[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1983-0002; FRL-9908-42-Region-3]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; 
National Priorities List: Deletion of the Moyer's Landfill Superfund 
Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region III is 
publishing a direct final Notice of Deletion of the Moyer's Landfill 
Superfund Site (Site) located in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery 
County, Pennsylvania, from the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, 
promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, 
is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution 
Contingency Plan (NCP). This direct final deletion is being published 
by EPA with the concurrence of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 
through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection 
(PADEP), because EPA has determined that all appropriate response 
actions under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year 
reviews, have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude 
future actions under Superfund.

DATES: This direct final deletion is effective May 27, 2014 unless EPA 
receives adverse comments by April 28, 2014. If adverse comments are 
received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final 
deletion in the Federal Register informing the public that the deletion 
will not take effect.

I. Introduction

    EPA Region III is publishing this direct final Notice of Deletion 
of the Moyer's Landfill Superfund Site from the National Priorities 
List (NPL). The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300, which is 
the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 
(NCP), which EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of 
sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health, 
welfare, or the environment. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of 
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund). 
As described in 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the 
NPL remain eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions if future 
conditions warrant such actions.
    Because EPA considers this action to be noncontroversial and 
routine, this action will be effective May 27, 2014 unless EPA receives 
adverse comments by April 28, 2014. Along with this direct final Notice 
of Deletion, EPA is co-publishing a Notice of Intent to Delete in the 
``Proposed Rules'' section of the Federal Register. If adverse comments 
are received within the 30-day public comment period on this deletion 
action, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final 
Notice of Deletion before the effective date of the deletion and the 
deletion will not take effect. EPA will, as appropriate, prepare a 
response to comments and continue with the deletion process on the 
basis of the Notice of Intent to Delete and the comments already 
received. There will be no additional opportunity to comment.
    Section II of this document explains the criteria for deleting 
sites from the NPL. Section III discusses the procedures that EPA is 
using for this action. Section IV discusses the Moyer's Landfill 
Superfund Site and

[[Page 17067]]

demonstrates how it meets the deletion criteria. Section V discusses 
EPA's action to delete the Site from the NPL unless adverse comments 
are received during the public comment period.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

    The NCP establishes the criteria that EPA uses to delete sites from 
the NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), sites may be deleted 
from the NPL where no further response is appropriate. In making such a 
determination pursuant to 40 CFR 300.425(e), EPA will consider, in 
consultation with the Commonwealth, whether any of the following 
criteria have been met:
    i. Responsible parties or other persons have implemented all 
appropriate response actions required;
    ii. All appropriate Fund-financed response under CERCLA has been 
implemented, and no further response action by responsible parties is 
appropriate; or
    iii. The remedial investigation has shown that the release poses no 
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore, 
the taking of remedial measures is not appropriate.
    Pursuant to CERCLA section 121(c) and the NCP, EPA conducts five-
year reviews to ensure the continued protectiveness of remedial actions 
where hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remain at a 
site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted 
exposure. EPA conducts such five-year reviews even if a site is deleted 
from the NPL. EPA may initiate further action to ensure continued 
protectiveness at a deleted site if new information becomes available 
that indicates such action is appropriate. Whenever there is a 
significant release from a site deleted from the NPL, the deleted site 
may be restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking 
system.

