HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement R. O. Murphy and Langner/Murphy Sites Allegheny Township, Butler County and Pine Township, Mercer County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with David B. Murphy and Langner Enterprises, Inc., (LEI) concerning the resolution of their liability forthe R. O. Murphy Site, and the Langner and Murphy Site (collectively, the ''Sites''). The R. O. Murphy Site is located adjacent to, and north of, Route 58, approximately 2.75 miles east of the village of Six Points, in Allegheny Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. The Langner and Murphy Site is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Township Road 878 (Diamond Road) and Route 208, in Pine Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
In the past, hazardous substances were disposed at the Sites and these substances contaminated the environment at the Sites. The Department has incurred more than $223,000 in response costs at the R. O. Murphy Site. The Department estimates that it will expend additional funds to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Langner and Murphy Site. As an owner and operator of the Sites during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Sites, David B. Murphy and LEI are each a ''responsible person'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103).
Based upon Mr. Murphy and LEI's available assets and their certification concerning their financial condition, the Department has determined that Mr. Murphy and LEI cannot pay for all or any substantial portion of the response costs at the Sites. Accordingly, to resolve the foregoing matters without litigation, the Department and Mr. Murphy and LEI have agreed to enter into this inability to pay settlement. Under the terms of the CO&A, Mr. Murphy and LEI shall, among other things, pay a total of $32,433 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, and Mr. Murphy will also convey title to the Langner and Murphy Sites to a nonprofit entity designated by the Department.
A prompt interim response action was completed at the R. O. Murphy Site in 1999. The Department anticipates that the response action may be conducted at the Langner and Murphy Site during the 2001 construction season. This response will help mitigate the threat to human health and the environment posed by the hazardous substances there.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A between the Department and Mr. Murphy and LEI. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if the comments concerning the CO&A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Mr. Murphy and LEI shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Mr. Murphy and LEI, in writing, that this Consent Order and Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A, or that no such comments were received.
The CO&A is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pennsylvania. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Hal Nye, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mr. Nye at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.909) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on 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 remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report, and cleanup plan. 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. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
