Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA'')
In accordance with Departmental policy, notice is hereby given that
a proposed consent decree in United States v. Wauconda Sand & Gravel

decree would resolve civil claims that the United States has asserted
against 17 defendants under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607, for
reimbursement of response costs incurred in connection with the
Wauconda Sand & Gravel Site in Lake County, Illinois.
The proposed consent decree requires defendants to pay $566,448.15

costs incurred at the Site through March 31, 1989. Under the proposed
decree, this sum will be paid in two installments, the last of which is
due within 180 days after entry of the consent decree. The proposed
consent decree also requires defendants to reimburse oversight costs
incurred by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (``U.S.
EPA'') after March 31, 1992 in monitoring compliance with a December
19, 1989 administrative order issued pursuant to section 106 of CERCLA,
42 U.S.C. 9606. In addition, the proposed consent decree provides that