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures apply to deletion of the Site:
    (1) EPA consulted with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania prior to 
developing this direct final Notice of Deletion and the Notice of 
Intent to Delete the Site co-published today in the ``Proposed Rules'' 
section of the Federal Register.
    (2) EPA provided the Commonwealth 30 working days for review of 
this notice and the parallel Notice of Intent to Delete prior to their 
publication today, and the Commonwealth, through PADEP, concurred on 
the deletion of the Site from the NPL.
    (3) Concurrently with the publication of this direct final Notice 
of Deletion, a notice of the availability of the parallel Notice of 
Intent to Delete is being published in a major local newspaper, the 
Pottstown Mercury. The newspaper notice announces the 30-day public 
comment period concerning the Notice of Intent to Delete the Site from 
the NPL.
    (4) The EPA placed copies of documents supporting the proposed 
deletion in the deletion docket and made these items available for 
public inspection and copying at the Site information repositories 
identified above.
    (5) If adverse comments are received within the 30-day public 
comment period on this deletion action, EPA will publish a timely 
notice of withdrawal of this direct final Notice of Deletion before its 
effective date, and will prepare a response to comments and continue 
with the deletion process, as appropriate, on the basis of the Notice 
of Intent to Delete and the comments already received.
    Deletion of a site from the NPL does not itself create, alter, or 
revoke any individual's rights or obligations. Deletion of a site from 
the NPL does not in any way alter EPA's right to take enforcement 
actions, as appropriate. The NPL is designed primarily for 
informational purposes and to assist EPA management. Section 
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that the deletion of a site from the 
NPL does not preclude eligibility for future response actions, should 
future conditions warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion

    The following information provides EPA's rationale for deleting the 
Site from the NPL:

Site Background and History

    Moyer's Landfill (EPA Identification Number (PAD980508766) is a 65-
acre inactive privately owned landfill located at Moyer Road in 
Collegeville, Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, 
Pennsylvania. The Site is about twenty-seven (27) miles northwest of 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the 2010 Census, Lower 
Providence Township has a population of 25,436.
    The Site consists of open land surrounded by wooded areas on steep 
slopes. The landfill is fenced off and covered with vegetation. Located 
on the Site are leachate collection tanks and a wooden storage shed in 
the south valley. Runoff is directed towards stormwater basins around 
the perimeter of the landfill and routed off the landfill cap. The 
Skippack Creek is located about 350 feet north-west of the landfill. 
The Skippack Creek then discharges into the Perkiomen Creek which 
eventually discharges into the Schuylkill River.
    The current owner of the landfill property is Grange Environmental. 
There are no current development plans, though the Township has 
expressed interest in purchasing the property to preserve it as open 
space. The landfill is bounded on the north and west by Evansburg State 
Park, on the east by a single original home and a new housing 
development (Valley High Estates) and on the south by the new housing 
development and undeveloped land. The Skippack Creek flows through 
Evansburg State Park and has, in the past, been stocked with trout.
    Groundwater in the Site area occurs in an aquifer which has poor 
water yields. Most of the residents in the vicinity of the landfill are 
on public water; however, there are approximately ten residential wells 
along Moyer Road and Visitation Road, which are upgradient and east of 
the Site. There are no residential wells between the landfill and 
Skippack Creek.
    The Moyer's Landfill property operated as a municipal landfill from 
the early 1940s until April 1981. The original unlined landfill area 
was approximately 39 acres in size. In the late 1970s, the landfill 
owners submitted a request to expand the landfill boundaries to the 
northwest. Site preparation work began on a new area in 1977, and 
included installation of an asphalt liner prior to filling. Landfilling 
was reportedly limited to this new, lined area from the late 1970s to 
early 1981, at which time an order from the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Resources (PADER), now PADEP, closed the facility.
    Originally, there was no management of leachate from the landfill 
and the discharge either seeped into groundwater or discharged directly 
to Skippack Creek. In the early 1970's PADER developed and implemented 
more comprehensive landfill regulations. As a result, a leachate 
collection system was constructed and began operating in 1972. However, 
leachate still overflowed continuously from several collection pits 
located on the property.
    In 1981, PADEP closed the facility. The Moyer's Landfill became a 
Superfund Site when it was listed on the National Priorities List, (48 
FR 40658) on September 8, 1983. The Remedial Investigation and 
Feasibility Study were performed by EPA and financed by the Fund.

