Notice of Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), has entered into a consent order and agreement (COA) with the Maryland Mass Transit Administration (MMTA) regarding the Department's costs incurred for conducting response activities at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company (ISCC) site. The ISCC site is a 9-acre parcel of land in Newberry Township, York County, adjacent to Interstate 83. The surrounding area is primarily rural, although residential, commercial and industrial developments are located within a close vicinity of the site. A number of private residential wells have been contaminated by hazardous substances migrating from the ISCC site.
ISCC was involved in the reprocessing of used solvents. Because of violations of hazardous waste requirements, the Department on July 6, 1989, terminated ISSC's authority to operate a hazardous waste treatment and storage facility. The site was abandoned in 1990 when ISCC declared bankruptcy. A total of 996 parties potentially responsible for the hazardous substances located at the ISCC site were identified by the Department.
Because of the threat to human health and the environment posed by the ISCC site, the site was placed on the Pennsylvania Priority List for Remedial Response on October 26, 1991. The Department and a group of approximately 136 cooperating potentially responsible parties have conducted a number of interim actions at the site to address the release or threat of release of hazardous substances. To date, the Department has incurred costs of approximately $3 million to implement and/or oversee these interim actions. A final remedial action for the groundwater and soil at the ISCC site will be selected by the Department and implemented in the future.
Under the terms of the proposed COA, MMTA will pay the Department $152,025.72. This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). This section provides that the settlement will become final upon the filing of the Department's response to any significant written comments. The COA that contains the specific terms of the settlement is available for public review and comment. The COA can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Barbara Faletti at (717) 657-4592. A public comment period on the proposed consent order and agreement will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the consent order and agreement to the Department by November 13, 1996, by submitting them to Barbara Faletti at the above address.
Prompt Interim Response Action under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Seven Stars Site
East Pikeland Township, Chester County
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Site Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1305) has implemented a prompt interim response action at the Seven Stars HSCA Site in East Pikeland Township near the intersection of Route 113 and East Seven Stars Road. Domestic groundwater wells in this area are contaminated with Trichloroethene (TCE) and Tetrachoroethene (PCE) at concentrations above the Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standard of 5.0 parts per billion.
In deciding the appropriate response, the Department reviewed two possible immediate actions. One option was to take no action and allow the citizens of the Commonwealth to continue to consume contaminated well water. This option was rejected because it does not satisfy the statutory requirement of being protective of the public health. The second option reviewed by the Department was to quickly eliminate the risk associated with drinking contaminated water by providing the affected residents with bottled water until a long term solution to the problem can be developed. The Department selected option two because it would be protective of the public health in the short term and it could be implemented immediately.
The Administrative Record contains information related to the site and the Department's proposed decision to perform this prompt interim response action. The Administrative Record is available for public inspection from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Department's Southeast Regional Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6193. An additional copy of the Administrative Record will be available for public inspection at the Chester County Free Library of Phoenixville located at Second Avenue and Main Street in Phoenixville. Library hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Written comments concerning the prompt interim response action and information in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person or by mail if postmarked on or before Friday, December 13, 1996. Comments should be sent to the attention of Chet Zazo, HSCP Project Officer at the Southeast Regional Office address.
Additionally, the public will have the opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing scheduled for Thursday, October 17, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. at Saint Basil's Church located on Kimberton Road in Kimberton. Persons wishing to present oral comments should register on or before October 10, 1996 by calling Rob Goldberg at (610) 832-6010. Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service, or other accommodation to participate in the proceeding should contact Rob Goldberg at the number provided above to discuss how the Department may best accommodate their needs.
The Department is providing this notice under section 506(b) of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act. The date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates the minimum 90 day public comment period on the Administrative Record as provided under that act. Questions concerning the site may be directed to Chet Zazo, Project Officer, at (610) 832-6193.

The Department will evaluate and consider all protests and comments received. The Department will, where appropriate, modify the proposed plan approval based on the protests and comments received.
The final plan approval will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operated in compliance with the Department's regulations contained in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143 and the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act. A notice of the Department's final decision on the proposed plan approval will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
