HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Cohen Scrapyard,
Bradford County, PennsylvaniaThe Department of Environmental Protection (''DEP''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, as amended, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (''HSCA''), has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement for Inability to Pay Settlement with Norman Cohen, Charlotte Cohen, and Shari Cohen, who has power of attorney (''Cohen'').
The DEP and Cohen have agreed to a settlement whereby Cohen will reimburse the DEP for up to $130,000.00 in HSCA Funds spent by the DEP. The HSCA Funds were spent towards the remediation of an automobile junkyard Cohen had owned and operated, which was closed in approximately 1998. The property is identified as Tax Parcel No. 09-020-10-00 (''Site'').
Inspections conducted by the Department in 1994 noted numerous violations such as antifreeze draining to the ground surface, waste tires, stained soils and stressed vegetation, batteries, and 55-gallon drums containing waste paint. Subsequent negotiations with Cohen, a November 27, 2000 Administrative Order, and a court order from Commonwealth Court resulting from a petition to enforce the administrative order, as well as other court proceedings, did not accomplish the necessary waste removal and site characterization activities. During the summer of 2003, DEP used HSCA funds to retain the services of Baker Environmental, Inc., a consultant, to remove containerized wastes from the Site and to perform initial soil characterization activities. Four above-ground storage tanks, two underground storage tanks and forty-three containers of petroleum products and waste, paints, roof coatings, antifreeze and hydraulic oils were removed. In May 2004, the DEP's mobile lab was on the Site to further characterize the extent of the soil contamination. The DEP has spent approximately $131,593.98 of HSCA Funds towards assessment and remedial activity at the Site.
Financial information provided by Cohen, which Cohen has certified to be true, has documented Cohen's financial inability to complete the work. The settlement includes a mortgage on the Cohen home located at 202 Lincoln Street, Sayre, PA 18840, Tax Parcel No. 33-030.22-334-000-000 (''Home''). The proceeds from the sale of the Home shall go to DEP after Cohens have not lived in the Home for a twenty-four consecutive month period, and there is no good faith belief that neither Charlotte Cohen nor Norman Cohen will be able to return to live in the Home. Cohen shall pay a minimum of $77,300.00 and up to $130,000.00 to reimburse DEP. If the sale of the Home is for less than $130,000, and the sales agreement has been approved by DEP, the mortgage will be satisfied in full.
Copies of the full agreement are in the hands of PA DEP, Office of Chief Counsel, Attention: Amy Ershler, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701, (570) 321-6568, and Melissa Keeffe, DeSisti & Keeffe, 325 North Keystone Avenue, Sayre, PA, 18840, telephone: (570) 888-2352, and may be reviewed by any interested party on request during normal business hours.
DEP shall receive and consider comments relating to the settlement for 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. Comments should be sent to the address noted above for the Office of Chief Counsel, PA DEP. DEP reserves the right to withdraw from the settlement if comments received disclose facts or considerations not previously known to DEP which indicate that the settlement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. At the conclusion of the 60 day comment period, if there are comments, then DEP shall meet with the Cohens to address the public comments. If there are not adverse comments, within two weeks after the mortgage has been recorded, DEP will request that Commonwealth Court mark the case filed to 164 M.D. 2001, of DEP v. Cohen as settled and discontinued.
