DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
Notice is hereby given that on September 27, 1996 a proposed First
Amended Consent Decree in United States and State of California v.
Shell Oil Company, Inc., et al., Case No. CV 91-0589 RJK(Ex) was lodged
with the United States District Court for the Central District of
California. This First Amended Consent Decree represents a settlement
of claims against McAuley LCX Corporation (``McAuley'') for costs
incurred in connection with the McColl Superfund Site (``Site'') in
Fullerton, California under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9607.
Under this settlement between the United States and the State of
California (``Plaintiffs'') and McAuley, McAuley will pay the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') $184,000 for past
United States response costs. The First Amended Consent Decree also
requires McAuley to pay the State of California $66,000 for past State
response costs.
A Consent Decree resolving claims against McAuley was previously
lodged with the Court on December 1, 1995. However, subsequent to the
lodging of that Consent Decree, EPA issued a Record of Decision
(``ROD'') regarding the groundwater remedy at the Site. As a result,
the earlier Consent Decree has been amended to ensure that McAuley does
not take actions that would adversely affect the implementation of this
remedial action. Additionally, the First Amended Consent Decree more
specifically describes the matters addressed in the Covenant Not to
Sue. This First Amended Consent Decree is similar in all other material
respects to the Consent Decree lodged on December 1, 1995.
The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the
proposed First Amended Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to
the Assistant Attorney General of the Environment and Natural Resources
Division, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530, and should
refer to United States and State

of California v. Shell Oil Company, Inc., et al., D.J. Ref. 90-11-2-3A.

Room 7516, Federal Building, 300 North Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles,
California 90012 and at Region IX, Office of the Environmental
