HAZARDOUS SITES CLEANUP

Under the Act of October 18, 1988

Public Notice of Proposed Consent Decree
Millcreek Dump Site
Millcreek Township, Erie County

   Under section 122 of the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C.A. § 9622, and section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Decree concerning settlement of the Department's Complaint against Lincoln Metal Processing Company (Lincoln). The Department's Complaint concerns the response costs that the Department has incurred and will incur to cleanup the Millcreek Dump Site in Erie County, PA. The Department's Complaint is filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, at Doc. No. 93-297 (Erie).

   The Department has incurred over $700,000 in past response costs, and estimates that it will incur over $4 million in response costs in the future at the Millcreek Dump Site. However, based upon Lincoln's limited ability to pay, the Department has agreed to settle its Complaint against Lincoln for $55,000. The specifics of the Department's settlement with Lincoln are set forth in the Consent Decree.

   The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Decree for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the Consent Decree if the comments concerning the Consent Decree disclose facts or considerations which indicate the Consent Decree is inappropriate, improper, inadequate or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with Lincoln shall become final upon the filing of the Department's response to significant written comments to the Consent Decree and upon the United States District Court's approval of the Consent Decree.

   Copies of the Consent Decree are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA, and at the United States District Courthouse in Erie, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Hal Beavers, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Hal Beavers at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Proposed Remedial Response
DuPont/New Castle Junk Yard Site
City of New Castle and Union Township,
Lawrence County

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous SitesCleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101--6020.1304), is proposing a response action for the DuPont/New Castle Junk Yard Site (site). The site is located in the northwestern industrial section of the City of New Castle, and Union Township, in Lawrence County, PA. The site consists of two adjacent properties: an inactive junkyard/battery recycling facility, and an inactive china manufacturing facility with an associated china waste disposal area. Investigations of the site revealed elevated levels of hazardous substances in the groundwater, surface water, sediments and surface and subsurface soil/fill/waste materials. Significant levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and zinc were detected in groundwater samples. Onsite surface and subsurface soil, waste and sediment samples revealed elevated levels of antimony, copper, lead and mercury. Surface water samples from the adjacent Shenango River also indicated offsite lead contamination and migration. Surface soil/sedimentation and waste samples from the junkyard property revealed elevated levels of semi-volatile organic compounds, pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls. The Department's objectives for the site are: prevent human exposure to hazardous substances in surface soil/fill/waste materials; reduce or prevent migration of hazardous substances into the groundwater and nearby surface water and sediments that would result in continuing contamination; satisfy all Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) relating to disposal of wastes; prevent human exposure to contaminated surface water; restore surface water and sediments in the wetland areas to ecologically-based criteria. The Department considered seven remedial response alternatives in order to achieve these objectives at the site:

   Alternative 1.  No Action/Institutional Controls

   Alternative 2.  Onsite Containment of all Contaminated Materials with a Soil Cover.

   Alternative 3.  Onsite Containment of All Contaminated Materials with an Impermeable Hazardous Waste Cap.

   Alternative 4.  Offsite Disposal of Battery Casings and Contaminated Soils and Sediments, Containment of Slag Fill.

   Alternative 5.  Active Remediation of Battery Casings and Contaminated Soils and Sediments by Soil Washing, Containment of Slag Fill.

   Alternative 6.  Active Remediation of Battery Casings by Offsite Thermal Treatment, Containment of Remaining Contaminated Materials.

   Alternative 7.  Active Remediation of Battery Casings and Contaminated Soils and Sediments by Ex-Situ Stabilization, Containment of Slag Fill.

   Each alternative was evaluated with respect to seven comparison criteria of: long-term risks and effectiveness; reduction of toxicity, mobility or volume of hazardous substances; short-term risks and effectiveness; implementability; cost; cost-benefit analysis and ARARs. Furthermore, this comparative analysis evaluated the relative performance of each alternative in relation to each specific comparison criterion. The comparative analysis identified advantages and disadvantages of each alternative so that tradeoffs between the alternatives could be determined.

   Based on the comparative analysis the Department proposes to implement Alternative 7A (ex-situ stabilization, capping with soil cover) with groundwater treatment Option 1 (no action/monitoring) as the remedial response at the site. Alternative 7A would include excavation and onsite treatment of battery casings and contaminated soils and sediments using a stabilization treatment technology. With groundwater treatment Option 1, no active groundwater remediation would occur at the site. The proposed onsite treatment process would use a stabilization treatment technology to convert the leachable hazardous substances (primary lead) to insoluble mineral complexes. The treatment residuals would be expected to be of the general consistency of soil and would be backfilled within the junkyard portion of the site.

   This notice is being provided under section 506(b) of the HSCA. The administrative record which contains the information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The administrative record is located at the Department's Northwest Regional Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please telephone beforehand for an appointment, (814) 332-6648.

   The administrative record will be open for comment from April 25, 1998 until July 24, 1998. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Harold E. Nye, Project Manager, at the Department Northwest Regional Office or by delivering them to the office in person.

   In addition, persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the administrative record, at a public hearing scheduled for May 27, 1998, at 7 p.m. at the City of New Castle Municipal Building, 230 North Jefferson Street, New Castle, PA 16101. Persons wishing to present comments must register with Steve Curcio at the Department's Northwest Regional Office before May 22, 1998, by telephone or in writing. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered should contact Steve Curcio.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to participate in the proceedings, should call Steve Curcio at (814) 332-6816 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
