HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Proposed Settlement under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
North Penn Area 1 Superfund Site
Souderton Borough, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq.), has entered into a settlement with the Estate of Harry M. Maurer for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances disposed at the North Penn 1 Area Superfund Site (site). This site is located in Souderton, Montgomery County, PA and is one of 12 sites associated with contamination detected in the North Penn Water Authority Wells (No. NP1-NP12).
Between 1953 and approximately 1983, Gentle Cleaners, a dry cleaning business owned by Harry M. Maurer, operated on the site and generated, owned and possessed hazardous substances. Tetrachloroethene (PCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane and other volatile organic compounds have contaminated groundwater, soil and sediments on the site. These conditions constituted a release and threatened release of hazardous substances on the site. In response, the Department and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have undertaken response actions to remediate contamination on the site.
Based on the available assets of the Estate of Harry Maurer, the Department and the Estate have agreed to enter an inability to pay settlement in which the estate shall reimburse the Department in the amount of $3,000 for response costs incurred at the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, which provides that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Order and Agreement, which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, located in Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting either April Flipse, at (610) 832-5937 or Gina M. Thomas, at (610) 832-6300. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement by November 17, 1999, by submitting them to April Flipse at the previous address.
