An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate identifies a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department must provide a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future use of the site.

Public Notice of Proposed Consent Decrees
Oliver Site
Waterford Township, Erie 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 two Consent Decrees concerning settlement of the Department's Complaint against General Electric Company (GE) and GAF Building Materials Corporation (GAF). The Department's Complaint concerns the investigation and cleanup of the Oliver Site in Erie County, PA. The Department's Complaint against GE and GAF is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania at the Federal Courthouse in Erie, PA.
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site, and these hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, groundwater and sediments at the Site. The Department has incurred approximately 1 million dollars in past response costs, and estimates that it will cost approximately 3 million dollars to clean-up the Oliver Site.
The Department has entered into a settlement with GE whereby GE will, among other things, pay $920,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund and will design and construct a water service for the residences with drinking water that is or could be affected by the hazardous substances at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GE.
The Department has also entered into a de minimis settlement with GAF whereby GAF will pay $28,550 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. This de minimis settlement is based upon the Department's determination that the amount of hazardous substances contributed by GAF is minimal compared to the amount of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; the toxic or other hazardous effects of these hazardous substances are minimal compared to the effects of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; these hazardous substances have not contaminated the groundwater at the Oliver Site; and these hazardous substances have caused and will cause only a minor portion of the response costs at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GAF.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to these Consent Decrees for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlements with GE and GAF if the comments concerning the Consent Decrees disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlements are inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlements with GE and GAF shall become final upon the filing of the Department's responses to any significant comments to the Consent Decrees.
Copies of the Consent Decrees are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pennsylvania and at the United Sates District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Erie). Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.
