HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Public Notice of Proposed Amendment to Consent Decree and Settlement Relating to Natural Resource Damages
Department of Environmental Protection
Palmerton Zinc Pile NPL Site
Palmerton Borough, Carbon County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA) has entered into an Amendment to Consent Decree Relating to Natural Resource Damages along with other State and Federal Natural Resource Trustees with the following Settling Defendants: CBS Operations, Inc. (f/k/a Viacom International, Inc.) (CBS), TCI Pacific Communications, Inc., (TCI), CBS/Westinghouse of PA, Inc. (CBS/Westinghouse), HH Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Horsehead Industries, Inc.), and HRD Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Horsehead Resource Development Company, Inc.).
The site is located in Palmerton Borough, Lower Towamensing and East Penn Townships, Carbon County, Washington Township, Lehigh County, and Lehigh Township, Northampton County.
This Amendment to Consent Decree serves to compensate the Commonwealth and the United States by means of settlement of the natural resource damages claim resulting from the Palmerton Zinc Pile Superfund Site. The settlement includes a cash payment of nearly $10 million from CBS/Westinghouse of Pennsylvania, Inc., the current owner of a portion of the site; CBS Operations, Inc.; TCI Pacific Communications, Inc.; HH Liquidating Corp.; and HRD Liquidating Corp., successor companies of the zinc smelting and zinc recovery operations.
The Commonwealth and United States were represented by the Palmerton Natural Resource Damages Trustee Council which was comprised of the Department, the Game Commission, the Fish and Boat Commission, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In addition, these companies will also pay $2.5 million for damage assessment costs, discharge a $300,000 mortgage on the Wildlife Information Center (Lehigh Gap Nature Center) and transfer 1,200 acres of valuable property known as Kings Manor to the Game Commission. This property is valued at over $8 million. The settlement was developed by a Natural Resource Damage Assessment Team formed under the auspices of the Federal Superfund law (CERCLA), the Clean Water Act, and HSCA. The trustees of the team were authorized to seek compensation for damages to the resources that were impaired by releases of hazardous materials from the former New Jersey Zinc and successor companies' operations.
The monetary payments and property transfer will be used by the State and Federal agencies to restore, replace or acquire equivalent natural resources to compensate for those natural resources impacted as a result of operations at the site. A restoration plan will be developed for public comment by the Trustees.
Under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), the Department is publishing notice of this Amendment to Consent Decree Relating to Natural Resource Damages and will provide a 60-day period for public comment commencing with the date of this publication. Copies of the Amendment to Consent Decree Relating to Natural Resource Damages may be examined at the Palmerton Library located at 402 Delaware Avenue, Palmerton, PA or at the U.S. Department of Justice web site http://www.usdoj.gov/enrd/Consent_Decrees.html, (U.S. v. Horsehead Industries, Inc.). Written comments may be submitted within 60 days following the date of this Public Notice to Ronald Brezinski, Department of Environmental Protection Cleanup Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, 18711-0790. Further information may be obtained by contacting James Kunkle of the Department at (610) 861-2070. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the Amendment to Consent Decree Relating to Natural Resource Damages if comments submitted during the public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the Amendment to Consent Decree Relating to Natural Resource Damages and the Settlement is inappropriate or not in the public interest.

(Johnson Matthey), Suite 600, 435 Devon Park Drive, Wayne, PA 19087 and with and the Whittaker Corporation (Whittaker), 1955 North Surveyor Avenue, Simi Valley, CA 93063, for an environmental investigation and assessment of the Bishop Tube HSCA Site (Site).
The Site consists of 13.7 acres located on Malin Road, south of US Route 30, in Frazer, East Whiteland Township, Chester County. From 1951 through 1999, the Site was owned and operated by various entities including a predecessor to Johnson Matthey and Whittaker and successors to Johnson Matthey and Whittaker.
In March 2005, a Prospective Purchase Agreement was reached between Constitution Drive Partners, LP, the present owner of the Site, and the Department for the remediation of soils contamination at the Site. Concurrently, the Department has been conducting partial characterization of soil, surface water and groundwater. The Department's investigation indicates that hazardous substances, such as chlorinated solvents, are present at significant levels in the groundwater underlying the Site.
On August 18, 2008, the Department entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Johnson Matthey for the performance of an environmental investigation and assessment of the Site. Performance of the Site environmental investigation and assessment has been underway, per the terms of the August 18, 2008, CO&A, as of its November 8, 2008, effective date.
The August 18, 2008, CO&A is now being amended to incorporate Whittaker. Both Johnson Matthey and Whittaker, under the terms of the Agreement, will conduct an environmental investigation and assessment that intends to characterize the following: 1) Groundwater contamination contained within the bedrock originating from the former Bishop Tube Property; 2) Contaminated groundwater contained within the overburden (that is, above the bedrock zone) originating from the former Bishop Tube Property, and occurring on properties down-gradient from the former Bishop Tube Property; 3) The vapor intrusion pathway resulting from migration of contaminants from the former Bishop Tube Property; 4) The groundwater to surface water pathway, to determine whether, and if so where, contaminated groundwater resulting from the Bishop Tube Site may be entering Little Valley Creek or other surface water features; 5) Performance of a Risk Assessment; and 6) a Feasibility Study (if necessary). The Department has agreed to provide Johnson Matthey and Whittaker with a covenant not to sue, and contribution protection for the Site investigation and assessment performed under the Agreement.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Agreement may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA, 19401 by contacting either Dustin Armstrong (484) 250-5723 or Lauren G.

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. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a Site-Specific Standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
