HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Settlement under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Naginey Quarry Site
Armagh Township, Mifflin 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 proposed Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with Christopher J. and Kimba J. Swyers (Swyers), also doing business as Mifflin County Recycling (collectively the Settlors) regarding response actions, response costs and access at the Naginey Quarry Site (site).
The site is 55 acres of land located in Armagh Township, Mifflin County, approximately 3 miles east of the town of Milroy. The site is located in a rural area bordered on the south and east by agricultural lands, on the west by private residences and on the north by the Mifflin County Recycling Center and a limestone quarry. Approximately 11 acres of the site are currently owned by others, but subject to an option-to-purchase agreement by Settlors (Naginey Property). The remaining acreage of the site was sold. Approximately 1.7 acre were sold to Joe Krentzman and Sons, Inc. in 1972 (Krentzman Property); approximately 11.67 acres were sold to Mr. Bonson in 1996 and resold to Eastern Industries; approximately 28.22 acres were sold to Settlors through a Purchase Agreement in 1996 (Swyers Property), along with the option referenced previously.
From 1972 to 1980, Krentzman leased its 1.7 acre to several related entities, the last being Independent Trading Corporation (ITC). The operations of these entities included the processing of spent batteries. These entities dumped battery casings and other solid waste both on the Krentzman Property and the Naginey Property.
Prior to Settlors owning or operating at the site, hazardous substances within the meaning of section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601(14), and section 103 of HSCA, were disposed by others at the Naginey Property. Lead, arsenic and antimony have contaminated the surface water, groundwater, soil and/or sediments at the site. Based upon a Remedial Investigation, the Department has determined that further response actions are necessary to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the site. The Department's proposed response includes excavation of contaminated soils and off-site disposal.
The Department has information indicating that Charles H. and Constance C. Naginey, Independent Trading Corporation and Joe Krentzman and Sons, Inc. are responsible persons for the site within the meaning of section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9607, and section 701 of HSCA. The Department has settled with Charles H. and Constance C. Naginey concerning the site. This is documented in a Consent Order and Agreement dated July 27, 1998.
Based upon the information that the Department has obtained concerning Settlors and the site, and based upon the information certified to by Settlors, the Department has determined that Settlors: (1) did not conduct or permit the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substances at the site; (2) did not contribute to the release or threatened release of hazardous substances at the site through any act or omission; and (3) acquired the approximately 28 acre parcel of the property within the site with no actual or constructive knowledge that that 28 acre parcel of the property was used for the generation, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substance, and (4) Settlors now intend to acquire the approximately 11 acre Naginey Property within the site after the date of this COA and after receiving the release and contribution protection afforded by this COA.
Based upon this, the Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve the foregoing matters without litigation and to enter into a de minimis settlement with Settlors section 122(g) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622(g), and section 70 of HSCA.
On February 28, 2000, the Department and the Settlors entered into a Consent Order and Agreement. Under the terms of the COA, the Settlors will pay the Department $10, and upon purchase of the Naginey Property, shall grant the Department and its designated agents, including contractors and responsible persons under the direction of the Department, access to and entry upon the Naginey Property and Swyers Property to perform Response actions at the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA. This section provides that the settlement will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed Consent Order and Agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 705-4864. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Armagh Township Municipal Building, 224 College Avenue, Milroy, PA 17063, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The Administrative record will be open for comment from the March 25, 2000, date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and will remain open for 60 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before May 25, 2000, by mailing them to Barbara Faletti at the previously noted address.
