   The Filmore Site encompasses approximately 20 acres at the south end of Filmore Avenue in Millcreek Township. In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed throughout the Filmore Site. The Department has determined that response actions are necessary to protect the public health and welfare and the environment at the Filmore Site.

However, based upon information obtained by the Department, and based upon information certified to by Ms. Kimmel, the Department has determined that Ms. Kimmel did not cause or contribute to the contamination of these parcels or the rest of the Filmore Site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to settle any claims that it may have against Ms. Kimmel for $3,475 and her consent to access so that the Department, and its designated agents, may conduct response actions at the parcels owned by Ms. Kimmel.

   The specifics of the Department's settlement with Ms. Kimmel are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlement with Ms. Kimmel if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlement with Ms. Kimmel shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant comments that it receives during the 60-day public comment period.

   Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA.

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 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 potentially responsible parties 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 $2.7 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.

   The proposed consent decree with Biddle was lodged with the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on February 22, 1996. Under the terms of this consent decree, Biddle will pay the Department a total of $288,116 over a 3-year period to reimburse the Department for its past costs at the ISCC site. The proposed consent with Quebecor was lodged with the Court on March 5, 1996. Under the terms of this consent decree, Quebecor will pay the Department $133,121 to reimburse the Department for its past costs at the ISCC site.

   The proposed consent decree with Dynamics was lodged with the Court on March 8, 1996. The proposed consent decrees with Verla, Specialty, American, and Stambaugh's were lodged with the Court on March 12, 1996. Under the terms of these consent decrees, Verla will pay $87,565, Dynamics will pay $359,033 over 2 years, Specialty will pay $135,401, American will pay $93,670 over 5 years, and Stambaugh's will pay $40,859 to reimburse the Department for its past costs at the ISCC site.

   The proposed consent decree with the United States was lodged with the Court on March 12, 1996. Under the terms of this proposed consent decree, the United States will pay $500,000 to the Department to resolve its liability for the Department's past and future costs at the ISCC site, as well as for natural resource damages.

   This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will respond to any significant written comments and request that the Court take appropriate action regarding the proposed consent decrees. The proposed consent decrees that contain the specific terms of the proposed settlements are available for public review and comment. The proposed consent decrees 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 [phone]. A public comment period on the proposed consent decrees will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent decrees to the Department by May 22, 1996, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.

Notice of Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

---

Covington Township
Lackawanna County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), act of October 18, 1988, initiated a prompt interim response (response) at the Windship Road Drum Site (Site). The site is located along a private roadway off of Windship Road near Route 307, in Covington Township, Lackawanna County.

   On February 26, 1995, Department personnel inspected the site subsequent to a citizens report that several drums of unknown material were discovered as a result of some excavation activities performed during the cleanout of a drainage culvert. During the inspection, six drums, exposed or partially exposed, were noted. A subsequent investigation by the Department, using metal detection instrumentation, indicated the probable presence of additional buried drums. The site is located directly adjacent to a commercial property as well as several residences. A small stream runs along the eastern edge of the site into a wetland approximately 200 feet south of the site.

   After determining that the Site constituted a substantial threat to public health and safety and the environment, the Department initiated a response at the site on February 28, 1996. The prompt action interim response chosen by the Department consisted of excavation of drums, re-packaging, chemical analysis, temporary storage and final disposal at an approved facility. A total of 56 drums, as well as 1 small container, were discovered during the response. The Department also considered taking no action at the site. However, due to the imminent threat to human health and safety and the environment, this option was rejected by the Department.

   The administrative record contains information which was used as the basis for the decision to conduct the response at the site. The administrative record will be available for public inspection 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.

   Written comments concerning the response or information in the administrative record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before June 21, 1996 to the attention of Joseph Iannuzzo, Project Officer--Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, at the Northeast Regional Office address.

   Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for May 16, 1996, at 7 p.m. at the Covington Township Municipal Building. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before May 9, 1996 by calling Joseph Iannuzzo at [phone]. If no person registers to present oral comments by May 9, 1996, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered, if the hearing will be held, or the location of the hearing should contact Joseph Iannuzzo.

   The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90 day public comment period on the administrative record, as provided under that act. Questions concerning this site may be directed to Joseph Iannuzzo at [phone], or Michael Ferrence, Assistant Counsel, at [phone].

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the public hearing referenced above and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Joseph Iannuzzo directly or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 [phone] (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
