HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Langner and Murphy Site, Pine Township,
Mercer CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. § 6020.1113), notice is provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with Thomas Construction, Inc. (Thomas Construction) concerning the proposed ownership, cleanup and redevelopment of the Langner and Murphy Site (Site).
The Site includes an approximately 52 acre property located in Pine Township, Mercer County and any adjacent areas that have been contaminated from the operations of David B. Murphy (Murphy) and Langner Enterprises. From 1985 until 2000, Murphy and Langner Enterprises disposed at the Site a variety of wastes, including military surplus, heavy equipment, drums of liquid chemicals and other wastes that contained hazardous substances. In 1999, the Department issued orders to Murphy and Langner Enterprises to investigate and clean up the Site, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General filed criminal charges against them.
Subsequently, the Department and the Pennsylvania Attorney General determined that Murphy and Langner Enterprises could not pay for the necessary investigation or cleanup of the Site and that their only substantial asset was the Site property. The Department and the Pennsylvania Attorney General settled their criminal and civil claims against Murphy and Langner Enterprises, and these settlements are documented in the plea agreement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General and the inability to pay consent order and agreement with the Department, both dated November 6, 2000 (collectively the Murphy Settlements), which are maintained as public records at the Department's Northwest Regional Office in Meadville.
Under the Murphy Settlements, Langner Enterprises officially dissolved and Murphy was placed on criminal probation and he paid $32,433 to the HSCA Fund. Murphy was also required to pay all property taxes and donate the Site property for public benefit. However, Murphy did not pay the property taxes since 2001, and he did not donate the Site property as required under the Murphy Settlements.
Under its authority under the HSCA, the Department has investigated some of the soil, surface water and groundwater at the Site and has removed contaminated soils, hazardous wastes and other wastes from the Site for proper disposal. To date, the Department has spent more than $450,000 for the investigation and cleanup work at the Site. The Department planned to conduct further monitoring of the groundwater and to remove and properly dispose of the wastes and other materials that remain on the surface at the Site property.
The Department has obtained a report by a qualified real estate appraiser that identifies that the fair market value of the Site property in a clean condition for commercial and industrial uses is $95,000. Under the CO&A that is the subject of this notice, Thomas Construction shall pay the property taxes owed for the Site property, sample groundwater from the ten existing groundwater monitoring wells at the Site for eight quarters and remove for proper disposal the remaining surface wastes and other materials at the Site. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A with Thomas Construction.
The Department estimates that, upon completion, the actual value of the property tax payment, monitoring and lab analyses and removal and disposal actions to be done by Thomas Construction under the CO&A will meet or exceed $156,772 in savings to the public. If, however, the actual savings to the public is less than $95,000 (the appraised fair market value of the Site in a clean condition for commercial/industrial uses), Thomas Construction shall pay the difference to the HSCA Fund under the CO&A.
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 Thomas Construction shall be effective upon the date that Thomas Construction obtains title to the Site property and the Department notifies Thomas Construction, in writing, that the CO&A 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.
The CO&A is available for inspection and copying at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments should be submitted, in writing, to Gary Mechtly, Project Manager, Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6648. TDD users should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at (800) 645-5984.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, shall also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of refuse of the property and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
