Public Notice of Proposed Consent Decrees
Oliver Site
Waterford Township, Erie CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.1113--6020.1304), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into two Consent Decrees concerning settlement of the Department's Complaint against General Electric Company (GE) and GAF Building Materials Corporation (GAF). The Department's Complaint concerns the investigation and cleanup of the Oliver Site in Erie County, PA. The Department's Complaint against GE and GAF is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania at the Federal Courthouse in Erie, PA.
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site, and these hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, groundwater and sediments at the Site. The Department has incurred approximately $1 million in past response costs, and estimates that it will cost approximately $3 million to clean up the Oliver Site.
The Department has entered into a settlement with GE whereby GE will, among other things, pay $920,000 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund and will design and construct a water service for the residences with drinking water that is or could be affected by the hazardous substances at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GE.
The Department has also entered into a de minimis settlement with GAF whereby GAF will pay $28,550 to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. This de minimis settlement is based upon the Department's determination that the amount of hazardous substances contributed by GAF is minimal compared to the amount of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; the toxic or other hazardous effects of these hazardous substances are minimal compared to the effects of the other hazardous substances at the Oliver Site; these hazardous substances have not contaminated the groundwater at the Oliver Site; and these hazardous substances have caused and will cause only a minor portion of the response costs at the Oliver Site. The specifics of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Decree for the settlement between the Department and GAF.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to these Consent Decrees for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent to the settlements with GE and GAF if the comments concerning the Consent Decrees disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the settlements are inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. The Department's settlements with GE and GAF shall become final upon the filing of the Department's responses to any significant comments to the Consent Decrees.
Copies of the Consent Decrees are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA and at the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Erie). Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.

S. §§ 3301--3326); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21).

The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for such certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment, and informal conferences).
Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. Such NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chs. 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections, application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor, application number, a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
