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 302--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 the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as 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 or suspected 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, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation 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. Furthermore, the person 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 standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, 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 the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSENT ORDER AND AGREEMENT Avtex Adjunct Mercury Sites Crawford County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a de minimis Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with Ralph Hunter, Inc. (Hunter) concerning the resolution of its liability for the Avtex Fibers, Inc. mercury release and the Avtex Adjunct Mercury Sites (Sites). The Sites are located at 33 separate locations in Hayfield, Richmond, Spring, Union, Venango, Vernon and Woodcock Townships, Crawford County.
In 1995 and 1996, Hunter transported mercury-containing wastes (wastes) from the Avtex Fibers, Inc. facility in Vernon Township, Crawford County for use as fill material to various locations. The Sites received wastes for road base in the construction of access roads used for timbering, oil and gas exploration and residential driveways. These wastes contaminated the environment at the Sites. Mercury in the wastes is defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103) as a ''hazardous substance.'' To date, the Department has removed the wastes from most of the Sites for proper off-site disposal (response). These responses will continue into the construction season for the year 2001, until all remaining specific Sites are completed. The estimated cost for all the responses for the Sites is approximately $1,318,309. Those responses mitigated the threat to human health and the environment posed by the wastes.
As a transporter and operator during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Sites, Hunter is a ''responsible person'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103). Under the terms of the Agreement, Hunter shall pay the Department $48,000 to resolve its liability at the Sites. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement between Hunter and the Department. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations, which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest.
After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Hunter shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Hunter, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement, or that no such comments were received.
