Consent Decree in Action Brought Under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a Consent Decree in United States v. Roger E. Martin,
et al., Civil Action No. 92-469 JE, was lodged with the United States
District Court for the District of Oregon on December 14, 1993. As to
the defendants, Roger E. Martin, Pacificorp, Inc., and Portland General
Electric Company, this Consent Decree settles an action filed by the
United States pursuant to Section 107 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended
(``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9607. The Consent Decree also settles all
counterclaims brought by those defendants against seven federal
agencies.
The United States Department of Justice brought this action on
behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to recover costs
incurred by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') in
connection with removal actions at the Martin Electric Lake Oswego Site
(the ``Site''), a defunct used electrical equipment storage yard in
Lake Oswego, Oregon. In this settlement, Roger E. Martin will pay the
United States $100,000, Pacificorp, Inc. will pay the United States
$70,000, and Portland General Electric Company will pay the United
States $69,000. The federal agencies will pay a combined sum of
$43,200. Also, in consideration of these payments, the settling
generators will receive a covenant not to sue for recovery of the past
costs at the Site.
The Department of Justice will accept written comments relating to
this proposed Consent Decree on or before February 23, 1994. Please
