DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976

    In accordance with Department policy, 28, CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States v. TMG 
Enterprises, Inc. et al., Civil Action No. C-94-0544-L-M was lodged on 
December 19, 1997, with the United States District Court for the 
Eastern District of Kentucky. In September, 1994, The United States 
filed this action pursuant to Section 107 of the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 
U.S.C. Sec. 9607, to recover response costs incurred by EPA at two 
sites in Hardin County, Kentucky. The two sites, the Sonora Burn Site 
and the Carlie Middleton Metal Yard Site, were contaminated with lead, 
copper and PCBs at the result of metal salvaging operations conducted 
at the sites from approximately 1975 to 1989. After summary judgment 
was granted on liability in July 1997, settlement was reached in this 
matter for the amount of $2,260,000, which accounts for approximately 
92.5 percent of the response costs for the two sites including DOJ 
costs and interest to date.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of 30 days 
from the date of this publication, comments relating the proposed 
consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department 
of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should refer to: United States 
v. TMG Enterprises, Inc. et al., DOJ Ref. #90-11-2-874.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, Eastern District of Kentucky, 510 West 
Broadway, 10th
