HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Depart-ment), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1305) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C.A. §§ 9601--9675), has entered into proposed de minimis settlements under section 707 of HSCA (35 P. S. § 6020.707) and section 122(g) of CERCLA (42 U.S.C.A. § 9622(g)) relating to the cleanup of the Container Recyclers Ltd. HSCA Site (site) at 10 E. Wolf Street, Philadelphia, PA. The proposed settlements involve Consent Order and Agreements between the Department and parties known to the Department to be potentially responsible for only a minor portion of the response costs incurred at the Site.

   Contamination identified by the Department at the Site included hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, aqueous wastes with pH greater than 12.5, ignitable or corrosive waste, methyl ethyl ketone and trichloroethylene. A prompt interim response was implemented in accordance with a Statement of Decision (SOD) issued by the Department on December 21, 1994. The response conducted by the Department, which included the removal of hazardous wastes and materials located at the Site, was completed in late 1995. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Order and Agreements, settlors will reimburse a portion of the costs incurred by the Department in connection with the Site. The amount of the reimbursement will be proportional to the number of drums known to have been sent to the Site by each settlor.

   This notice is 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 Consent Order and Agreements from the date of publication of this notice. The proposed Consent Order and Agreements may be examined from 8 a.m to 4 p.m. at the Department's office at Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, by contacting Kevin Hess at (610) 832-6194 or Paul Rettinger at (610) 832-6300 during normal business hours. Persons may submit written comments to Kevin Hess at the previous address. The Department will provide a response to all significant written comments received during the public comment period, and the proposed Consent Order and Agreements authorize the Department to withhold or withdraw its consent in the event that the Department determines, based on comments received during the public comment period, that the Consent Order and Agreements are inappropriate, improper or not in the public interest.

   The proposed CAFO operation will consist of approximately 1,600 average number of Animal Equivalent Units to produce 4 million gallons per year of manure and wastewater to be stored in a 1.71 million gallon primary manure storage impoundment and a 5.2 million gallon secondary manure impoundment with associated transfer structures. The handling and application of the contents will be controlled under a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP), approved by the Tioga County Conservation District. The applicable Effluent Limitation Guidelines in Federal Regulations under 40 CFR Part 412 stipulate that Confined Animal Feeding Operations shall not have any discharge to surface waters under normal operating conditions. All CAFO operations must meet the provisions of an approved NMP, obtain and comply with the Department's Water Quality Management Part II Permit for constructing new manure storage facilities, develop and implement best management practices (BMPs) to ensure that the water quality of the receiving water is maintained. Collectively, these requirements constitute the Department's narrative ''effluent limits'' for CAFOs necessary to protect waters of this Commonwealth.

   The proposed operation is located on the watersheds of unnamed tributaries of Corey Creek and Canoe Camp Creek both classified for the following uses: warm water fishery and aquatic life, water supply and recreation.
