Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the Act) requires the Department of Environmental Protection 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 identifies 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 or Statewide health standard to remediate a site 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.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection 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.

Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Jacksonville Road [Raymark] Site
Hatboro, Pennsylvania, As It Relates To The
Hatboro Borough Authority's Water System
Hatboro Borough, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), hereby gives notice that a prospective purchaser agreement (PPA) associated with the purchase of the Hatboro Borough Authority's Water System (Water System) which is impacted by the Jacksonville Road [Raymark] Site, is to be executed by the Department, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and Philadelphia Suburban Water Company (PSWC).
The Jacksonville Road [Raymark] Site (Site) is on the National Priorities List and is currently undergoing remediation. A portion of the Water System is being used to implement the remedy selected for the Site. PSWC, the prospective purchaser of the Water System is not presently a responsible person who is liable for response costs at the Site. However, if PSWC acquires the Water System, it could potentially become responsible as an owner, under section 701 of HSCA and section 107 of CERCLA (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601 et seq.).
The PPA would resolve certain potential Department claims under section 507 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.507) against PSWC, the prospective purchaser of the Hatboro Borough Authority Water System. The PPA would require PSWC to pay $60,000 to the United States, $12,000 to the Commonwealth, provide Site access, cooperate fully with all response activities, and exercise due care to protect the public health and safety at the Site. Upon submitting this payment under the final PPA, PSWC resolves its liability with the Department and is eligible for contribution protection under HSCA regarding matters addressed in the PPA, as provided in section 705(c)(2) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)).
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section also provides that the PPA will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The PPA that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The PPA can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Thomas Sheehan at (610) 832-6149. The public comment period on the PPA will extend until May 15, 1996. Persons may submit written comments regarding the PPA to the Department by that date by submitting them to Thomas Sheehan at the above address.
