Public Notice of Proposed Consent Decrees
Oliver Site
Waterford Township, Erie CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into two Consent Decrees concerning settlement of the Department's Complaint against General Electric Company (GE) and GAF Building Materials Corporation (GAF). The Department's Complaint concerns the investigation and cleanup of the Oliver Site in Erie County, PA. The Department's Complaint against GE and GAF is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania at the Federal Courthouse in Erie, PA.
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site, and these hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, groundwater and sediments at the Site. The Department has incurred approximately 1 million dollars in past response costs, and estimates that it will cost approximately 3 million dollars to clean-up the Oliver Site.
The Department has entered into a settlement with GE whereby GE will, among other things, pay $920,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund and will design and construct a water service for the residences with drinking water that is or could be affected by the hazardous substances at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GE.
The Department has also entered into a de minimis settlement with GAF whereby GAF will pay $28,550 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. This de minimis settlement is based upon the Department's determination that the amount of hazardous substances contributed by GAF is minimal compared to the amount of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; the toxic or other hazardous effects of these hazardous substances are minimal compared to the effects of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; these hazardous substances have not contaminated the groundwater at the Oliver Site; and these hazardous substances have caused and will cause only a minor portion of the response costs at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GAF.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to these Consent Decrees for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlements with GE and GAF if the comments concerning the Consent Decrees disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlements are inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlements with GE and GAF shall become final upon the filing of the Department's responses to any significant comments to the Consent Decrees.
Copies of the Consent Decrees are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pennsylvania and at the United Sates District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Erie). Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.

Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Delta Chemicals Site
North Buffalo Township, Armstrong CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has entered into a Proposed Consent Order and Agreement with Bakerstown Container Corporation. Under the proposed Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A), Bakerstown Container Corporation will pay its proportionate share, in the amount of $28,201.10, of DEP's response costs incurred at the Delta Chemicals site. The response costs paid by Bakerstown Container are based on DEP's Non-Binding Allocation of Responsibility (NBAR) which was developed by DEP for the Delta Chemicals site under section 708 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.708). The Proposed CO&A also provides for a Covenant Not To Sue, under section 706 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.706) for Reopeners of the Covenants Not To Sue under section 505 of The Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 1995-2) (35 P. S. § 6026.101 et seq.) (Land Recycling Act) and for Contribution Protection under section 705(c)(2) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)). The Proposed CO&A does not provide for settlement of DEP's future response costs, or for response costs incurred by other Responsible Persons for the Delta Chemicals site. The Proposed CO&A is authorized by section 709 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.709).
Delta Chemical is located at the intersection of Worthington and Beatty's Mill Roads in North Buffalo Township. The site consists of 1.3 acres, of which approximately 1 acre is enclosed by a fence. Within the fenced portion, there is a small cinder block building, a standpipe buried in the ground, a large and smaller lagoon. There are two contaminated springs located outside the fenced property.
The site's soils, lagoon surface water, the perched groundwater aquifer and surface water and sediment in the unnamed tributary are contaminated with volatile organic compounds. Inorganic contamination was found in the surface soil, subsurface soils, in the standpipe, the lagoon surface water and surface water sediments. This contamination poses threats of direct contact, release of hazardous substances to the perched groundwater aquifer and release of vapors to the atmosphere.
This Notice is being provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and in the Kittanning Leader Times. The Proposed CO&A is available for public review and comments, and is located in the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals site which is maintained at DEP's Southwest Regional Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA.
This public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address. The Proposed CO&A shall become final upon DEP's filing of its responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. DEP reserves the right to withdraw from the CO&A if written comments demonstrate to the Department that the CO&A is not in the public interest.
