HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Settlement—Delaware River Ash Spill
Natural Resource Damages Among the Department of Environmental Protection, the Fish and Boat Commission, Talen Generation, LLC and
Martins Creek, LLC
Lower Mount Bethel Township,
Northampton CountyPursuant to section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (HSCA), 35 P. S. § 6020.1113, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) hereby publishes Notice of a Proposed Settlement with Talen Generation, LLC, formerly known as PPL Generation, LLC, and Martins Creek, LLC, formerly known as PPL Martins Creek, LLC (Settlors) of claims for natural resource damages associated with the ash spill from Ash Basin No. 4 at the PPL Martins Creek Steam Electric Station that began on August 23, 2005.
Settlors owned and operated the Martins Creek Steam Electric Station located in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, PA (Facility). The Facility consisted, in part, of two coal fired electric generating units (Units 1 and 2), which were decommissioned on September 15, 2007. Ash from the coal combustion was mixed with water and piped to large open outdoor impoundments for settling. Water was then discharged from the impoundments to the Delaware River pursuant to a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (''NPDES'') permit from the Department.
On August 23, 2005, a wooden stop log in the discharge structure of Ash Basin No. 4 failed, causing an unpermitted and uncontrolled discharge of fly ash slurry from the Basin. Most of the fly ash slurry discharged directly into the Delaware River. Large amounts of fly ash slurry also ran across DePues Ferry Road, onto adjacent fields and into the Oughoughton Creek.
The Department filed a lawsuit against the Settlors on November 18, 2005 as a result of the spill in which it asserted claims for, among other things, natural resource damages. Most of that lawsuit, with the exception of the Department's claims for natural resource damages, was resolved on May 20, 2008 through a Consent Decree between the Department, Settlors and a group of citizen intervenors. Notice of the proposed settlement was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 3, 2007 (See 37 Pa.B. 1050).
Following the entry of the Consent Decree, the Department, working in conjunction with members of a Natural Resource Damage Assessment Team (NRDA Team), currently comprised of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the Fish and Boat Commission (FBC) and the Delaware River Basin Commission acting as a consultant to the NRDA Team, prepared a report entitled, PPL Martins Creek Natural Resource Damage Assessment-Environmental Assessment and Restoration Plan (''NRDA Report''). The NRDA Report concluded that natural resource damages resulted from the spill and cleanup process. It further concluded that dam removal and mussel restoration projects would provide sufficient compensation to the public for those damages.
The Department, along with the NRDA Team, are now proposing a settlement with the Settlors to resolve outstanding claims for natural resource damages through a Consent Order and Agreement (''CO&A''). The total settlement amount for Natural Resource Damages will be $1,325,200.00. The proposed CO&A requires the following:
a. Within twenty (20) calendar days after Settlors' receipt of an executed
CO&A from the Department and FBC, Settlors shall pay to the DRBC the sum of $902,150.00, which, in addition to the payment in paragraph b below, shall constitute the ''Settlement Payment''. The Settlement Payment shall be in full and complete settlement of claims against the Settlors for compensation for any damages to, and restoration of, the lost value of, injury to, or destruction of Natural Resources, as that term is defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103, and natural resource services. The Settlement Payment includes PPL's cash contribution toward dam removal projects in Pennsylvania. It also includes 15% for dam removal contingency fees, and $50,000.00 for DRBC's administration fees. The Settlement Payment will be administered in accordance with a Letter Agreement between the Department, FBC and DRBC. Any leftover funds remaining after implementation of the dam removal projects will be allocated based on the consensus of the PADEP and the FBC.
b. Within twenty (20) calendar days after the Settlors' receipt of the executed
CO&A from the Department, PPL shall also pay to the DRBC a separate sum of $50,000.00 for a mussel restoration project(s). DRBC shall submit the details of a mussel restoration project(s) to the NRDA Team for approval. Once a mussel restoration project(s) is agreed upon by the NRDA Team members, the DRBC will implement the project(s). Any leftover funds remaining after implementation of the mussel restoration projects will be distributed based on the consensus of the NRDA Team members. DRBC will provide progress and general accounting reports to the NRDA Team on a quarterly basis within the first week of each calendar quarter. The progress and general accounting reports will be reviewed by the NRDA Team members.
The Settlors will also pay a separate fee of $373,050.00 to the NJDEP for the benefit of New Jersey based restoration projects pursuant to a separate agreement with that agency.
Persons wishing to comment on the NRDA Report and proposed settlement are invited to submit comments to the Department's Northeast Regional Office within 60 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 60-day period will be considered in the final determination regarding the proposed settlement. The Department may propose changes or choose not to agree to the proposed settlement if the comments received disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department shall file a response to significant written comments received or indicate that no such comments were received.
Commenters should include their name, address and a concise statement to inform the Regional Office of the exact basis of any comment, and the relevant facts upon which it is based. Comments may be submitted in writing to Colleen Connolly, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 800-645-5984.

Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401 The Department has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
