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

Proposed Consent Decree

Quaker City Gear Site, Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County

   The 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 Decree with the Mermelstein Family Trust (Trust), to resolve the litigation captioned and docketed as Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection v. David Mermelstein, Trustee for the Mermelstein Family Trust, No. 46 M. D. 2002, presently pending before the Commonwealth Court. The Trust shall reimburse certain Department response costs incurred to remediate hazardous substances released and threatened to be released at the Quaker City Gear Site (Site), 351 Red Lion Road, Huntingdon Valley, Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County. The Trust is the present owner of the Site. Quaker City Gear Works Corporation abandoned the property after conducting metal workings and gear manufacturing on the Site. The Department has performed response actions including an environmental assessment and field investigation of the Site, the characterization of abandoned drums of liquid hazardous substances on the Site and the removal and lawful disposal of these drums at a permitted facility.

   The Trust wishes to sell the Site and settle its response cost liability. The Department has determined that it is in the public interest to resolve its claims against the Trust. Therefore, the Trust has agreed to reimburse the Department for certain response costs in the amount of $80,000 and shall receive contribution protection from claims related to its ownership of the property.

   This notice is provided under section 1113 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), which states that ''settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to the significant written comments.'' The Consent Decree, which contains the specific terms of the agreement, is available for public review and comment. The agreement can be examined from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, contact David Ewald, (610) 832-6200, dewald@state.pa.us or Gina M. Thomas, Esq., (610) 832-6300, githomas@state.pa.us. A public comment period for the Consent Decree will extend for 60 days from the date of publication. Persons may submit written comments regarding the agreement within 60 days from the date of publication by submitting them to David Ewald at the previous address.

Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response

1.  Background

   The Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) was enacted in 1988 to provide for the cleanup of Commonwealth sites that are releasing or threatening the release of hazardous substances. Section 502(a) of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.502) requires that the Department publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a priority list of sites with releases or threatened releases for the purpose of taking remedial response. This list is called the Pennsylvania Priority List of Hazardous Sites for Remedial Response (PAPL). The Department places sites on the PAPL when the Department has determined through investigation that there are releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or releases or substantial threatened releases of contaminants, which present a substantial threat to the public health, safety and environment. In accordance with section 502(a) of the HSCA, the Hazard Ranking System (HRS) (40 CFR Part 300, Appendix A), established under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), is utilized to rank the sites for placement on the PAPL. The HRS uses mathematical formulas that reflect the relative importance and interrelationships of the various human health and environmental factors to arrive at a final score on a scale of 0 to 100. The values are assigned using information obtained from site investigations. Section 502(a) of the HSCA also directs the Department to consider its administrative, enforcement and financial capabilities when placing sites on the PAPL. HRS scores are finalized by the Department using the HRS in effect at the time the score is prepared and the proposed listing notice is issued under the statute.

   The HRS was developed by the EPA as the method used to evaluate the relative potential of hazardous substance releases to cause health or safety problems, ecological or environmental damage. It is the principal mechanism for placing a site on the National Priorities List, the list of priority releases for long-term remedial evaluation and response under CERCLA. The HRS is calculated by utilizing known information to establish the level of threat presented in four potential pathways of human or environmental exposure: groundwater, surface water, air and soil exposure. Within each pathway of exposure, the HRS considers three categories of factors:

   (1)  Factors that indicate the presence or likelihood of a release to the environment.

   (2)  Factors that indicate the nature and quantity of the substances presenting the potential threat.

   (3)  Factors that indicate the human or environmental targets potentially at risk from the site.

   The resultant HRS score represents an estimate of the relative probability and magnitude of harm to human populations or sensitive environments from potential exposure to hazardous substances by the groundwater, surface water, soil exposure or air pathways.

2.  Summary and Purpose

   Placement of a site on the PAPL is used to identify sites that need further study and/or remedial response decisions to address threats to the public health, safety or the environment. The Department will decide on a case-by-case basis whether to take enforcement or other actions under the HSCA or other authorities and/or to proceed directly with HSCA-funded remedial response actions and seek cost recovery after the cleanup.

   Remedial response actions will not necessarily be taken in the same order as a site's ranking on the PAPL. The investigation conducted to place a site on the PAPL may not be sufficient to determine either the extent of contamination or the appropriate response actions for a site. The Department may undertake further site investigation and/or an analysis of remedial alternatives to determine appropriate response actions. The length of time needed to complete these studies will vary due to the complexity of a site. Response action decisions and implementation will proceed on individual sites regardless of the progress at other sites. Given the limited resources available in the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund, the Department must carefully balance the relative needs for response at the sites it has studied. The Department may decide not to immediately proceed with a HSCA remedial action or that no remedial action is necessary.