Notice of Proposed Consent Decree, Amendment to the Statement of Decision and Reopening of Administrative Record
Delta Chemicals Site
North Buffalo Township, Armstrong CountyProposed Consent Decree
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has entered into a Proposed Consent Decree with the Delta Chemicals Response Action Group (Group) at the Delta Chemicals site. The Group consists of 23 Potentially Responsible Parties. Under the Proposed Consent Decree, the Group will perform the final remedial response action for the Delta site, which was selected and identified by DEP in its Statement of Decision (SOD) issued in December 1994. The final remedial response action which the Group will carry out is treatment of contaminated soils, using soil vapor extraction, and collection and treatment of contaminated seeps. The contaminated soils will be remediated to achieve the Statewide health standards under Chapter 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 1995-2) (35 P. S. § 6026.101 et seq.) (Act 2, Land Recycling Act). Contaminated seeps will be treated to achieve National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge limits. The Proposed Consent Decree also provides that the Group will reimburse DEP for its future response costs. In addition, the Proposed Consent Decree provides for a Covenant Not To Sue, under section 706 of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.706) with Reopeners under section 505 of the Land Recycling Act and for Contribution Protection under section 705(c)(2) of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)). The Proposed Consent Decree is authorized by section 505(g) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(g)) and is entered into an order to expedite efficient remedial action, minimize prolonged litigation, and to resolve the Group's liability to the DEP under a Cost Recovery Complaint filed by DEP against the Group and other Responsible Parties in November 1995. The Proposed Consent Decree will be lodged with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania during a 60-day public comment period provided for under HSCA section 1113 (35 P. S. § 6020.1113).

It is maintained by the DEP in its Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address.
The public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. At the close of the public comment period, DEP will file responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. DEP and the Group will then file a Joint Motion to Enter the Consent Decree with Commonwealth Court, requesting the Court approve the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree becomes final upon the Court's approval and entry of the Decree.
Proposed Amendment to Statement of Decision
In December 1994, the DEP issued a Statement of Decision (SOD) for the Delta Chemicals site. In the SOD, DEP established numerical cleanup standards for specific contaminants present at the Delta site, which was based on DEP's Groundwater Protection Strategy and Cleanup Standards for Contaminated Soil Policy. After the SOD was issued, the Pennsylvania Legislature enacted the Land Recycling Act which provided for the specific cleanup standards for soils and groundwater. The DEP proposes to amend the Delta Chemicals SOD to require contaminated soils be remediated to achieve the Statewide Health Standards established under the Land Recycling Act, as set forth below. The DEP has proposed no other amendments to the SOD.
Soil Performance Standards Under December 1994 Statement of Decision
The SOD provided that contaminated soils be remediated to the following levels:
Compound Cleanup Level
(mg/kg dry weight)Benzene 0.9 Chloroform 0.6 1,1-Dichloroethane 0.5 1,2-Dichloroethane 0.8 Ethylbenzene 6.0 Methylene chloride (Dichloromethane) 0.2 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane 1.0 Tetrachloroethene (PCE) 3.0 Toluene 2.0 1,1,1-Trichloroethane 1.0 1,1,2-Trichloroethane 0.9 Trichloroethane (TCE) 2.0 Xylenes 3.0 Revised Soil Performance Standards Under the Land Recycling Act
Under the proposed amendment to the SOD, contaminated soils will be remediated to the following levels:
Compound Cleanup Level
(mg/kg dry weight)Benzene 0.8 Chloroform 10.0 1,1-Dichloroethane 0.5 1,2-Dichloroethane 0.5 Ethylbenzene 70.0 Methylene chloride (Dichloromethane) 0.5 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane 1.0 Tetrachloroethene (PCE) 2.0 Toluene 100.0 1,1,1-Trichloroethane 20.0 1,1,2-Trichloroethane 0.8 Trichloroethane (TCE) 2.0 Xylenes 5.0 The soil standards set forth above are the Interim Statewide Health Standards for soils, based on the soil to groundwater pathway. The technical basis for the Interim Standards is described in DEP's Technical Manual for the Land Recycling Act. A copy of the Technical Manual was filed in the Administrative Record for the Delta site.
Reopening of Administrative Record
The Department is also reopening the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals site, under the authority of section 506(g) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(g)) and 25 Pa. Code 3.33, in order to include documentation of its response costs incurred in addressing the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Delta Chemicals site. The Department opened the administrative record for the Delta Chemicals site, under section 506 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506) on November 27, 1993, to allow the public to comment on the Department's Proposed Response for the Site. The Administrative Record was closed on December 21, 1994, upon the Department's filing of its SOD. The documentation of the Department's response costs is provided for under section 505(g)(3), and 25 Pa. Code § 3.11(c)(3).
