaluating this alternative to date, the Department has considered the criteria of permanence protection of human health and environment, and the alternative s ability to meet applicable, or relevant and appropriate state and federal requirements (ARARs). The Department has also considered cost-effectiveness in analyzing the alternatives. The Department finds that the No Action alternative would not be protective of the public health. The Department proposes Alternative 3, connection to a public water supply, based on its preference for a permanent solution. In respect of the permanence of the alternative, a public water connection is preferable to carbon filtration of individual wells. The Department s proposed alternative, connection to a public water supply, is protective of public health and the environment, complies with ARARs, and is feasible and cost-effective. An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department s office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken PA 19428, (610) Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Dustin Armstrong at (610) to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Schuylkill Township Municipal Building, 111 Valley Park Road, Schuylkill Township, Chester County. A public hearing is scheduled under Section 506(d) of HSCA for March 29, 2001, at 7 p.m. at the Schuylkill Township Municipal Building, 111 Valley Park Road. Persons who want to present formal oral comments regarding this interim response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department s Community Relations Coordinator, John Gerdelmann, at (610)
