SPECIAL NOTICES
CLEAN-UP AND REDEVLOPMENT OF A SITE UNDER THE HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Greenville-Reynolds Industrial Development Site
Greenville, Mercer County Under section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has agreed to a Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) with Marcegaglia USA (Marcegaglia) and Greenville Reynolds Development Corporation (GRDC), concerning the areas impacted by the release of hazardous substances from the Former Damascus Tube Facility (Property and Offsite Ditches) which is a subset of the larger Greenville-Reynolds Industrial Development HSCA Site (Site) in Greenville, Mercer County. The Property and Offsite Ditches are areas where hazardous substances, wastes, and other materials from the Former Damascus Tube Facility have been released or threaten to be released.
In the past, wastes and other materials containing hazardous substances were dumped, spilled, or otherwise disposed at the Site including the Property and Offsite Ditches, and these hazardous substances contaminated the soils, sediments and groundwater beneath the Site. The Department and others have investigated the Site and to date have found that sediment, groundwater, and soils at the Site including the Property and Offsite Ditches are contaminated with ''hazardous substances'' as defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103, including, among others: lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), zinc, nickel, manganese, and trichloroethylene (TCE). The presence of these hazardous substances at the Site constitutes a ''release'' and a ''threat of release'' of a hazardous substance, as defined in Section 103 of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.103.
The Agreement concerns Marcegaglia's settlement for the Site, the cleanup of the Property and Offsite Ditches by GRDC, and Marcegaglia respectively, and the redevelopment of the Property within the Site by GRDC for public benefit. Specifically, Marcegaglia will transfer the Property to GRDC at a discounted price and pay $50,158.87 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup fund as settlement for the Site based on costs incurred by the Department on the Property and Offsite Ditches. Marcegaglia will also conduct a response action to address contamination in the Offsite Ditches. GRDC will complete the remediation at the Property and redevelop the Property for industrial use. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Agreement among the Department, Marcegaglia, and GRDC.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Agreement for sixty (60) days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Agreement if the comments concerning the Agreement disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the Agreement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Marcegaglia and GRDC shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies Marcegaglia and GRDC, in writing, that this Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the Agreement or that no such comments were received.
The Agreement is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pennsylvania. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mr. Charles Tordella, Acting Environmental Group Manager. Mr. Tordella can be reached in the Department's Northwest Regional Office, located at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, telephone: (814) 332-6071. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
Plan Revision Approval under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101 Northwest Region: Todd Carlson, Waste Management Program Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) approved the Lawrence County Municipal Waste Plan Revision on January 22, 2016.
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 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 may contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T 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.

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.

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.
The plan revision is a public document and may be viewed at the Department Regional Office previously noted.
