   The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater from a proposed construction activity into the surface waters of the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations set forth in the permit and special conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative. Limitations are provided in the permit as erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities which restrict the rate and quantity of sediment discharged.

   Where indicated, the EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.24(d).

A public hearing may be held if the Regional Office considers the public response significant.

   Sections 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify 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 a site-specific standard or who intend to remediate a site in a Special Industrial Area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides 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. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of the cleanup standards identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific cleanup standard, in whole or in part, and for sites determined to be located in Special Industrial Areas. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area by the person conducting remediation. For the sites identified below, a municipality may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified below. During this comment period, a municipality may request that the person identified below, as the remediator of a site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved, and comments, should be directed to the remediator of a site. For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, please contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed.

Consent Order and Agreement

   Avtex Fibers, Inc. Site
Vernon Township, Crawford County

   Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby given that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement dated April 2, 1996, with the Meadville Redevelopment Authority (MRA) concerning the Avtex Fibers, Inc. Site (site). The site encompasses approximately 170 acres in Vernon Township. At various times from the 1920s through the mid-1980s, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed throughout the site. Site response actions have been conducted, either by the Department or with the Department's approval, to protect the public health, public welfare and the environment.

   The MRA operated a portion of the site when there was a release of hazardous substances into the environment. Based on information available to the Department, the Department has determined that MRA's contribution of hazardous substances to the site were minimal compared to the nature, volume and extent of hazardous substances attributable to other known responsible persons. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to settle any claims it may have against MRA in consideration of MRA's performance of future Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities to be implemented at the site. The O&M activities which the MRA will perform include maintenance of the substation encapsulation area, flyash landfill, waste disposal cell, soil cover areas, asphalt cover areas, riprap area and regraded area along French Creek, riprap areas at the north and south outfall, perimeter fence and site monitoring wells.

   The specifics of the Department's settlement with MRA are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlement with MRA if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlement with MRA shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant comments that it receives during the 60-day public comment period.

   Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for review at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Comments may be submitted in writing, to Anita Stainbrook, Project Manager, at the above address. Further information may be obtained by contacting Anita Stainbrook at (814) 332-6648.
