SPECIAL NOTICES
Notice of Settlement Under the
Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Adams Sanitation Company, Inc.
Tyrone Township, Adams CountyThe 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 decree regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Adams Sanitation Company, Inc. (ADSCO) site. The ADSCO Site is an inactive, privately owned landfill situated on an approximate 108-acre tract of land. The Site is located in Tyrone Township, Adams County. The surrounding area is rural. An onsite private water supply has been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the landfilled areas.
The landfill was operated by Adams Sanitation Company from 1970--1983, during which time approximately 78 acres were filled. In 1983, Keystone Sanitation Company acquired Adams Sanitation Company's assets, name and trade name, including their lease rights and obligations at the ADSCO Landfill. The rights and obligations were assigned to Adams Sanitation Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Keystone Sanitation Company. Between 1984 and 1990, approximately 8.8 acres were landfilled. The Department alleges that Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc., is a successor to Keystone Sanitation Company, Inc., with respect to the ADSCO Landfill.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment, the Department conducted an initial site characterization. The Department currently estimates that its past and future response costs for the ADSCO Site will amount to approximately $2.5 million.
The Department has entered into a proposed consent decree with Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc., and the Keystone Defendants. Under the terms of the consent decree, the settling parties will pay the Department a total of $436,000, plus the forfeiture of the ADSCO Landfill bond as their share of liability in reimbursement of past and future response costs at the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlements will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The proposed consent decree that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The proposed consent decree 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. A public comment period on the proposed consent decree will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the proposed consent decree to the Department by December 27, 2000, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
