HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Public Notice of Proposed Consent Decree
Chem-Fab Site
300 North Broad Street
Doylestown Borough
Bucks County, PAThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), has entered into a Consent Decree with 300 North Broad Street, Ltd. (300 NBS), for reimbursement of certain response costs incurred to investigate and remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Chem-Fab Site in Doylestown Borough, Bucks County, PA (the site).
Between 1965 and 1995, Chem-Fab, Inc., an electroplating business operated the site and caused the release of hazardous substances on the site. The site is the source of groundwater contamination in certain areas of Doylestown Borough and Doylestown Township. The Department performed an environmental assessment and characterization of the site and its study revealed hexavalent chromium and other hazardous substances in groundwater beneath the site and on adjacent properties. The Department has incurred $1,337,071.19 in response costs related to investigation of the site and anticipates conducting future response actions to remediate hazardous substances released at the site.
As the owner of the site, 300 NBS is a responsible party under section 701 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6018.701). Consequently, the Department has a claim against this limited partnership for response costs incurred at the site. On July 21, 2005, 300 NBS agreed to reimburse the Department in the amount of $251,518.52 for certain past and future response costs incurred at the site. This agreement was made on the record before the Commonwealth Court and memorialized in an Order dated July 21, 2005, in the matter captioned and docketed as Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection v. 300 North Broad Street, Ltd., No. 334 M.D.1999. 300 NBS failed to comply with the July 21, 2005 Order.
It is in the public interest for the Department to resolve its claim against 300 NBS. The Department and 300 NBS have negotiated in good faith and 300 NBS has agreed to pay off the liability required in the Commonwealth Court's July 21, 2005 Order. Thus, the parties have entered into a Consent Decree to resolve the Department's outstanding claims.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), which states that, ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments.'' The Consent Decree, which contains the specific terms of the agreement 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 at 2 East Main Street in Norristown, PA by contacting either April Flipse, at (484) 250-5721 or Gina M. Thomas, Esquire at (484) 250-5930. April Flipse and Gina Thomas may also be contacted electronically at aflipse@state.pa.us and githomas@state.pa.us, respectively. A public comment period on the Consent Decree 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 April Flipse at the above address.

The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports.

EA17-005. The Clearfield Foundation, P. O. Box 250, Clearfield, PA 16830. Wetland creation and acid precipitation abatement project on State Gamelands No. 34 in Benezette Township, Elk County, ACOE Baltimore District.
The applicant proposes to construct, operate and maintain 13.75 acres of created wetlands on State Game Lands No. 34, within the headwaters of the Mosquito Creek Watershed (HQ-CWF). The Mosquito Creek Watershed is severely impacted by acid precipitation. The wetland creation will incorporate aquatic and terrestrial habitat improvements including alkaline addition and food plot creation. Wetland creation will result in three separate impacts totaling 200 linear feet to a UNT to Mosquito Creek. The impacts will result from the placement of water control structures to capture hydrology for the wetland creation. The UNT has a drainage area of 190 acres and experiences intermittent subsurface flow within the project boundaries. (The Knobs Quadrangle; Latitude N: 41° 14` 6.18"; Longitude W: 78° 17` 0.95").
