HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988

Public Notice of Proposed Consent Order and Agreement

AVTEX Mercury Release Sites

Crawford County, PA

   Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Crawford County Properties, Inc. (CCPI) concerning the cleanup of the Avtex Mercury Release Sites (sites). The sites include both the initial release location at the former Avtex Fibers, Inc. manufacturing facility (Facility) and the individual locations described as the Adjunct Mercury Release Sites. The Facility is located on a 170-acre property adjacent to Dunham Road in Vernon Township, Crawford County, PA. The Adjunct Mercury Release Sites are 33 distinct sites, located in Hayfield, Richmond, Spring, Union, Venango, Vernon, Woodcock Townships, Crawford County, PA.

   In the past, hazardous substances were released at the sites and these substances contaminated the environment at the sites. The Facility was owned and operated by various entities from 1929 to 1986 to manufacture synthetic fibers. During all or part of that period of operation, a wastewater treatment plant was used by the entities operating the Facility at the site to treat wastewaters. During the years of operation, mercury came to be located in the trickling filter tanks at the wastewater treatment plant. In 1986, CCPI purchased the property that included the Facility. Between 1995 and 1997, mercury-containing wastes (wastes) were released into the soils adjacent to the trickling filter tanks at the Facility during dismantling operations. Later, filter media from those tanks was transported for use as fill material to the sites, including elsewhere on the Facility. These wastes contaminated the environment at the sites. Mercury is defined in section 103 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.103) as a ''hazardous substance.'' The Department and CCPI removed the wastes from the Adjunct Mercury Release Sites for proper off-site disposal, at a cost of approximately 1 million dollars. That response mitigated the threat to human health and the environment posed by the wastes. As an owner of the facility and a generator during the time of the release and threatened release of hazardous substances at the sites, CCPI is a ''responsible person'' as defined in section 103 of HSCA. Under the terms of the Agreement, CCPI shall, among other things, pay the Department $5,000 to resolve its liability at the sites. In addition, CCPI has remediated one of the sites (the Wetzel Site) and will also implement an approved supplemental work plan for specific tasks and long-term operation and maintenance activities at the Facility.

   The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A between the Department and CCPI. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A for 60 days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if the comments concerning the CO&A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with CCPI shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies CCPI, in writing, that this Consent Order and Agreement is final and effective in its present form and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A, or that no comments were received.

   Copies of the CO&A are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Mark Gorman, Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Mark Gorman, at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at (800) 645-5984.