This notice is being provided under section 506(h) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020) and 25 Pa. Code § 3.33, and is being published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, and the Kittanning Leader Times. The Proposed Amendment to the SOD (and documentation of response costs) are available for public review and comments, and is located in the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals sites. It is maintained at DEP's Southwest Regional Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address. Persons wishing to have a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the SOD of the reopening of the Administrative Record may request DEP to hold a public hearing by submitting a written request to DEP at the above address. The written request must be made within 30 days of this notice.
The public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. At the close of the public comment period, DEP will file responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. The proposed amendment to the SOD outlined above will become final upon filing DEP's response to written comments.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Proposed Submittals Requiring Registered Professional Geologists Seals Under the Pennsylvania Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law
With the passage of the amendments to the Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologists Registration Law, the Department of Environmental Protection is proposing to require that certain actions submitted as part of permit applications or reports be sealed by a Registered Professional Geologist. This registration must be made in accordance with the provisions of The Pennsylvania Engineer, Land Surveyor and Geologist Registration Law (63 P. S. §§ 148--158.2).
The licensing and registration of Professional Geologists has caused the Department to examine the entire range of geologic work products in an effort to determine which actions will require appropriate sealing. To accomplish this effort the Department convened an internal workgroup which analyzed the full range of actions that the Department currently reviews on a regular basis. This workgroup reviewed actions by programs within the following agencies:
Department of Environmental Protection:
Abandoned Mine Reclamation
Environmental Clean-Up
Flood Protection Projects
Dams, Waterways and Wetlands
Land and Water Conservation
Land Recycling and Waste Management
Mining and Reclamation
District Mining Offices
Oil & Gas Management
Radiation Protection
Water Quality Management
Water Supply and Community HealthThe workgroup met over a 1 1/2 year period to determine which submittals the Department would require to be sealed by a Registered Professional Geologist. These submittals are listed on the following tables, by program. During the course of this effort it was determined that all submittals to the Department will fall into one of four categories.
The categories are:
* A. Submittals or tasks which must be prepared by a Registered Professional Geologist.
* B. Submittals which do not need to be prepared by a Registered Professional Geologist.
* C. Submittals which could be prepared or submitted by either a Registered Professional Geologist or another licensed professional as defined in the registration law.
* D. Submittals which would require preparation and submittal by both a Registered Professional Geologist and Professional Engineer.
Categories A, B, C and D refer to the column headings on the accompanying tables.
Following the public comment period, which closes June 7, 1996, DEP permit application forms and other procedures and policies will be amended to require the use of Registered Professional Geologist seals.
Discussions on this proposed action will be held during the following meetings:
April 30 10:30 a.m. Northcentral Regional Office, Maurice Goddard Room, Williamsport, PA May 6 10 a.m. Northeast Regional Office, 2nd Floor Conference Room, Wilkes-Barre, PA May 8 10 a.m. Rachel Carson State Office Building, 2nd Fl Auditorium, Harrisburg, PA May 15 1 p.m. Southwest Regional Office, Monongahela Room, Pittsburgh, PA May 16 10 a.m. Northwest Regional Office, Conference Room A/B, Meadville, PA May 20 10 a.m. Southeast Regional Office, Hearing Room, Conshohocken, PA Written comments may be directed to Eric R. Conrad, Office of Field Operations, P. O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063 or e-mail at Conrad.Eric@a1.dep.state.pa.us.
It is anticipated that the list of submittals requiring a Registered Professional Geologist seal will change over time as agency expertise evolves and as the regulated community has an opportunity to comment.

3 Logs should be made at least under supervision of RPG and any reports (with interpretation) should be used by RPG.
4 Data can be gathered by (B), however, any interpretation or analysis should be conducted by RPG.
5 WHP and delineation standard will be fixed radius and, therefore, will not require RPG. Any advanced delineation requiring analysis and interpretation of hydrogeologic data should be signed by RPG.
6 SWIP designed so that data can be gathered by anyone; however, BWSCH has done interpretation. Any challenges should be submitted by RPG.
