Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908)
Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the Act, will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the Act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Proposed Consent Order and Agreement C. G. Wood Site Jamestown Borough, Mercer County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with Jamestown Holding Corporation (JHC) concerning its liability at the C. G. Wood Site (site).
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were released at the site and these substances contaminated the environment at the site. The Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted response actions at the site between 1986 and 1998. These response actions included removal of containerized wastes and excavation and wastes and soils/sediments contaminated by hazardous substances. All wastes and contaminated soils/sediments were disposed offsite at proper, permitted disposal facilities.
JHC and site predecessors owned and/or operated the manufacturing facility at the site from at least from 1951 to the present. Because of its ownership of the site during a time when hazardous substances were released into the environment, JHC is a ''responsible party'' as defined in section 103 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103).
Under the terms of this Agreement, JHC will give the Department a conservation easement on several parcels of property at the site. This conservation easement will run with the land as to all successive owners and that will extend into perpetuity.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between the Department and JHC. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with JHC shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies JHC, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no comments were received.
Copies of the Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted to Gary Mechtly, Project Manager, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, Department of Environmental Protection, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at 800-645-5984.
