Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Dupont/New Castle Junk Site
City of New Castle and Union Township,
Lawrence 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 a Consent Order and Agreement with New Castle Junk Company (Company), and Roland Levine and Miriam Levine (Levines) concerning the Dupont/New Castle Junk Site (site). This site is located in the City of New Castle and Union Township, Lawrence County, PA.
The Department has incurred $1,100,000 in response costs at the site, and estimates that it will cost between 11 and 14 million dollars to clean up the site in the future. However, based upon the Company's and the Levines' available assets and Roland Levine's uninsured medical expenses, the Department has determined that the Company and the Levines cannot pay for any substantial portion of the response costs at the site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a financial inability to pay settlement with the Company and the Levines whereby the Company and the Levines will, among other things, pay $216,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund and will place a lien for $1,100,000 on the Company's property within the site. The specifics of the Department's settlement with the Company and the Levines are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Consent Order and Agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Consent Order and Agreement is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with the Company and the Levines shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.
Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Harold Nye, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.

Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a settlement with LCEDC concerning LCEDC's possible future ownership and development of the site.
Under the terms of the Consent Order and Agreement, upon obtaining indicia of ownership of the site, or a portion of the site, LCEDC will grant the Department access for the clean-up of the site. In addition, upon obtaining indicia of ownership of the Battery property at the site, LCEDC will maintain the Response actions conducted at the Battery property.
