S. § 6020.1113), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has modified its Consent Order and Agreement with Millcreek Township (Township), dated April 6, 1995, concerning the Millcreek Dump Site (Site) in Erie County, PA.
From approximately 1970 until 1981, waste containing hazardous substances was disposed at the 84.5 acre Site. On April 6, 1995, the Department entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with the Township whereby the Township, among other things, paid $1,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, and it granted the Department and the EPA access to the 4 acre parcel that the Township owns at the Site. The Parties now propose to modify the April 6, 1995 Consent Order and Agreement to include the Township's future ownership of the 64.7 acre property that lies adjacent to and south of the Site that is currently owned by Conrail (Conrail Property).
The Remedial action at the Site includes the construction of a cap over the landfill at the Site and construction of a flood retention basin. To facilitate this Remedial action, a portion of the cap and the basin must be constructed on the adjacent Conrail Property. Conrail intends to donate the Conrail Property to the Township for public use, including for any construction necessary to complete the Remedial action at the Site. The Township is willing to take ownership of the Conrail Property and is willing to grant permanent easements on the Conrail Property to facilitate the completion of the Remedial action at the Site.
The specifics concerning the Township's future ownership of the Conrail Property are set forth in the Department's Consent Order and Agreement with the Township, dated April 25, 1997. The Department will receive and consider comments on the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this Consent Order and Agreement is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement shall become final, and it shall replace the April 6, 1995 Consent Order and Agreement, upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments concerning the Township's future ownership of the Conrail Property.
Copies of the April 25, 1997 Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. 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 (800) 645-5984.
