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--6020.1304), 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 in past response costs, and estimates that it will cost approximately $3 million 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, PA and at the United States 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. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.

Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges
The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management, and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.
The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding these applications and proposed permit actions. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on DEP's file. The documents may be inspected at, or a copy requested from, the Field Office that has been indicated above the application notice.

Notice of Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
UGI Columbia Gas Site
Borough of Columbia, Lancaster CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) has entered into a consent order and agreement withPennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L) regarding the UGI Columbia Gas site in the Borough of Columbia, Lancaster County. The site housed a former gas manufacturing facility that operated from approximately 1853 to 1948. The site is not owned by PP&L, but has been owned by a number of entities during the plant's operation and the years subsequent to its closing.
Operations of the manufactured gas facility resulted in contamination of the site, particularly in the areas of the relief holder and gas holders. The gas holder was located near the center of the property and consisted of a 40-foot diameter structure that was a brick-lined cylindrical pit with a concrete base. Site characterization revealed that the pit contains tar coated material to a depth of approximately 17 feet and that the concrete base is fractured.
The relief holder was constructed of riveted steel plates and was contained within a pit that was approximately 26 feet deep. Tars were stored inside during the plant's operation. Once the plant operations ceased, the pit was filled with refuse, construction debris, and fill. Assessment activities at the site indicated that approximately 800 cubic yards of Susquehanna River sediment southwest of the site were also contaminated with coal tar.
On May 31, 1994, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601 et seq., and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan, 40 C.F.R. Part 300, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the site on the National Priority List. EPA also authorized the Department to address the gas and relief holders and to further assess the site and the contaminated river sediments. On July 17, 1995, the Department issued, pursuant to HSCA, a Statement of Decision (SOD) for the site, In its SOD, the Department determined there was a need to conduct interim actions to address the risks posed by the gas and relief holders. In order to address these risks, the Department determined there was a need to remove contaminated material from the gas and relief holders and selected the processes to accomplish this goal.
On April 4, 1996, the Department and PP&L entered into a consent order and agreement whereby PP&L agreed to implement the interim actions, as selected by the Department in its SOD, to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study of the site, and to assess further the river sediment contamination and means for addressing it. PP&L also agreed to reimburse the Department $22,980.80 for the past costs expended by the Department at the site and to reimburse the Department for its future costs to implement the consent order and agreement.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will respond to any significant written comments before the consent order and agreement becomes final. The consent order and agreement that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The consent order and agreement 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 consent decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent decree to the Department by June 19, 1996, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
Final Submission Date for Municipal Recycling Program Peformance Grant Applications under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act
The Department of Environmental Protection hereby announces a request for applications from municipalities for grant assistance for recycling programs under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (35 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904). Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities.
Recycling Performance Grant funds will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source separated recyclable materials identified in section 1501 of act 101 recovered by municipal recycling programs, and the population of the municipality. For this application period, municipalities awarded grants will receive a base award of $5 for each ton of eligible recyclable materials marketed, and $1 per ton for each percentage of waste diverted from disposal. The weight of eligible materials allowable from non-residential (commercial and institutional) sources will be limited to no more than the weight of eligible materials from residential sources. The Department will not award grants calculated to be less than $10.
Eligible materials include: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, and plastics. Grants will be awarded only for properly documented, eligible materials that were actually marketed on or after January 1, 1995, to and including December 31, 1995. Grant funds will not be awarded for residues, materials not listed as eligible, or any materials which cannot be documented as being recycled into a new product or use.
Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and marketed must be retained at the offices of the municipal applicant for 4 years from the end date of the year the application covers. The supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application.
Acceptable Supporting Documentation. Weight slips or receipts verifying that the materials were marketed are required as supporting documentation for the grant application. The documentation must be on the letterhead of the market or on forms provided by the market, must bear a signature of an authorized representative verifying that the materials were received, and must identify the type and weight of the materials received. Estimates of weight will not be accepted except in cases where: 1) the material is packaged in uniform bales and the average weight of a bale can be demonstrated, or, 2) when multiple generators contribute to a known quantity of marketed material and the hauler or market estimates the quantities allocatable to any individual establishment, or lists each establishment, and verifies the estimate with his/her signature.
Supporting documentation must be available for review by representatives of the Department of Environmental Protection, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Treasurer. Although the supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the grant application, any documentation provided must conform to the above requirements or the materials claimed will not be credited toward the grant.
The deadline for submission of applications is 3 p.m., October 4, 1996. Applications must be on the revised forms provided by the Department. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered. All grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of Act 101, and the availability of monies in the Recycling Fund.
Municipalities wishing to file an application should contact their County Recycling Coordinator or the Department at the address which follows. Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Carl Hursh, Chief, Recycling and Markets, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.
