SPECIAL NOTICES
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Oliver Site
Waterford Township, Erie County Under 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 an agreement with the Waterford Recreation Association (Association) concerning the Oliver Site located in Waterford Township, Erie County.
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site, and these substances have contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department has incurred more than $1 million in costs at the Oliver Site, and the Department estimates that it will cost approximately $3 million more to clean up the Site. Some of the cleanup has been completed by responsible persons for the Oliver Site under the direction of the Department. The Department is currently negotiating with another responsible person to finish the cleanup of the Site.
The Association intends to obtain ownership of the approximately 52 acre property located within the Oliver Site (property), to develop and manage the property for softball, baseball and other recreational uses by the public, without profit to the Association. Upon obtaining ownership of the property, the Association shall grant the Department, and its designated agents, access to the property to finish the cleanup of the Oliver Site. The Association shall also help maintain the cleanup of the property at the Oliver Site.
The specific terms of this agreement are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement between the Department and the Association. The Department will receive and consider comments on this Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department may withdraw its consent if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this agreement is inappropriate, inadequate, or not in the public interest. This agreement shall become final upon the Department filing its responses to any significant comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.
Comments on the Consent Order and Agreement may be submitted, in writing, to Robert J. Kimball, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement and further information may be obtained by contacting Robert Kimball at (814) 332-6648.

Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company Site
Newberry Township, York 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 entered into a number of consent decrees with multiple parties regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. These consent decrees were reached as part of the Department's cost recovery litigation in PADEP v. Columbia Leather and Coatings Company, Inc. et al. (Civil Action No. 1:CV-96-1502).
The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISCC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 potentially responsible parties for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 135 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3.3 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
On August 28, 1997, the Department lodged with the Court in the Columbia Leather matter a total of 12 proposed consent decrees, two of them involving multiple parties. Under one of these multiple party consent decrees, 13 parties responsible for more than 5,000 gallons of hazardous substances at the ISCC site [Dri-Print Foils, Inc.; Fuller Company; Kelly Springfield Tire Company (a division of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company); Kerr Group, Inc.; Lyon Metal Products, Inc.; Mohawk Flush Doors (Nortek, Inc.); Quality Chemicals, Inc.; Quebecor Printing Memphis, Inc.; Specialty Screw Machine Products, Inc.; Thomson 60 Case LLC; TR-Metro Chemical Inc.; Verla International, Ltd. and VIZ Manufacturing Company] will pay the Department $533,535 to reimburse the Department for its response costs at the ISCC site.
Under the second multiple party consent decree, 52 de minimis parties [Advanced Industrial Services, Inc.; ADVO, Inc.; American Technology Corp.; Amphenol Corporation; Best Merchandise Corp. (F/k/a Arthur Matney Co., Inc.); Metalcast Div. of Anchor Fence, Inc.; Anne Arundel County, Md.; Battenfeld Blowmolding Division of Battenfeld Gloucester-Engineering Co., Inc.; Bromante Corp.; C-B Tool Co.; Champion International Corp.; Columbia Products, Inc.; C. W. Hayden Co., Inc.; DENTSPLY International, Inc.; Display Craft Manufacturing Co.; Dryden Oil Company Inc.; Dunlap-Mellor and Company, Inc.; Electron Energy Corporation; Erie Engineered Products, Inc. (as successor to Metricase Corp.); Fenner Manheim; Five Star Group, Inc.; Fleming Companies, Inc.; Globe Screen Print; Gunnebo Fastening Corp.; Industrial Finishing Products, Inc.; King Industries, Inc.; Larson-Juhl (f/k/a American Moulding); Lucent Technologies (as a successor to AT&T Corp.); Luxo Corporation; Metraplex Corporation; Novamet Specialty Products Corporation; Owens Corning; Pepsi-Cola Operating Company of Chesapeake & Indianapolis; Rearden Metal Products, Inc.; Royer Industries, Inc.; Sal Chemical Co., Inc.; Sandvik Process Systems, Inc.; Schweitzer-Mauduit International; Sheetz, Inc; Simon Ladder Towers, Inc; The Southland Corporation; S&S Industries, Inc.; Statton Furniture Mfg Co.; Tec Inc.; UIDC Management, Inc.; Universal Security Instruments, Inc.; Cooper Industries, Inc. (on behalf of Wagner Lighting); Washington Aluminum Co.; York Container Company; and York Industrial Tool Inc.] will pay the Department $555,965 to resolve the Department's response costs claims. A number of parties to both of these multiple party consent decrees will also be resolving their liability to the Department for natural resource damages relating to the ISCC site.
The Department has also lodged with the Court proposed consent decrees with American Inks & Coatings Corporation ($11,078), Berkley Products Company ($18,426), Biddle Sawyer, Inc. $37,514), Boulden, Inc. ($154,280), Davis & Hemphill, Inc. ($63,900), Mid-State Trading Company ($13,976), Pride Solvents & Chemical Company ($68,080), Ross Technology Corporation ($10,181), Safeguard Chemical Company ($121,279), and Stambaugh's Air Service, Inc. ($4,833). Under all of the proposed consent decrees that are subject to this notice the Department will receive a total of $1,593,047.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The proposed consent decrees are subject to final approval by the Court in the Columbia Leather matter. The proposed consent decrees that contain the specific terms of the settlements are available for public review and comment. The proposed consent decrees can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4592. A public comment period on the proposed consent decrees will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent decrees to the Department by November 5, 1997, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
