Consent Order and Agreement between Department of Environmental Protection and
Clearfield Foundation

   On October 2, 2006, a Consent Order and Agreement between the Department of Environmental Protection and The Clearfield Foundation was executed to establish a civil penalty for a wetland encroachment violation on the Foundation's 200 acre Clearfield Fireman's Industrial Park site in Lawrence Township, Clearfield County and to establish a schedule of activities which the Foundation must accomplish with regard to replacement of 5.9 acres of wetlands at a 3 to 1 ratio, before any further development of the site may commence. The industrial park is being developed under a Business in Our Sites Program grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
