HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP Under the act of October 18, 1988 De Minimis Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act Quality Container Corporation Site City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County The 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 multiple consent order and agreements for de minimis settlements with 66 parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Quality Container Corporation (QCC) site. The QCC site is a parcel of land of approximately 1.25 acres located in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, at the intersection of Collins Street and E. Ontario Street. The surrounding area is zoned commerical and residential.
QCC operated a drum reconditioning facility from 1977 through June 1990. QCC stopped operations in July of 1990 and subsequently abandoned the site leaving roll-off containers, drums and wastes generated by facility operations. In addition, process equipment on the site was not cleaned of wastes at the time the facility was abandoned. The roll-off containers, drums, process equipment and abandoned wastes were not contained and were accessible to the public.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the QCC site, the site was deemed as a HSCA site on August 12, 1994 under section 502 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.502. The Department subsequently implemented and completed an interim response from March 20, 1995 through February 8, 1996 to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred response costs of approximately $1.8 million related to the release or threat of release of hazardous substances.
During the implementation of the interim response, the Department seized QCC records located in an office trailer at the site. The QCC records contained documentation regarding potentially responsible parties that were identified by the Department. Based on a review of the QCC records, the Department has determined that 94 potentially responsible parties are de minimis parties, and offered to enter into consent order and agreements with those parties for de minimis settlements under section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622(g), and section 707 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.707.
