Notice of Settlement

   In the matter of: PCA Property, Croydon, Bucks County, PA

   Relating to: Croydon TCE Superfund Site, Croydon, Bucks County, PA

   The Department of Environmental Protection, under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305), hereby gives notice that it has entered into a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) with the Slogam Limited Partnership (Slogam) associated with the purchase of the PCA Property in Croydon, Bucks County, PA.

   The PCA Property (approximately 29 acres, 2707 Street Road, Croydon, PA, Bucks County Parcel No. 05-0543-016) is located in the Croydon TCE Superfund Site, a National Priority List Superfund Site in Croydon, PA. Environmental investigations have revealed that groundwater contamination from the Croydon TCE Superfund Site has migrated beneath the PCA Property. Slogam, the prospective purchaser of the PCA Property, is not presently a responsible person with regard to contamination from the Croydon TCE Superfund Site. Slogam has resolved any potential liability to the United States which may be associated with the purchase of the PCA Property through a similar prospective purchaser agreement.

   Through the PPA, Slogam would resolve any potential liability to the Department and become eligible for protection from contribution claims relating to the Croydon TCE Superfund Site that may stem from the purchase and ownership of the PCA Property. Under the terms of the PPA, Slogam will remit certain response costs to the Department, provide access to the Department, cooperate with any response actions, and agree not to exacerbate any contamination from the Croydon TCE Superfund Site.

   This notice is being provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). The Department will provide for a 60-day public comment period on the proposed PPA from the date of publication of this notice. Under section II 13 of HSCA, the PPA will become final when the Department files its response to any significant public comments received during the comment period. The PPA may be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Department's Southeast Field Office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428. Interested persons may contact Robert Zang at (610) 832-6152 or Anderson Lee Hartzell at (610) 832-6300. Persons may submit written comments to Robert Zang at the above address.

Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearings

   Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan for Butter Krust Baking Company, Inc.

   The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for a bread and roll baking facility owned and operated by Butter Krust Baking Company, Inc. in the City of Sunbury, Northumberland County.

   The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approval for the facility to comply with current regulations.

   The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the U. S. Enviromental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.

   The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination for this operation:

   1.  The volatile organic compound emissions from the Readco model #102210 bread oven shall not exceed a total of 119.03 tons in any 12 consecutive calendar month period occurring up to May 31, 2000. For any 12 consecutive calendar month period ending after May 31, 2001, the volatile organic compound emissions from this oven shall not exceed a total of 23.7 tons. For any 12 consecutive calendar month period ending after May 31, 2000 but prior to June 30, 2001, the volatile organic compound emission from this oven shall not exceed the following rates:

   for 12 month period ending June 30, 2000 -- 110.09 tons total

   for 12 month period ending July 31, 2000 -- 103.10 tons total

   for 12 month period ending August 31, 2000 -- 95.20 tons total

   for 12 month period ending September 30, 2000 -- 87.26 tons total

   for 12 month period ending October 31, 2000 -- 79.32 tons total

   for 12 month period ending November 30, 2000 -- 71.40 tons total

   for 12 month period ending December 31, 2000 -- 63.46 tons total

   for 12 month period ending January 31, 2001 -- 55.52 tons total

   for 12 month period ending February 28, 2001 -- 47.58 tons total

   for 12 month period ending March 31, 2001 -- 39.64 tons total

   for 12 month period ending April 30, 2001 -- 31.70 tons total

   for 12 month period ending May 31, 2001 -- 23.70 tons total

   2.  The volatile organic compound emissions from the Baker Perkins model #970A roll oven (roll oven 1) shall not exceed a total of 20.0 tons in any 12 consecutive calendar month period.

   3.  The volatile organic compound emissions from the Petersen model #LDASU 4138 roll oven (roll oven 2) shall not exceed a total of 20.88 tons in any 12 consecutive calendar month period.

   4.  The volatile organic compound emissions from all bread and roll prebaking processes shall not exceed a total value in any 12 consecutive calendar month period which is equivalent to 11.11% of the total combined volatile organic compound emissions allowed for the Readco bread oven, the Baker Perkins roll oven and the Petersen roll oven.

   One public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit and the proposed SIP revision. The hearing will be held on October 9, 1996, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal.
