Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302 and 303 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate identifies a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background or Statewide health standard to remediate a site must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site, and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of the cleanup standards identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department and shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.
The Department of Environmental Protection has received the following Notices of Intent to Remediate:

Proposed Settlement Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Crown Recycling and Recovery, Inc.
Lackawaxen Township, Pike CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) (HSCA), has entered into a partial settlement regarding the Crown Recycling & Recovery, Inc. State Superfund Site (Site) . The Site is located near the small rural town of Bohemia on an unpaved road known as Blue Stone Drive in the Huggy Bear Lake Development, Lackawaxen Township, Pike County.
Investigations have revealed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls, heavy metals, and tetrachlorodibenzo dioxin in onsite ash and soils. Tetrachloroethylene has been detected in groundwater beneath the Site. To date, the Department has conducted a Remedial Investigation, a Feasibility Study and a Risk Assessment for the Site. During the course of two interim responses the Department has erected a fence around the Site, removed lead contaminated ash, installed monitoring wells, and installed carbon absorption water treatment units in residences whose well water has become impacted by site related contaminants. During the first phase of the remedial response at the Site, all municipal and residual waste, as well as all scrap metal, was removed and disposed of or recycled. The second phase of the remedial response, which involves the removal of all remaining contaminated ash and soil from the Site, is scheduled to begin in the spring of 1997.
The partial settlement referenced above would resolve certain potential claims of the Department solely against Universal Manufacturing Corporation and Magnetek, Inc. (Settling Defendant), for reimbursement of response costs incurred by the Department in addressing the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. The claims originated under the authority of the HSCA. The settlement would require the Settling Defendant to pay the Department $3,150,000 no later than January 31, 1997.
This notice is provided under section 1113 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113). Section 1113 of HSCA provides that the settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments. The Partial Consent Adjudication which contains the specific terms of the settlement, is available for public review and comment. The Partial Consent Adjudication can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Department's Northeast Regional Office located at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711, by contacting Woodrow Cole at (717) 826-2511 or through the PA AT&T Relay Service at 1(800) 654-5984 (TDD). A public comment period on the Partial Consent Adjudication will extend for 60 days from today's date. Persons may submit written comments regarding the Partial Consent Adjudication to the Department by January 15, 1997, by submitting them to Woodrow Cole at the above address.