[[Page 17068]]

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS)

    In the early 1980s, on-site leachate and seep samples were 
collected and analyzed. The samples were contaminated with eighty-six 
(86) priority pollutants and sixteen (16) metals, nearly all 
contaminants of concern. The landfill surface showed a number of 
leachate and seep locations which served as a continuous source of 
pollution to ground and surface waters. There was no evidence of any 
detectable level of air pollution.
    Surface water samples were taken from Skippack Creek and the 
Perkiomen Creek, and fish and sediment samples were taken from Skippack 
Creek. Contaminants were detected in low concentrations in both surface 
water, sediment, and fish. The contaminants were attributable to the 
landfill.
    Off-site residential wells bordering the landfill were sampled for 
priority pollutants, metals, organics, PCBs, dioxins, and beta 
radiation. These wells did not show any detectable levels of organic or 
inorganic pollution. The residential groundwater met all EPA Drinking 
Water Standards at the time. Shallow monitoring wells installed around 
the periphery of the landfill showed concentrations of contaminants in 
the groundwater above risk-based numbers.
    The groundwater contamination was mostly due to surface water 
percolation through the landfill and into the groundwater. The 
groundwater level is lower than the bottom of the landfill. Site 
contaminants were transported directly to the surface water bodies via 
surface water runoff and indirectly through contaminated groundwater 
(upper aquifer) discharged to the creeks. The deeper aquifer was not 
contaminated.

Selected Remedy

    The Record of Decision (ROD) identified the following contaminants 
which were above acceptable levels in leachate and seep samples: 
Arsenic, barium, lead, manganese, nickel, zinc, beta radiation, 
trichloroethylene (TCE), toluene, xylene, di-n-octylphthalate, 2-
hexanone, 2-butanone, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and acetic acid.
    The ROD for the Moyer's Landfill Site dates from before the 
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and states 
the Remedial Action Objectives in the following manner: ``The overall 
strategy is to mitigate and minimize harm to the public health and the 
environment. This should include minimizing further upper aquifer 
contamination and the possibility of direct contact with the waste. 
Leachate control is an integral part of the overall scheme in order to 
eliminate the continuing migration of contaminants across the Site and 
off the Site to the Skippack Creek.'' Because EPA is responsible for 
protecting human health and the environment, EPA has conducted remedial 
actions such as capping the landfill and collecting landfill leachate 
and routing it for treatment. These actions prevent direct contact with 
the waste and contaminated leachate and prevent off-site migration of 
contamination via surface runoff and groundwater movement.
    The 1985 ROD identified a primary and a contingent remedy. The 
implementation of the primary remedy depended on the success of the gas 
generation/recovery program. Since the gas recovery system was not 
feasible due to diminishing gas generation, the contingency alternative 
was implemented. The major components of the contingency remedy 
included:
     Miscellaneous work preparatory to installation of the RCRA 
cap: Grading, flattening of steep slopes, retaining walls and 
installation of rip-rap at areas that are most likely to be eroded;
     Construction of the RCRA cap;
     Gas venting and gas monitoring;
     Surface water collection and discharge to Skippack Creek;
     Security/fencing measures;
     Leachate collection and on-site treatment that will meet 
the 10-6 risk level in the groundwater and discharge 
requirements in the stream; and
     Operation and Maintenance: Ground and surface water 
monitoring, maintenance of the cap and treatment of leachate on-site.
    In January 2000, EPA issued an Explanation of Significant 
Differences (ESD) which modified the leachate treatment portion of the 
remedy. The ESD changed the leachate treatment portion of the remedial 
action from on-site leachate treatment to leachate collection with 
treatment at an existing Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). This 
change better protected the surface waters and the environment from the 
potential failure of an undersized treatment plant. In addition, 
routing the leachate to the POTW was shown to be more cost effective 
than building and operating a leachate treatment facility.
    In September 2009, EPA issued a second ESD to require Institutional 
Controls (ICs) as part of the remedy. ICs are non-engineered 
instruments, such as administrative and legal controls, that are 
necessary to protect the integrity of the remedial measures on-site to 
ensure long-term protection of human health and the environment. ICs 
play an important role in site remedies because they reduce exposure to 
contamination by limiting land or resource use and guiding human 
behavior at a site.

