DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Lodging of Consent Decrees
In accordance with 42 U.S.C. 9622(d)(2) and 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that two proposed consent decrees in United States v.
DiBiase Salem Realty Trust, et al., Civil Action No. 91-11028-MA, were
lodged on December 30, 1993 with the United States District Court of
Massachusetts. The Consent Decrees resolve certain claims of the United
States against defendant South Essex Sewerage District (``SESD'') and
Massachusetts Electric Company (``Massachusetts Electric'') under
Sections 106 and 107 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, in connection
with the Salem Acres Superfund Site, a 234.5-acre parcel located
approximately one quarter mile west of Route 107 in Salem,
Massachusetts. Under the settlement reflected in the Consent Decree
with SESD, SESD will pay the United States $460,948 in remedial costs
incurred prior to March 31, 1993, and will perform the remedial cleanup
of the sludge lagoons and certain other areas of the Site. Through the
second Consent Decree, Massachusetts Electric will pay the United
States $93,237 in remedial costs incurred prior to March 31, 1993, and
will perform the remedial cleanup of the flyash pile on the Site. Both
SESD and Massachusetts Electric agree through the settlements to pay
certain future remedial costs incurred by the United States that are
not inconsistent with the NCP.

proposed Consent Decree for 30 days following the publication of this
Notice. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney General
