Publicker Industries NPL Site
Philadelphia

   The Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1305) has entered into an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Prospective Purchaser of the Publicker Industries NPL Site. The agreement, effective December 19, 1996, was a modification document to the Prospective Purchasers Agreement. The modification document established a procedure whereby the Prospective Purchaser can implement the remedial response outlined in the Record of Decision (ROD) for Operable Unit #3 in exchange for a reduction in the total dollar amount paid to the EPA and the Department, as outlined in the Prospective Purchasers Agreement. The reduction in dollar amount will be consistent with money spent by the Prospective Purchaser on implementing the remedy in the ROD.

Notice of Settlements Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act

Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company
Newberry Township, York 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 proposed consent order and agreements (COAs) with two parties 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 ISCC'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.