Response Actions

    EPA executed an Interagency Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers (USACE) for the design of the remedial action, which was 
completed on April 20, 1989. EPA executed another Interagency Agreement 
with the USACE for the construction of the remedial action. After USACE 
began construction, local residents expressed concerns regarding truck 
traffic. In response, EPA then directed USACE to redesign a partial cap 
(instead of a full cap) with a perimeter leachate collection trench. A 
partial cap meant that less fill was needed for construction, thus 
reducing the truck traffic. Less cover, however, also led to steeper 
slopes for the redesigned landfill cap. The redesign was completed in 
November 1992 and construction of the redesigned landfill cap was 
completed in November 1994. The Remedial Action Report for the landfill 
cap, Operable Unit 1 (OU1) was completed in December 1996.
    EPA identified the leachate collection and treatment portion of the 
remedial action as Operable Unit 2 (OU2). In January 2000, EPA issued 
the first ESD which changed the leachate treatment portion of the 
remedial action from on-site leachate treatment to leachate collection 
with treatment at an existing POTW. The modified remedial action was 
considered infeasible at the time of the ROD because the sewer line was 
not available near the Site when the ROD was issued. The construction 
of the OU2 remedial action was initiated in 2000 and completed in 
August 2002. OU2 responsibility was divided as follows: (1) Montgomery 
County constructed the municipal interceptor, (2) EPA via USACE 
constructed the necessary leachate equalization tanks, and (3) PADEP 
was responsible for collecting and transferring the leachate to the 
equalization tanks and from the tanks to the municipal interceptor. The 
Remedial Action Report for the leachate collection and treatment at the 
POTW (OU2) was completed in April 2004.
    EPA and PADEP conducted a final inspection of the entire Site on 
August 30, 2002 and determined that the remedy had been constructed in 
accordance with the Remedial Design plans and specifications and that 
no further response was anticipated for this Site. The Moyer's Landfill 
Superfund Site achieved construction completion

[[Page 17069]]

when the Preliminary Close-out Report was signed on September 17, 2002. 
Performance standards attained during the remediation were documented 
in the Remedial Action Completion Reports dated December 19, 1996 and 
April 4, 2004.
    In October 2011, the Lower Providence Township approved an 
ordinance which serves as the IC for the Moyer's Landfill Site. The 
ordinance prohibits activities including, but not limited to, the 
following:
     Digging in or disturbance of the landfill cap, tampering 
with the hardware or equipment associated with the gas vents, 
monitoring wells, leachate collection and conveyance systems, or the 
security fencing.
     Any use of leachate generated at the Property including, 
without limitation, any activities that could cause exposure to 
contaminants in the leachate via ingestion, vapor inhalation or dermal 
contact.
     Digging in or disturbance of the landfill cap including, 
without limitation, any activities that could result in contact with 
contaminants in soils at the Property through ingestion, inhalation, or 
dermal contact.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M)

