Former Gryphin Coatings, Inc. Site, 3501 Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P.S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (COA) with Dooling Properties, LLC (Dooling) for cleanup of the property located at 3501 Richmond Street, Philadelphia, PA 19134.
Hazardous substances and/or contaminants within the meaning of Section 103 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P.S. § 6020.103, were released and threatened to be released on the Site which was the former location of Gryphin Coatings, Inc. and the Gryphin Company (''the Gryphin Companies''), related companies which manufactured industrial paints, coatings, lacquers and varnishes at the Site. In 2008, the Department determined that the Gryphin Companies' caused the release and threatened release of hazardous substances from their operations on the Site. Pursuant to Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.501(a), to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site, the Department secured the Site and characterized on-site surficial hazardous substances abandoned by the Gryphin Companies. The Department's response actions did not include the remediation of soil and groundwater on the Site.
Dooling purchased the Site with knowledge of the releases of onsite hazardous substances but has not completed a cleanup of the Site. Consequently, hazardous substances remain in soil and groundwater on the Site and create conditions which are a threat of pollution to the waters of the Commonwealth. Dooling enters this COA for the purpose of resolving its liability to the Commonwealth relating to existing contamination on the Site. Under the COA, Dooling will remediate contamination at the Property in accordance with the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act and will receive a covenant not to sue and be eligible for contribution protection in connection with certain claims described in the COA.
This notice is provided 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. An electronic copy or hard copy of the proposed agreement may be requested by contacting either Nicolas Santiago at (484) 250-5764 or nicsantiag@pa.gov or Gina M. Thomas, Esquire at (484) 250-5861 or githomas@pa.gov. A public comment period on the COA will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the COA by submitting them under the subject line ''Dooling COA'' via electronic mail to Nicolas Santiago at the previously listed email address or via U.S. Mail to Nicolas Santiago at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
The Department has reserved the right to withdraw its consent to the COA if comments submitted during the public comment period disclose facts or considerations which indicate, in the Department's discretion, that the COA is inappropriate or not in the public interest.
Former Gryphin Coatings, Inc. Site, 3501 Richmond Street, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia County.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P.S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) has entered into a settlement with 5627-41 Hegerman Street, LLC (Hegerman) to resolve certain enforcement claims regarding Hegerman's failure to comply with the parties' February 2, 2017 Consent Order and Agreement (2017 COA). The 2017 COA required Hegerman to remediate the Former Gryphin Coatings, Inc. Site (''the Site''), located at 3501 Richmond Street in Philadelphia, PA. Before the Commonwealth Court, the Department petitioned to enforce the 2017 COA and in a Stipulation of Settlement (''Settlement'') resolved its stipulated civil penalty claims against Hegerman for its failure to comply with the 2017 COA.
Hazardous substances and/or contaminants within the meaning of Section 103 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, 35 P.S. § 6020.103, were released and threatened to be released on the Site which was the former location of Gryphin Coatings, Inc. and the Gryphin Company (''the Gryphin Companies''), related companies which manufactured industrial paints, coatings, lacquers and varnishes at the Site. Pursuant to Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P.S. § 6020.501(a), to abate the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the Site, the Department secured the Site and characterized on-site surficial hazardous substances abandoned by the Gryphin Companies. The Department's response actions did not include the remediation of soil and groundwater on the Site.
The 2017 COA required Hegerman to take corrective actions to address hazardous substances released at the Site. In 2021, Hegerman sold the Site to Dooling, LLC which has agreed to complete the cleanup of the Site. Pursuant to the Settlement, Hegerman has agreed to pay a stipulated civil penalty in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to resolve its liability for failure to comply with the 2017 COA.
This notice is provided 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''.
