HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP ACT
Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Metal Bank of America Superfund NPL Site, Philadelphia County The Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (''HSCA''), 35 P.S. §§ 6020.507 and 6020.1102, has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (''COA'') with the Utilities Group members regarding the Metal Bank of America Superfund NPL Site (''Site'').
The Site is located at 7301 Milnor St., Philadelphia, PA 19136, and comprises about 10.5 acres of open land and a structure. The Site was formerly operated by Metal Bank of America, Inc. (''Metal Bank'') and others as a scrap yard and transformer processing facility. From 1969 until 1984, Metal Bank was involved in the processing of used transformers to reclaim their copper cores and iron casings. Metal Bank processed the transformers, emptied them of their oil, disassembled them, separated the various parts, and drained the transformer oil onto a concrete pad and into an underground storage tank (''UST''). Because of the reclamation operation, the ground near the UST became saturated with oil, and other contaminants, including PCBs, PAHs, SVOCs, and VOCs.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Utilities Group entered into a Consent Decree to remedy and monitor the Site. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its response cost claims against the Utilities Group. Consequently, the Department and the Utilities Group have signed a COA through which the Utilities Group agreedto pay the Department Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000) to resolve its response cost liability. The Department has agreed to provide the Utilities Group with protections against certain future liabilities.
The Department provides this notice 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 COA is available for public review and comment. The COA 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 19401, by contacting Tim Cherry at (484) 250.5728 or tcherry@pa.gov or Robert Schena, Esquire at (484) 250-5865 or roschena@pa.gov. A public comment period on the Agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the COA within 60 days of today's date by submitting them to Mr. Cherry in the Environmental Cleanup and Brownfields Program at the above address.

UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the 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, will 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 reuse 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.

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.

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.
