HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
Under the Act of October 18, 1988
Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9601 et seq. (CERCLA), has entered into a settlement with the Estate of Isabella J. Nelson for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances stored and disposed of at the Susquehanna Drum Site, located at 1668 Susquehanna Road in Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, PA (site). This Site is a part of the Estate of Isabella Nelson (Estate) and includes a barn where drums and compressed gas cylinders of hazardous substances were stored.
In May, 1998, the Department received a complaint about fuming drums of unknown materials stored at the site. An emergency investigation by the Department revealed the presence of numerous unlabeled drums, some of which contained silicon tetrachloride, a reactive and corrosive hazardous substance which reacts with air and causes the release of hydrogen chloride gas into the atmosphere. Additionally, the Department discovered approximately 200 compressed gas cylinders, some of which contained silane, a reactive hazardous substance. Based upon the volatile conditions at the site, including the threat of fire or explosion, the Department conducted a prompt interim response under section 505(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(b)) to abate the release and threat of release of hazardous substances. The Department incurred $140,743.81 in response costs for this site.
The Estate is a ''responsible person'' in accordance with section 701 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.701) and as such, the Estate has agreed to reimburse the Department for its share of the response costs expended at the site. Accordingly, the Estate and the Department have executed a Consent Order and Agreement which provides for the Estate's payment of $21,000 to resolve its liability for certain response costs incurred at the site.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) 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 Thomas Sheehan, at (610) 832-6149 or Gina M. Thomas, at (610) 832-6300. Thomas Sheehan and Gina Thomas may also be contacted electronically at sheehan.thomas@dep.state.pa.us and thomas.gina@dep.state.pa.us, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Order and Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from today's date, by submitting them to Thomas Sheehan at the above address.
