    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, 303, 304 and 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 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 as 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 a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site.

       For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department's 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.

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an integrated plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.

       The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.

       Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.

       Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department's Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

       Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

    HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

    Under the Act of October 18, 1988


    Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.C.S.A. §§ 9601--9675) has entered into a settlement regarding past and future response costs related to the Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site. The settlement involves a Consent Decree to be lodged in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, between the Department, Somerset Strippers of Virginia, Inc., Buckley & Company, Inc., Robert R. Buckley, Sr. and Joseph M. Martosella, Sr.

       The Strasburg Landfill Superfund Site (site) is located in Newlin and West Bradford Townships, Chester County, PA. The site encompasses approximately 300 acres and includes the groundwater, soil and other media affected by any release of hazardous substances from the Strasburg Landfill. The Strasburg Landfill accepted waste from February 1979, to May 1983. The Department's predecessor, the Department of Environmental Resources, suspended the Strasburg Landfill operating permit in May 1983, and ordered the landfill closed due to construction flaws and permit violations. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the site on the National Priorities List on March 31, 1989. The EPA conducted a remedial investigation/feasibility study at the site, during which they determined that hazardous substances and contaminants, including but not limited to, VOCs, benzene, PCE, TCE, toluene, arsenic and chromium, has been released at the site. The EPA designated four operable units at the site, and has selected remedial responses for three of the four. The EPA has initiated implementation of the remedial actions relating to leachate collection and treatment (Operable Unit 1), site access control (Operable Unit 2), and subsurface remediation and construction of a landfill cap (Operable Unit 3). The Department has incurred $1,907,705.53 in costs associated with the implementation of these remedial actions. The EPA has not yet selected a remedy for groundwater at the site (Operable Unit 4). The Department anticipates it will incur approximately $5,092,294 in future costs associated with completion, and operation and maintenance of the remedial actions at the site.

       The Department has asserted that Somerset Strippers of Virginia, Inc., Buckley & Company, Inc., Robert R. Buckley, Sr. and Joseph M. Martosella, Sr. all have liability under section 701 of HSCA and section 107 of CERCLA associated with the releases of hazardous substances from the Strasburg Landfill because they were owners, alter egos of the owners or corporate officers of entities owning an interest in the property on which the landfill was located, during the time when releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances occurred.

       Under the terms of the Consent Decree, the settling parties shall pay to the Department $750,000 for their share of the costs incurred and to be incurred by the Department for the Strasburg Landfill site. Upon payment under the Consent Decree, Somerset Strippers of Virginia, Inc., Buckley & Company, Inc., Robert R. Buckley, Sr. and Joseph M. Martosella, Sr. resolve any liability they may have with the Department and are eligible for contribution protection under HSCA and CERCLA regarding matters addressed in the Consent Decree, as provided in HSCA section 705(c)(2), 35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2) and CERCLA section 113(f), 42 U.S.C.A. § 9613(f).

       This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department intends to file the Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania upon the filing by the Department of its response to the significant written comments. The Consent Decree which contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The Consent Decree 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 Tim Sheehan at (610) 832-6149. A public comment period on the Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the Consent Decree to the Department by August 11, 1999, by submitting them to Tim Sheehan at the previous address.
