Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Delta Chemicals Site
North Buffalo Township, Armstrong CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has entered into a Proposed Consent Order and Agreement with Bakerstown Container Corporation. Under the proposed Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A), Bakerstown Container Corporation will pay its proportionate share, in the amount of $28,201.10, of DEP's response costs incurred at the Delta Chemicals site. The response costs paid by Bakerstown Container are based on DEP's Non-Binding Allocation of Responsibility (NBAR) which was developed by DEP for the Delta Chemicals site under section 708 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.708). The Proposed CO&A also provides for a Covenant Not To Sue, under section 706 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.706) for Reopeners of the Covenants Not To Sue under section 505 of The Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, the act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 1995-2) (35 P. S. § 6026.101 et seq.) (Land Recycling Act) and for Contribution Protection under section 705(c)(2) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)). The Proposed CO&A does not provide for settlement of DEP's future response costs, or for response costs incurred by other Responsible Persons for the Delta Chemicals site. The Proposed CO&A is authorized by section 709 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.709).
Delta Chemical is located at the intersection of Worthington and Beatty's Mill Roads in North Buffalo Township. The site consists of 1.3 acres, of which approximately 1 acre is enclosed by a fence. Within the fenced portion, there is a small cinder block building, a standpipe buried in the ground, a large and smaller lagoon. There are two contaminated springs located outside the fenced property.
The site's soils, lagoon surface water, the perched groundwater aquifer and surface water and sediment in the unnamed tributary are contaminated with volatile organic compounds. Inorganic contamination was found in the surface soil, subsurface soils, in the standpipe, the lagoon surface water and surface water sediments. This contamination poses threats of direct contact, release of hazardous substances to the perched groundwater aquifer and release of vapors to the atmosphere.
This Notice is being provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and in the Kittanning Leader Times. The Proposed CO&A is available for public review and comments, and is located in the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals site which is maintained at DEP's Southwest Regional Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA.
This public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address. The Proposed CO&A shall become final upon DEP's filing of its responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. DEP reserves the right to withdraw from the CO&A if written comments demonstrate to the Department that the CO&A is not in the public interest.
Notice of Proposed Consent Decree, Amendment to the Statement of Decision and Reopening of Administrative Record
Delta Chemicals Site
North Buffalo Township, Armstrong CountyProposed Consent Decree
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304) (HSCA), has entered into a Proposed Consent Decree with the Delta Chemicals Response Action Group (Group) at the Delta Chemicals site. The Group consists of 23 Potentially Responsible Parties. Under the Proposed Consent Decree, the Group will perform the final remedial response action for the Delta site, which was selected and identified by DEP in its Statement of Decision (SOD) issued in December 1994. The final remedial response action which the Group will carry out is treatment of contaminated soils, using soil vapor extraction, and collection and treatment of contaminated seeps. The contaminated soils will be remediated to achieve the Statewide health standards under Chapter 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act, act of May 19, 1995 (P. L. 4, No. 1995-2) (35 P. S. § 6026.101 et seq.) (Act 2, Land Recycling Act). Contaminated seeps will be treated to achieve National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge limits. The Proposed Consent Decree also provides that the Group will reimburse DEP for its future response costs. In addition, the Proposed Consent Decree provides for a Covenant Not To Sue, under section 706 of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.706) with Reopeners under section 505 of the Land Recycling Act and for Contribution Protection under section 705(c)(2) of HSCA, (35 P. S. § 6020.705(c)(2)). The Proposed Consent Decree is authorized by section 505(g) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.505(g)) and is entered into an order to expedite efficient remedial action, minimize prolonged litigation, and to resolve the Group's liability to the DEP under a Cost Recovery Complaint filed by DEP against the Group and other Responsible Parties in November 1995. The Proposed Consent Decree will be lodged with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania during a 60-day public comment period provided for under HSCA section 1113 (35 P. S. § 6020.1113).

Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address.
