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 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, 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 regional office before 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Proposed Consent Decree William Taylor Estate Site, Wheatland Borough, Mercer County Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Decree (CD) with Viacom, John Maneely Company, Grimes Aerospace Company and AK Steel Corporation (Settlors) concerning the Department's response costs at the William Taylor Estate Site (Site). The property containing the Site is approximately 42 acres. The Site is an approximately 12-acre portion of the property and is the portion formerly utilized as a mixed waste landfill in a residential/industrial area in Wheatland Borough, Mercer County. The landfill operated at the Site from approximately 1958 until mid 1970s and accepted industrial wastes containing hazardous substances from several industrial-manufacturing operations.
These wastes and other materials containing hazardous substances were dumped, spilled or otherwise disposed at the Site and these hazardous substances contaminated the soils and sediments at the Site. These substances are defined in section 103 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103) as a ''hazardous substance.'' The presence of these hazardous substances at the property constitutes a ''release'' and a ''threat of release'' of a hazardous substance, as defined in section 103 of the HSCA.
Two response actions were conducted at the Site. In 1991, the Department implemented an Interim Response at the Site that included, among other things, erection of a fence to control access to known areas of contamination. In 1996 and 1997, the Department's contractors conducted a Final Site Characterization and Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Report (EE/CA Study) for the Site. The EE/CA Study indicated further response was needed at the Site to help abate risks to human health and the environment posed by hazardous substances at the Site. In 1998, the Settlors implemented a Remedial Response (Response) at the Site to help abate those risks. That Response included, among other things, excavation and consolidation of areas of contamination, followed by capping, then regrading with an extension and maintenance of the fence installed in 1991.
The Settlors have agreed to pay $440,000 of the Department's past costs, plus accrued interest, and transfer title of the property containing the Site to the Wheatland Conservation Authority, which has agreed to maintain the property for the public benefit. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CD with the Settlors. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CD for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CD if the comments concerning the CD disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CD is inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, assuming that no significant objections to the CD have been submitted or appeal from the CD filed, the Department will ask presiding Judge John C. Reed of the Mercer County Court of Common Pleas to execute the CD as an Order of the Court, at which point the CD will be deemed effective.
The CD is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA and at the offices of the Honorable Judge John C. Reed, Mercer County Court of Common Pleas, Mercer County Courthouse. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mark Gorman, Program Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6648. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
Settlement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Whitmoyer Laboratories Superfund Site, Jackson Township, Lebanon County The Department, under the authority of the HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675) and section 1917-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 510-17), has entered into a proposed settlement with Jackson Township, Lebanon County and the Jackson Township Recreational Authority (Settlors).
The proposed settlement resolves claims of the Department with the Settlors under the HSCA and CERCLA for response costs, as defined in the HSCA and CERCLA, for the Whitmoyer Laboratories Superfund Site (Site).
Based upon information that the Department has obtained concerning the Settlors and the Site and based upon the information certified by the Settlors in this Consent Order and Agreement (COA), the Department has determined that the Settlors did not: (1) conduct or permit the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substances at the Site; (2) contribute to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site through any act or omission; and (3) contribute any hazardous substances to the Site and thus both the amount and toxicity of Settlers' contribution to the Site is ''minimal.''
The Department believes that the COA is fair, reasonable, practicable, in the public interest and in furtherance of the statutory goals of the HSCA and CERCLA. Upon signing this COA and in payment of Response costs, the Settlors shall remit $1 to the Department.
For a 60-day period, from the date of this publication, the public is invited to review the COA, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110 by contacting Richard Morgan, (717) 705-4844.
After review, the public may submit written comments on the COA before September 8, 2004, by sending them to Richard Morgan at the Department's Southcentral Region Office at the address previously noted. A person adversely affected by the settlement may also file an appeal from the COA to the Environmental Hearing Board.
Questions concerning this notice should be directed to Richard Morgan.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office after which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8, administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act), require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
