   Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Sections 302 and 303 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 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. 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.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, 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. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Reopening of the Administrative Record; Interim Response under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

   Quality Container Corporation Site
Philadelphia City and County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) has completed an interim response at the Quality Container Corporation Site. Notice of this response was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, vol. 24, no. 37, on September 10, 1994. The Quality Container Corporation site (site) was located at 2135 E. Ontario Street, in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia.

   The site operated as a drum reconditioning facility until going out of business in 1990. It consisted of a 1.25 acre property with several connected buildings and two open, unpaved courtyards. The original planned HSCA response involved the removal of hazardous wastes and materials abandoned on the site. During the response activities, the quantity of hazardous wastes and materials was found to be far greater than the original estimates.

   In addressing the release of hazardous substances at the site, the Department's major objective was to eliminate the human health and environmental threat caused by the abandoned hazardous wastes and materials on the site. In order to achieve this objective, the Department selected a response which included sampling and analysis for waste characterization and for treatment and disposal purposes, and arranging and providing for off site removal of the wastes to appropriate treatment/disposal facilities. All wastes involved in this response were removed from the site between March 20, 1995 and February 8, 1996.

   Under section 506(g) of HSCA, documentation of the Department's costs incurred in order to perform the above mentioned interim response have been added to the Administrative Record. The Department is providing this notice under section 506(h) of HSCA. The publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates an additional 60-day public comment period, as provided, under HSCA. The sole purpose of this additional comment period is to accept comments relating to costs incurred by the Department. Comments not related to costs will not be considered.

   The Administrative Record, which contains the information that forms the basis for and documents the costs of this response, is available for public review and comment.