    The USACE was responsible for maintenance of the landfill for the 
first eighteen months. A Site Maintenance Plan, dated January 1991, 
documented the expected activities to maintain and monitor the 
integrity of the Site, including monitoring the leachate, the 
groundwater in both the shallow and deep zones, and the gas vents on a 
quarterly basis, and visual inspections of the cap area and associated 
drainage/collection systems with corrective actions for identified 
problems. However, the plan stated that ``the number of monitoring 
locations, analytical parameters, and sampling frequencies may be 
modified during the maintenance period by PADER. . . .'' PADEP took 
responsibility for the landfill cap maintenance in May 1996. The 
responsibility for operation and maintenance (O&M) of the leachate 
storage and transfer system has always been with PADEP. EPA provided 
training on the system for PADEP and PADEP has been operating the 
system since start-up. The leachate currently is permitted by the Oaks 
POTW to meet their pretreatment program standards.
    PADEP currently reports O&M status and issues to EPA. PADEP O&M 
consists of the following activities:
     Site Inspections: Once per month.
     Leachate Collection Inspections: Twice per month.
     Leachate Monitoring: Monthly reading of the leachate 
volume discharged to the POTW, and reporting information on total 
gallons per month and average daily flow rate to the POTW on a monthly 
basis, by the 15th of the month.
     Grass cutting: Twice per year. The landfill cap and 
surface water management features are inspected prior to each mowing.
     Repairs of Cap, Perimeter Road, Fence: As needed, as noted 
during site inspections.
     Tree removal: As needed, as noted during site inspections.
     Sampling of groundwater and air monitoring/gas vent: Every 
other year. Five monitoring wells, and the leachate sump in the South 
Valley are analyzed for volatile organics, TAL metals, and cyanide. The 
leachate may also be analyzed for other parameters requested by the 
POTW. Eight Summa canisters are deployed around the landfill (upwind 
and downwind) in order to record concentrations of volatile organic 
compounds. In addition, the Department also deploys up to six smaller, 
silica-lined Summa canisters to sample directly from active gas vents 
on the Site.

Five-Year Review

    EPA has conducted two (2) Five-Year Reviews for this Site. Since 
the remedial action for Moyer's Landfill was selected before the 
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) was 
enacted, EPA conducts these Five-Year Reviews as a matter of policy due 
to the fact that hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants 
remain at the Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and 
unrestricted exposure. These reviews are conducted pursuant to CERCLA 
Section 121(c), 42 U.S.C. 9621(c), and as provided in the current 
guidance on Five-Year Reviews.
    The first Five-Year Review for the Site was completed on September 
26, 2007, and the second Five-Year Review was completed on August 10, 
2012. The next Five-Year Review for the Site is required by August 
2017.
    The second Five-Year Review for the Site found that the remedy has 
been constructed in accordance with the requirements of the ROD and is 
functioning as designed. The immediate threats have been addressed 
though capping the landfill and collecting and properly disposing of 
the leachate. Since the remedial actions at both Operable Units are 
protective, the Site is protective of human health and the environment. 
Long-term protectiveness of the remedy will be maintained by continuing 
to perform operation and maintenance of the landfill cap and leachate 
collection system; monitoring the groundwater and ambient air; and 
enforcing the institutional controls.

Community Involvement

    Public participation activities have been satisfied as required in 
CERCLA section 113(k), 42 U.S.C. 9613(k), and CERCLA section 117, 42 
U.S.C. 9617. Documents in the deletion docket which EPA relied on for 
recommendation of the deletion from the NPL are available to the public 
in the information repositories.
    EPA notified local officials about upcoming Five-Year Reviews and 
placed notices in the Times Herald to inform the public that the Five-
Year Reviews were being conducted and when the findings of each would 
be available.

Determination That the Criteria for Deletion Have Been Met

    No further response action under CERCLA is appropriate. EPA has 
determined based on the investigations conducted that all appropriate 
response actions required have been implemented at the Site. Through 
the second Five-Year Review, EPA has also determined that the remedy is 
considered protective of human health and the environment and, 
therefore, additional remedial measures are not necessary. Other 
procedures required by 40 CFR 300.425(e) are detailed in Section III of 
this direct Final Notice of Deletion.

V. Deletion Action

    The EPA, with concurrence of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 
through PADEP has determined that all appropriate response actions 
under CERCLA, other than operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, 
have been completed. Therefore, EPA is deleting the Site from the NPL.
    Because EPA considers this action noncontroversial and routine, EPA 
is taking it without prior publication. This action will be effective 
May 27, 2014 unless EPA receives adverse comments by April 28, 2014. If 
adverse comments are received within the 30-day public comment period, 
EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final Notice of 
Deletion before the effective date of the deletion, and it will not 
take effect. EPA will prepare a response to comments and continue with 
the deletion process, as appropriate, on the basis of the Notice of 
Intent to Delete and the comments already received. There will be no 
additional opportunity to comment.
