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 304 and 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in 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 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 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 and 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 cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified, a municipality 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, a municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department's 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 1 (800) 654-5984.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company Newberry Township, York County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into proposed settlements with two parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential and commercial wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3.4 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
Under the terms of a proposed Consent Decree, Dynamics Corporation of America, of Greenwich, Connecticut, will pay the Department $83,000 for future response costs at the ISCC site. Under terms of a proposed Consent Decree, Metro Oil and Chemical Corporation (Temor, Inc.) of Ridgefield, New Jersey, a de minimis party, will pay the Department $17,341 for past and future costs at the ISCC site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlements will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments and approval by the Court in the Department's pending cost recovery litigation in the U. S. District Court. The proposed Consent Decrees that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment. The proposed settlements can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4592. A public comment period on the proposed settlements will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed settlements to the Department by February 25, 1998, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
Proposed Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Tonolli Corporation Superfund Site Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), along with the United States of America, under the authority of section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) and section 122 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C.A. § 9622) has entered into a Consent Decree with a group of settling defendants (settling defendants). The proposed Consent Decree concerns settlement of the Department's response costs, as well as the implementation of a remedial action at the Tonolli Corporation Superfund Site, located in Nesquehoning Borough, Carbon County (site). The proposed Consent Decree will be filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The site is a former lead battery recycling facility with a secondary lead smelter that Tonolli Corporation operated from 1974 to 1986 on approximately 30 acres of land. Numerous waste piles and drums of material and debris from plant operations exist onsite. The hazardous substances of concern at the site are heavy metals, particularly lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic and copper. Heavy metals are found in onsite and offsite soils and sediments, groundwater and surface water.
Tonolli Corporation filed for bankruptcy in 1985. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a preliminary assessment of the site in 1987 and identified it as a candidate for emergency removal action. The contents of a 500,000 gallon lagoon were removed and stabilized and a storm water treatment plant was installed in 1989 by the EPA. A group of potentially responsible parties (PRPs) completed a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the site in 1992.
The site was listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) on October 4, 1989. The remedy which will be implemented at the site requires the removal and secondary smelting of the battery casings and other concentrated waste dusts and sludges, the decontamination or demolition of the buildings, the excavation and consolidation of site wastes and contaminated soils within the onsite landfill including treatment of the high hazard soils (>10,000 ppm lead), closure of the onsite landfill according to Pennsylvania hazardous waste regulations, the removal of contaminated sediments from the stream, the installation of a passive groundwater treatment trench between the landfill and the stream and the long-term monitoring of groundwater and maintenance of the landfill. The PRP Group completed the removal of battery casings in 1997 under an EPA Order. The Remedial Design for the remedial action will be finalized in early 1998 and the Remedial Action work is scheduled to begin in March 1998.
The Department has agreed to accept $89,000 in settlement of the settling defendants' liability for past response costs. Additionally, the settling defendants have agreed to pay the Department's future response costs at the site beginning in 1998.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). Section 1113 of HSCA provides that the settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments. The proposed Consent Decree which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The proposed Consent Decree can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, by contacting Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD). A public comment period on the proposed Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. The Department will accept written comments concerning the proposed Consent Decree until February 25, 1998. Comments concerning the proposed Consent Decree can be sent to Woodrow Cole at the above address.
