Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
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.

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Shaler/JTC Site
Bruin Borough, Butler CountyUnder section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with Witco Corporation (Witco) concerning the Shaler/JTC site (Site). The Site is located in Bruin Borough, Butler County, PA.
As the result of past operations and possible waste disposal activities, hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, groundwater and sediments at the Site, as well as other media in tanks, drums, vats and buildings at the Site. The Department has already incurred approximately $3,335,000 in response costs at the Site, and estimates that it will cost between 4 and 6 million additional dollars to clean up the Site in the future. However, the Department has determined that Witco is a de minimis settlor, based upon the Department's determination that: the amount of hazardous substances contributed by Witco is minimal compared to the amount of the other hazardous substances at the Site; the toxic or other hazardous effects of these hazardous substances are minimal compared to the effects of the other hazardous substances at the Site; and these hazardous substances have caused and will cause only a minor portion of the response costs at the Site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a de minimis financial settlement with Witco to, among other things, pay $500,000 to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. The specifics of the Department's de minimis settlement with Witco 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 Witco if the comments concerning the Consent Order and Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Witco shall become final upon the filling of the Department's response to any significant comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.
Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at both the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA, and at the Department's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Harold Nye, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.
