HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP Under the Act of October 18, 1988 Proposed Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Nicolet Site
Borough of Norristown, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has proposed an interim response at the Nicolet site.
The Nicolet site is located at 600 and 700 East Washington Street, in the Borough of Norristown, Montgomery County. The site is the location of a former facility of Nicolet, Incorporated.
The Department has determined the following:
At this facility, Nicolet Incorporated (formerly Nicolet Industries, Inc.) produced pipe and boiler insulation, commercial grade asbestos papers, roofing and flooring felt, and underground pipewrap.
Approximately 100 drums are left on site, all but 12 inside the main building. There are also other containers of waste material inside the building. There are five above ground storage tanks outside the building, which have leaked onto the surface of the ground. Wastes inside the buildings are in deteriorated containers without proper spill containment systems.
One drum was observed in the Schuylkill river at the edge of the property.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] On April 30, 1997 the Department sampled two drums at the site and found that they contain hazardous wastes.
The records of the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds list the area of the Nicolet buildings as 116,278 square feet, and of the parcel on which they are located (parcel number 13-00-37996-007) as 3.50 acres (152,460 square feet). The parcel with the former Nicolet parking lot (parcel number 13-00-38000-003) has an area of 4.16 acres (181,210 square feet); that parcel of land is owned by Reading Real Estate Corporation, and was formerly leased to Nicolet. The Nicolet HSCA site comprises both parcels.
Analysis of soil samples taken on site during the Site Investigation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicated significant soil contamination with heavy metals and with semivolatile organic compounds.
The Department considered the following alternatives in response to conditions at the Nicolet site that pose a threat to public health or safety and the environment.
Alternative 1: No Action
HSCA requires the Department to consider the alternative of taking no action. Under this alternative no action would be taken to prevent releases of hazardous substances to the environment at the Nicolet site. This alternative would do nothing to protect public health. Hazardous waste would remain on site, allowing further releases to the environment.
Alternative 2: Removal of Waste Piles and Containerized Waste and Further Investigation of Site Contamination
Hazardous wastes in piles and various containers (including drums, bags, cylinders and the like) would be removed from the site and properly disposed. The number of drums is estimated at 100. This alternative would be protective of public health in that it would eliminate a source of potential exposure of the public to hazardous wastes, and prevent further releases of hazardous substances to the environment.
A further investigation would be undertaken by the Department to characterize wastes in tanks, and to identify any additional uncontained wastes or contaminated soil which pose a threat to the public health or safety or to the environment.
Proposed Response:
The Department is proposing alternative 2 as previously described. Alternative 1 is not protective of public health or the environment. Alternative 2 is cost effective and is protective of public health and the environment.
Administrative Record and Public Hearing
The administrative record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the selection of this response action, is available for public review and comment Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the DEP office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428-2233, (610) 832-6200.

Settlement Under the
Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into a proposed consent decree regarding the Department's costs incurred for response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. This proposed consent decree has been entered into with Columbia Leather and Coatings Company, a defendant in Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection v. Columbia Leather and Coatings Company, Inc., et. al., 1:CV-96-1502 (M. D. Pa.) and has been lodged with the court during the 60-day comment period required by section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113).
The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 potentially responsible parties for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3.1 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
The proposed consent decree with Columbia Leather and Coatings Company was lodged with the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania on July 21, 1997. Under the terms of the consent decree Columbia Leather and Coatings will pay the Department a total of $5,000 over a period of 1 1/2 years to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site. The amount of this settlement was based primarily upon Columbia Leather's limited ability to pay the total amount claimed by the Department.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will respond to any significant written comments and request that the Court take appropriate action regarding the proposed consent decree. The proposed consent decree that contains the specific terms of the proposed settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed consent decree 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) 657-4125. A public comment period on the proposed consent decrees will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent decree to the Department by October 9, 1997, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