   3.  Technical Evaluation Grants under the HSCA

   Under section 510 of the HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.510), the Department may make available a reasonable sum as a grant to the governing body of the host municipality of a site where the Department is considering a remedial response. The host municipality shall use this sum solely to conduct an independent technical evaluation of the proposed remedial response. The grant shall not exceed $50,000. Information and a technical evaluation grant package may be obtained from the Department regional office in which the site is located. Refer to the Additional Information section of this notice.

   A municipality will be sent grant information by the Department after a listing announcement has been published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The grant will be signed; however, the grant will not be effective until the proposed remedial response is available for public review. At that time, the municipality may proceed with the review of the Department's proposed remedial response.

   A.  Effective Date

   The following site is being placed on the PAPL effective upon publication of this Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   B.  Contact Persons

   Individual site information may be obtained by contacting the Department's regional office in which the site is located. The regional office's address is in the Additional Information section of this notice.

   C.  Statutory Authority

   The PAPL is published under the authority of section 502(a) of the HSCA. Under section 502(b) of the HSCA, a decision to place a site on the PAPL or to remove a site from the PAPL is not a final action subject to review under 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law) or section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), nor shall it confer a right or duty upon the Department or any person.

   D.  Review and Public Comment

   The HSCA provides for a 30-day public comment period subsequent to publication of the PAPL. This notice opens the 30-day comment period for the sites being added with this publication. Written comments should be mailed to April Flipse, Hazardous Sites Cleanup Program, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Region, 555 North Lane, Lee Park, Suite 6010, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   The regional office site files contain all information considered by the Department in placing a site on the PAPL. Files are available for review in the appropriate regional Field Operations Office, by appointment only, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday excluding State holidays. Contact the regional Environmental Cleanup Program Manager, whose address can be found in the Additional Information section of this notice. The Department considers all written comments received during the formal comment period. All written comments and the Department's responses will be placed into the site file and will later be incorporated into the Administrative Record.

   E.  Contents of List

   This notice places one site on the PAPL. Table 1 lists the site added to the PAPL. The name of the site, HRS score, municipality, county and the Department region are included in this table. Table 2 lists sites currently on the PAPL. Included is the site added by this notice. The name of the site, HRS score, municipality, county and the Department region are included in this table. The sites are listed in decreasing order of HRS scores.

   F.  Site Listing Summary

   The Chem Fab Site (Site), 300 North Broad Street, Doylestown Borough, Bucks County is an approximately 1-acre parcel currently owned by 300 North Broad Street, Ltd., a fictitious name of Heywood Becker, and is situated several blocks west of the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown Borough, as well as an associated plume of contaminated groundwater that extends into Doylestown Township. The surrounding properties are light industrial, commercial and residential.

   Chem Fab, Inc., a subsidiary of Harvey Radio Company, Inc. from 1969 to approximately 1977, operated an electroplating and metal etching facility at the Site from 1965 to approximately 1986. Wastes generated included ferric chloride, mineral spirits, chromic acid rinse water and sludge, chromic acid, sulfuric acid, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene.

   The EPA conducted a drum removal action at the Site in 1995 and then placed it on the No Further Remedial Action Planned list. Subsequent to these EPA actions, the Department has conducted a site investigation in two phases and generated a Site Characterization Report in July 2000, a Phase II Site Characterization Report in November 2002, a Site Characterization Report Addendum in January 2003 and an Engineering Evaluation Report in May 2003.

   These Department investigations have identified several areas, both on the current 300 N. Broad Street property and on a former part of the Chem Fab property now owned by Extra Space, Inc., which have soil contamination above Statewide health standards. Contaminants in soils are impacting surface water. In addition, there is an extensive groundwater plume beneath both properties and other neighboring properties. The plume is migrating towards Doylestown Borough's Public Water Production Well No. 13. The primary contaminants of concern include trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, their degradation products and chromium, mostly in hexavalent form. The groundwater in several monitoring wells at the Site is literally yellow due to extremely high concentrations of chromium. While groundwater pH varies, several sampling events have generated purge water that was D002 hazardous for corrosivity.
