HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

SETTLEMENT UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT AND 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.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into a proposed settlement with Kanaiyalal G. Jajal to resolve his liability for response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances stored and/or disposed at the Susquehanna Road Drum Site (Site). This Site is located at 1668 Susquehanna Road in Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, PA and includes a barn where drums and compressed gas cylinders of hazardous substances were stored.

   In May, 1998, the Department received a complaint about fuming drums of unknown materials stored at the Site. An emergency investigation by the Department revealed the presence of numerous unlabeled drums, some of which contained silicon tetrachloride, a reactive and corrosive hazardous substance which reacts with air and causes the release of hydrogen chloride gas into the atmosphere. Additionally, the Department discovered approximately 200 compressed gas cylinders, some of which contained silane, a reactive hazardous substance. Based upon the volatile conditions at the Site, including the threat of fire or explosion, the Department conducted a prompt interim response under Section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)) to abate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances. The Department incurred $140,743.81 in response costs for this Site.

   Mr. Jajal subleased space at the Site and stored hazardous substances in the barn on the Site. Therefore, Mr. Jajal is a ''responsible person'' in accordance with Section 701 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.701) and as such, he has agreed to reimburse the Department for a share of the response costs expended at the Site. Accordingly, to resolve his liability, the Department and Mr. Jajal have executed a Consent Order and Agreement which requires Mr. Jajal to reimburse the Department in the amount of $25,000.

   This notice is provided under Section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) which provides that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located in Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken PA 19428, by contacting either Donna Suevo at (610) 832-5933 or Gina Thomas, at (610) 832-6300. Donna Suevo and Gina Thomas may also be contacted electronically at dsuevo@state.pa.us and Thomas.gina@dep.state.pa.us, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Donna Suevo at the above address.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSED CONSENT ORDER AND AGREEMENT

Sigma Electroplating Site, Whitpain Township, Montgomery County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq., (CERCLA), has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with 1950 Skippack Pike, LP (1950), for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances disposed at the Sigma Electroplating Site (the Site). This Site is located at 1950 Skippack Pike, Whitpain Township, Montgomery County.

   This Site was the former location of electroplating operations of Sigma Electroplating, Inc. In November 1994, the Department initiated a prompt interim response action at the Site to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Site. This response action included the removal of deteriorating drums of hazardous substances located in and around the plating building at the Site, the removal of storage tanks abandoned on the Site as well as the removal of hazardous wastewater treatment sludge and contaminated soil on the Site. Presently, the Department maintains groundwater monitoring at the Site.

   1950 desires to purchase the Site and intends to develop it for use as an executive office complex. 1950's development of the Site may include the demolition of the buildings presently located on the Site. However, no investigation of the areas underneath these structures has been conducted to determine whether there has been a release or threat of release of hazardous substances in these areas. To the extent that further investigation and/or demolition of existing structures reveals the presence of hazardous substances in amounts which exceed the cleanup standards set forth in the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) (Act 2), the Department under its authority under HSCA, shall conduct additional response actions to remediate such hazardous substances to meet an appropriate Act 2 standard consistent with the use proposed by 1950.

   The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claim against 1950. Therefore, 1950 shall reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $15,000 and shall receive contribution protection from claims related to its purchase and ownership of the Site.

   This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) which states the ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the agreement is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located in Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken PA 19428, by contacting either David Ewald, at (610) 832-6200 or Gina M. Thomas, at (610) 832-6300. David Ewald and Gina Thomas may also be contacted electronically at DEWALD@state.pa.us and Thomas.gina@dep.state.pa.us, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to David Ewald at the above address.
