Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301-303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP
UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Public Notice of Proposed Settlement Agreement
Gibraltar Site, Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305, Solid Waste Management Act, 35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003, Clean Streams Law, Act of June 22, 1937, 35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001 and section 1917-A of The Administrative Code of 1929, has entered into a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement (Settlement Agreement) with Chemtura Corporation (Chemtura); Crompton Colors, Incorporated; CNK Chemical Realty Corp.; Sensient Technologies Corporation; and Sensient Colors, LLC (Sensient Colors). In addition, notice is also being provided under the Solid Waste Management Act that the Department intends to enter into a Consent Order and Agreement (Consent Order) with Sensient Colors.
The Settlement Agreement and Consent Order both concern closed, hazardous waste impoundments at a former dye manufacturing facility (Site), in Robeson Township, Berks County. The waste in the impoundments was stabilized and closed in place. Prior to November 30, 2001, the Site was owned and operated by entities that are subsidiaries, or predecessors of subsidiaries, of Chemtura. Currently, the Site is owned by Sensient Colors, but the financial assurance for the Site was provided by Chemtura.
On March 18, 2009, Chemtura filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subsequent to that filing, Chemtura notified Sensient Colors and the Department that it intended to have its duties concerning the Site, guaranteed by the financial assurance, discharged. Both Sensient Colors and the Department objected. This Settlement Agreement represents a settlement of that dispute.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Consent Order, Sensient Colors will assume full responsibility to the Commonwealth for certain remediation activities and environmental conditions associated with the Site (including maintenance of the closed impoundments); Sensient Colors will submit a bond acceptable to the Department for the Site; the Department will transfer to Sensient Colors the funds from the letter of credit that Chemtura had provided as the financial assurance for the Site; and the Department will have an allowed environmental claim of $35,000 under Chemtura's Chapter 11 Plan. The Settlement Agreement will also resolve Chemtura's civil liability for the Site including, but not limited to, its liability for releases of hazardous substances into the environment and natural resources damages at the Site.
The Department will receive comments relating to the proposed Settlement Agreement and Consent Order for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the proposed Settlement Agreement and Consent Order if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the proposed Settlement Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest.
If the Department does not withdraw its consent to the Settlement Agreement or Consent Order after the public comment period, the Settlement Agreement and Consent Order will then be final. Thereafter, the Department will publish a Public Notice of the final Settlement Agreement and Consent Order. The Settlement Agreement and Consent Order shall be effective on the first business day after all of the following have occurred: 1. The public comment periods for both the Settlement Agreement and the Consent Order have occurred; and 2. The Bankruptcy Court has issued a final order approving the Settlement Agreement.
The Settlement Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Anthony Rathfon, Regional Manager, Waste Management, Department of Environmental Protection, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110. Further information may be obtained by contacting Anthony Rathfon at (717) 705-4706. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 800-645-5984.