The public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. At the close of the public comment period, DEP will file responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. DEP and the Group will then file a Joint Motion to Enter the Consent Decree with Commonwealth Court, requesting the Court approve the Consent Decree. The Consent Decree becomes final upon the Court's approval and entry of the Decree.
Proposed Amendment to Statement of Decision
In December 1994, the DEP issued a Statement of Decision (SOD) for the Delta Chemicals site. In the SOD, DEP established numerical cleanup standards for specific contaminants present at the Delta site, which was based on DEP's Groundwater Protection Strategy and Cleanup Standards for Contaminated Soil Policy. After the SOD was issued, the Pennsylvania Legislature enacted the Land Recycling Act which provided for the specific cleanup standards for soils and groundwater. The DEP proposes to amend the Delta Chemicals SOD to require contaminated soils be remediated to achieve the Statewide Health Standards established under the Land Recycling Act, as set forth below. The DEP has proposed no other amendments to the SOD.
Soil Performance Standards Under December 1994 Statement of Decision
The SOD provided that contaminated soils be remediated to the following levels:
Compound Cleanup Level
(mg/kg dry weight)Benzene 0.9 Chloroform 0.6 1,1-Dichloroethane 0.5 1,2-Dichloroethane 0.8 Ethylbenzene 6.0 Methylene chloride (Dichloromethane) 0.2 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane 1.0 Tetrachloroethene (PCE) 3.0 Toluene 2.0 1,1,1-Trichloroethane 1.0 1,1,2-Trichloroethane 0.9 Trichloroethane (TCE) 2.0 Xylenes 3.0 Revised Soil Performance Standards Under the Land Recycling Act
Under the proposed amendment to the SOD, contaminated soils will be remediated to the following levels:
Compound Cleanup Level
(mg/kg dry weight)Benzene 0.8 Chloroform 10.0 1,1-Dichloroethane 0.5 1,2-Dichloroethane 0.5 Ethylbenzene 70.0 Methylene chloride (Dichloromethane) 0.5 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane 1.0 Tetrachloroethene (PCE) 2.0 Toluene 100.0 1,1,1-Trichloroethane 20.0 1,1,2-Trichloroethane 0.8 Trichloroethane (TCE) 2.0 Xylenes 5.0 The soil standards set forth above are the Interim Statewide Health Standards for soils, based on the soil to groundwater pathway. The technical basis for the Interim Standards is described in DEP's Technical Manual for the Land Recycling Act. A copy of the Technical Manual was filed in the Administrative Record for the Delta site.
Reopening of Administrative Record
The Department is also reopening the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals site, under the authority of section 506(g) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506(g)) and 25 Pa. Code 3.33, in order to include documentation of its response costs incurred in addressing the release and threat of release of hazardous substances from the Delta Chemicals site. The Department opened the administrative record for the Delta Chemicals site, under section 506 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.506) on November 27, 1993, to allow the public to comment on the Department's Proposed Response for the Site. The Administrative Record was closed on December 21, 1994, upon the Department's filing of its SOD. The documentation of the Department's response costs is provided for under section 505(g)(3), and 25 Pa. Code § 3.11(c)(3).
This notice is being provided under section 506(h) of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020) and 25 Pa. Code § 3.33, and is being published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, and the Kittanning Leader Times. The Proposed Amendment to the SOD (and documentation of response costs) are available for public review and comments, and is located in the Administrative Record for the Delta Chemicals sites. It is maintained at DEP's Southwest Regional Office at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Persons wishing to submit written comments may do by sending them to Terry Goodwald at the above address. Persons wishing to have a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the SOD of the reopening of the Administrative Record may request DEP to hold a public hearing by submitting a written request to DEP at the above address. The written request must be made within 30 days of this notice.
The public comment period extends for 60 days from the date of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. At the close of the public comment period, DEP will file responses to any significant written comments received during the public comment period. The proposed amendment to the SOD outlined above will become final upon filing DEP's response to written comments.
