SPECIAL NOTICES
SETTLEMENT UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT AND THE HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP ACT Reading Industrial Scrap Company Site, Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a proposed settlement with certain De Minimis Responsible Parties (Settlor).
The proposed settlement resolves claims of the Department with the Settlor under the HSCA, CERCLA and other applicable law for potential repose costs for remediation of the former Reading Industrial Scrap Company Site (Site) located in the City of Reading and Muhlenberg Township, Berks County. The Settlor purchased the property in the spring of 2002. Prior to the Settlor acquiring the Site, solid waste, including waste alleged to include ''hazardous substances'' within the meaning of section 101(14) of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601(14)) and section 103 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103), were disposed at the Site.
The proposed settlement obligates the Settlor to remit $500 to the Department. The Department believes that the proposed settlement is fair, reasonable, practicable, in the public interest and in furtherance of the statutory goals of the HSCA and CERCLA.
