    DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
     
    
    Lodging of Consent Decree Pursuant to the Comprehensive 
    Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
    
        In accordance with the policy of the Department of Justice, 28 CFR 
    50.7 and Section 122 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
    Compensation, and Liability Act (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9622, 
    notice is hereby given that a proposed consent decree in United States 
    v. Environmental Conservation and Chemical Corporation, et al., Civil 
    Action No. 83-1419C (S.D. Ind.)., was lodged with the United States 
    District Court for the District of Indiana, on September 29, 1994. That 
    action was brought against approximately 283 defendants pursuant to 
    Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA for the cleanup of, and for recovery of 
    costs the United States incurred in performing response actions at, the 
    Envirochem Site. The eight settlors to this decree as de minimis 
    contributors of hazardous substances to the Site, as defined in Section 
    122(g) of CERCLA, and under the terms of this decree are paying a 
    certain charge per gallon of wastes that they sent to the Site. This 
    money will be used to reimburse the Superfund for costs the United 
    States incurred in carrying out certain response actions at the Site. 
    The terms of this decree are substantially similar to the terms of two 
    other de minimis settlements entered in this case in 1990 and 1991, 
    which involved other de minimis defendants. The Site is currently being 
    remediated by other defendants pursuant to a consent decree entered in 
    1991.
        The Department of Justice will receive comments relating to the 
    proposed consent decree for a period of 30 days from the date of this 
    publication. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 
    General of the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, Department 
    of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20530. All comments should refer to United 
    States v. Environmental Conservation and Chemical Corporation, et al., 
    D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-48.
        The proposed consent decree may be examined at the office of the 
    United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, U.S. 
    Courthouse, 5th floor, 46 E. Ohio Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204; at 
    the Region V office of the Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West 
    Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604; and at the Consent Decree Library, 
    1120 G Street, N.W., 4th floor, Washington, D.C. 20005, 202-624-0892. A 
    copy of the proposed consent decree may be obtained in person or by 
    mail from the Consent Decree Library. In requesting a copy, please 
    enclose a check in the amount of $12.25 for the decree (25 cents per 
    page reproduction costs) payable to the Consent Decree Library. When 
    requesting a copy, please refer to United States v. Environmental 
    Conservation and Chemical Corporation, et al., D.J. Ref. No. 90-11-2-
    48.
